Bulgogi Brothers (Korean BBQ) @ Paradigm Mall, Malaysia

Bulgogi Brothers is now open in Malaysia..

Bulgogi Brothers is a Korean casual dining restaurant in Korea known for its signature traditional Korean dish, Bulgogi or "fire meat". The first Bulgogi Brothers restaurant opened in Gang-Nam, south of Seoul in 2006. Now, the restaurant has over 35 outlets in South Korea, including one in Canada and 3 in Phillipines. In April 2012, Bulgogi Brothers was awarded by the prestigious National Brands Award for Best Korean Restaurant.

Bulgogi Brothers is a regular haunt among Korean celebrities and is known for its authentic Korean cuisine prepared by renowned Executive Chef Changbu Jeong . Among Chef Jeong's signature dishes are Hobak Juk (pumpkin soup), Sogogi Naengchae (cold salad with barbeque beef), Seoulsik Bulgogi (beef Bulgogi dish with vegetables), various Korean desserts and Bulgogi's signature drinks - the Black Raspberry Ade and Plum Ade.



Now, Malaysians too can get a taste of Bulgogi Brothers as they are set to open their doors to the public at 6pm on 11th August 2012! Their first outlet is at Paradigm Mall in Kelana Jaya. There will be other outlets opening at Pavilion KL (29 August), e@Curve (Sept) and MidValley Megamall (Nov).




Located right next to TGI. Fridays




Contemporary decor


Bokbunjajoo (RM58.50) - sweet red wine made from Korean black raspberries



1.6 million tonnes of kimchi consumed every year in Korea (approx. weight of 5 Petronas Towers)..



We were invited to a sneak preview of its menu yesterday at Paradigm Mall. However, please note that we did not try all the dishes shown in this blogpost as there was not enough food to go around. I will only comment on the dishes that I have tried.

Complimentary oksusu cha (corn tea)



Complimentary ban chan 


Korean kimchi


Complimentary corn, sugar snap peas and sweet potato - I think the corn has been boiled in vinegar water.


Haemul Doenjang Jjigae (RM26.90) - slow cooked doenjang broth or soybean stew with shrimps, soft shell crab and vegetables - didn't try so no comment



It does look very good though

After photos, it was taken to the kitchen to cook and then served


Janchi guksu (RM17.90) - known as "party noodles" in Korean as it is usually eaten during special occasions such as wedding and birthdays, served with seafood broth and garnished with lots of vegetables - I liked this.


Bulgogi bibimbap (RM29.90) - combination of beef and vegetables, served on top of rice and special spicy sauce. The spicy sauce is served separately so you can decide how spicy you want it to be. This was very good, the portion I got had the crispy bits from the bottom of the bowl so it was nice and crunchy. Beef is very flavorful.





Never burp alone..

Bulgogi Brothers Special (RM81.90 for 400g, RM121.90 for 600g) - the beef used here is Australian beef. This platter is a combination of Unyang and Gwangyang-style bulgogi. The Unyang-sik bulgogi is a considered royal cuisine and made in heart-shape, said to be very popular with couples in Korea. The Gwangyang-sik bulgogi is thinly sliced seasoned beef served with leeks, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and onions. These will be grilled tableside by the server as each table is equipped with a customized induction cooker. I managed to try a little of both, and preferred the Gwangyang-sik bulgogi, however I guess if I was going on a date with Hubby, the heart-shaped one would be pretty sweet ;P

Sizzle, sizzle




Yukhoe (RM45.90) - julienned raw beef marinated in a mixture of chillies, served with fresh pears and cucumber - no comment cos didn't try :(


Seoulsik Bulgogi (RM52.90) - beef marinated in their special bulgogi sauce made with apple and pear, served with glass noodles, enoki mushrooms, leeks and onions - this was my favorite dish, very nicely marinated and also possibly cos it was still hot when served to us.




Haemul pajeon (RM27.90) - Korean style pancake with seafood and green onions - didn't try so no comment



Soji-to (RM14.90) - the popular Mojito is given a Korean twist, made with soju instead of rum - didn't try so no comment.



