Penang One @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

Penang One @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

Quite some time not back to my hometown, the paradise of food. I was started to miss and craving for the foods there, Penang styled curry mee with coagulated blood, duck egg char kuey teow, Penang laksa and Loh Bak. But somehow I found difficulty in looking good and authentic Penang foods in Kuala Lumpur.

Until one day I did blog-walking as usual, I found many peoples were shouting for this Penang One in Puchong. I decided to give it a try!

Easy to catch people's attention by its sharp colours.

The interior design of the cafe. The owner creatively decorates the wall with Street names of those famous foods originated from.The owner claims that all the foods are imported from Penang daily, to retain the true flavour!

The cafe is crowded during lunch hour! Full house, I have to queue up and wait to be seated.

(front) Soya Bean Milk Ice  豆奶  RM3.50
(back) Hong Kong Milk Tea Ice 港式奶茶  RM4.50

Siya Bean Milk Ice is quite normal I would say. But the Hong Kong Milk Tea is nice, with the strong tea fragrance. Unlike those bubble milk tea, this HK milk tea comes with appropriate sweetness.

Yam Cake 芋头糕  RM5

The yam cake is soft yet springy, the yam is milled till very fine, makes the texture of the yam cake very smooth. The crushed peanut and dried shrimps on the top enhance the crunchiness. The yam cakes is nice to eat with the black sweet sauce.

Hokkien Dumpling 福建肉粽  RM5.50

Dumplings festival is approaching, this Hokkien Dumpling reminds me my mum's homemade dumplings!

Loh Bak 五香  RM11.90

The taste of the loh bak is almost the same to the Penang one! Crispy and nice to dip it with the chilies sauce or gravy.  Even the thick and sticky gravy is the same.

Duck Egg Chay Koay Teow 鸭蛋炒粿条  RM9.90

Despite the portion is rather small, but a plate of authentic duck egg char koay teow definitely satisfies my taste bud. Fresh and big prawns added, thumbs up!

Curry Mee 特色咖哩面  RM8.50

This is the food I miss the most. Hard to get curry mee with coagulated blood in KL. The fragrance from coconut milk, long beans, tau bok, everything is like in Penang.

Hokkien Mee  北马福建面  RM7.90

Hokkien Mee means prawn noodles in Penang, where most of the people from middle and south Malaysia cannot understand. Ingredients they used are exactly the same with Penang styled Hokkien Mee. I must praise their pork ribs, very soft and flavourful.

Freshly Made Puchong Yong Tau Fu @ Batu 14, Kampung Baru Puchong, Puchong

Freshly Made Puchong Yong Tau Fu @ Batu 14, Kampung Baru Puchong

On the previous post, I actually said that the mother of Yong Tau Fu was from Ampang. However, there are many attempts from other Yong Tau Fu stalls around the country to do variations and improvements to get over Ampang one. I get to know this Puchong Yong Tau Foo from one of the Singapore TV show. They feature up for their daily fresh made Yong Tau Fu on-the-spot, which means that you can pick up any tau fu and vegetables from the table, and your selection of tau fu and vegetables will be stuffed immediately before served on your table.

This place is kindly hidden and have less landmark compare to other place. Its located at the area of Puchong New Village. Situated at a junction connecting Jalan Puchong Batu 14 and Jalan Tembusu, opposite of a primary school SK Puchong. 

Various choices-- Fu Zhok, Tau Bok, bitter gourd, eggplant, chilies, lady fingers and many others.

Put your choices into the colourful basket and proceed to next station.

Hand in your selection to any waiter there, they will ask if you need any extra fish balls or fried dumplings.

Stuff in the fresh fish paste on the spot after placed the order.

Deep Fried version of Yong Tau Fu 

Was served piping hot from the kitchen. Crispy and crunchy, even nicer to dip in some their special made sweet sauce or chili sauce, or to be extra special to mix two up.

Yong Tau Fu soup version  

Don't underrate this soup version ya, although the soup broth looks clear, indeed it is very powerful after you taste it. The leaves of pucuk manis give extra sweetness to the soup. As you could see by your naked eyes on the picture above, the kitchen actually very generous in stuffing big portion of fish paste. Very filling and a satisfactory one.

Every pieces of Yong Tau Fu cost RM1.20/piece

Wan Zhai Kao RM1.20  

Besides normal white rice, they also provide chee cheong fan, curry mee, dried mee and this "wan zhai kao", a famous street dish from southern Malaysia. The wan zai kao is made from rice flour, just like a steam version of cai tau kueh, served with pickled radish and the sweet sauce. Surprise to find this street food in KL.

Paper Wrapped Chicken RM3.60  

As many other Yong Tau Fu in Ampang and Serdang did, Puchong Yong Tau Fu also provides wrapped chicken. The taste is not much different from Ampang and Serdang's. Ginger, sesame oil and oyster sauce play the main role. Good to go with white rice as it is quite juicy.

