I did a HUT Garden Cafe Puchong Review last week and now I am posting up the remaining pics. Sorry if I’ve been busy as my photo just came up on the SUN paper today. Traffic to my wedding blog has been crazy!

IOI with the Sun paper had a Tanglung Street Party to celebrate the Mid-Autumm Festival (25th Sept Tuesday) last Sat at Puteri Mart. Now its SPSetia’s turn or more accurately, the Residents Association of Pusat Bandar Puchong are also having something similar called the Mid-Autumm Festival at Pusat Bandar Puchong this coming Sat, 29 Sept 2007 at 7pm - 10pm. So don’t miss it as it will be at the Taman Tasik Wawasan (Basketball Area) and as far as I know, the crowd is usually very good every year.

Had dinner at Restoran Double Eight at Puteri 7, Puchong last Tuesday with my wife. She had porridge and I had mee soup. The red bean dessert was also excellent and served by a beer girl!!

I wonder why so many restaurants around here have numbers in their names. Pretty weird. This Restoran Double Eight is located near a new upcoming hospital, Columbia Asia.

Columbia Asia Medical Center, Puchong is a Community Hospital providing multidisciplinary clinical care focusing on prevalent diseases in the locality. The hospital provides specific forms of treatment, surgical procedures and intensive care, along with appropriate ancillary services (clinical laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy services), nursing care and intensive skilled care. To be opened in 2007, the facility is Columbia Asia’s second community hospital in West Malaysia. A built-to-suit hospital, it was designed to deliver effective and affordable healthcare to communities in Puchong.

· Built in 2006, to be opened by the end of 2007
· Located on Lebuh Puteri, Bandar Puteri Puchong (0.5 km from Giant Puchong), off the highway to Damansara, Cyberjaya and USJ. Easily accessible from the neighboring areas of Sunway, Subang, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and Kinrara.
· Estimated 250 employees (150 nurses, 30 doctors) with practicing privileges.

Had my lunch at Restoran Three Plus just now. Just mee soup did the trick as my stomach has not been feeling well since last Sat. This restaurant is located at Jalan Wawasan 2/22 at Pusat Bandar Puchong, near a 7-Eleven and Bus stop. If you are around the area about 6pm onwards, you will see a lot of Africans hanging around the area. I think that is spooky as the recent murder case involving 2 “gigolo” Nigerians still ring in my mind.

That day, I bought some pandan bread around 5pm at a shop behind Brothers (car shop) in Puchong. It was so nice, my wife still likes it. The shop that sells its is like a corner medicine cum shopping mart. Nearby a Kopitiam too. Can’t remember the Street name but will update later. Its a new bunch of shops separated from the area of shops where Brothers is located by a small road.

Update : The shop is located at Jalan Kenari 18. Here are the photos I took on 7 Oct 2007

I just bought Gardenia Bread for a Discount in Puchong. More precisely, you can get a discount from KK Super Mart (Buka 20 Jam) which is in Pusat Bandar Puchong, Jalan Wawasan 2/22. Its next to Beyond Salun Rambut and right in front is a bus stop for the 508 bus.

The RM1.90 Gardenia Bread is just RM1.60. The RM2.50 Gardenia Bread is just RM2.20

Nice to see you can still save a few cents in Malaysia.

I just had the lunch set at Restoran Steak Out Puchong (near Giant). Nice food. I had a set of orange juice, soup of the day and seafood spaghetti. The spaghetti was superb. Tasted like the one I had in Rome in April …I will definitely visit them again.

Total cost : RM20.90

Check out this review of Noodle Village in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Its a noodles serving cafe that has bland walls and cool aircon. I did visit it once with my wife back in August 2006. Very popular with families and it gets full at night.

I used to live in Puchong. It was few years back, when the area was newly developing and our food hunt was all hawker centers. Lately, many nicely renovated restaurants are mushrooming in Bandar Puteri Puchong and the surrounding area.

I noticed a restaurant call Noodle Village near Giant Puchong. As I love noodle till death, you will be sure I am getting in and have a look.

It was very well set up, cozy and nice. Tables, chairs, cutlery all unique. Not too high class, but just nice.

Met a friend (Fami) around 2pm at Red Tomato Cafe after fetching my wife to the KLIA airport today. I had curry mee and mango yoghurt. Fami had some meat stuff, a side order of calamari and tea. The bill came to around RM41. The curry was not that nice but the calamari was quite tasty. The haze is Puchong is still very bad….

Red Tomato Cafe is located along the row of Citibank in Bandar Puteri Puchong. Its just next to Giant and an Aircool shop too….
