Sin Hup Kee Restaurant.@Puchong.

Bandar Puteri in Puchong is a real melting pot for many types of cuisine and pastry.

Many restaurants come and go and I noticed that only the strong and the best establishment survived the onslaught. 

Sin Hup Kee Restaurant which has it's roots in Ipoh, Perak is joining in the fray with Hon Kee Porridge, Fu Kua Thong, Bak Kut Teh , Teow Chew porridge....etc as neighbors. 


My daughter Mindy invited us to join her for dinner as her hubby Sam was in Singapore.

The place is new, clean and fuss-free but communication with their waiters was real bad !


Parking is OK.

CHICKEN HOT POT.

I am game for any type of food but the spiciness of the clay pot food served at Chicken Hot Pot was too much for me.

I am not sure of the type of chillies/pepper that they used and the capsaicin (a safe and effective analgesic found in chillies) level was definitely more than 150,000 on the Scoville scale.

This is the 3rd branch of the Chicken Hot Pot group of restaurants which originated from Shanghai, China and is located in Bandar Puteri, Puchong (opposite the Giant Hypermarket).

All the piping hot cooked food are served on a clay pot, placed on a metal stand and kept warm with liquid wax flame.
Best to eat it the traditional way, pick the food with a pair of chopsticks and down it with white rice from a bowl,

After the meal proper, peppery tasting broth are added to the clay pot for those who want to continue eating, with "off the rack" ingredients meant for steamboat (stored in a chiller) which are charge separately.

Parking is OK.

The shop front with their "opening date" banner.

Metal stand for the clay pot.

Beef set(small)-served with celery, radish, matchstick carrot and Chinese parsley-beef was soft and tender and the broth was way too spicy and numbing for my palate-Rm18.80.

Chicken set(small) cooked with lots of big onion and garnished with Chinese parsley and matchstick carrot-the chicken pieces were small and not generous-the spiciness was greater than the beef set!-Rm18.80/

Fish set(big)-lightly battered and cooked with milder chillies gravy which was more too my liking and garnished with matchstick carrot, Chinese and sliced cucumber-Rm32.80/.

Total bill: Rm102/

RESTORAN TEO CHEW MOI.

Nowadays, eating Teo Chew porridge with small plates of cooked food and tit bits for lunch or dinner is a trend.

Restoran Teo Chew Moi located opposite of the Giant Hypermart in Bandar Puteri, Puchong is riding on the bandwagon and thriving because of it.

Teo Chew porridge can be quite expensive because of the tendency to order more.
There are many varieties of visually, tempting cooked food to lure you and all of it goes with the hot and piping bowl of whole grain watery rice porridge which at Rm1.80/ is unlimited.

I was there with my family to try out the food and we came away full, happy, and contended.

Parking is OK.

RESTORAN SHABU SHABU

My niece's Iris and her mum want to visit my daughter's Mindy at her home in Puchong. The drive to her place was terrible, with the after office car jams. She recommended us to have dinner at Restoran Shabu Shabu (Japanese style steamboat), then proceed to her condo.This part of Puchong is thriving with lots of restaurant specialising in many types of cuisine. This restaurant is located beside the Giant hypermarket in Bandar Puteri, Puchong. It is fully air conditioned and is simple, with a steel conveyor placed in the center to send the food to tables on the side of it-for a la carte menu only, for buffet style it's upstairs.We managed to persuade the waitress to let us have buffet style on the ground floor as my mum was too weak to climb up the stairs. For this set we can order unlimited food items listed on a menu (see the 6th photo). It cost rm26/person-drinks are free-green tea, sky juice and slurpee.The different plates of food-usually a plate of two items-is quite a sight to behold. The only set back is most of it are frozen and not as freshly made as in Coca. The plus point- it was hygienic, each one have individual pot of broth to cook with. The sauces are chilies, soya sauce with sesame oil and spring onion with lots of deep fried shallots. For me i went for the fresh sliced fish and pork belly, vegetables, prawns, oyster mushrooms....etc i abstained from those frozen balls-i.e. fish. beef, prawn mixed vegetables balls . A word of advice, the restaurant is filled with CCTV cameras, i don't understand why they need it? Intruding into our privacy .

The striking entrance.

Note the steel conveyor belt snaking around

The six of us busy eating- no time to pose!

After the eating time out to have a drink.