Restaurant De Hunan 湖南湘菜馆 @ Bandar Puteri Puchong, Puchong

Restaurant De Hunan 湖南湘菜馆 @ Bandar Puteri Puchong, Puchong

De Hunan lives up to its name, which brings the truly authentic Hunan's cuisine into Malaysia. Hunan is a province in China, which is famous with their hot and spicy delights. The new outlet in Bandar Puchong is their second and latest branch in Klang Valley, due to the overwhelming good responds from the crowd. I was lucky enough to be invited to try their genuine Huinan's cuisine on Wednesday night. Thanks for the owner and all foodies made it an enjoyable night. =)

The restaurant comprises two storeys, so it would be very spacious to cater a big crowd, so don't worry to get a table on weekends.

Some China and Hunan's elements are infused into the restaurant by placing a China "Shan Swee" (mountain and river) oil painting on the wall and the using of wooden dining tables and chairs.

An overview of second floor, besides public dining areas, the restaurant also provides few private rooms for meetings or family gathering, so that diners can enjoy their meal comfortably and without interruption.

This is one of the private room, with marble table and chairs, which provides extra elegant to it. Perfect for private hang out session.

Talking back to the foods, De Hunan is the ultimate destination for diners seeking distinctive and different choices, the place where we treasure the fresh food and mouth-watering Hunan classics here. The chef is very strict in picking ingredients, most of the ingredients come from its origin in China. Staying true to traditions, only the finest and freshest ingredients are used to create Hunan's cuisine.

The complimentary appetizers were served before the meal, includes beancurd skin, Japanese cucumbers, pig ears and seaweed. 

All the appetizers were served in cold, but the spiciness of it definitely warmed my stomach since the very beginning. I specially like the marinated Japanese cucumber, spicy and sour, but indeed it was refreshing and crunchy to munch on.

Sliced pig ears is a rare appetizer to me, but I was quite surprised to its crunchy texture, very porkilicious. Not a pork lover? Feel free to try on their seaweed strips, fresh with the taste from the sea.

Hot Spicy Fresh Frog on Sizzling Stone "Hunan" Style
石锅生猛鲜田鸡

The hot spicy fresh frog was served piping hot, renders it looks more tempting with the boiling gravy on the sizzling stone. The chillies used are imported from China, so look out with its spiciness. The frog flesh is extremely tender and flavourful with the hot gravy clinging on it. The dish would not be perfect without a steamed white rice.

Stir Fried "Beijing" Cabbage
平锅北京包菜

The cabbage looks common, but it is very delicious with a hint of spiciness from the dried chillies. Very well cooked to retain its crunchiness of the vegetables.

Hunan "Yuen & Yang" Style Fish Head
招牌鸳鸯鱼头

The Yuen Yang Style Fish Head is made by two distinct cooking methods, combines two flavours in a dish, sounds like very worth for the price. Only the freshest fish as well as natural ingredients like chilies, gingers, garlics and spring onion are used in perfect the dish. Therefore the fish is tasted good and smooth, suit to my liking as a fish lover.

The fish head is also served with home made La Mian, to avoid wastage of every single drop of the spicy gravy. The gravy contains the essence of the fish, therefore immerse the noodles into it before eat to get the flavour from the sea.

"Uncle Mao's" Special Braised Pork
毛家红烧肉

I was attracted by its appealing presentation at the first glance, opened up my flavours simply looking at it, cannot resist myself from savouring it, without bothering my-growing-bigger-stomach. The chef must be very skilful in making it, or perhaps the long hours braising makes the fat drips away while all the marinade flavour is sealed right in.

Stir Fried Cubed Beef on Flat Pot
平锅牛仔粒

The beef cubes are cooked just right, remains tender and juicy, without any sense of rubbery. The spicy flavour is simply tantalizing and goes well with my white rice.

Fried Spicy Deer Meat in Special Hot Stones Style
特色石头烹鹿肉

The deer meat is cooked well, makes it not gamey at all. Some portion of greens are added into the dish to balance up its nutrients. The spiciness is mild, compared to some of the others, the level of mine, keep the stomach warm without agitating it.

Pork Spare Ribs and Corn Soup
玉米炖排骨瓦罐炜汤

A very homey cooking soup indeed, the long hours cooking renders it tastes sweet and flavourful, essence from spare ribs and corns. Good to keep my fussy stomach happy.

Stewed Beancurd with Green Chives
韭菜焖豆腐

The combination of beancurd with green chives introduces my taste bud to a new Hunan's flavour. The beancurd is silky smooth, the soup with a hint of green chives is mixed and matched well with my rice.

Sauteed Prawns in Hunan Claypot Style
干锅馋嘴虾

The prawn is first deep fried into golden brown and sauteed with Hunan Chilies sauce, to make sure that every prawns are clinging with the flavourful and tangy hot sauce. The chef made a cut on the back of the prawn to convenience the diners, so eating prawn with shell is no longer a tough job.

