Welcome to Southkey.

As with any great Korean meal, we were treated to free-flow banchan, including garden salad, marinated mushrooms, and cucumber pickled in kimchi sauce. These sides added a nice balance to the rich main dishes, ensuring we left with full bellies.

A perfect side to complement any Korean dish, this Korean steamed egg was fluffy, savoury, and absolutely tastisfying. It was served piping hot, and I found myself hoo-haa-ing my way through every bite while enjoying the burst of flavour. Just be careful not to scrape the bottom or side too much, as the prolonged heat does leave a slight char, which could add a bit of a burnt taste.

This bowl of goodness is pure comfort. A whole young chicken simmered with ginseng and rice, all packed into a rich, steaming, and nourishing soup. The chicken was so tender that it literally disintegrated, bones and all, when we bit into it. The texture of the meat was smooth and chewy, while the broth was rich, thick, and full of natural chicken essence. The natural oils from the chicken added a tastisfying richness to the soup. At the bottom, soft rice made the dish surprisingly filling, but if you’re extra hungry, you can always add a bowl of White Rice (RM 5).

My friend had a serious craving for Samgye-tang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup), and we weren’t sure where to go. A quick Google search led us to Palsaik Korean BBQ at Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru, and that’s how we ended up here!

(RM 11.90) Finally tried their matcha red bean crossiant as I tried their kaya crossiant previously. The matcha taste quite weird tbh but sauce texture was quite thick, milky and creamy. But the red bean filling is not much and just a mini scoop of it only :") The croissant texture was quite flaky, crispy and crunchy after reheating 5 mins around 150 degree celsius.

As always, their mille crepes are absolutely lovely and this comes w an intense pandan aroma.

Rlly good

Somewhat mild but there's a nice cream flavour

Cheese was ok but the tart base was way too thick and dense.

Avoid, it's even worse than their hanjuku mini cheesecake

Got cheese taste and abit of sourness but somehow quite lacking in impact, maybe cos it's not very sweet at all
