Sodam Korean Restaurant at Taman Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru

Sodam Korean Restaurant (N1°29.772' E103°49.028') located at Permas Mall Block A. It's just behind the Taman Permas Jaya Developer office (Just next to Jusco Permas Jaya).

We had our Mother's Day dinner over here. It's my first time dining in this Korean Restaurant. The decoration created the relax ambience among it.

Honestly I'm not good in ordering the Korean foods, so....we just order the set for 6 adults. I'm not sure what it contain in the package, but definitely it's Korean foods! Haha!
Beside that, my wife and her sisters ordered a bottle of Baek Se Ju (Korean Alcohol) to share and just mug of Heniken for me.

Baek Se Ju (MYR35.oo per bottle)

The Banchan (side dish) serve in less than 10 minutes....
Beside Kimchi, I don't know the name of the rest of the side dish.



And follow by the main dish - the Beef and Pork. The waitress was professional enough to BBQ the meat for us.
I was attracted by the BBQ stove design. I think we can't get it in local market, it maybe imported from Korea.


Beside the stove I also like the Korean idea of using the compress smokeless charcoal. It's good for environment.

The small portion of the beef (left), cost MYR59.00. Must be imported.

Well trained waitress was preparing the foods on the stove.

It's just took about 3-5 minutes, the first plate of BBQ Beef serve on table.

That was really delicious!! This was my first time bite on Korean beef, and it's Different from local! It's excellent!

That moment only last us 20 minutes....because the beef left only this...

The last few pieces of the Korean beef

Another good dish was the Steam egg. We ordered Double!

Until all of us almost full, the Big portion of Korean Seafood soup was serve! Oh my goodness!

The soup was good and tasty, but I can't have more....I'm extremely full! Haha! But I'm prefer more strong taste like local soup...

This Korean restaurant provided a good service (including the boss of the restaurant) and environment.

The damage of the dinner : MYR432.00 (For 6 adults and 2 children). It was pricey!

Even I prefer Asian foods with strong taste, I would say this Korean foods was good!

I rated : 4/5

Botak Curry Mee (Noodle) at Kluang

I had been heard about this BOTAK Curry Mee (N2°01.736' E103°19.263') almost ten years ago, and I even miss it since my last visit to Kluang. So I definitely wanna try it this time!

The stall located at Jalan Panggung of Kluang Town. It's actually a very old hawker center along the road. It's navigated by the GPS Malfreemaps and easily found.

It's located at the right side of the road.

The signage also Big enough to being notice. Haha!

The signage

It's almost 3pm when I was there....and there's only one table is occupied. So I quickly place my order and wait....
The noodle serve in about 5 minutes, and I say....it's delicious!

Overall it's good!
The taste was different from the Laksa (Which is similar with curry noodle) at Johor Bahru. The coconut (Lemak in Malay) cream is lesser than the curry flavor. The Laksa selling at Johor Bahru mostly are same level or the coconut cream taste is more than the curry flavor...

The cost of the bowl of Curry Mee : MYR4.00 (reasonable)

I rated : 3.5/5

* There is another Botak Curry Mee at Kampung Paya, Kluang still yet to find out...
