Charcoal Goodness & Juicy Ribs: QingHeGu BBQ Charms Uptown Damansara
QingHeGu Korean Restaurant (청학골, 靑鶴谷) in Uptown Damansara delivers a standout charcoal BBQ experience that combines quality cuts, excellent service, and an authentic Korean vibe. The standout dishes include marinated pork ribs—juicy, tender, and richly seasoned—and premium beef cuts that are perfectly grilled by attentive staff right at your table. The charcoal grill adds a distinctive smoky flavor that enhances without overwhelming.
You’re also treated to a generous spread of banchan (side dishes), with kimchi, pumpkin, eggplant, and even complimentary ice cream for a sweet finish. The service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and knowledgeable, ensuring you don’t need to lift a finger except to eat.
While parking can be a bit of a challenge (especially during peak hours), you can park at nearby Starling Mall and walk over. It’s also best to make a reservation on weekends to avoid long waits.
Whether you’re a Korean BBQ enthusiast or just love grilled meats, QingHeGu strikes a great balance of quality, flavor, and experience. It’s a bit more premium in pricing, but the value shines through in the food and service.
A must-visit for Korean BBQ fans in Petaling Jaya.

Blacky Coffee – A Hidden Gem with Matcha Magic & Cozy Minimalism
Tucked away in an unassuming corridor and up a quiet flight of stairs, Blacky Coffeebar is a minimalist café haven that rewards those who seek out the less obvious. Don’t let the low-key entrance fool you — behind that stairway is a delightful café with seriously good vibes, comfort food, and matcha that’s worth the climb.
Why It Deserves the Spotlight:
• Quirky Branding with a Local Soul
From the hand-drawn cartoon signage to the chill, no-fuss interior, Blacky blends personality with a welcoming atmosphere. It’s casual, artsy, and totally Instagrammable.
• Simple Space, Full Flavor
With a concise menu and quiet seating arrangement, the café delivers quality over quantity. The matcha latte is creamy and vibrant, the soft-baked cookie melts in your mouth, and their savory meals are warm, flavorful, and comforting.
• Menu Highlights:
• Iced Matcha Latte – Balanced, smooth, and perfectly layered.
• Soft Cookie – Crisp edges with a gooey center, ideal for dipping.
• Salted Egg Butter Chicken Pasta – Fusion done right: creamy, spicy, and crunchy.
• Salted Egg Chicken with Rice or Mantou – A crowd-pleaser with bold, savory flavor.
• Vibes & Hours
Open from 11am to 10pm (closed Saturdays), it’s a great pick for lunch or an afternoon pick-me-up. It feels like a cozy upstairs studio turned into your favorite local spot.

During my recent trip to Petaling Jaya, I finally got to dine at Grub by Ahong & Friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of Section 17, this unassuming spot focuses purely on quality food — and it absolutely delivers. I ordered the Beef Tomahawk Steak, and it was a showstopper. Juicy, smoky, and grilled to perfection, it arrived with a beautiful sear and a flavor-packed crust, easily one of the best steaks I’ve had in Malaysia. The portion was massive — perfect for sharing — and paired with simple but satisfying sides that let the meat shine. The vibe is laid-back with a self-service system, which adds to its charm and efficiency. I wrapped up the meal with their unique Taufufah Cheesecake, which was light, creamy, and topped with a gingery syrup that brought everything together. If you’re a steak lover or just someone who appreciates bold, honest cooking, Grub by Ahong is a must-visit. Be sure to book in advance — this hidden gem fills up fast!
