Bazaar MyTown

Saturday, 18 November 2023

Lepas makan dekat restoran Dakchigo, on the way nak ke laluan MRT, terdengar busking dekat ruang luar MyTown. Bila menapak keluar, nampak ada bazaar penuh dengan pelbagai jenis booth. Seronok tengok tema bazaar MyTown ni sebab aesthetic. Semua booth yang turut serta menggunakan kayu dan tema warna pastel. 

I boleh tengok je lah bazaar ni sebab dah kenyang makan dekat Dakchigo sebelum tu. Semua peniaga yang ada dekat bazaar MyTown ni adalah peniaga Cina jadi ada makanan yang tak boleh dimakan sebab ada babi dan alkohol. 






Ruang untuk makan pun banyak disediakan di bazaar ni. Boleh pilih nak makan dekat ruang tengah yang penuh dengan meja kayu dan kerusi santai ataupun makan di ruangan tengah sambil layan busking. Walaupun tempat ni teduh dari sinaran matahari tapi tetap panas jugak sebab tak ada kipas. Angin pun tak ada so kalau stay tanpa kipas tangan memang cepat sangat kulit jadi merah. Well, my skin does hshshs





Selain makanan, di bazaar MyTown ni ada juga yang buka kelas untuk kraf. Sebagai tangan yang tak berseni, molek kalau I tengok dari jauh sambil menghargai seni buatan tangan orang lain. 







Bazaar yang jual pakaian, aksesori, lilin homemade, kraf tangan, lukisan dan pokok tanaman pun banyak juga. Sebelum ni I nampak bazaar dekat Pasar Seni dengan Lalaport, tak sangka dekat MyTown pun ada. Tak pasti kalau minggu tu untuk bazaar peniaga Cina kemudian minggu lain bertukar peniaga lain ikut tema macam dua mall tu. Tapi kalau fixed pun I don't have problems, poket I je bermasalah hshs

Jatuh Cinta Dengan So-tteok So-tteok Kyochon

Lepas menang main game dekat event Disney+ Hotstar, kitorang makan malam dekat Kyochon sebab tarikh luput baucar tu hujung bulan Disember nanti. Kalau tak guna, nanti lupa lepastu burn macam tu je. 

I dah lama tak makan dekat Kyochon sebab pilihan dia tak banyak yang menarik nak dibandingkan dengan K-Fry so bila dapat baucar tu macam blur jugak nak makan apa. Masa tengok TikTok ternampak resipi so-tteok so-tteok tapi malas nak buat sendiri. Dah alang-alang ada dekat Kyochon, why not cuba kan? 
 

So-tteok So-tteok ni antara snek popular di Korea. Kalau tengok K-drama pun banyak sangat scene makan snek ni sampai terliur dibuatnya. Nak masak pun mudah tapi nak prep tu kena ada banyak bahan sebab rasa dia manis-manis pedas. Bahan utama pula guna tteokboki dan sosej yang digoreng. 

Ada dua pilihan So-tteok So-tteok di Kyochon sama ada nak pedas shinhwa ataupun perisa manis madu. Boleh juga order untuk mix kedua-dua perisa. Kitorang ambik mix sebab takut kalau pedas sangat. Rasa dia sedap sebab sos perapan tu cukup rasa. Makan panas-panas lepastu minum dengan air Sprite, effect dia sama macam kita tengok Korean makan dalam K-drama hahaha



Untuk main dish, ambil ayam goreng 12 pcs peris campur pedas dan original. Masa pergi tu, perut kenyang lagi jadi tak nak makan something yang heavy sangat. Sebab tu ambil So-tteok So-tteok dan ayam. Air pula ambil Iced Yuza Tea (Korean Citron Tea). Rasa dia lebih kurang je macam lemon cuma manis sikit. 



Happy ye makan guna gift voucher ni sebab keluar RM5 je untuk baki bayaran. Ada jugak nampak menu baru dekat Kyochon so lepas ni boleh try makan yang lain pulak sampai voucher habis. 

Lunch di Dakchigo MyTOWN


Minggu lepas ternampak restoran Korea baru di MyTown terus set Sabtu lepas untuk cuba makanan dekat sini. Restoran Dakchigo terletak di tingkat 3 berdekatan dengan eskalator. Naik je terus nampak restoran dia. 


Dekat bahagian luar Dakchigo letak bunting untuk promote Lunch Package berharga RM15 dengan 5 jenis side dish dari Isnin sehingga Ahad dari jam 11pagi hingga 5petang. 





