Namoo On The Park @ Publika - Korean Fusion?

I every only go to Publika for Fat Boys and The Red Bean Bag, rarely for anything else because I'm a burger freak and breakfast junkie like that. So when my friend wanted to bring me to Namoo, I was a bit hesitant but every so willing to try out a new place.

Namoo On The Park 

Located right at the end of Level G3, Namoo serves a variety of authentic korean food with a modern twist. What's that? Imagine this, Rice cake burger? Exactly what I just said.

Bibi Rice Burger. Rm19.00.

A slice of grilled chicken breast marinated with teriyaki sauce layered with an egg, lettuce and tomato served with 2 chunks of sticky rice bun. I was really stuffed towards the end of the meal.

Bulgogi Beef Burger. Rm19.90.

This burger was a pretty good alternative to the typical beef patty. Come with a serving of fries, salad and kimchi.

Kimchi Soup with Rice. Rm16.90.

The kimchi soup was surprisingly good. It was really spicy but all up to flavor. I would recommend this.

They also served an assortment of desserts with the sweet potato cake being their stand out dessert. I went there twice to try this cake but to no avail, it's always sold out. We decided to opt for the chocolate brownie.

Chocholate Brownie. Rm9+.

I was kind of dissapointed with the dessert. One, they took about 20-25 minutes to serve us this slice of brownie when it can simply be heated up then served within 10 minutes. Two, the brownie was really hard and tough. I need to use a knife to slice through the brownie. This was a huge dissapointment.

Besides that, Namoo also serve a range of 'Specialty Drinks', which are conconctions of spices and herbs and a combination of others.

Cinnamon & Poppy Seed (Rm8.90) and Flower Rice Punch Granita (Rm8.90).

I would not recommend this either. I ended up drinking plain water instead. On a separate ocassion, I gave the Sweet Potato Latter (Rm9.90) a shot, but like the other Specialty drinks, it tasted equally odd.

Overall rating: 6/10 for the unique fushion of korean food and burgers. In my opinion, the rice burger is pretty workable just that the amount of rice that was served, was a bit too much for me. The atmosphere was a plus too. Downgraded because of the drinks and dessert.

I would definitely recommend this for first timers and would probably only come back for a taste of the raved-upon, sweet potato cake. Some may not totally enjoy the combination of ingredients Namoo serves. Hence, do try with an open heart. It's an acquired taste they say.
