Omaya @ Sibu

I managed to drop by Omaya, Sibu Sarawak earlier of this month with my family. 

Omaya, Sibu had been widely spread through Facebook on 2015. It's well-known for Dakgalbi (春川炒鸡排锅）, cotton candy drinks （棉花泡泡饮料）and Korean fried chicken. 

 It's nearby Sibu Bus Terminal, thus it's easier to spot

spacious, simple and cozy. Every table was equipped with gas stove and hot plate 

 It sounded like bluffing 

The main highlight of the visit would be their Dakgalbi (春川炒鸡排锅）. RM 22 for 1 portion of Dakgalbi. 1 portion catered for 2 people according to the waitress. Since I had 6 family members, we went for 3 portions (RM 66). 

Dakgalbi had 2 types of flavors: mild spicy and spicy. I ordered mild spicy flavor as parents can't tolerate with higher levels of spicy foods.  

Each portion of Dakgalbi served with complementary marinated chicken, cabbages, lettuces, tteokboki, kimchi and soup.  

You may add on other vegetables as written in the menu such as enoki mushrooms, sweet potatoes, mushroom balls and so on. We just add on Ramen noodles. Mama Tay wished to try Ramen noodles. 

Other than that, we tried kimchi tofu stew （泡菜豆腐煲）. 

After that, the waitress spent 14 minutes in frying chickens and vegetables of Dakgalbi on the hot plate. She reassured me Dakgalbi was done within 14 minutes. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. She was so patient in answering my questions and always had smiles on her face. 

I was so upset with Dakgalbi. No aromatic and fragrance at all for the chicken. It totally reduced my appetite. 

Mango cotton candy drink (RM 8.50). It looked extraordinary but just an ordinary drink. It utilized the canned mango juice instead of fresh mango juices with a slice of lemons. Besides that, the cotton candy was the usual cotton candy that could found at any shops. It was not deserved RM 8.50

 Ramen noodles with unknown sauce

After 14 minutes, the Ramen noodles was added into the Dakgalbi. Approximately 10 minutes, it was ready to serve. Nothing to shout about Ramen noodles. It was like Maggi noodles that could found at any supermarkets. 

 Kimchi tofu stew (RM 14.80). It was quite let down compared to other Korean restaurants. I didn't enjoyed sausages appeared in kimchi tofu soup. It was not matched with the original Kimchi tofu stew. 

A well feed Tay's family members A.L.W.A.Y.S happy. 

P/S: Above was my personal reviews and please remember taste buds vary others
