UNCLE JANG KOEAN RESTAURANT

If you are not familiar with Ampang area, finding this restaurant could be quite tricky. Maybe these landmark or road name can help you to get there. Galaxy Ampang, Police Station, Taman Dagang, Tiara Condominium and Sri Ampang Apartment .

It was raining heavily when  we arrived there before the operating hour i.e. 530pm. Obviously, no diner(s) except the Korean owner and  few male foreign workers.

 I love this traditional Korean dining concept. Dining area on a raised platform with round dining table and cushions on the floor.

Signature staple 

It is common to see plates of fresh green lettuce, kimchi, banchan/side sides, cut garlic and red sauce serve to every customer in Korean restaurant. But over here, they don't give banchan which is quite upsetting.

Uncle Jang is famous for it's Dak-Galbi, a popular Korean dish made by stir frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang (chili pepper paste), cut cabbage, onion and rice cakes on a huge hot plate.  The waiter will cook this dish right in front of you and you just need to sit down and watch 'the cook in action'. 

Dak Galbi can be enjoyed on its own or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a fresh and crunchy taste. I like everything in the hot plate from the chicken tenderness, chewiness rice cakes which absorbs the kimchee paste and blend well with the crunchiness of the cabbage.

 

Since the weather is cold, we ordered Chicken Ginseng soup to keep us warm. Unfortunately, this hot piping soup was way below our expectation. We were served a whole drumstick with glutinuos rice inside the soup plus two ginseng roots. It tasted bland without any hint of ginseng.

YUMMY SQUIDS, AWESOME FISH HEAD AND CRABS

Klang is famously known for Bah Kut Teh and also seafood.  After having Bah Kut Teh  for lunch and singing in Karaoke till 730pm, we drove to the nearest seafood restaurant for dinner. Restaurant Foo Chuan was packed with diners but we were at luck to get a table within five minutes.

With a plate of white of rice for each of us, we walloped all the dishes in less than forty five minutes.

Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk and Nestum (RM38)
Sweet and meaty crabs but the combination of salted egg yolk nestum didn't complement well. If without the latter (too sweet for my liking), I will certainly finish this whole plate of crustacean though it added more fragrant.

Curry Fish Head (RM38)
Fat chunks of red fish head and greens cooked in a rich and smooth texture gravy infused by the aromatic curry leaves. A bargain not to be missed. AWESOME!



Deep Fried Squid Rings (RM10)
Encased in a light batter, the flavorful squids was fried to golden brown and crisps with perfection. Star of the Nite....YUMMY!
