Check out this hidden Korean BBQ restaurant in Ampang town, located at Jalan Sulaiman. This low-key, secret Korean BBQ restaurant does not have any business signboard or obvious prop to indicate that they are a Korean restaurant. The only way to locate them from road is to carefully look for the red-white stripes wall, "takeaway" on a small white board or perhaps you might also see some customers queuing outside the shop. BTW, Waze don't pinpoint the exact location somehow! 

Take a good look.

Besides known for their discreet & shady appearance to the public, many commented the "uncle" for bad manners, poor hospitality and rude to certain customers. Based on my experience, there was a couple queuing ahead of me, were asked to wait - while I managed to negotiate with the Uncle to have my seat without queuing. Since then, the couple stopped queuing and left. Also, some reported that you can only place your order once. Check the Google Review to learn more.

Typical Korean partition.
Fragile wood partition with wallpapers and hangul writing.

Outer appearance may perceive the entire dining area dirty but they are actually clean, but just beware and smart about it. So far, so good. Typical Korean vibe.

Kimchi Soup (RM 16.00)
Kimchi soup quite big size, comes with side kimchi, a few bits of fried ham and a bowl of rice. For the price, the portion is very reasonable that you can share for two person. Taste wise, I can't speak on behalf of everyone but I liked it. Not so heavy red, balance of kimchi sourness and heat, a perfect match when you enjoy it during rainy season.

Cold Noodle (RM 15.00)
Quite big portion, lots of ice and a half hard boil egg. Easy to chew the noodles, not too overpowering mustard, well seasoned of vinegar. 

Gyoza (RM 10.00)
Affordable plate of gyoza! Comes with 10 pieces of gyoza, served with chili sauce at the side. The outer layer taste very different, quite thick and aromatic. It has minced meat filling inside but hopefully the amount of filling can be even more (most likely not, lol).


Summary
One of the most affordable Korean meal in KL area, a hidden gem, secret low-key restaurant with K-drama vibes. The uncle's attitude will depends on your fate. Cash ONLY !

One outlet is never enough to charm the whole nation. So, THE BAR°N has decided to spread the love across the local region, one by one. Hereby, THE BAR°N presents you another brand new outlet that is officially launched on 8th September 2016, in the heart of the bustling exclusive malls, Pavilion KL.

#Just in case many of you don't know about THE BAR°N, THE BAR°N is a restaurant that emphasized on serving from best tapas to mains. Besides, THE BAR°N provides unique experience by serving reputable and delicious wine from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Italy and many more in order to pair up with the food or simply for social drink! If wine isn't your type of beverage, then opt for their extensive alcoholic beverages such as tap beers, liquor and cocktails.

#THE BAR°N first started out in Mont Kiara back on September 2014. With its success along the years, they brought up another outlet situated in Gurney Plaza, this year (2016) May. Pavilion KL is currently the latest outlet, launched on September 2016.


#Conclusion, THE BAR°N @ Pavilion KL is their third outlet, that has 6,000sf in space and possibly noted for having 60ft long, for a bar, in Malaysia.

Its an honor to me to attend their grand opening, to visit and have a look at their brand new outlet, to have a glimpse of their food, experiencing their wines as well as to meet with new bloggers and journalists!

Upon walk-in after guest lists registration, I was ushered to a space and greeted by THE BAR°N's restaurant manager, Ms. Anna. The environment inside the dining space was cosy and inviting warmth for socializing and dining around.


One of THE BAR°N shareholder, took the opportunity to speak up before the party commence.
It was then, all the shareholders and the important people behold to their bottle of wine prior to the grand opening.
Bottomless wine pouring to fulfill the evening event.
Then, I spent the rest of my evening indulging their small plates and tried some of their main dishes. Some of it may look simple however it taste amazingly delicious. Below are the food that we sampled throughout the event.

- THE BAR°N Mini Open-faced Sandwiches -


- Oven-baked Portobello Mushroom with Bacon, Tomato & Cheese -


- Bacon Wrap Sausages -


-Luncheon Fries with Chili Dip-

-Scallops Wrapped in Bacon with Passion Fruit Sauce-


- All-American Wagyu Beef Burger -


- Oven-roasted Baby Back Pork Ribs -


After hours of feasting on their food, I love the All-American Wagyu Beef Burger the most as the charcoal bun itself is indeed fluffy that complements well with the Wagyu patty that is succulent and flavorful. Once again, kudos to other food as well!

I would say, this is by far the most longest cocktail domino in city!
Thanks to THE BAR°N and the event team for the memorable evening.
