Dong Dong Korean BBQ @ Karpal Singh Drive, Georgetown, Penang.

Dong Dong Korean BBQ is a new addition to Karpal Singh Drive, and they seem to specialize in aged pork meat, which gives their BBQ offerings a richer flavour and tender texture. Aside from the BBQ, their menu is generous — you’ll find Korean favourites like Bibimbap, Japchae, Tteokbokki, Kimbap, and Fried Chicken. When I visited, the food quality was good overall, with the meats well marinated and the sides satisfying. The prices are reasonable too, considering the portions. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit lacklustre — probably first-day jitters. With some improvements in that area, this spot has strong potential among Korean food lovers in the area. 

Honey Garlic Fried Chicken (Rm 30)

Tteokbokki (Rm 29)

Kimbap (Rm 18)

Value Set- Dwaeji Galbi/ Pork Belly/ Spicy Chicken/ Homemade Sausages (Rm 168)

Value Set- Kimchi Soup

The Value Set fits for 3-5 pax and has a good mix of Chicken and Pork BBQ, with a couple of White Rice and a serving of Kimchi Soup. The meats were alright, the dips too were fine. The restaurant ran out of Lettuce on our visit, so we could not ask for second helping of the Lettuce. The Kimchi Soup was good, it has a good balanced acidity and it was served to us piping hot. We also enjoyed their Korean Fried Chicken, the meat was tender and the outer layer was crisp. The Garlic factor was not as bold as we would have hoped though. None of the food disappoint, if only they could improve on the services... this place is definitely worth the visit.
