Hobahn – Korean Restaurant at Waterfront, Desa ParkCity

I love korean food. But I always had to go all the way to Ampang for good yet decently priced Korean grub. The nearest Korean restaurant near Bandar Sri Damansara (where we’re staying) was in Kepong Baru and it’s not exactly very near also. The traffic was another factor that prevented us from having Korean food as often as we like. Then came Charlie, and it’s even more difficult to find a place that could accommodate dogs.

That’s why I was very thrilled when I noticed that a Korean restaurant had opened at Waterfront Desa ParkCity, our regular place to walk Charlie. Recently, Waterfront management has begun to allow dog owners to sit outside of their restaurant premises with their furkids and this Korean restaurant is one of them. So another plus point for me. As far as I’m concerned, only Kluang Station and the steamboat place there do not allow dogs inside or out – so my middle finger to them.

The Korean restaurant is called Hobahn. It’s situated right between Aino Kitchen and the pharmacy.It offers the Korean BBQ that we’re all familiar with and plenty of other dishes and pretty good set deals. And the best thing of them all? It serves pork :D

I have dined there 3 times and I was happy everytime. Unfortunately I have not gotten the chance to taste the BBQ because it’s always just the two of us but I’m definitely going to give the BBQ a go.

Pork bibimbap for 1 person but good enough for 2 – tasty :)

Kimchi tofu soup – hot, spicy and appetising..also good enough for 2 people.

Teriyaki fried chicken – crunchy and flavourful. Thumbs up!

The restaurant is clean and comfortable, got indoor and outdoor.

A picture of me cause I feel like it.

Bonus point for kimchi lovers. They sell them by the boxes so you can enjoy them at home.

Total damage: RM52.80. Before I finish, I would like to stress the importance of keeping your dogs well-behaved whenever you bring them out to public places. Make sure they’re toilet-trained and do not bark incessantly and keep them under control at all time. Don’t let them climb onto tables or lick from the restaurant’s utensils. All I’m saying is, you want to be able to bring your furkids out, then you got to be a responsible dog owner and convince the restaurateurs that not all dogs spell trouble. If you are unable to control your dogs, please don’t bother and ruin it for the rest of us. Stay home and watch lots of Cesar Millan instead.

Pre-CNY reunion dinner at Fitou with #porkgang

Since everyone has somewhere to go during Chinese New Year, #porkgang decided to get together with all the furkids to celebrate pre-CNY at Fitou, Desa Park City. Eric booked the table under “porkgang” and according to Kerol, that was exactly what was written on the placard on the table. Haha. There were 13 of us not including 5 bitches and 1 dawg.

Food was awesomesauce, especially for the price. The salads were particularly outstanding.

Country Farmer salad. Prawns, thick bacon and fresh crisp lettuce. Nais!

Pork burger. Big, juicy & delicious!

Paella for 2. Very moist & flavourful. Thumbs up!

Some kinda pork in black pepper based sauce. Pretty good if you like the spicy.

Carbonara. Rich and creamy in the tastiest way ever. Awesomesauce!!!

Introducing the bitches and the stud….

CheddieSluttyBitch. As you can see, living up to her namesake.

KoyukiGanasBitch. Should change name dy. KoyukiMensaBitch or something. Fucking smart, cannot believe.

EmoQQ. Possibly the soon-to-be latest addition to my family :) She looks a splitting image of #EmoCharlie <3 <3

Last but not least, the handsome EmoCharlie. Which is him? The one that looks exactly like daddy, of course.

And now…the secondary characters at dinner.

Ah Horng & Selina.

Haze and the ex joined us a while later and I didn’t get to take any picture of her. I love Haze very much and you shall find out why in coming posts. In the meantime, check out her blog for awesomesauce makeup & fashion tutorials. And if you want to revamp your blog, look no further cause Haze is your woman.

Here’s a photo lifted from Haze’s blog.

Damn hot right? Well, truth is she doesn’t look like that without makeup, so what I’m saying is her makeup skills are damn l33t. Hahahaha jangan bunuh aku!!!

Yours truly and ST.

After dinner, we walked the dogs at the park. All the pups running alongside and chasing each other. So HAPPY!!

And the last picture to complete this entry…

Furong jiejie and Charlie.

Happy Chinese New Year peeps!

Blue Cow Cafe, Plaza Damas.

In my search for good pet-friendly restaurants, I discovered Blue Cow Cafe at Plaza Damas. Formerly known as Fogal Meat Market, it was renamed as Blue Cow Cafe but the restaurant decor and menu has not changed much.


#1 – Blue Cow Cafe, Plaza Damas.

Situated in the labyrinth that is Plaza Damas, we had trouble locating it at first. In fact our first time there almost did not happen because after walking for about 45 minutes searching for the restaurant I had wanted to give up. Fortunately, the boo managed to find it in the nick of time. I’m glad we did because it has become our regular haunt for good ol’ pork dishes.

There’s an impressive meat deli in the restaurant which can render even the most stoic diner excited.


#2 – Meat haven.

I love the soups. Always piping hot and enough to be shared between 2 people. It was a rainy day and we decided to share a bowl of spicy tomato soup. It was very good, it’s got a bite to it and it wasn’t too sour.


#3 – Spicy tomato soup.

We’ve tried the pea & ham soup and also the creamy mushroom soup. Both were also very delicious. For my main, I ordered roast pork with apple sauce. I order this every time I visit Blue Cow Cafe.


#4 – Roast pork with apple sauce.


#5 – The fragrant apple sauce.

My favourite part of this dish is the crackling that come with. Fresh, delicious, crunchy, fatty pork crackling.


#6 – Pork crackling.


#7 – That’s a look of sheer happiness.

The babber ordered fish & chips.


#8 – Fish & chips.

According to him, it was very good. Batter was crispy and the fish was flaky. The chips were fresh and good.


#9 – Even Charlie approves.

We’ve been there half a dozen times and were happy every time. One thing though, trust me and don’t ever order the kebab. Everything else, the pies, the ribs, the dessert, the lamb stew were all delicious.


#10 – Christmas Roast Turkey.

They even have xmas roast turkey for order, and I intend to try it out this year.


#11 – The patio area of Blue Cow Cafe.

Price wise it is very reasonable. For instance, the big bowl of soup is about RM11. My roast pork with apple sauce is just shy of RM20.

The atmosphere would actually be pretty good if it weren’t for the nearby construction works. But that’s not a good enough reason to avoid Blue Cow Cafe. For a pork and pet lover, it’s a perfect place to go.
