KIM's Korean Food at Tavoy Lane, Penang.

After many weeks of hawker Asian food, my mom's friend Aunt Teresa decided to give us a treat at nearby Korean restaurant- KIM's Korean Food. This restaurant is tucked behind the corner of 2 Tavoy Lane, Penang- Malaysia. Since the 3 of us are Korean drama addicts, this would be a good opportunity to try out this new restaurant.

The old house has been renovated nicely and interior looks splendid. The Korean boss hired local and foreign serving staffs. The menu was quite expensive and the food was very spicy.
Every dish that came out literally looked RED and spicy. Oh well I guess we ordered too much as well. For the 3 women, we ordered like 5 dishes.



Teresa has seafood stew (sondubu jjigae), I had spicy rice cakes (tteokpoki), Mom had bibimbap (rice hotpot). All of us also shared the stir fried spicy squid and Korean fried chicken with special sauce.




The fried chicken was a super let down- filled with lots of batter and too sweet sauce for my liking. No good! There wasn't much chicken meat in it so it was a disappointment.
There were better Korean fried chicken that I've eaten so far... sighs... 

The rice cakes were alright, the bibimbap was nice, so was the seafood stew. The stir fry squid was spicy and was filled with lots of onions too.
I don't know the price for the total dinner but I don't think it was cheap.
