DAORAE Korean BBQ In IPOH

If you ask me to choose between Korean and Chinese dishes, I will surely opt for the latter... but when I asked my kids which they rather prefer, they opt for the Korean food in One Voice simultaneously!  I shall call this Our Generation Gap....

Two versus One.... so we ended up in DAORAE Korean BBQ in De Gardens, Ipoh.  I haven't been there before and I am amazed by their comfortable settings and ambience... one setback though...

There are two type of settings, those who opt for the normal table and chair will have to sit "outside" and the younger ones, I am sure they prefer the setting without chairs but with a "Big Hole" in the middle for you to put our legs.... (if you know what I mean)

There we are... without chairbacks...
the silver thing is an exhaust chute to "vacuum" out the smoke...
the smoke-less charcoals...
prime ribs... 
(we don't have to lift a hand to do that,
the cooking done by the waiters)
bottomless sidedishes..
my son asked for the pancakes many times.. Gosh!
table full... 
fried rice with beef....
this one...er... steamboat kimchi with mixed varieties...
 
Overall, the Korean meal is not really for me...
I don't really enjoyed eating these..
(maybe my teeth were aching due to too much chewing!)
Don't ask me about the price..
It was just wayyyyyy too high for me! LOL...
For that price, I can have a Super Nice Chinese Dinner!!

(Yes, yes... I guess I am not Up and Trendy!)
LOL......

    You're not alone... Korean food is a no-no for me, except the stone bowl rice, bibimbap.

    We have a Korean place here...been around for years and years and very popular. Been there a few times before - not bad but I dunno how authentically Korean it is.

    Pancake and Kimchi are Korean most signature food. The Kimchi with noodles inside looks so good.

    Ya...I agree with you! Soooo expensive! And the Japanese places too...and the western ones but the young people simply love such places. I think they would need to earn a lot of money to be able to afford those places and that kind of lifestyle. I think old people more careful with money - simpler tastes but pockets very full. Young people - got style, got class...pocket kosong. Oops!!! *better run and hide now...sure lots of people will start bashing me up! LOL!!!!!

    I love Korean food and eat it at least once a week, but you do have to be in the mood for it.
