Soon Fatt, Bandar Puchong Jaya

The minute you walk into soon Fatt, you will gauge what they serve easily as the visuals on the walls are very explicit. All you need to do, is to point at the pictures if you cannot communicate with the waiters there. For me, there was no such problem as the foreign workers there spoke what I would say is a decent amount of Cantonese.

I like this concept -clean & ala 'self service'

We ordered herbal tea (RM2.50 each) and it is worthwhile to note that the drinks here aren’t too sweet.

The salt herbs chicken costs us RM28 for half a chicken. I love the salty taste of the fresh chicken as would highly recommend this dish as the tasty gravy went very well with rice.

Mini wok herbs frog (RM25) -  the tender pieces of frog legs served with lots of flavourful gravy was simply marvellous. Love it!

This is baby siew pak choy (RM10) – I would say that the portion was big and the crunchiness of the vege is what I like most about this dish.

Thai style chicken feet (RM12) -  with the perfect combo of spice and lime, this dish was indeed heavenly.

Stadt, Bandar Puteri Puchong

We lost my way in Puchong all because we decided to give the GPS a day off…and the outcome of it was that we ended up at Stadt, a restaurant serving German cuisine. Think German food…..well, you don’t need to think too hard to get to 2 items i.e sausages and of course, good ole fatty pork!

 

We ordered 4 drinks :- Choco cabana (RM8.90) – reminded me of the oldie Copacabana . This is a combination of chocolate sauce, fresh banana and full cream milk. Be warned, however, that this drink is only suitable for those who love and crave for chocolate…not me, though, as this drink is very very ‘chocolate-y’.

 

Green goblin (RM8.90)  –a concoction of apples and mint. The teiseirre  minty drink had a sourish feel  and I loved it. What makes it even better is the fact that unlike pure apple juice, this drink doesn’t turn ‘brown’ (oxidise) with time.

 

 

Cherry bubble (RM6.90) – a  mixture of  teiserre vanilla and cherries topped up with Sprite. Well, this, I was told, is some sort of Italian soda.

 

Vanilla shake (RM7.90) – wow! This was awesome. The thick, whipped vanilla was simply to die for.

 

This is German salad (RM12.90)  our appetiser. I love the presentation of this salad, with its 3 huge onion rings on top! The raw onion gave the salad an extra ummph as the pungent onion went well with the sourish dressing. Do note that this salad is not for those health freaks out there as it was filled with lots of sinfully fat pork skin which had been deep fried. Yummy!

 

 

Combo mixed sausages (RM48.90) – with 5 different types of sausages in a large platter along with some mashed potatoes and some coleslaw , this was indeed the perfect food for any sausage lover out there.

 

 

Pork knuckle (RM41.90) – crispy on the outside – even better than any siew yoke (roasted pork) you can find in any Chinese restaurant! The inside was juicy and succulent. I loved every bite of this pork knuckle which was served with mustard sauce  so much  that I ordered one to bring home for dinner.

 

 

For flawless German food in a great ambience...it has to be Stadt.

Puchong Seafood Restaurant

Nestled amongst the busy rows of shoplots along Jalan Bandar Puchong is this restaurant that has a slightly faded signboard. If you are coming from Bandar Puteri , Puchong Seafood is just before Tesco.

I arrive one hot afternoon and discovered that this place has no air conditioning. I chose the table (mind you they have HUGE tables)  closest to the cashier as there was a ceiling fan turning vigourously  right above the table.

The waitress spoke Mandarin with a different accent. I could immediately tell that she was not a local. Anyway, we had a look at photographs  their ‘star’ dishes  which were proudly displayed along the walls of the restaurant. We ordered our drinks – watermelon & honey dew (RM3 each). What I really loved about this was that the fact that they were not too sweet.

The 4 dishes we ordered were:-

Butter prawn (RM35) – indeed a very good choice. I would rate this as the best butter prawn I’ve had in a long, long time. Fresh, succulent prawns will always be something that I welcome. Plus the fact that the butter was cooked into crispy strips that you can actually eat with rice…….how perfect! In fact, we ate everything up (minus the shell that is) .

This is something very unique and was highly recommended by the waitress who took our order – fat chicken steamed with lap cheong (chinese sausage) and salted fish  (RM18).  I did enquire what fat chicken was and she told me that it merely refers to normal chicken i.e not the kampong chicken variety. I’ll describe the taste as slightly salty, yet very tasty and truly out of this world. The chicken pieces were very tender too.

Marmite spare ribs (RM15) – this was slightly tough and requires some effort to chew it.  Marmite always has a bitter taste, but when cooked with the right amount of honey and sugar gives this dish an awesome taste.

Stir fried sweet potato leaves (RM10) – this was a simple dish, stir fried with garlic. The wok hei  was definitely excellent. In case you are wondering what I am babbling about, wok hei is a yardstick for judging a chef’s ability in stir frying.

 From where I was sitted, I could hear the ‘sound ‘of the the stove and the busy chef cooking away. I definitely think  this restaurant is a truly great find!
