When it comes to Korean BBQ a.k.a. K-BBQ, there’s a lot to love, whether it’s the flavourful grilled meat or side dishes you just can’t get enough of! Not to mention that grilling your own meat and enjoying it with your family or friends is certainly a wonderful experience! Depending on the menu, you get to sample different types of meat like beef, pork and lamb that complements well with assorted side dishes. That said, here are the Top 10 Places For K-BBQ in KL & Selangor!
1) Shinmapo
With over 500 outlets in Korea and around the world, Shinmapo is renowned for its signature Galmaegi cut a.k.a. The Pork Skirt Meat. Apparently, this type of pork cut happens to be so premium that you can only get 200g out of a whole pig. Other than the aforementioned pork cut, they also serve various quality meats like beef bone-in short rib, pork belly and pork collar. Shinmapo caters for both small and large crowds, with their menu consisting of different BBQ sets (e.g. Pork Lover Set and The Best Beef Set). You can locate their Klang Valley outlets in The Gardens Mall and SS15 Courtyard.
