B station, a restaurant branding that once had 4 outlets is now focusing on the one and only at Ampang Korean Town in better control of quality and consistency. Amid other traditional Korean restaurants that serve BBQ, B station creates its own exclusive line of fusion and MSG-free healthy food.
Upon stepping in, I lay my eyes on their white walls against many little cute details that blend in, giving the vibe of comfy and homey. Along with Anna as invited bloggers of the night, we went for a tour upstairs.
Another bar was being set up here to cater for private functions that can accommodate up to 40 people.
There were valid explanations for the homey vibe earlier on as John Lee, the Korean owner of this restaurant put his effort in making some of the furniture by his own hands: white-painted wooden planks as lamp shade, mosaics on the table, cushion with floral patterns…some decorations were brought in from home and Joseph the son also added that some of the books were of his.
Interesting how this particular tree at the center has gone through the process of preserving and being imported from Korea.
We then proceeded to the ground floor. One can easily spend the whole afternoon here and won’t be bored as there was endless creativity on every corner with every detail urges me to look deeper and deeper.
Much resemble traffic light with their colors of red, yellow and green, these drinks stand out as Dragon Fruit Vinegar (RM5.80), Lemon Enzyme(RM7.80) and Mojito Apple Enzyme(RM7.80). They were all mixed with home-made enzyme so patrons can be guaranteed that this is one healthy drink. In fact, there was no non-healthy drink here as John the abeoji (father) forbid them from entering the menu.
I once encountered a person that has concern of the ice cubes in his cold drink. It has never brought up to me that even that single ice-cube might be contaminated and mixed along in the drink. Here at B station, John imported an ice cube maker just to produce his own ice, which of course he makes sure that the water is going through 4 layers of filters before the process hence the very clear ice cube.
Taking great consideration on our country of Muslims, B Station offers only pork-free food that cooked by Muslim chef.
GgongChi (Souri Fish) Set RM18.50
Beansprout Bachan, Fried Kimchi Banchan, Traditional Kimchi, Japchae (korean glass noodle), Potato BanchanBanchan (side dishes) is a must at Korean restaurants and I believe many of us would be happy with the unlimited refill service here and that they will change the varieties every week.
Danjang Soup RM14.50
Also known as Doenjang Jijigae, Doenjang is a traditional Korean fermented bean paste where its name literally means "thick paste".
Bulgogi Beef Pot RM18.50
Sweetness in a pot: scallions, onions, cabbages, marinated beefs and glass noodles that came sizzling hot.
Teriyaki Chicken Hotdog RM12.50
An illustration on the wall that explained everything. For someone as particular as John, he makes sure he knows all the ingredients in producing the food. The best way to do this is perhaps to home-made everything, from bread to sausages. Yes, sausage of no chemicals, halal made only from chicken breast along with other herbs and spices. Soft homemade bread sliced open and in you go homemade sausages, topped with generous (almost overflowing) amount of teriyaki chicken and onions, zigzagged with mustard sauce, then slit in few pieces of fresh cucumber and tomatoes at the sides.
One cannot eat like a lady but with mouth wide open and chew on those different textures by this teriyaki chicken hotdog. I heard this is one of the bestseller and I’m not surprised.

Jumbo Sausage Set RM15.50
2 poached potatoes covered with cream sauce, sunny side up and 2 sausages with mustard sauce that resemble face features. Same sausages and mustard sauce from the teriyaki chicken hotdog.
Seafood Pancake RM18.50
Generous amount of prawns and squids: chewy, crisp and non-greasy.
Dukbokki RM11.50
Also known as rice cake, it was cooked with onions and cabbage slices then garnished with white sesame and sliced scallions. My past experience of dukbokki was chewy but this strikes it off with its soft texture. Turned out John has his source from Goong, a Korean rice cake manufacturer operated by his son for local supermarkets that makes rice cake out of pure rice instead of mixing with flour.
Belgium Waffle RM8.80
Other than the waffle iron pattern that was similar to me, the taste and texture were so different: yeasty, dense and chewy. Covered with home-made whipped cream, maple syrup, citrusy fruit of orange and kiwi, finally embellished with red cherry.
Apple Muffin RM3.80
Made with their very own homemade apple enzyme and topped with almond slices.
