豆豆里 DODOLI 永康旗艦店
A few days ago, I found out there were still spots available for online reservations, and the Google reviews looked good, so I immediately made a booking! (You can use inline booking.)
On that day, because my class was delayed, I ended up changing our reservation time over the phone twice to avoid being late.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance, we saw the shop's sign. The decor outside looked very comfortable, and the choice of lighting gave a warm feeling. Our reservation for two was arranged at a table for four, and it felt really comfy! (Seeing the four-person arrangement instantly scored points!)
After we were seated, we were served three plates of Korean side dishes, all of which can be refilled for free (I love Korean side dishes!). My favorite was the pomelo radish; it was refreshing and not too sour!
Ordering inside the restaurant is done directly via a QR code. We both wanted to eat everything. After looking around, we finally ordered the couple's set menu (I was worried that the portions would be too much and we couldn't finish, but later realized I was just worried for nothing).
The price for the couple's set menu is 1520.
Set Menu Item 1: Tofu Hotpot
There are so many options for the tofu hotpot! We were confused and didn't know which one to choose. They have a regular tofu hotpot (which can include vegetables, beef, pork, or seafood), kimchi cheese series, meat paired with seafood tofu hotpot, as well as pumpkin tofu hotpot, curry tofu hotpot, and tomato series tofu hotpot.
Set Menu Item 2: Half a Beef Ribeye Steak
Set Menu Item 3: Stone Pot Bibimbap (vegetable, beef, or pork options)
Set Menu Item 4: Mini Oyster Chives Pancake or Mini Kimchi Pancake
Set Menu Item 5: Steamed Egg Soup (regular steamed egg soup, cheese steamed egg soup, shrimp roe steamed egg soup, Korean crab meat steamed egg soup)
Set Menu Item 6: Two Drinks (Coke, Sprite, black tea, green tea, chamomile tea, mint tea, pear juice, peach juice, grape juice, plum juice, pear soda, watermelon soda, plum soda, melon soda, American coffee, latte)
The tofu hotpot was not too salty, and it had a lot of ingredients! (Full of tofu—there was also a generous portion of meat!) The rich broth made me sneak a few sips!
As for the beef ribeye, it was indeed half a portion, and the meat was tender with just the right texture; it tasted delicious (but half a portion really did feel a bit small...).
The mini kimchi pancake was really tiny, but the pancake skin was very aromatic and delicious (it's a thicker type of pancake). Later, while chatting, I forgot to finish it first. It was still really tasty even after it cooled down.
What I love most about Korean cuisine is the steamed egg soup! I always have to order it whenever I go to Korea or eat Korean food! This time, I ordered the one with shrimp roe, which greatly enhanced the texture and richness. The steamed egg itself was still very fluffy and smooth (please be careful! It's very hot!).
As for the drinks, I wonder if it's trendy now: they just give you a pull-tab can beverage along with a cup, and you can pour it yourself.
Overall, the meal was not bad, but I felt the value of the couple's set menu wasn’t very high...
Splitting the cost, it comes out to about 800 per person, but the portions felt a bit small (if you have someone who eats a lot, they might not feel full).
Maybe in the future, I could try ordering individual dishes to get normal portion sizes; the price might not differ too much in the end?
