Uncle Jang Korean Restoran, Ampang Branch, KL
I am not really a fan of Korean food. But this place offers a change to the usual, and probably, something different that is worth a try.
My sister recommended Uncle Jang Korean Restoran and since it was her birthday, she brought us to this restaurant, claiming it to be different. I have to admit that she was right: the visit to the restaurant came with a unique spin.
Upon entering the restaurant, i noticed each table has a hot plate on it. The tables were divided into two: one low enough that allows us to sit on the floor and eat, and another for us to sit on the chair. We sat, a bottle of water was brought to our table, and we began placing our orders. We ordered hot plate chicken (minimum of 2 persons, so we chose one Original and one Spicy) and Ramen noodles.
Our orders arrived and the waiter tossed the raw food onto the hot plate. The underneath of the table did get a little warm and sitting in front of the stove felt like being in a 'Teppanyaki' restaurant.
Lots of raw cabbage, chicken, tapioca and rice cake centered on the hot plate. The waiter was there to stir for us but we can also do (or play) it ourselves.
Toss and turn, the reddish sauce smeared the chicken and the cabbage. I could not resist the smell of the dish being cooked. It smelled good and it tempted my appetite. When the chicken was cooked, the Ramen noodle was added to the hot plate. Minutes later when the waiter invited us to eat, we dived onto the hot plate, searching for Ramen noodles, chicken pieces and rice cake.
My plate for lunch. It smelled nice; it looked good; it tasted great. The sourish taste blended well with the tenderness and sweetness of the chicken, and the pinch of spiciness added flavour to the dish.
Like most Korean food restaurants, the green lettuce was served too. Food from the hot plate- chicken and cabbage, were placed and sandwiched between the leafy lettuce, and i ate like a tortoise, taking one lettuce after another. It was just so green.
At the end of our lunch, we were served dessert- on the house.
The friendly people and this new experience at a Korean restaurant opened my eyes to the variety of its cuisine. I am sure i will be back at this restaurant to try the other, unique Korean dishes it has to offer.
