Review Restaurant New Saladin in Daegu, Korea

Assalamualaikum, everyone.



During my stay in Korea, I lived in a dorm at Hwangto-gwan dormitory at Kyungpook National University (KNU). The dormitory is really near with Global KNU building and with KNU north gate. So, in front of KNU north gate, there is a halal restaurant that cooked by Pakistan people. So, my buddys and I went there for lunch.

The New Saladin restaurant is on the third floor. We need to go upstairs.

You can see the KNU north gate from the restaurant. 

The interior design of the restaurant looks nice and comfortable for dining.

Here  I attach the menu included with the price :

The restaurant is famous for curry and Tandoori chicken. There are many Korean people come here to taste the curry. Some of them are staffs and teachers from KNU themselves. So, we had ordered rice, curry, and chicken. While we waited for the foods to arrive on our table, they gave salad for our appetizers. It's kinda cool.

 The rice curry had arrived! This all comes in a set for one person dining.

 Tandoori Chicken looks very delicious.

 Salad.

 Five of us lunch together!!

Me, Fizah, Yejin, Minseon and Chris had a great lunch at New Saladdin Restaurant!!

The owner is so kind. He gives me 500 won discounts because I short 500 won coin..haha.The foods are delicious. If you pursue study here or also had an exchange student program at Kyungpook National University, don't forget to stop by at this restaurant because they provided halal and delicious food. I wish if I come to Korea again next time, I want to try other menus in this restaurant. Lastly, I attach their business card where they had telephone number and the locations of the restaurant. That's all from me. Thanks for reading!!

I really had so much fun in Korea and now I want to share what foods can you buy if you guys stopped by at their convenience store. For your information, they had so many convenience stores that operated in the country. In Malaysia, we have 7-11, Family Mart and KK Super Mart. In Korea, they have GS25, 7-11, CU, Dongwoo Mart, emart24 and others.

1. Rice / Nasi

If you are Malaysian, of course, you can not live without eating rice in a day. Me too. The price is based on the size and they have the variant texture of rice. So do the price depends on the types of rice. The big cup cost 2500 won. And if you eat less, you can take the small cup which cost 1800 won only.

Price : 1800 won (small)
           2500 won (big)


2. Tuna

This Dong Won brand of Tuna you can eat without a doubt. There is two color, blue and red. Blue for light and original taste. Red is spicy. Buy it and have try!! I usually chose red one with labeled Hot Pepper Tuna. But mehh, doesn't spicy at all to me..

Tuna Price : 2800 won (small)
                    3600 won ( big)

Price : 1400 won


4. MELONA Ice-cream

MELONA is a melon-flavored ice pop manufactured by Binggrae Co. This item set the best selling record in the ice pop market in Korea and has remained one of the steadiest sellers. MELONA got halal certified by JAKIM(national halal certification body of Malaysia) March 2015 and has been exported to Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hongkong, Brasil, USA, Canada.
