Have A KimChi Good Time at Sil Ro Am

Recently, I have developed a taste for Korean foods, especially their lip-smacking Yuk Gae Jang (spicy beef and vegetable soup). So, I was really keen to try out this Korean restaurant that has opened up in my own hometown. The restaurant is called Sil Ro Am, and it is located in the Era Square hotspot, which is fats becoming a food haven for the locals. I had my lunch there one Saturday with my friend, Kaarol, who have never tried Korean foods before (gasp!).

Now, the place is actually run by a Korean family, so you can rest assured that the foods they served here are truly authentic Korean dishes. The moment you step into the restaurant, it does feels like being transported to Seoul...Heck, even the two TVs in there are constantly broadcasting Korean dramas and movies!

They have a rather simplifed menu though...You get to choose any of he pre-set lunch box deals, priced from RM 10 each, or noodle/ramen sets, with prices ranging from RM 10 to RM 15. There are no beverage menu, because they serve cold tea to everyone. BUT - if you're a fan of Korean liquors, there's a whole fridge in the place that is stacked with all sorts of beers and other alcoholic juices. So, yay!

I ordered their Chicken Lunch set, priced at RM 10....

The lunch set is a pure delight...The kimchi tastes really good...and the chicken is deeelicious!! Loving it! The veggies are great too...

Meanwhile, Kaarol ordered their noodle set, also priced at RM 10...

The noodles are really nice, especially the soup....it's a bit spicy and less oily. A truly Korean dish.

I am really happy with this place so far. It has a homely feel to it, and the foods are great. Perfect setting for a family dinner or with a group of close friends.....Definitely recommended.

Organically good!

Once in a while, it's good to just sit down and chow down some healthy foods. You know, foods that won't add to your caloric counter,  heart attack risk, make you obese or just give you some bad gas afterwards. In a world where McDonald's and KFC outlets are practically everywhere you look, it can be really tough to make that conscious decision to turn away and say "No, I'm not going to abuse my body by going into these places, and I don't care how good their fries taste or how delicious their fried chicken are!"

Well, there are places like WOODS Bio Marche where you can eat with a peace of mind, knowing that the stuff you put inside your mouth will be good for your body. This neat looking cafe is located at Wisma Bukit Bintang, KL, right smack in the golden triangle area.

The place is clean, pleasant and nicely-decorated. The moment you step into the restaurant, you can actually smell it...the air is somewhat differenthere ...they just feels cleaner here...or is it just me? :)

Anyway, a glimpse through their menu showed that they have quite a variety of foods here..They have organic noodles, organic grains, organic soups, organic appetizers as well as set lunches that differ from day to day. Not only that, in front of the cashier counter is a refrigerated section where you can buy fresh organic vegetables to cook on your own at home. How cool is that???
You want more? Ok,  they also have organic tea, organic coffee, organic unsweetened soy as well as organic ice blended enzymatic fruit juices. Everything here is purely organic, and therefore good for your body!


The set lunch I picked is called the Hikari Set, priced at RM 13.50.

The brown rice taste surprisingly good...and the veggies also tasted different..They are not oily at all, and you can actually feel the freshness and crunchiness with every bite. Loving it! And the meat-looking thing, I forgot what it's called, is also not bad, though a bit bland.

The organic tea and miso soup that come with the lunch set is also refreshingly good.

I think it's a good idea to eat organic food at least once a week, so that our body can benefit from the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are otherwise lacking in our day-to-day greasy food choices. At WOODS Bio Marche, not only you get good foods and variety, but also affordability. I mean, really, the price you pay for one trip to this place just about equals a meal at Burger King....

So, start eating healthy today, and get organic baby!
