Restoran Shi Yue Tian @ Puchong, Selangor

Restoran Shi Yue Tian is a Chinese Claypot Chicken Rice restaurant that is very famous in Puchong. Their original outlet that still is in operation is in Taman Bukit Kuchai but of late, thy had also started another branch in Jalan Kenari area. This is good because that older location can be a little too far for many and parking is a huge problem there. This one is centrally located in Puchong's busy business district and parking is much more manageable. 

The Restaurant in Jalan Kenari 19A

Lots of Newspaper Write Ups

As you can see from the newspaper write ups as well as the number of TV programmes that have hosted them, it should give you an indication as to how famous these guys are. The signature dishes here are their Claypot Chicken Rice as well as a number of Steamed Soups. Nevertheless, they also do have a number of other dishes as well. 

Odoratum Chicken Soup @ RM 8.00

Peanut Lotus Root Soup @ RM 6.50

Their Coconut Chicken Soup is quite famous here but unfortunately, they were sold out for the day. So we settled for their Peanut Lotus Root Soup and Odoratum Chicken Soup. Both were good, authentic taste and they had some very unique flavours. My rating for both shall be 9/10. 

Pork Belly with Black Fungus

Claypot Chicken Rice with Lap Cheong

We also added a side dish which was their Pork Belly with Black Fungus and it was just awesome. Truly very authentic taste and the best version of this dish that I have tasted. 10/10 shall be my rating for that dish. As always, their Claypot Chicken Rice with Taiwanese Sausage was heavenly. Lovely flavours that would always linger in your mind and my rating for this shall be 9/10. 

Restoran Shi Yue Tian is a restaurant in Puchong that is famous for their Claypot Chicken Rice and Steamed Soups. The preparation is authentic and is cooked using charcoal stoves. Besides their original outlet in Taman Bukit Kuchai, you could now also visit them at their outlet in Jalan Kenari. Excellent food, reasonable prices and speedy service.

Kannaa's Bamboo Masalla Briyani @ Puchong, Selangor

This would be my second time visiting this restaurant. I first came when they had newly opened and was very impressed with their Bamboo Briyani. I had a friend with me today and he wanted to visit this restaurant. Since the food was very impressive the last time, I decided to tag along and enjoy this marvellous dish once again. 

The Restaurant Located Along Jalan KS 3A

Teh O Ais

The place was crowded as usual but luckily there was one vacant table and we quickly occupied it. Just like the last time, the waiters were speedy with their service and in a matter of minutes, our ordering was done and the drinks were served. 

Dishing Out The Bamboo Briyani

Mutton Bamboo Briyani @ RM 16.00

Their Briyani's are priced at RM 16.00 . Some may say that this is expensive but honestly, it's not. The amount of spices used and the excellent taste is something else altogether. That is why, despite the place being quite a journey for me, I am still willing to travel all the way just for this heavenly Briyani. The Mutton chunks were so perfect and it comes with some slight gravy. Even the rice was so aromatic and tasty. 10/10 would be my rating for this Bamboo Mutton Briyani and I am truly glad that the taste has been consistent. 

Mint Chutney

Curry

In order to enjoy this Briyani, the Mint Chutney and Curry is a must. That would give it a moist overall texture to the rice and the mint chutney just takes the taste to a all new heights. Both were awesome and the mint chutney specifically deserves a 10/10. 

Looking for some good Bamboo Briyani? Then you have got to try the preparation at Kanna's Bamboo Masalla Briyani that is located in Puchong. It's my second time here and I am glad that the taste and quality remains consistent. Excellent food and the crowd speaks for itself. A must try place for Briyani lovers.

Good Taste Restaurant @ Puchong, Selangor

Good Taste Restaurant is a chain of Chinese Restaurants that is located in a number of places in the Klang Valley. Despite their geographical presence, I have never visited any of their outlets till this evening. While driving around in Bandar Puteri Puchong, we spotted this restaurant. The crowd seemed to be good and we decided to visit them for dinner. 

