Pun Chun have always been a famous restaurant for travelers to stop and have a fantastic meals of duck drumstick noodles, wan tan mee, yam puff etc. in the small crosstown of Bidor in Perak. Recently, Pun Chun had opened up a branch in Kota Kemuning in Shah Alam known as the Pun Chun Noodles House.

Just like the original place in Bidor, they sell the famous chicken biscuits “kai chai peng” and all sort of biscuits here too.

I ordered the duck drumstick noodles (RM6.50 – small) and their weekend special which is curry noodles (RM4.50). They also have a variety of wan tan mee, wan tan, etc. I forgot to check if they have the same yummy yam puff here as well.

Anyhow, the drum drumstick noodles is ok but somehow the taste of the soup and the duck still doesn’t taste as good as the one in Bidor but still good . The curry noodles is alright, not fantastic but still yummy. But one thing, the tea is not really good but overall, ok place to go and you can see the crowd is pouring in .

Located on Jalan SS14/1, Tien Kee Soup & Porridge is quite low profile, air conditioned and closed up in this quiet row of shops. I happened to be passing Subang Jaya today and thought I gave it a try, its been open for a while and featured on other blogs and newspapers quite a bit.

From the name, looks like porridge and soup are their specialty. Quite interesting, this shop seems to have a mix of Teow Chew cooking which is the porridge and Hakka cooking like Hakka abacus, braised pork, etc. The porridge looks interesting with fishes but a bit costly, starts from RM8 for the cheapest. Anyhow I think their prices have gone up a bit comparing to prices I read from other blogs.

Anyway, I tried their Hakka Abacus, yam with braised pork and a bowl of pork bittergound soup. The abacus “suen pun chee” is RM6.00 per plate and I must say its very good, not too sticky, can taste the yam moderately and nice. Yam with braised pork is ok, quite normal at RM12.00 for quite a big plate. The soup is very good, simple with bittergound, pork, tofu, liver, etc. in it at RM6.50.

I also tried their long bean rice, RM2.00 for a small bowl (listed as big bowl in menu, I wonder how small is the small one), its not bad with long beans, pork, dried shrimps and mushroom in it, but I find it a bit costly, better stick to white rice next time!

They also have things like yam rice, vinegar pig trotter, hakka braised pork with black fungus, etc. There are a lot of fish soup and porridges available too but can be quite costly. From the pix it looks like they put the whole fish in e.g. promphet fish porridge at RM16.

Not to say cheap to me, but at least the taste is good and still worth trying .

Fancy for some nice and rich curry noodles? One of my favourite and I would rate it at top 5 is MC Curry Mee at Taman Seri Muda in Shah Alam. The owner used to operate a canteen in a factory but decided to switch business because of problem employing staff. The noodles is only available at this place in the morning and afternoon, at night they moved to coffeeshop near Public Bank next to Kesas. Since Micol asked for the address after I MMS her, check address at the bottom .

I ordered a big size one, which surprisingly still cost RM3.80!!! What value for money as what is inside includes noodles of your choice, long beans, chicken, taupok, etc. The best part is not just value but it tasted very rich, superbly yummy. A squeeze of lime on your sambal before adding it to the curry mee is a must!

What makes the noodles good is the curry base itself, they are particular about the ingredients used and all these recipes originate from Penang (I actually knew the family ). So if you are in Shah Alam, give it a try, worth the trouble .
