Food search

If you are a 'true blue' Malaysian, I’m sure you’d agree that we live, breath and think about food at least 4 times a day or sometimes just all day long. Best places to eat a particular dish is also a very common topic of conversation - like talking about the weather in some countries!! Ha ha ha..

Other than going to 101 mall and visiting a friend’s house, I’m not familiar with Puchong area.

Later this evening, I'll be making a trip to Puchong – no not Daiso this time but to look at some lights at Top 10 Lightning (located next to Tesco). Its been said that their prices are pretty reasonable and I agree as I made a quick stopover earlier in the week.

But all I can think right now is…..What can we eat in Puchong??? I’m such a glut aren’t I?? Ha ha ha….

Do you pair and plan where you shop and eat? Guess its more the convenience than anything else - don't want to travel too far to satisfy the tummy grumbles.

Since I’m online I did a search (after all there are many expert foodies nowadays) and was hoping to find something tasty to satisfy my tummy.

Hm, maybe I didn’t type the right key words but all I found were:
Bumbubali
Puchong Yong Tau Foo
(erm, btw coincidence that its by the same blogger)

So can anyone recommend anything good to eat in Puchong?

Updated:
Ended up in Sushi King @ Tesco because MP was too hungry and couldn't wait and we didn't want to travel too far as we wanted to head back to Top10 after dinner.

I'm sure there are good food places in Puchong....just need to know exactly where!!! Now, just have to nurse the neck a little - didn't realize looking at lights can put quite a strain on the neck.

FFT revisited

Related to my earlier blurb on this cafe.

This time, DH came along and so we were able to sample more things. Don’t worry Kel don’t mind going again and try other things with you!!

Guess the main attraction for me and MP is the bubble tea drinks!! WIFI also another attraction we share – MP get to play his computer games and I am able to surf and catch up with other bloggers.

Here's what we had.



Oyster mee sua comes with bits of mushroom and carrot.

Personally would prefer it a lot more if the oysters were not deep fried - I suppose the main reason is to make up for the bulk? But absorbing the soup, its hard not to go soft and then evolve to one big gooey gunk!

Prefer the Taiwan Shinlin where they add fresh oyster to the noodles, also like their chili.



Also tried their fried chicken which is ok, slightly tender with a delicate batter compared to Taiwan Shinlin and Bob’s Chicken but of course, the serving not as big. If I have to pick, I prefer Bob's chicken.

FFT's fried chicken.


Shinlin's XXL fried chicken is much bigger but don't be fooled by the size 1/3 of it is bone and the crumbs then to separate too easily from the skin (especially if it is hot and then placed in a bag). I've tried this twice and both times I've regretted purchasing it as the meat tends to be too dry due to the over-frying. I prefer their Seafood Tempura the best!



Ordered this set as I noticed its pretty popular with other tables. Personally I think this is the best cafe dish (so far) - you can order the minced meat noodle set or the Taiwan braised meat with rice set instead. Both comes with soup, braised tau foo, braised egg and some side vegetables. Really enjoyed everything!! Was amaze how much MP really liked the braised taufo!




Of course don't forget to also order the Fried Salty Chicken, much yummier than the 'plain' Fried Chicken.


Ha ha ha...must be the added msg that makes this dish so tasty!! Ps. the curry leaves are good too. ;)


Their Taiwanese sausage was pretty tasty too. MP liked it alot.
