Ko Hyang (故乡)＝ my homeland
There’s a reason it is always packed – good food with reasonable price (from RM9.90 to RM 18.90). With free banchan and soup too!
Ko Hyang is no stranger to the foodies in KL. Owned by a Korean who used to study here, this kiosk like eating place serves home made korean food. The one page menu features simple korean favourites such as bibimbap, jap chae (stir fry glass noodles), jeons (pancakes) and some rice/noodles dishes.
I was there last weekend with the girls (Christine and Aiwei) and we ordered up a feast that can easily feed 4 to 5 people.
Topped with namul (sauteed vegetables), gochujang (chili pepper paste) and a fried egg with runny egg, bibimbap is also known as korean mixed rice. Remember to give it a good stir before eating. It is a healthy selection for those who are watching their intake.
Tteokbokki! The cylinder shaped rice cakes were sticky and chewy along with a spicy sauce. While I love the texture of the tteoks, the sauce was too bland for my liking.
Ojinguh Bokkeum (stir fried squid in spicy sauce) is my favourite of the lot! The taste reminds me of the cheap korean dishes that I had in a random stall in Seoul. So delicious!
The kimchi jeon was very good too; with fluffy centre and crispy edges. It tasted even better when dipped with the tangy sauce.
And of course the meal wouldn’t have been as great as it was without you girls! 🙂

Cheap eh? Authentic, simple and delicious. They should move into a shop with more seats. But then that’ll inflate the price. Aiks.. …
had lunch here once… food was OK and the price was not expensive compared to other Korean restaurants out there.
The only thing is that they don’t give too many complimentary side dishes 🙂
I love the food here! esp the squid! yum… and we shud get a pic of the 3 of us next time ;P nice one dear!!
hahaha, so fast geh! this korean food is really cheap and authentic. love it.

The Tteokbokki looks great! I remember eating it in Pusan, will have to check out the ones over here! 🙂
How is the food compared to Seoul?
HB: malaysianized version, like the squid dish rite, they use octopus in seoul. but for tht price, i’m not complaining 🙂

I love this place! One of the last few decent (and cheap) places to dine in MV! I didn’t see the rice cakes before… I LOVE these rice cakes… pity about the sauce though
