Different from the usual Korean restaurants which serve greasy pancake and heaty BBQs, what Bonjuk has to offer is its wide array of Korean porridge that is 'low-fat and abundant in flavour'. I was surprised to find out that there are over 16 types of porridge to choose from. You can have the usual varieties like vegetable combination, salmon, seafood, tuna, ginseng chicken, octopus and kimchi. If you have a sweet tooth, do try out the innovative varieties like pine nut, mung bean, red bean, sweet pumpkin and black sesame.
This is my bowl of M size Oyster & Mushroom porridge, priced at RM15.95. L size is available for RM22.95. Came with kimchi, cold radish soup and some other unidentifiable spicy sourish stuffs that are great to go with porridge.
Not in the mood for porridge? You can choose from the 13 types of Korean bibimbap from their menu. The serving is generous enough to feed one glutton. Very delicious indeed when compared to the other bibimbaps that we have tasted so far.
Char siew bao's piping hot seafood bibimbap in hot stone bowl, priced at RM23++. You can also choose to have their cheaper version bibimbap, ie rice served in a normal bowl.
Have a glass of sweet and soothing red date tea (RM5++) to wash down your food.
I even get their 'Bonjuk Mileage Card' too! 5 stamps will get you 50% discount on your next bowl of porridge/ bibimbap. If you managed to pass their loyalty test by getting 10 stamps, they will reward you with a bowl of porridge/ bibimbap free!

Emm...these are the reviews that I managed to find so far, did I leave out anyone?

Apparently a few bloggers blogged about Dae Sa Kwan and seem to be quite pleased with the food, so I decided to give DSK a try.
The next dish to come is the seafood korean pancake (RM 25). Another alternative would be kimchi pancake but with a few bucks difference, we opted for seafood instead.
Believe it or not, take a look at this picture. I was horrified when I flipped the pancake over. Yeee....it was really oily!!!
The last dish was the BBQ chicken (RM 27). We didn't get to BBQ the chicken on our own and I thought the chicken chunks were stir-fried instead of BBQ-ed by the cook. But anyway, thanks to the BBQ sauce, the chicken tasted pretty good.
In conclusion, I love everything about this place except the food O_o Okay, I'm not saying that the food is lousy, I'm just not into korean food. But if you love korean food and korean BBQ, DSK is the place for you.
The bill: RM80 for 2 persons