Ruang makan dia tak lah banyak sangat tapi mungkin juga sebab weekend so ramai yang datang in large groups. Interior dia simple je ada peta Korea Selatan di dinding dengan nama setiap daerah. Menu dekat restoran Dakchigo ni ada pelbagai jenis menu dengan ayam sebagai main ingredient. 




Kitorang order whole grilled chicken, Beef Budae-jigae, Sotbab, Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Scallion Pancake) dan Gimmari. Set Beef Budae-jigae tu dah ada semangkuk nasi putih dengan iced green tea. Since kitorang datang berdua, tambah Sotbab (nasi putih). For drinks, ambil Bongbong Grape. 

Sementara tunggu order siap, dekat atas meja ada beberapa games macam dalam variety show Korea tu. Ada truth and lie detector, buaya bergigi dengan senapang mainan. Setiap meja tak sama toys dia, so kalau nak specific toys kena mintak lah dengan staff Dakchigo. Kitorang main apa ada je sebab masa pergi tu kan ramai, malas nak kacau staff hshs


Ni semua makanan yang kitorang order, meja dekat sini kecil je so senang sangat nampak penuh. Tak sangka langsung yang Haemul Pajeon tu besar gedabak. Letak dia je, dah separuh meja. Lepastu datang pula whole chicken tu. 

Kalau tengok dalam video TikTok, whole chicken tu ada sos siap tapi bila pergi kena buat sendiri ye. Dia bagi je dalam bekas kecil lepastu dip lah isi ayam dalam sos tu. I tak tahu Dakchigo pakai sos apa tapi sedap. Whole chicken ni ada cheese sebelah kanan dan kerak nasi di sebelah kiri. Don't put high expectation untuk ayam tu sebab rasa tawar. Dia memang ayam grill semata. Dalam set ayam tu ada ban berinti tapi tak tahu flavor apa. Entry ni sedih lah sebab I lupa nak ambil gambar buku menu dia jadi tak tahu apa nama menu dengan ingredients. 


Haemul Pajeon antara menu yang ramai TikTokers suggest sebab tu kitorang order jugak sebab nak rasa. Bahan utama pajeon adalah daun bawang jadi tak hairan lah kalau banyak sangat daun bawang. I tak lah tak suka dengan daun bawang tapi bila makan dalam kuantiti yang banyak dia jadi pahit. Seafood tak lah banyak sangat walaupun besar jadi pajeon tu tak ada rasa manis seafood. Kalau order haemul pajeon, jangan order menu berat yang lain sebab makan 4 slice ni pun dah kenyang. 


Set nasi yang berharga RM5 ni antara keunikan restoran Dakchigo. Dihidangkan dalam periuk besi Korea dengan sayur dan cendawan . Bila waiter nak serve dekat table, dia akan release steam dan bagitahu cara untuk makan nasi ni. Sos kicap dan bijan yang dia bagi tu kena gaul dengan nasi. Kalau nak pedas, boleh gaulkan dengan cili tumbuk. Dah gaul, boleh makan dengan seaweed kering. 

Nak kata sedap sangat tu tak lah sebab nasi putih kukus dengan sayur je. Even sayur dia pun tawar, tak ada rasa pun. I tak suka kicap sangat tapi not bad lah gaul dengan nasi. Makan pulak dengan beef budae-jiggae memang tersandar. Rasa macam makan dekat Korea. 



Ni lah 5 side dishes percuma yang dihidangkan dengan set nasi. Ada kobis dihiris kecil dengan jagung, kimchi, seaweed, edamame dan jeruk lobak putih. Selama ni kalau makan lobak putih memang tak berapa kena dengan tekak tapi dekat Dakchigo, sedap!! 

Semua side dishes yang dihidangkan habis kitorang makan sebab semua pun sedap. Edamame tu manis walaupun rebus je. Semua side dishes ni boleh minta refill bila dah habis tapi sebab lauk kitorang banyak sangat, memang tak lah nak refill. Celah mana lagi nak sumbat entah. 


Paling favorite sekali dekat Dakchigo ni Gimmari sebab crunchy bila makan. I tak sure nama dia gimmari ataupun something else sebab tak ambil gambar menu. Ingat ingat lupa. Menu ni sesuai sangat jadi pembuka selera sebab cepat siap antara semua menu. Sedap makan panas-panas tapi lidah mudah melecur sebab dekat dalam ada glass noodle. 

Total harga semua menu ni RM120 sebab order ayam grill tu but that's okay lah untuk makan sekali sekala. Lepas ni kalau datang nak try Boneless BBQ Chicken pulak ataupun jjampong sebab budae-jigae dia sebab so menu yang lebih kurang sama resipinya tu mesti not bad jugak.
