[food review + soft launch] OMAYA, Mount Austin
OMAYA was well-received by many 'foodie', since its flagship outlet opening at Subang Jaya. It has stirred up hype and is well endorsed of many Korean food enthusiasts within Malaysia. After a short three months, they opened their second outlet at Mont Kiara. Now, barely half a year later, OMAYA's third outlet has been opened at Mount Austin, JB, and I was delighted to have been invited for the soft launch and food review session!
The specialities we reviewed were
the 1200mm Korean BBQ Skewer, Giant Pork Ribs Cheesy Toppoki Stew, Honey
Mustard Boneless Chicken Cubes, Shimson Stew and the Lee Kwang Soo - Cheese
Dakgalbi.
To start off, I had
the Rainbow Slush (RM11.90), and I love the stylish tall bottle! The Rainbow
colors looked so pretty, and were very Insta-worthy!
I was amazed by
OMAYA's Korean BBQ Skewer (RM138) which holds a record for a height of 1200mm. The Skewer is
fixed with various Pork Cuts, Chicken Thighs, Sices of Pineapples, Bell
Peppers, Squid, Prawns and Onions.
The Skewer is hung
high on the ceiling, and it is only detached once it is to ready to be grilled. Thumbs up
for the BBQ Skewer as it was definitely the limelight of the night!
Next up was the Giant
Pork Ribs Cheesy Toppoki Stew (RM75) which came with 5 humongous sticky Giant ribs
that were marinated in mildly spicy sauce. We had a great time polishing off these ribs that were covered
in such a delicious and luscious sauce!
The Honey Mustard
Boneless Chicken Cube (RM25) came in piping hot cheese! I really like the
chicken meat, as it tasted awesome!
Shimson Stew (RM84) is one of
OMAYA's signature dishes that feeds around 2-3 people. It is a combination of
Korean rice cakes, noodles, luncheon meat, ham, hotdogs, baked beans and
custard slices. The addition of cheese made the soup thicker and more flavorful!
The Deep Fried Squid
Cheesy Toppoki Stew (RM58) was my favorite dish of the night ,as the batter was
well seasoned and was cooked perfectly. OMAYA specially selected the Squid from
Argentina for its better texture.
The Lee Kwang Soo - Cheese Dakgalbi is another one item that OMAYA takes great pride in! The Boneless Chicken Leg was marinated 2 days using the flavored chili sauce! The set also included an aromatic pork chop, and on the whole , the price was RM82. If you are a cheese lover, then you are in for a treat, as the seductive cheese aroma will whet your appetite!
Another Insta-worthy
non-alcoholic drink is the Cotton Candy Fizzy Drink (RM9.90). Many patrons are
attracted to OMAYA's special drinks. I love the bubble drink as it really made
my day though handling it might be a bit messy!
Never forget about
the signature beverage, which is readily available in almost all Korean Restaurants. The Watermelon Soju! This refreshing cocktail (RM36.90) tasted really delicious and was sweet!
Cheese is the primary
ingredient in OMAYA, and I was surprised that I did not get the 'Gelak' feeling at
all. OMAYA captures the hearts of Korean food lovers and I strongly recommended
all my friends and readers to visit OMAYA! I was pleased by the generous
serving portions, and the price wise, it was pretty decent as well!
Lastly, thanks for
having me at the soft launch of OMAYA. I enjoyed the food very much, and it was
worth travelling across the causeway to attend the tasting session!
