Doma Korean Cuisine – Marinated Prawn Set with Soft Tofu Stew
After close to two years, I am back at Doma Korean Cuisine. Located in R&F Mall, which now has more dining options, Doma Korean Cuisine remains my top choice for high-quality Korean food in Johor Bahru.
Every dish I had here is worth ordering, including the Beef Tartare BibimBap, Soy Sauce Marinated Crab, Soft Tofu Stew, and Grilled Pork Belly.
Check out my past visits (and dishes) here!
The restaurant looks just as I remembered it. It was a weekday afternoon, hence less crowd.
The menu has changed slightly. Full menu can be seen here.
The sets are highly affordable given the generous portion. The stews, which can be ordered separately, are also in the sets.

The banchan is impressive. The amount is substantial even for a solo diner, and in great variety. There are the spicy kimchi (chilled, fresh, and crunchy), seaweed salad, seasoned sausages, broccoli, and soybean sprouts, to name a few.
This time round, I went for the Soy Sauce Marinated Prawn Rice Set RM55.
It comes with six tiger prawns, which are succulent yet firm with a bite, marinated in soy sauce, chilli, and sesame seeds. Each prawn meat has a delicate sweetness, without the brininess.
Gloves are provided to peel the prawns. See how big it is between my fingers.
Even the rice is outstanding – Pearly and sticky with a soft, chewy texture.
Neither did the chef skimp on the seaweed garnishing. Literally half the bowl is covered with this savoury goodness. I also added some to the stew for better taste.
With every order of the set, there is a choice for stew – Soybean Paste Stew, Kimchi Stew or Soft Tofu Stew.
I ordered the Soft Tofu Stew again which is my favourite. It brims with ingredients, like soft shell crab, enoki mushroom, egg, clams, many prawns, and tofu – consistent from last visit.
There is absolutely nothing to dislike at Doma Korean Cuisine. I can’t wait to return.
