Koreana Restaurant

I went to Koreana Restaurant to celebrate Wennie's belated birthday on 16/12/2006(Saturday) with my friends - Diana, Wennie, Jamie, EJ and Robin. Koreana Restaurant is located opposite Hilton Hotel Kuching, same row with Scoops Ice Cream. We reached there around 7:15pm.


I have booked a room for dinner. Be prepared. Something gonna happen inside the room. Hehe. The room is quite big with two big tables. We have ordered 4 dishes.

Here's the dishes we have ordered.

Dish 1: Bibimbap.

Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice" or "mixed meal." Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with sauteed and seasoned vegetables, beef, a fried egg, and gochujang (chile pepper paste). The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating.

This dish was nice. The rice was soft and lots of ingredients can be found inside. A perfect and recommended dish.

Dish 2: Beef Bulgogi.

Bulgogi is one of Korea's most popular beef dishes. It is made from thinly sliced sirloin or another prime cut of beef. The meat is marinated with a mixture of soy sauce, pear purée, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, wine and sugar. It is marinated for two to four hours to enhance the flavor and its tenderization. Bulgogi is traditionally grilled, but broiling or pan-cooking is common as well. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions, and chopped green peppers are often grilled or cooked at the same time. It is often served to non-Koreans as a first taste of Korean cuisine. This dish is usually served with a side of lettuce or other leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, oftentimes along with a dab of ssamjang, kimchi, or other side dishes, and then eaten as a whole. Bulgogi literally means "fire meat" in Korean.

This dish was quite nice. The meat was tender and juicy. However, I still prefer bulgogi from Seoul Garden near 3rd mile.

Dish 3: Crispy Pork

This dish was just ok. Nothing special about it. Forgive me for the name of this dish as I have forgotten the name for it.

Dish 4: Korean Noodles.

This dish was normal. The noodles is similar to vermicelli or glass noodles. Forgive me for the name of this dish as I have forgotten the name for it.

White Lady Cake.

We bought this cake from Taka for Wennie. It is called White Lady. The top of the cake was coated with white chocolate. The cake inside was vanila sponge cake. Nice to try. :D

After eating the cake, we gave Wennie a special present. Hehe. I bought this present from Minoshe in Sarawak Plaza. Surprise! The present was a set of Pierre Cardin bra and panty. I thought of buying this as Wennie's present when I was shopping with Tze Woei inside Minoshe on 30/11/2006 (Thursday).

After having fun, we left Koreana Restaurant and we went to Hilton Hotel. We have taken some photos there at the lobby. The lobby was decorated with Christmas tree. Nice spot to take photo.

Later, we went to McDonald's Restaurant at 3rd mile for supper. We ordered Sundae cones, french fries and drinks.

Happy 24th Birthday to Wennie.
