Bee Won

Bee Won 秘苑 is an authentic Korean Traditional Restaurant at the 3rd floor of The Royal Hotel (formerly Dorsett Hotel or even earlier Sheraton Hotel) in Penang. When we were there, there was no other customers. We were seated in a private room, occupied the whole restaurant.
Miss Choi , the director of the restaurant is a very friendly person. She kept recommending and explaining the dishes on the menu to us. According to her, the ingredients they are using are mostly from Korea. And the food is prepared with minimum artificial flavours as well.


Lettuce leaves, korean sambals and chili sauce, green chili and garlic.

Teppanyaki style beef ribs ( this was highly recommended by Miss Choi, infact we were trying to order the other which was boneless ..hehe )

8 types of side dishes

From upper left

  • spinach with sesame ( taste unique due to the sesame )
  • fried tapioca with honey
  • korean pancake
  • pickled onions
  • fried anchovies with honey & chili
  • spicy garlic chives
  • kimchi
  • salad ( taste good, thumbs up )

The noodles tasted very nice. The sesame fully brought out the taste of the noodles. ( recommended )

How to eat these side dishes ?

  1. Mix well the noodles with the carrots and cucumbers in the bowl.
  2. Lay out a piece of lettuce leaf on your palm.
  3. Put a small quantity of well mixed noodles, the beef, few slices of green chilies, garlic with sambal and the side dishes on the leaf.
  4. Wrap it up and ready to eat.

Seafood pot in spicy soup. Totally different from tomyam. The soup was naturally sweet. ( The soup was reheated a few times when it turned cool. So, the prawns and mussels or clams were overcooked, the flesh shrank at last which was the only minus for the meal)

* RM139.70 for the whole meal including drinks
