Pun Chun Restaurant, Kota Kemuning - 2nd review

This is a follow-up on my earlier post on Pun Chun Restaurant in Kota Kemuning. Pun Chun is fast becoming our favourite place for breakfast and judging by the morning crowd, it seems to be a favourite of everyone else’s too. This time round I decided to give their Nasi Lemak with rempah chicken a try. The coconut rice is fragrant with a tinge of green which I suspect must come from the pandanus leaves.
The accompanying rempah chicken tastes very much like my Mom’s version of rendang which is a plus point for them! The thick sambal on the side packs quite a punch! For RM4.50 per plate it’s definitely worth every cent. Pun Chun’s version of Malaysia’s well-loved breakfast is definitely a notch up from the usual ones I’ve had.
Hubby ordered the Dry chicken curry noodle which comes with a large chicken wing. The blend of dark soya sauce noodles with curry is irresistible! Pun Chun serves only handmade wantan noodles for every noodle dish.

We also ordered the noodle with chicken feet & mushroom which was as delicious as it sounds.


We also ordered again the fresh shrimp wantons and a double-boiled duck drumstick soup.
My daughter insists that I take a picture of her breakfast as well so here it is. This is the soft-boiled kampong eggs.


Pun Chun's address is 10 Jalan Anggerik Vanilla AC31/AC, Kota Kemuning, 40460 Shah Alam. They are open daily from early morning to 4pm.

Pan mee at Restoran Mee Papan Kota Kemuning

Pan mee (fresh flour noodles) is a favourite among many Malaysians. It's a complete meal with freshly made noodles in ikan bilis (anchovy) broth.
Restoran Mee Papan in Kota Kemuning serves this local specialty in many versions, e.g. the popular soup version, the dry version tossed in sweet dark soya sauce and the curry version.

Pun Chun Noodle House in Kota Kemuning




Found a newly opened noodle shop in Kota Kemuning last week. Apparently it's a branch of the popular Pun Chun Noodle House in Bidor. No wonder as it's always packed with customers. We found time to try it out last Saturday. Service was fast and efficient. Pun Chun serves duck noodles in either soup or dry versions. They also serve curry noodles and nasi lemak.



We ordered the soup and dry duck drumstick noodles and a portion of fresh shrimp wanton soup. The soup for the noodles is flavourful due to herbs like wai san, kei chi (wolfberries) and old ginger. The noodles were fresh and springy with just enough bite, and the meat from the duck falls off the bone with just the gentlest prodding! The dry version of the noodles were tossed in sweet dark soya sauce and comes with a separate bowl of double-boiled herbal duck soup. This soup has a more robust flavour compared to the soup from the noodles. I'm not a fowl person and duck is not on my list of favourite foods but the duck at Pun Chun was good enough for me. The shrimp wanton was very fresh in a light broth. Each bowl comes with 7 pieces which were big enough as a complete meal for the kids.


Pun Chun also sells the famous chicken biscuits (kai chai paeng) and white coffee to cater to the crowds who migrated from north.
