The soul-warming signature speciality of Seoul's Great East Gate comes to Solaris Mont Kiara: Straight from the Dongdaemun Market district, this is KL's destination for dakhanmari, a whole chicken hot pot, served steaming and satisfying to share.
For fans of unique Korean recipes, Dongdaemun Dakhanmari is a delicious delight - its 'one-chicken pot' is the top temptation, but there's more poultry pleasure to try, from traditional whole fried chicken to Korean-imported chicken feet, for the ultimate Korean chicken kitchen.
Rest assured of Dongdaemun Dakhanmari's authenticity - this Korean-run restaurant relies on a 30-year-old secret recipe for its hot pot, focusing on farm-fresh chicken as well as a wide variety of Korean-cultivated vegetables. It makes its soup from scratch without stocks and shortcuts, its own sauces and noodles, resulting in honest flavours that taste home-cooked.
