Experience the Outdark dining experience at SS15 Subang Jaya its' 47th store.

It is a very popular hipster restaurant and was started in Busan, Korea which serves Korean fusion food. Outdark has a very relax and cosy ambience where it is a place where youngster like to hang out.

For starters, we had the HAEUNDAE KIMCHI JIJIM (RM25.00). This is a vegetarian pan-fried pancake with Kimchi and vegetable topping.

Another starter that we had is the OUTDARK FRIED CHICKEN; the fried chicken here is served as boneless making it easy to eat and also as a bite-size to accompany your favourite drink. There are a number of flavours to choose from but we had the Original flavour (RM45.00). One of the nice things about Korean Fried Chicken is many of the restaurant chain uses Premium Oil and OUTDARK is no exception to this.

The Seafood Halmae Ddeok Bokki (RM67)) is a combo platter which consists of Seaweed Rice, Fried Chicken, Kim Chi, Sweet Corn and a combo of Mozzarella Cheddar Cheese. Served in a specially designed hot plate with a special Korean sauce and Toppokii.

Followed by the  Cheese Kingdom (RM88.00) - Marinated Chicken Meat with Spicy Korean Sauce served on a hot plate with Rice, Cheese and Assorted Vegetables. To eat this, each piece of the seasoned Chilli Sauce Fried Chicken are wrapped with the lava-like cheese.



The melted cheese is used to wrap the Fried Chicken.

Next, we had the Chef Choi Hot Pot (RM65.00) which is filled with mushroom slices and topped with seasoned beef strips and vegetables. We like the broth that came with the hotpot. Once you have eaten the ingredients, you put in the white rice and gives it a few stir; and you have made a porridge.

Makgeolli is a traditionally made from rice grains. It is originally popular among farmers but has since been popular with the younger generation especially the women. But here at Outdark, they served their brand of Makgeolli which enables you to enjoy fresh fruit and the unique taste. We were ordered the Apple Mango Makgeolli (RM37.00).

Our second after dinner drink is the Subank Soju (RM45.00) a creation of watermelon with Soju. Quite a popular drinks in Korean restaurant nowadays.

So, there you have it, Korean fans can enjoy all the delicious and lip-smacking dishes at OutDark Subang Jaya SS15.

Diamond Coral Water Filter System

There are many water filters available in Malaysia, investing in the right system is very important. We have recently installed an indoor Diamond Coral Water Filter system at our home.

The main problem with the supplied water into our home causes a lot of concern for much Malaysian. We have also installed at an outdoor unit that automatically backwashes the filter twice a day and each time you can see the outflow of brownish water oozing out from it. A very worrying feeling on the quality of the supplied water.

As our body consists of 75% to 78% water and I personally believe it is important to consume the filtered water to ensure that; our body is able to drink it without any concern.

My doctor also advise us to drink at least 8 glass of water daily; So, when my current water filter has served its' time, we decided to buy a new indoor water filter system. After searching the Internet and thru some friend recommendation, we have decided to install the Diamond Coral Water Filter system mainly because the filtered water is Alkaline water. I have done some research that drinking Alkaline water has many advantages over other filtered water.

For one it helps to neutralize the acid in our bloodstream, which leads to increased oxygen levels and improved energy and metabolism; it also contains antioxidant properties; cleanses the colon; rejuvenates our skin, and lubricates muscles and joints.

Moreover, filtered water provides better tasting and odourless drinking water by removing chlorine and bacterial contaminants. Once we have drunk the coffee and tea which uses the Alkaline water to brew it; we can taste the strong natural flavour and aroma of the coffee/ tea which has a natural and stronger taste.

Another way was the use of the filtered water to wash cut apples. Yes, after soaking the apples in the Diamond Coral alkaline filtered water, we can see that it does not turn brown as quickly as cut apples that use normal water to wash.

Overall, we have peace of mind knowing that the water we consume every day is clean filtered water. Since we have also installed a WaterBar system at home, we will use the filtered water for the WaterBar for our instant Warm Water. You can read about our WaterBar System here.

For more information, you can get in touch with them at Diamond Facebook Page or Diamond Website.
