*How to prepare salt egg:-

Paste filling: i buy ready made pandan lotus & red bean lotus(from bakery store)

2. Cooked Cornflour - take the cornflour to steam for 10-15min.

My fren Michelle bring us to tis korean restaurant to try the Korean Style BBQ at Ampang....
The shop is open by a couple of Korean ppl...is really from korea...

Overall the food is satisfy...the BBQ is quite nice too....the spicy soup is delicious too as is different from our chinese spicy soup....the side dishes is FOC and can be refill...can't believe it!! haha~
we do order plain rice to eat together with the side dishes and soup...but 1 plain rice is cost RM5...OMG!!! even i go oversea to have a plain rice only cost me RM2.50 but tis korea restaurant charge us RM5 per bowl.... @.@"
