At night time, the entire “chow yang SS2″ area turned into a popular makan place for PJ folks as most family opt to eat out on the weekend for rice and dishes kind of place. One of the mainly choices here is the Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant.

The dishes are quite authentic except that they do not serve pork here. There are quite a range of choices for ala carte and they also provide set meals for RM6 up each.

I ordered a small seafood tomyam (RM15), squid fried with chilies (RM12) and a chicken fried with basil (RM12) for my dinner. The tomyam portion is good, serve in a charcoal heated pot with a generous amount of seafood (squid, prawns and fish) in it. It is a quite sour but not very spicy, which may be a good thing for folks like me after having too much spicy food on my last trip to Phuket recently.

The squid fried with chilies is nice, again taste is good, not too spicy but the squid are really good, soft and tender. The basil fried chicken is ok and goes well with my rice. For those who love spicy food, I think you will need to tell them to make it thai spicy standard for you .

We had some chores to do at Puchong and ah John-san was kind enough to take us for breakfast while we waited for Miharu’s car tinting to be done. So, he brought us to this place in Bandar Puteri known as the “928 Nice to Eat Food Centre”… haha… what a name but I guess they are just really trying to tell us something.. haha..

This place is located just after the badminton hall and before the new shops. Next to it is what KC described in his tweet as a super clean market and I must agreed. The building is a combination of food court, wet market and some shops and the toilet is really clean when I used it.

Anyway, the varities of hawkers food here is plenty with the usual wantan mee, yau char kwai, mix rice, porridge, noodles… just a lot to mentioned. I didn’t managed to try all but we just ordered a mix pork porridge and a wantan mee with white chicken.

The porridge is not bad actually but the only thing is the deep fried pork intestines have this strong oily taste in it, but it was really churncy though. The wantan mee according to Miharu is ok la… so I guess the food here is not bad but the plus point is that there’s a lot of choices to choose

Anyway, thank you to John-san for taking us there to makan

The last time I tried to come here just 15 mins before their closing time, I was informed that they had sold out for that weekday night! That just show this place is so popular and the night I was here, the place was packed and we had to wait for a table.

The menu is very standard, just claypot chicken rice in its original form… either you have it plain, add salted fish, add chinese sausages, add egg or with extra chicken. I think that is the way it should really be with speciality store like this, no point have so many fancy options and dilute the original dish. The claypot chicken rice here are all still cooked with charcoal and that is how claypot chicken rice should be cooked too!

A small chicken rice starts at RM7.00 and the big one meant for 2 pax starts at RM13.00 with the various options mentioned above. A varieties of steamed soup is offered all flat at RM5 for a small pot good for 1 or 2 person to share in my opinion. There are also various vegetables and drinks to offer.

This is how ordering here works, once you get a table, the workers place empty plates and cutleries on your table and a menu. They will only take your drinks order on the table. Once you have decided what you want to eat, then you proceed to the counter at the kitchen, let the lady know your table number and what you want to order.

While waiting for our orders, Ah Fei was providing feedback telling me that I need to update my blog more.. haha… ok ok.. noted, will try to update more ya!

We took 2 big and 1 small claypot chicken rice, add with added salted fish and sausages. We share each pot with all 5 of us and funny thing is each pot tasted different. I think the kitchen must be rushing for the crowd… cause the first small pot was just ok, the second pot was good but the third pot is quite burnt.

Usually when its a bit burnt its fine and we would purposely want the “fan chew” or burnt rice as its crunchy and nice but the rice is not burnt harden, still soft but have this strong burnt taste on the third pot.

Anyway, other than the third pot, judging from the second pot, the rice does not stick and not too dry either so I guess that is why the shop is so packed! I didn’t try the soup, so can’t comment on that. But anyway, thumbs up to the shop for maintaining the good taste and authentic style of claypot chicken rice.
