Dubu Dubu Midvalley Review

Heard good things about Dubu Dubu korean restaurant. Everytime we went there for lunch it would always be full. So this time we had an early lunch so we could secure a seat.

Place was quite empty at 11am
I had a hot barley tea which tasted like brown rice tea. Imagine soaking brown rice in water for a while and drinking that. This was refillable.

Wife had the citrus tea which had a sweet and sour flavour. The bottom looks like citrus skin which was mostly sweet and mildly bitter (in a good sense). This was nice, I should have ordered this.

The Toboki was not very good, it tastes much better at Food Garden, a food court located at The Gardens mall. Found the rice cakes were too soft till a mushy like texture but yet very chewy. The sauce was nothing to shout about, spicy, sweet and watery.

Can't say much about the side dishes they gave, pickled vege, kimchi, bean sprouts, kosong soup. Not worth the extra ringgit for the set. However, I quite liked the Dolsot Bibimbap. The presentation wasn't really that appealing, the colors were dull but after mixing it all up, it tasted quite good. Probably the best bibimbap i've ever had (I've only had bibimbap at maybe 3 other places).

Bulgogi was extremely generous with onions, not sure if bulgogi is suppose to be that way. Anyway, the beef was not carmalised enough, we are normally use to beef being browned so they have a slight crispyness to it.

Won't be returning too soon, maybe just to try the Korean spicy wings set which is quite raved about at goodyfoodies. I would rather head to my favourite korean place at Amcorp Mall.
