Of Burger and Korea Town

How many of you like/dislike our very own local burger -- Ramly burger?

According to the researches done in US, the raw burger patties (McDonalds etc) has high coliform (a type of bacteria family) count. But from my research and similar chemical test done (my project for Food and Industrial Microbiology) on our very own local burger patty (Ramly) production, it contains NO coliform count eventhough we repeated our experiment. Hence concluding that our burger patty is quite clean. Yes, it's clean compared to McDs'.

Gosh, how could that happen?

Anyway, personally... I DON'T REALLY LIKE Ramly burgers, anywhere. I find their bread too dry, and the patties are hard. Except for this particular stall.


Ramly burger stall

It's just directly outside the old Monash campus, the current Sunway University College campus. It somehow tastes and smells VERY nice. Students like Sue-Li and myself were much attracted to it in our second year.


Beef special burger.

There's just something about the burgers in this stall that other Ramly burger stalls do not have. It's just.. good!



And it's only like RM 2.50 for patties wrapped with eggs? If you don't want the egg, each chicken/beef burger costs only RM 2.

Cleanliness wise, they are way CLEANER (Coliform-free) compared to the western burger patties.
Economy wise, they are way CHEAPER than those western burger patties.

So, support la Malaysia.. =)

No jokes la, only this stall. Don't come and scold me if you taste a not-so-nice one from other stalls; I only recommend THIS particular stall okay.

Moving on, if you study abroad in other western countries etc, you will see "China Town" in most countries; a place for the chinese that craves for their pork supply, the chinese cuisines, the bah kut teh?

Oh well in Malaysia, we have everything. All sort of mouth-watering local cuisines. Anyway, Ah Sian brought us to this place in Ampang where for the first time I see a "Korea Town".

Practically, it's ALL Korean Restaurants in the ENTIRE street. This is one of them..


Korea Mu Jin Jang Restaurant.

We ate here. The food is not bad, and I dare not rate as I haven't tried other Korean restaurants.


The seatings. Note the bbq "pit" in the middle of the seatings.

We had BBQ as one particular dish. Marinated pork.


BBQ pork. *Thumbs up*

It's like those, on-the-spot-bbq thingy, and I like it much. Would say that this is the best dish there.



I know I've said it, but I want to say it again. I LIKE IT. Wait, the sentence isn't complete. I mean, I LIKE IT VERY MUCH.


Kimchi soup

I don't fancy kimchi. I don't really like their taste, especially when it's cold. I know it's so bodoh to don't like kimchi in a korean restaurant. Yeah, but this soup is exceptional. I like the taste. And its sizzling hot (and spicy). I like it! There are cabbages, other vegetables and sliced pork in it.


A scoop of the kimchi soup with my spoon.

Do I remind you of the soup prepared by Jang Geum in korean series, Jewel In The Palace?
Or the soup prepared by Ji-Eun for Young-Jae (Rain) in Full House? Awww~


Chap Je

This is somewhat similar to kimchi, but it's not cabbage. Mixed vegetables, there is actually a whole hard-boiled-egg in it too. My friends like them, but I don't really like the taste. Maybe its just.. me.


Dok Bok Gi

This is some sort of glass noodles with sliced pork, shredded omelets and vegetables on it. I like this too. The taste is somehow, different. Slightly oily, but I like the seasoning taste. Maybe because of some sesame oil seasoning. Unsure though.


The VERY thin and flat chopstick.

Okay, you got it. I had a GREAT problem handling it and this slows down my eating process.


The side dishes. They are FOC (i.e. free of charge)

Overall, the food is not bad. The portion is quite big and if you go in a big group, can try out a wider variety of food. It costs around RM20 per person.



Anyway, this is the name card.

Print this out, flash this card to them when you're there and say you're Mun K's friend, you'll be discounted.

Okay, I'm just kidding! Btw, did you notice the owner's surname is also "Lee"? I somehow much attracted to the "Lee(s)", I don't know why, be it in uni or church or just, anywhere. All my Lee friends. Haha! Somehow.

Anyway, if you want to get there, geographically, it's just opposite of Ampang Point.
Alright, the address is on the name card, give it a try!

Korean Mart.

There's this korean mart at the end of all these korean restaurants, the entire stretch! And they sell ONLY korean stuffs, with korean writing on every product and I don't what is it. Everything imported from Korea. Korea groceries. Not all, but most goods are quite pricey, double of those we can get in Malaysia.



These are some of the junks sweets I bought from there. Can't afford anymore, only these. The purple colour thingy, I don't even know if it's a chewy sweets or a chewy gum. Have no ideas, can you read Korean Language?

Note: The red-coloured packet is given by Ah Sian, I bought only the purple and blue.

So folks, if you need some supply of korean noodles (a few brands), korean drinks, korean ice-creams, korean sweets or korean-whatsoever; you can get it there.

That's all for this time round of trip to Korea. Be blessed.

Till then, signing OFF.
