Kimchiharu - Contemporary Korean Cuisine

Venue: Jaya One, PJ
Overall comment: Decent variety of contemporary Korean dishes at affordable prices
Halal: No

This restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember (perhaps since Jaya One has been around?). I've had thoughts of trying it, but have never done so 'til last Sunday with 2 church friends. Interesting place. Little did I realize that this outlet has also 2 other branches in Puchong Jaya & Subang Jaya SS15! (I'm so ignorant...sigh)

CC liked this place & recommended it out of the many food outlets, here at Jaya One, as KimchiHaru serves relatively generous portions at affordable prices. Taste of food is acceptable as well :)

The restaurant features a homey, quaint cafe-style restaurant. The color schemes somehow reminded me of Secret Recipe...hahaha....it serves Korean food with a contemporary touch e.g. having cheese in their dishes! I know it sounds VERY strange...I've yet to try those as my friends didn't wanna share a plate of "Carbonara Dokbokgi"! It doesn't sound very appetizing to begin with, but I think it should be acceptable, lest they would have taken it off their menu ;)

We had their set lunches, which ranges from RM17.80++ - RM23.00++, I think. Most of the sets have rice, so if you're a noodle fan, you'll have to go ala carte.

I had their Bibimbap set, which came with a glass of Iced Peach/Lemon Tea, side dishes, & some salads+ kimchi for RM17.80++. As I'm not a "rice tong"/"fann tong" in Cantonese (one who loves rice & must have rice in every other meal), I felt that there's just too much rice in the hot stone bowl. I got really full in the end. The only thing that I would much prefer is that the fried egg has semi cooked yolk instead of a fully cooked one. The taste on the overall isn't too bad, but could have more "umph". Something's lacking....

I won't mind popping by again to try out their other dishes. Perhaps some day soon...or in their other branches :) Ahh...I miss Korea...it's been 6 years since I first & last stepped foot in Korea :( I wanna go there again....
