Entrails and rice balls

Ampang is probably the first Korean township in Klang Valley before Solaris and Mont Kiara became a more popular choice for Korean expats. So if you crave for authentic Korean barbecue, I would recommend exploring this area formerly known as One Ampang Avenue.

Kim Ga Ne is one of my family’s favorite Korean barbecue joint because on top of the usual pork belly and bulbogi, they serve beef or pig entrails. What’s that? Entrails, also mean internal organs or innards. Yes, not for the fussy diners.

One of the must order for me is the rice balls. A simple meal by itself which you can make at home. Hot rice with seaweed, sesame and and sesame oil which you can mould into balls yourself. It’s super yummy.

We ordered the beef entrails which is a combo of stomach and tripe. It is chewy but delicious but the tripe which was marinated in chili paste is very spicy. So be warned.  

We also ordered the pork shoulder. The portion is quite small for its price and we had to order another portion of pork belly.

The steamed egg was complimentary and it’s suitable for kids. Dig in and you will find burned bits at the bottom which is smoky yet tasty.

To end the meal, we ordered the buckwheat cold noodle. Another nice Korean meal experience, you add a dash of mustard, chili paste and vinegar and cut the noodle with a pair of scissors. Yes, for the chill they added ice into the noodle and when you are done, don’t forget to slurp some of the soup. Helps cool you down after a hot grilling meal. 

Price point, about RM80 per person including a bottle of soju. Not bad for quality meat but unfortunately, the banchan (side dishes) is quite limited. Nevertheless, I am still a fan and would return for its authenticity.
