Chicken Soup Master — Restaurant in Subang Jaya

With the insanely hot weather in Malaysia, anytime is a good idea to get rejuvenating food. As we were walking through Sunway Geo, we saw the name of the shop and felt that one got to be confident in what they serve to call themselves a master and so, we walked in 😂

𝟏. 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬 A wholesome dish with chicken soup made purely by boiling, chicken in water and herbal medicine with salt seasoning. When it first came, we thought that we were going to have trouble finishing it but surprisingly, we finished it up easily between the both of us. Unlike other restaurants where the chicken is usually boiled until it tastes bland, the chicken here remains soft, tender and tasty.

For those who like samgyetang but not the taste of herbs, this soup is for you! Personally, both my friend and I prefer a stronger taste of medicinal herbs hence we found it a little 🥺 though it taste good overall.

An interesting note at this restaurant was the option of adding the glutinous rice into the soup separately which is great as boiling glutinous rice for a long period of time makes the soup thicker which might make some people feel easier to get sick of the food (jelat).

This place is owned and managed by Koreans (authentic Korean dishes).

The neungi-gye-tang chicken soup was deep in flavor and left no thirsty after taste. If you're feeling under the weather or just want a chicken broth that makes you feel refreshed and healthier, this is a very good option.

Their jjim dak (soy sauce braised chicken) is a huge portion (could serve 3-4 pax) per serving. Flavor is very deep and rich too. Very suitable to eat with rice and kimchi. You'd find an abundance of glass noodles, potatoes, and carrots as their accompaniment.

Banchan (side dishes): like most korean restaurants, it's refillable and they provide 3 side dishes for each pax. Their kimchi is pretty good.

Their kimchi pancake could be crispier. But it's size is pretty big too (can serve 4 pax per pancake).

Overall, good place to eat for authentic Korean chicken broth and braised dishes. Better than some places in mont kiara too.

Cons: some of their braised chicken dishes do not come with rice. You need to order them ala carte. Their price is not cheap but it's understandable once you see the portion size and when you taste how deep their broth is without artificial seasoning aftermath - indicating they have boiled the broth for...

Foods taste decent. The only downside was the language barrier, the waitress, the Korean lady at the counter, non of them can speak English, not even basic. You gotta learn more than just "Welcome" & "Thank You" this is not enough, the fact that you're running business in different country, least you can do is to improve your English, so that the communication can be better.

Menu wise, i don't get it as to how can some of your menu are unavailable? Given how little amount of food you are serving there. And also, please do improve your menu by adding on more "add on" order, such as rice, and other side dishes as well. Since the one that comes along with the set are so little in portion. I was struggling to ask if i can order/buy additional rice, and non of them seems to understand what i'm asking for. Not the lady at the counter, not the waitress, nobody. You can only point at the menu when you want to order.

I believe by improving all of the things mentioned above could improve your business even better. Especially the...
