Chung Gong, Ampang

I'm a big fan of korean food. Kimchi, bibimbap, jjangmyeon and whatever jigae =9. You name it I eat it. haha..XD

It's like a must for korean food lover to try out the korean cuisine in Ampang Korean Vilage because it's the most authentic taste that you can get in Malaysia. So this time I try Chung Gong. I have read out some of the reviews and blogs before going of course and I found a lot of LIKES for this restaurant.

First, I have to be honestly telling, this restaurant doesn't seem to be too clean. It has that cockroaches or some kind of weird smell that you can smell it when you climbing up the stairs. So I thought it's a No-No for this restaurant. I still decided to give it a try because I'm really craving for nice jjangmyeon during that time.

The shop wasn't crowded at all when I entered but the sweet greet from the lady boss is defintely a yes to me. Anyway, I sat down and started looking at the menu. They don't service bibimbap or kimchi jigae here because they are chinese korean food restaurant. So do expect something like jjampong, tang su yuk and jjangbap.

So we ordered some signature dishes where you can see in korean drama.

Jjampong

 I saw the korean aunty sitting beside the counter eating jjampong and it defintely looks attractive with the red soup. =9 I like spicyyyyyyyyy. So I ordered this. It's like... seafood spicy pan mee. hahah..XD but I like the noodles. Just nice, Al dente =) The soup is actually not so... my taste. But you can always add vinegar and chili powder into the soup.

Jjangmyeon

 The jjangmyeon is niceeee. I really like the black bean paste. The best I have ever tried. You can finish the last drop of sauce with the yellow pickled radish. Just like what the korean did in the drama.

Szechuan jjangmyeon

 This is the spicy version of the jjgangmyeon but without any black bean paste. If you like spicy and you don't like the original jjgangmyeon, give this a try.

Tang Su Yuk

Never miss this tang su yuk!!!! The batter is crispy but the meat is still tender inside. Going with the sauce, heaven. Really nice. NO LIES. Eat together with the cucumber and red cabbage in the dipping sauce, the cucumber is like a pickle actually. By the way, when i say dipping sauce, I don't mean dipping the meat in the sauce, I mean throw the whole fried meat in the sauce roll and roll the meat until it's fully covered with sauce. Finger licking good.



Fried Mandu

Last but not least, fried mandu. This is really cheap. It's like RM15 per plate. With that size, no complain but only like =) The filling is nice also. The waiter will prepare the dipping sauce for you on the spot by mixing vinegar with chili powder. Eat with the sauce or just the mandu. It's nice in both ways.

 

Conclusion is the food is worthy the price and taste real nice but the restaurant hygience really need a little improvement.

 

Food: 4/5

Environment: 2.5/5 ( This is due to the smell)

Price: 4/5

Overall: 3.5/5

 

Worthy trying if you're ok with the smell i mentioned. =)
