Passed by this place about 2-3 weeks ago, it had just open then and decided to check it out. The place is cozy and contemporary, very well renovated, looks like the owner spent quite a bit on the place. There are open air table outside or you can opt for seats inside the air conditioned restaurants. Service is also good and the owner is very friendly.

The waitress recommended their curry mee, it comes with a light curry gravy with a big spoon of sambal to mix in according to your preference. I mixed in the whole spoon and still find the curry to be a light, base is there but not thick enough, maybe this is their style. There are plenty of “tau pok” and long beans in it too.

Something interesting here is their Sambal Udang Spaghetti, sort of a fusion mix. Its spaghetti topped with a sambal sauce, prawns and some vegetables. The sambal sauce is light but very spicy to me and my tongue was burning! But I would imagine this would be very nice to people like Elaine who love spicy food :P.

I find the papaya milk to be light too but the cincau milk is quite nice. Overall, for curry mee, I would still prefer MC Curry but the environment here is good, a nice place to sit down and chat over drinks and light meal. Total damage, about RM25.00 for curry mee, sambal udang spaghetti and 2 drinks :).

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 ;).

Whenever I feel like having fried rice with something crunchy to go with it, I would like visit NST Coffeeshop in Kota Kemuning and order the Thai style Fried Rice from the “tai chow” stall there. It’s fried in spicy and sour flavour with pineapples and chili padi. It is then topped with tiny pieces of fried meat covered with batter. It cost RM4.00 per plate for 1 person.

This is a new place KC decided to try yesterday as I joined him and family for dinner. I decided to blog about this place because I find the food to be good and value for money, but expect long wait.

Its known as Restoran Ah Yeh Village Chef but owned by Restoran Po Lao Heong… not sure which is which but doesn’t matter, the food here are good. I ordered a lai yau kum fung fish (buttered fried talapia) just like what I had at Tapah recently to compare. Their version here is better with more sauce, fish are crisped with a yummy sauce to go with it, especially because they have added small dried shrimps to it.

The lady whom took the order recommended their satay yau yi (cuttlefish) which are just like the normal cuttlefish kang kung we are used to. The different thing about the one they serve here are the sauce, which I was told is being prepared by boiling potato then blending it to make the sauce. The sauce is peanuty and a nice sour taste from lime I supposed. Is really appetizing and different from the norm, high recommended.

The rest are vegetables and a tofu which is normal. Total bill came to RM54.00, not bad at all! No wonder the wait is so long as it is fully occupied!

This is a tong shui and chinese “siu sek” (light meal) place in Kota Kemuning. It serves desserts like red bean soup, mak chuk, hak loh mai, etc. A varieties of light food from toast to kuih are also available here with additional of noodles like curry mee.

I was here for tea and tried their loh bak koh with a bowl of red bean while ah Choo who was with me had a bowl of hak loh mai soup. The red bean is ok but I like the loh bak koh which is served with crispy fried dried small prawns (har mai) and shallots. Pricing is average here, ok place for tea.
