Dubu which means tofu in Korean, is a popular ingredient in many of the dishes at the eatery and is also the inspiration behind the name of the dance move.

“Customers are lining up outside Dubu Dubu restaurants to try one of our signature dishes, the Soondubu Jigae (spicy soft tofu stew) which is on sale for a rock bottom price.

“The Soondubu Jigae deal must have hit the right spot among Malaysians who love this dish because orders keep pouring in till we finish for the day,” says Wong.

According to Wong, Malaysians enjoy the wholesome taste of rich Korean food. He says, “It appeals to people from all walks of life and our customers usually order a few different dishes which they share with each other and this results in a very communal experience.

“At Dubu Dubu, we take pride in serving our customers with everything of a certain quality, so people can have a satisfying meal, made from the freshest ingredients and cooked in an authentic style.

“We want to build trust with our customers so when they leave Dubu Dubu, they keep coming back.”