The Restaurant In Bandar Puteri Puchong

Their outlet in Bandar Puteri Puchong is located along Jalan Puteri 2/4. This restaurant opens from breakfast till dinner and round the clock, there is always some kind of crowd there which is a very good indicator that the food has got to be good. As for this restaurant, the main dining are is air-conditioned and they also have a small open air dining area, perhaps for smokers and this is located at the very front, where the food preparation is being made. So, if you want to sit in this area, do note that it can be quite warm due to the heat coming from the kitchen. 

Their menu was quite impressive covering their signature dish, Wantan Mee and some other noodle preparations. Besides the Wantan Mee, their other top sellers are their Char Siew and Siew Yuk. Both meats are in high demand here. Being in a pricey neighbourhood like Bandar Puteri Puchong, I felt that their prices were quite reasonable. 

Iced Coffee (Big) @ RM 3.40

Cutlery

The good thing is that all that you might need like cutlery, sauces and tissue were neatly placed on all tables. This is good as the waiters can now concentrate serving the dishes instead of running around trying to fetch these items. In a matter of minutes, our drink which is a tall glass of Iced Coffee was served. It was extremely good and reminded me of the coffee that we used to get at the old Hainanese establishments. Just perfect and it was really deep bodied. My rating for this drink shall be 10/10. 

Platter of Char Siew & Siew Yuk @ RM 13.30

Chili Dip Sauce

Oh, just look at their Char Siew and Siew Yuk. They were so juicy and tasty. Both meats were so perfect that we enjoyed every bit of it. The fat and meat were so balanced and each did not overpower the other. So amazingly good. Both deserves a rating of 9/10. Similarly, their Chilli Dip Sauce was excellent too. Not too thick or diluted and the flavours were strong with a hint of lime. Just perfect and this too shall get a rating of 9/10 from me. 

Dry Curry Chicken Wantan Mee (Small) @ RM 8.90

Complimentary Clear Soup

Pickled Chilli

Since I had already ordered a platter of Char Siew & Siew Yuk, I decided to go for their Curry Chicken Wantan Mee instead, just to get an opportunity to taste their Curry Chicken too. This was priced at RM 8.90 for the small portion and it came with a small bowl of clear soup. Their Wantan Mee was so good. Seriously so soft and springy and they were generous with the sauces as well. Their Curry Chicken had some lovely flavours and the blended gravy and sauces totally gave this dish such a unique taste. Really an excellent preparation and my rating for this dish shall be 9/10. Their Clear Soup was good too and for that, I would give it 8/10. 

Fried Dumplings @ RM 7.90

Their Fried Dumplings were pretty good as well. Despite being deep fried, the dumplings did not have any trace of oil and it was served hot and crispy which the inside was juicy. You might not even need the dip sauce as it was so good on it's own. 8/10 shall be my rating for this preparation. 

Another good place in Bandar Puteri Puchong to have Wantan Mee would be Good Taste Restaurant that is located along Jalan Puteri 2/4. Their Wantan Mee is so good and you have got to try their Char Siew and Siew Yuk as well. For me, they were just heavenly. Besides Bandar Puteri Puchong, they do have a number of outlets located across the Klang Valley.

Freond Tavern @ Puchong, Selangor

We visited Freond Tavern a couple of weeks back. Having been impressed by the food during our last visit, we decided to drop by again for dinner today. This time around, we were here much earlier and were hoping to try more dishes compared to the last time. 

Some Ongoing Promotions

Indoor Dining Space

This restaurant is located in Block G of Setia Walk, Puchong. Parking is convenient and if you know the block number, you could park near the lift that brings you up to this restaurant. There are many ongoing promotions that they have but these are mostly suitable to larger groups. Do note that this is a pub cum restaurant but the overall ambiance is lovely and it good for families. 

5 Mugs Carlsberg Draft @ RM 60.00

Coca Cola @ RM 9.00

There was an ongoing promotion for beers and since we had some friends that were in the mood for some beers, they decided to go for this. RM 60.00 for 5 mugs of ice cold Carlsberg Draft surely is a good deal. My can of Coca Cola however was priced at RM 9.00 . Well, being a pub, I can't complaint as they would always encourage you to go for alcoholic beverages. The selection of beer and wine that they have here was quite impressive and they had many promotions for beers which seemed like an amazing deal. So, if you're a beer lover, do take advantage of these promotions. 