Makguli cocktail (RM27.90) - sweet and milky makguli (rice wine) mixed with strawberry or pineapple liqeur - didn't try so no comment.


Full menu can be viewed on my Facebook page here, as well as full set of photos.

Opening times: 11am to 11pm.

Pork-free.

Location: Bulgogi Brothers, GB13 & 13A, Ground Floor, Paradigm Mall, 1, Jalan Kelana SS7/26A, Kelana Jaya, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

    1. From the descriptions I read online, I think it's served hot. But it was cold when we ate it cos we were taking photos of it. Nevertheless, it was still yummy.

    1. Hehe what to do... never mind, I look forward to the opening of their Pavilion outlet, since it will be more convenient for me. Paradigm Mall is a bit far for me, took me more than 40 mins to get there.

    1. I think they're planning to open quite a few outlets around KL... I think they'll do well since Korean food in general is quite expensive and theirs seem reasonably priced and tastes authentic.

  13. You have to give a tube radio at least 20 to 30 minutes just
    to warm up and then you decide what frequency you want to
    be on and load the plate and tune them up. Hardware mechanisms used in the manufacturing of
    a Wi - Fi internet radio system is less complicated and the point of ergonomics is kept in mind by the manufactures.
    These channels offer a variety of genres for the user.

  14. Meet Ira – Our Wi fi Internet radio adapter that connects automatically
    to any wireless Internet network. In my case I listen to all music that is submitted
    to me before I include it on my playlist. Some radio stations have also started making use
    of streaming MP3 format, which could be played through Winamp.

  15. Let's think of words that sound dirty but really aren't.
    While having a passion for playing games is important, getting a rewarding
    career in game design will require students to be a cut above the competition.

    It's fast to build and play and will challenge your memory.

  16. How often have you bought headsets but discarded them after some time,
    once they didn. I haven't really owned the mouse long enough to test the battery life, but Logitech claims it can run for up to two years on a single pair of batteries, and several other reviews I've found online attest to that fact.

  17. When you open it, music starts playing, and you do
    not have to do anything else but adjust the volume and close it when you want it
    to be done. Remember that most dorm room radio stations out there may or may not be online from time to
    time and that cannot be blamed on the app, however this
    does hinder the experience of Internet radio on the i - Phone.
    The viewing angle is extra wide, making it easier for you to read or even allow others to read with you.

  18. I understand that those are the products designed by manufacturers to make
    them money and if they are endorsed by winning popular professionals, sales will be high.

    Imagine never having to worry about what to
    wear to work, and even the infuriating traffic jams that never
    seem to end. Harry Potter Hogwarts is one more entry into

  19. Whilst you could get a partner or close friend to give your shoulders, back or feet a
    good rub down, to truly feel long-term benefits you
    should enlist the services of a trained professional to give you regular massages.
    As we ate, not only did our waitress check back with us to see if we required anything further, but the manager stopped by as well.

  20. In most cases they are, but when it comes to updates, patches,
    etc to the mmorpgs. Port forwarding lets you specify which ports the game
    needs to perform at it's best. Next Jim Deacove developed a few of his own board games based on the principles of cooperation, group strategy and joint problem solving.

  21. In addition to this, now you can listen to the radios online, which is already getting to
    be pretty popular. Another consideration when choosing your software is whether you will be connecting to a single stream or multiple streams.

  22. It does appear, however, that hypnosis can help a person achieve his or her weight loss goals.

  23. The internet is fueling the success of music because it can be
    listened to at any time of the day and anywhere in the

  25. Too many folks have already thrown away plenty
    of good money on nothing but useless salt tablets being
    shipped from South America. In fact, I always suggest to those overweight vegetarians to keep to a
    max of 4 pounds a week so you won't suffer loose skin post weight loss. Do not be tempted to lose weight as quickly as you can, because a crash diet will have you eating less than a thousand calories a day slowing down your metabolism.

  27. Once the game is 80% complete you will need to work on the sound. A bowler who can consistently pick up his spares can easily hold a 180 average without getting any strikes. It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel good and works well with their gaming pattern.
