大长今 Dae Jang Geum

Dae Jang Geum – she was the first female physician Of the Korean Joseon dynasty, and I’ve certainly come across many Korean restaurants bearing this name.

 

The place is full of activities as I walked in. A group of Koreans are happily chatting away at one table and a gwei lo family are also having an interesting conversation at another.

 

 

 

 

The waiter politely enquired we wanted to sit at the normal tables –with chairs or whether we preferred the Korean dining style i.e whereby you sit on cushions placed on the floor. We chose the latter.

We ordered galbi (RM65) and dae ji galbi (RM32) – our selection was beef and premium pork ribs. The waiter cooks these at our table and carefully cuts them into tiny pieces using his super sharp scissors. Upon seeing that my son loved the beef, the cut them into minute strips for him.

Our meal is being cooked

 

 

Ready to eat!!

 

We also asked for a bottle of water. Just like most other Korean restaurants, water is free and refillable.

 

 

The side dishes are excellent and whenever you ask for them to be topped up, they are being done so promptly - there are lots of side dishes to whet your appetite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a hearty meal, dessert is served – watermelon and of course some sikhye – a sweet, cold drink made of barley malt and some rice.

 

What makes the USJ10 大长今 outstanding is to me, of course, the level of service and the detailed attention accorded to its customers by each and every person working there.