Grilled Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce @ RM 20.90

Grilled Pork Tenderloin @ RM 22.90

Just like the last visit, their Grilled Chicken Chop was truly excellent. The cuts were good with and they were really tender. The accompanying Black Pepper Sauce was really good too. Their sides are quite standard across their dishes and I would say that the Fries were crisp and good. My rating for this dish shall be 9/10. Similarly, their Grilled Pork Tenderloin was excellent as well. Despite being Pork, the meat was so tender and it came with almost no fat. Definitely one of the good Pork Tenderloin dishes that I have recently eaten. Again, 9/10 shall be my rating for this dish. 

Grilled Lamb Cutlets @ RM 22.80

Salmon Fillet @ RM 30.90

Their Grilled Lamb Cutlets were truly divine. They were done according to the old school style, a style that is slowly disappearing in Malaysia and for me, it was like a dream come true. Being able to taste something this good after a long time was indeed satisfying. Prices were very reasonable and they came with a dash of mint sauce and mashed potatoes. 10/10 would be my rating for this. Just as good as the earlier dish was their Salmon Fillet. Quality cuts were served and the accompanying sauce went so well with the fish. The fish itself was so juicy and heavenly. 9/10 shall be my rating for this. 

Chicken Wings @ RM 16.80

As the last dish, we went for their Chicken Wings. Three full wings with drummers were served on a platter, smoked using BBQ Sauce and it was reasonably priced at RM 16.80 . Taste wise, it was good as well and my rating for this shall be 8/10. 

Bill For The Evening

For some good Western Food in Puchong, Freond Tavern would be my choice of restaurant. All the dishes that we had this evening were good and their prices are very reasonable. Whether it's Fish, Chicken, Lamb or even Pork, they do it extremely well. A must try for Western food lovers. 

Address: G-3A-G, Block G, Setia Walk, Persiaran Wawasan. 47160 Puchong, Selangor.

Freond Tavern @ Puchong, Selangor

Freond Tavern is a restaurant cum pub that is located in Block G, Setia Walk. I was told that this place does some really amazing Western Food. Being a fan of Western cuisine, we decided to drop by for dinner this evening. 

Indoor Seating Area

The place had a lovely ambiance. Unlike most pub cum cafes that seem to be quite noisy, this place was more suited for families who are mainly looking for some good food along with some drinks. The entire indoor dining area was very nicely designed and it had a very welcoming feeling to it. The outdoor seating area is designed more like a watering hole. For those who are looking for wine, they do have an amazing collection of wines as well. 

The above are just a few pages from their menu. They had a wide selection of dishes ranging from local to Western cuisine. Prices seemed very reasonable to me. In fact, I would say that they were very cheap. Do note that although this place is opened till midnight daily, the cut off time for the kitchen is 10.30 pm. 

Coca Cola @ RM 9.00

Lemon Tea @ RM 8.00

Their customer service was awesome and the waiters were quick to attend to customer's needs. As for their drinks, I would say that their Lemon Tea was good. Made using quality tea and heavily infused with Lemon, it was truly refreshing and I shall rate this at 8/10. 

Chicken Chop in Black Pepper Sauce @ RM 20.90

Pork Tenderloin in Black Pepper Sauce @ RM 22.90

We had ordered some dishes that we shared among the two of us. All their Western sets comes with Fries and some Salad. Portions were good and definitely a pretty good deal for the price. Their Chicken Chop was really nice. The meat was tender, grilled just right and the black pepper sauce complimented the dish really well. My rating for this shall be 9/10. Similarly, their Pork Tenderloin was amazing. I wonder how the meat was so soft and tender. I believe they may have marinated the meat with beer. Once again, it was an excellent preparation and I would definitely give this 10/10. 

Lamb Cutlets @ RM 22.80

Their Lamb Cutlets were another marvelous preparation. The taste of the lamb was so good and it reminded me of the Lamb Chops that we used to get back in the 80's. A long lost taste that is almost impossible to find these days. Beautiful cuts with almost no bone served with mint sauce. My rating for this shall be 10/10 as well. 

For some amazing Western food in Puchong, I would recommend Freond Tavern. Each and every dish that we had tasted was amazing and the meat was so tender and juicy. The highlight was definitely their Lamb Cutlets. Very reasonable prices, excellent customer service and heavenly food.
