Apple Samgyupsal, The Square at Jaya One

Apple Samgyupsal elevates Korean BBQ to the next level, by pairing high-quality pork with apples. The natural flavours of the pork is enhanced, by marinating it with apple sauce for 24 hours and then it is smoked with apple wood chips. The pork is then grilled over hot charcoal embers, for juicy, flavorful meat. You can also wrap the grilled pork in the apple wrap, for the perfect bite.

Recently, Apple Samgyupsal opened their third and largest outlet in The Square at Jaya One. Located on Ground Level, the outlet is spacious and includes a self-service ramen* and banchan bar, where customers can help themselves to unlimited servings (* for certain packages).

Four types of ban chan (kimchi, fish cake, seaweed, pickled cabbage) as well as their signature apple salad - all refillable.

The perfect accompaniment to your Korean BBQ meal - the apple makgeolli (RM28). 

We went for The Apple King package (RM258), which is recommended for 4-6 pax and comes with 2 x Wang Galbi, 200g apple samgyupsal (pork belly), 200g apple moksal (pork shoulder), 200g apple hanjungsal (pork neck), 2 plates of apple wraps, homemade sauce, tteok and unlimited ramyun. They do offer regular pork but we highly recommend the special apple signatures as the marination definitely enhances the flavour of the meat. We were impressed by the high-quality cuts that they use and the server did an excellent job cooking the meat too. We especially loved the pork neck (with the lovely melt-in-the-mouth flavour) and the Wang Galbi (ribs in a lovely, sweet marinade).

Since our group was quite large, we also added on the Apple Platter (RM88) which comes with 120g apple samgyupsal (pork belly), 120g apple moksal (pork shoulder), 120g apple hanjungsal (pork neck), 1 plate apple wraps, tteok, homemade sausage and apple salad. The server taught us how to best enjoy the apple wraps; first placing the apple salad onto the apple slices, then dipping the pork in sesame, apple honey and ssamjang sauce. Delicious!

Do also try their Joomuk Bap (RM25), also known as fist rice. The rice is mixed together with the minced pork and seaweed and shaped into balls, so yummy Baby D helped himself to a few. :)

Unlimited ramyun with The Apple King set - you can choose from either mild or spicy ramen.

Chez Gaston, KL: Authentic French Bistro

Tucked away on one of the quieter streets in Bangsar is Chez Gaston, a restaurant serving traditional French cuisine. The kitchen, headed by Chef Florian Nigen produces unpretentious, hearty food which is also very reasonably priced. The restaurant setting is pretty casual during the day, and come night, it is transformed into a slightly more formal setting via the addition of white tablecloths.

We started off our meal with the Salade de crottin de chevre (RM24), a tossed salad with vinaigrette, pork bacon bits and baked matured goat cheese on baguette, topped with honey and black pepper. Tasty and well put together.

Ah, how I love cold cuts. The Plateau de charcuterie (RM41) was right up my alley, with Parma ham, saucisson, two slices of pate/terrine, air-fried duck breast, gherkins and onion jam. The chef selected the deer terrine and pork rilette, which was delicious eaten with the homemade French baguette and onion jam.

For mains, we had the Filet de lieu au beurre blanc (RM39), steamed pollock fillet with beurre blanc sauce and served with basmati and black sweet onion rice. A relatively healthy and light dish. For something a little richer, go for the classic Boeuf Bourguignon (RM48), soft Australian beef cheeks cooked for 8 hours in a thick red wine sauce. The beef cheeks was wonderfully gelatinous, tender and absolutely melts in your mouth. The mains are served with a side dish each, which differs everyday for variety.

Refreshing Virgin Apple Mojito

For a sweet end to your meal, try the traditional French vanilla creme brulee (RM12) or the rather interesting Ile flottante (RM11) which we don't see in KL a lot, a soft meringue floating island on an egg and vanilla custard.

Opening times: Lunch 12pm - 2.30pm; Dinner 6pm - 10.30pm.


Location: Chez Gaston, 12, Jalan Bangsar Utama 9, Bangsar, 59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Street parking available).