Spicy Skewered Prawns in "Hunan" Special Style
 道地湖南串烧虾

Another prawn delight to satisfy the taste bud of prawn lovers. Various spices are used to enhance the flavour of the the prawn and establish the identity of Hunan's delights. The prawn is skewered to grill until crispy, so that I could finish the prawn from its head to the end.

Baked Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk
咸蛋黄焗南瓜 

The pumpkin slices is clothed with salted egg yolk, deep fried into attractive golden brown. Surprisingly, the pumpkin is not too salty, I wonder how the chef remain the fragrance of the salted egg while eliminating the saltiness from it, must be a piece of art from an experienced chef I bet.

Beside those hot and spicy dishes, De Hunan also has an amazing array of both hot and cold, traditional and modern selection of desserts to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Home made Potato Pancake
香甜土豆饼

One of the recommended dessert is the homemade potato pancake, the potato is mashed and deep-fried and condensed milk is served along. Crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside, it's perfect snack with condensed-milk-dipped. The condensed milk is served separately and optional, so that diner can adjust the sweetness to their liking.

Pumpkin and Sago Dessert Soup
黄金珍珠露

Pumpkin and sago dessert is another healthy dessert. I like the natural yellow colour derived from the pumpkin itself. The soup itself is very smooth and fine in texture, the pumpkin puree and sago simply make it more interesting.

I should admit that I left De Hunan with a bellyful of contentment, I truly enjoy the authenticity and genuine flavour all the way from Hunan, because  De Hunan dishes up great tasting meals in quite generous portion as a mark of quality and value. I was definitely pampered with ample choices of mouth-watering Hunan cuisine on that night.

QQ SnowMix 雪花鲜 @ Bandar Puteri Puchong, Puchong

QQ SnowMix 雪花鲜 @ Bandar Puteri Puchong, Puchong

Shadowing the fever of Taiwanese desserts, we were going to hunt this QQ SnowMix at Puchong after having famous Yong Tau Fu nearby. Generally, QQ SnowMix has 2 branches located in Sri Petaling and Puchong respectively. The branch in Puchong is comparatively more spacious and can accommodate more customers.

The outlook of the shop. RM 1 looks attractive? Yeah, you can get a drink with RM 1 with any purchase of desserts during weekdays from 1pm - 8pm.

Outdoor seats and also smoking area.

Indoor seats with air-conditioned, looks colourful and cheerful. Indeed enlighten my Sunday afternoon.

The dessert items and prices are clearly listed out above the counter.

Besides desserts, QQ SnowMix also provides some Taiwan street snacks like Tempura, Taiwanese Salty Crispy Chicken, Taiwanese Egg and Chicken Roll, Let's check it out!

Tempura  RM5.90

Compared to the bigger and longer size one by Shihlin Street, QQ SnowMix rather makes the Tempura into shorter and biting size, much more handy i think. Quite nice to have it as snack while have a afternoon chat with friends, crispy and chewy!

Taiwanese Egg and Hotdog Roll  RM4.50

Taiwanese Style Fried Chicken  RM6.50

Taiwanese Sweet Potato Stick  RM2.50

Taiwanese Egg and Chicken Roll  RM5.50

Taipei Big Big Bowl  RM24.90

The biggest Taiwanese dessert with various topping i have ever seen. Normally, you will only get 3 toppings from Taiwanese Dessert Shop out there. But, you can have all toppings in a giant bowl in QQ SnowMix, 12 toppings in total. It is even comprised of three types of ices- grass jelly ice, taro ice and soya ice. Run out of ideas to have a special birthday celebration for your friend? This Big Big Bowl surely warranties him/her a big surprise!

Grass Jelly Ice + Taro Ice + Soya Ice + 12 Toppings

Best Seller Grass Jelly Ice Series  RM6.90

Taro Ice Series  RM6.50

I was attracted by the colours of the ice and a bit curious about the yellow colour layer. No prize for guessing ok. lol. The yellow colour layer on the top is actually Taiwanese pudding, with little aroma of fresh egg. The purple colour ice is taro ice, very rarely offered by other desserts house. A nice creation, taste and smell like ice cream.

Grass Jelly Ice Series  RM6.50

Sea Amber Jelly Ice + Pearl  RM6.90

This sea amber jelly ice will sure indulge lady customers! Very refreshing and cool. The jelly on the top is very smooth, the Gula Melaka's syrup gives some extra fragrant and a not excessive sweetness to the ice. Nice nice!

Lemon Jade Jelly Ice  RM5.50

I bet this is another lady-favourite-dessert. Lemon jade ice is sweet and sour in nature which always preferred by ladies. Once again, very refreshing one with the honey and lime juice.

Douhua Series + Pearl  RM4.90

This is the combination of fire and ice, lol. Ices on the top of a warm sweet beancurd, a creative one indeed.
