So, we were on the lookout. Simply drive until TarC and this interior caught my eyes.

How can you say no to such an artful cafe?!

It’s a sin for not entering!

I was dead hungry so ORDER!

Apparently Dari means bridge in Korean. And the owner, David Moon (I know, tak Korean right his name) has a thing for bridge. All the pictures in this cafe was drawn by him.

Him explaining the concept cafe to us. Love his t-shirt btw, why didn’t Elias design one of us like that in uni??

And all the pictures depict the concept of bridge. E.g. People sitting in front of each other are connected by a bridge.

He did take a picture of us illustrating the idea but my hair was super messy so am not gonna post it here

Soon our food arrive.

Spicy Rice Cake with Vege

Tukbokki

RM7.90

Very filling and SPICY! Just nice for two small eater like us.

Kimchi Fried Rice

Kimchi Bokumbap

RM8.90

Gosh, I love the kimchi! And the egg look so cute, really bu she de eat it. After eating here, Korean food is officially my fav food! No more Japs jor. Cos Japs food taste almost the same geh everywhere. And I love Korean food cos it’s a tad spicy. Like it!

Mr. David served my dessert last, like how it should be. You know how some people serve dessert together with the main course and switching between warm spicy food and sweet cold food is not good for your pearly whites.

Korean Ice Kacang

RM5.90

The sweetness is just right for us. What a nice way to end our satisfying meal

And then David served baby coffee on the house! The perks of being a blogger. No la, he didn’t know that I’m a blogger also.

See the coffee is engraved inscribe with the word Dari

Baby say the coffee tasted nice but too bad it was cold jor.

The love of my life.

The love of his life wtf.

I would actually come back here just to chill out. Too bad when we arrived, it was already closing but kind owner extend his working hours for us

While writing this, I actually drag my mom to the laptop to look at the pics cos the place is so pretty! Mommy says that it looks so comfy like a home. Awww…

I would someday love to own a place like this. Restaurant by day, cafe by night. A mix of Betty Midwest Kitchen at Aman Suria  and The Bee at Jaya One. Main purpose is of course make people happy with food whilst meeting people.

Here, you can learning language too! David came to Malaysia, 2 years ago to learn English. So, he has this program called ‘Language Exchange’, teaching people a language you know in exchange of learning the language you want. For example, Ali is looking for someone to teach him Japanese and since I can teach Japanese, I’d volunteer! Provided he can teach me Spanish but I doubt it wtf

Very cool concept kan? You get to chill, meet people and learn a whole new language at one go!

Writing this post makes me wana drive all the way to Penang just to chill at the cafe! Sigh… how I miss it T__T

Even the mural on the wall is drawn by David *sigh so artistic

And some furniture he bought it second hand and re-paint it.

Anyway, what would a Korean themed cafe be without the Wonder Girls and 2PM kan? For K-Drama/Songs/Movies lover, you should totally come here. Then you can impress David with your self-learnt Korean language teehee~

Unfortunately, the only foreign language I can speak is Japanese so… no chance to impress people wtf.

Detailing is vital for a concept cafe and he certainly did a good job!

Dari- The Korean Bridge Cafe is located at Permai 32, No. 30 (near Blue Reef), Lebuh Lembah Permai 4, Pulau Pinang.

It opens from Monday to Saturday (9am – 9pm)

Go ahead and visit Dari Cafe when you’re in Penang. It is a MUST GO PLACES in Penang

Update!

Whoops! Actually, all the paintings in the cafe is done by David’s friend. Sorry ya, I stand corrected. Nevertheless, it’s still an awesome cafe. Cheerios~

I just came back from Penang last week and it was my second trip in two months. So I’ll squeeze in 2 Penang trips post into 1:)

In Jan, went down to celebrate baby’s birthday and early Valentine’s Day. Well, actually, everytime we meet, it feels like Valentine’s Day. Cos we meet like once a month and that one time means a lot. Precious, precious moment.

Baby brought me to this Taiwanese restaurant for lunch one day.

We ordered Mini Steamboat.

Tomyam Mini steamboat

Psst. The red blurry thing on the bottom left is pork slice. Yums!

Baby’s favourite. Forgot what it is called -_-”

The best thing about visiting baby in Penang is.

Can take picture while on motorbike how i wish it was a vespa

Transformer.

Starting to take pictures that scream AH HANNNNNNNN!

It wasn’t easy taking picture on a motorbike. One needs to be very alert and can quickly think of what story to tell by taking a particular picture.

This was taken before the man turned into a junction.

Komtar.

In another trip.

Baby attempts to be artsy fartsy.

Sipping on green tea ice blended while reading an old issue of National Geographic *geek mode on

G Hotel

A quick lunch at Pastamania before Valentine’s Day. Couldn’t decide which is the best photo of the pasta so you be the judge.

From the earlier food pics, I think you can more or less know which one is taken by me.

After movie, go take pics again.

Okay this is cheat one. We were still when I took this. That’s why so symmetry.

Sigh if only I got wide angle lens.

Even go vertical also cannot save Mayfair building.

Baby pai de.

Hello uncle.

Gotcha mister.

Hello mister. Again.

He managed to cycle in front of us cos he didn’t stop at the traffic light hence overtook us.

And then we lunch at Kochabi. The same Taiwanese restaurant we came during my last trip.

If only you had showed me your body.

His colleagues recommended this beef noodle. It’s a MUST TRY when you are here.

Well, looks can be deceiving. After I tried it, sad to say but it tasted like the RM5 instant beef noodle Elias bought last time at 7 Eleven in Taiwan zzz.

When we were here, the second time, all the food price increase by RM1. Probably because of CNY week. Ice water also increase 20 cents making it RM1.20. Freaking ice water per glass.

Alien invasion.

Very skinny fireworks on the 2nd day of My FM event at Esplanade.

Lastly, RM7 rojak at Gurney Drive for supper.
