HAN (韩) Korea BBQ Restaurant at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru.

HAN Korea BBQ Restaurant (韩) (N1.53038 E103.79330) is located along Jalan Molek 2/2 of Taman Molek, Johor Bahru, which is just next to Standard Chartered Bank Taman Molek Branch. We had a bad experienced with the other outlet at Jalan Molek 1/28 (behind OCBC Bank Taman Molek) which was smoky and stuffy on our visit months ago, so we decided to give a try in this outlet on one of the evening...

HAN Korea BBQ Restaurant, Taman Molek

Heard from friends that this outlet was took over from another restaurant not too long ago, and the design also different from the traditional Korea restaurant...no tatami.

It was quiet and not many customers on that evening, therefore it was nice and cooling...for me, the environment is better and spacious than the other outlet which I mentioned above...

As usual, we ordered the one of the set in the menu for 2-3 person, the set include marinated Pork (五花肉), chicken, beef and a choice of soy bean or kimchi soup. We took the kimchi soup...

There were 15 different types of refillable side dishes (banchan) as appetizers served on table before the main dishes serve where you experience in all Korean restaurant...

Every table has the flexible vaccum to avoid smoky condition, common in all Korean restaurant. The waiter patiently barbeque the meats till perfection...under the smokeless environment. Great!

After all done, the Kimchi soup presented on our table...served with a steam egg...

Korean Kimchi soup...

The pork, chicken and beef were tasteful! All were well marinated and tender! The chewy moment of the pork was unforgotten.
There were vermicellis, korean rice cakes and others in the Kimchi soup, and it was slightly 'special' compare with others, not very sour...we like the soup very much! I don't really like too sour and spicy Kimchi soup, that it kill the original taste of it (personal preference).
The texture of the steam eggs was nice, just melted in our mouth...
Delicious!

The Damage : RM118.00 for 2 adults and 1 kid included a jug of Korean tea.
The quantity of the foods enough to serve at least 3 adults, so we were overloaded again! We will be back and of course with more friends...:)

A small fishing village at Johor - Kong Kong

Out of the curiosity, we drove to the Kong Kong Fishing Village (N1.51836 E103.99752) for nothing on one of the cloudy Saturday afternoon...

I found one of the special of this small village is the road direct us until 'The End'!...Well, it stop next to Johor River...

The end of the road at Kong Kong, Johor.

Peaceful!
Was the first impression of the village, I felt...
So we strolled around the very small jetty and also the surrounding...accompany with nice cool breeze from the Johor River...where the Johor civilaization began...

One 0f the 'Kelong' floating on Johor River...

We found a simple and Classic kopitiam situated along the river, without the second thought...we ordered our coffee and continue enjoy the scenic view of the village.
Kind of strange, I like this area very much! No doubt it's a nice photography area, but I didn't bring my digital camera, just wanted a simple visit of it...

Kedai Kopi Kim Lee - A 70s kopitiam...

The kopitiam was not crowded during our visit, the calm atmosphere really made us enjoy the nice aroma coffee on our table.

The washroom of the coffee shop is another unique to me...it has the 60s design where I only saw it at my grandfather house those days many years ago. It's really brought back my childhood memory when I discovered this!
That was the reason I had a second cups of coffee again in the shop...

The traditional design of the washroom during the 60s...

The well next to the toilet...

Have you experience this type of toilet before?!

Beside that, I found a clinic, school, mosque and the famous Tai Son Seafood Restaurant in the village. Still many more to explore...this was the second fishing village I like in Johor state, the first one was Kampung Pendas nearby the Second Link.

I promise myself that I will definitely have another visit to this village and make sure I bring my digital camera!

It's a nice place to calm down and relax when you have a continuous hectic days of city life!
