Gui Gui Korean BBQ, Kwai Chai Hong

Just before MCO 2.0 started, we managed to fit in a Korean BBQ feast at Gui Gui Korean BBQ. Located in Kwai Chai Hong in Petaling Street is this hidden gem, which has been only been open since September last year. 

What's to love here? The meats are expertly grilled by their staff, over charcoal embers for that wonderful, smoky flavour. With your meal, you can enjoy 4 types of complimentary ban chan (side dishes). Prices are very affordable and on par with other Korean restaurants too, although it is located bang in the centre of KL.

We always order an assortment of pork cuts when we have Korean BBQ. Here, you can choose from pork belly, pork shoulder, pork neck, pork bacon, grilled cartilage, Daegu bulgogi or pork ribs. I was happy to see my favourite Hanjungsal (pork neck) (RM28.80 for 150g) - the marbling was good and melt-in-the-mouth. The staff cooked it so well, it had a lovely crispy exterior too.

We also had the Samgyeopsal (pork belly) (RM25.80 for 180g) and Jjok Galbi (Pork Rib Soy) (RM26.80 for 250g) - it was finger licking good! 

We also had a portion of beef - the Marbled Ribeye (RM74.80 for 200g) - which was nicely cooked to medium doneness and was extra buttery cos they place a slab of butter on the beef while they cook.

Fans of Korean fried chicken must give their version a go - crispy deep fried chicken in an addictive sweet and spicy sticky sauce and roasted peanuts, sesame seed and spring onion. Very generous portion as well!

Dakgangjeong (RM32.80)

Pajeon - Korean pancake with spring onions (RM24.80)

Steam egg

They also offer set menus here, starting from RM74.80

Set lunch from RM18.90

Instagram This #5: Kwai Chai Hong 鬼仔巷, Chinatown, KL

Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown has recently undergone a revival, much to the delight of KL-ites. The rebirth of Kwai Chai Hong 鬼仔巷 in the heart of Chinatown gives us a glimpse of Chinatown in its heyday, with interactive murals taking the spotlight here.

Open daily from 9am to 12am daily, Kwai Chai Hong 鬼仔巷 takes visitors on a journey back in time to the 1960s golden era of KL Chinatown.  The charming alley is dotted with murals on the walls and lovingly-restored pre-war buildings, along with QR codes which you can scan to learn more about the area and its history. 

Some of the murals found here depict the daily activities of early Chinese settlers in the area during the 1960s.

The largest piece of mural here is the one above the stairs - barbers carrying out their business in open air, businesses which use baskets and pulleys to deliver goods from the first floor down to customers etc.

Here at Kwai Chai Hong 鬼仔巷, you will also find Kuala Lumpur's oldest lamp post  – which dates back to the early 1900s when electricity first arrived in the city.

Kwai Chai Hong 鬼仔巷 is a 2-min walk away from MRT Pasar Seni (Exit A), located on Lorong Panggung. Entrance to Kwai Chai Hong is free. There are also many restaurants and bars to be explored in this area such as Concubine KL, Quan's Kitchen, Wildflowers KL, Chocha Foodstore, Poh's Tau Fu Fah, Hawker Chan and more.

Joy Lok Club: Sunday Brunch at Four Points KL Chinatown

There's a new Sunday Brunch in town: Joy Lok Club, a lok-lok themed brunch at Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown. This fun Sunday brunch, which made its debut last weekend, will be held every Sunday from 12pm to 3pm at Quan's Kitchen, the hotel's all day dining restaurant, and will feature traditional Chinatown favourites as well as Western specialties.

The highlight of this brunch is the interactive Joy Lok Club station, which allows diners to experience the well-loved street food, lok lok, usually available in trucks parked in the streets of Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia. Select your favourite skewers, from prawns to squid, fishballs, sausages, yong tau foo, mushrooms and vegetables, hand it over to one of the chefs, who will cook them in boiling water and then serve with your choice of broth (choose from curry broth, gulai lemak broth and peanut sauce).

There will also be other Malaysian favourites such as Portugis ikan bakar, Wok fried Hokkien mee, Chicken and duck rice, Sotong kangkung, Assorted dim sum, Satay and Laksa. There is also chicken bak kwa to be found amongst the cold cuts as well as Malaysian's favourite kopitiam breakfast; kaya toast and half boiled eggs.

From the Western line-up, we highly recommend the Roasted leg of lamb - absolutely tender and succulent. You can also find Braised Boeuf de Bourguignon and a lovely cheese selection.

For dessert, indulge in the Choco Lok station, where you can dip skewers of marshmallows, fresh fruits and more in the chocolate fountain. There is also a range of local kuihs, cakes, fresh fruits and ice cream to satisfy your sweet tooth.
