Hands down the best fried chicken in Puchong. Their fried chicken is big, juicy, flavoursome and crispy - some claim it is still crispy after a few hours. This roadside stall was initially run by a Chinese aunty, now it is run by a young guy (most probably her grandson). Price has increased slightly but still very affordable and worth the buck.

Fried Chicken - RM4 (per piece)

Famous Mee Jawa Goreng at Restoran Siong Pin in SS3, Petaling Jaya. Uncle Alex has been frying yellow noodles for about 38 years - each meatless plate of noodles comes with chopped onions, cubes of potatoes, beancurd and beansprouts. The secret to his mee goreng lies in the special homemade chilli paste used to fry the noodles. Lastly before serving, it is garnished with fresh lettuce, hard boiled eggs, shallot crisp and drizzled over with tomato sauce.

Snakehead Fish (Haruan) is believed to have medical value in enhancing wound healing. One of the best places to enjoy this dish is at Restaurant Yap Yin at Seri Kembangan. Steamed Haruan is their signature dish here, but I personally prefer to order their hot pot style which comes with soup, tofu, fu chuk, homemade fish ball, vegetables and rice vermicelli. Another popular dish here is their edible frog, but sadly they were out of stock during my visit.
