1. Lim Fried Chicken
Long before fried chicken chains became a dime a dozen, Malaysians were already enjoying it their own way — crispy, golden, and served with rice, curry and sambal instead of fries. Lim Fried Chicken in Puchong is a reminder of that simple foodie pleasure. Tucked in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, this long-running favourite has been satisfying cravings for decades with a foolproof formula.
The story began in the early 1980s, when a couple from Melaka moved to Kuala Lumpur and started selling nasi lemak and fried chicken from a humble hawker stall. By 1983, they had opened a shop in Subang Jaya, operating there for more than 30 years before relocating in 2015. What started as a modest family venture has since grown steadily, with nearly 20 outlets across Malaysia today.
What keeps diners coming back is its distinctly Malaysian take on fried chicken. Here, the chicken isn’t meant to stand alone — it’s best enjoyed alongside rice, noodles, curries and all the hearty sides that complete a proper local meal.
A classic order is the LFC Signature Whole Leg Rice & Vege (RM17.90). Fluffy white rice is generously ladled with curry and paired with a beautifully fried whole chicken leg, its golden crust addictingly crispy. A side of sweet-savoury stir-fried cabbage balances the richness, while a sunny side up egg (RM2) adds an extra layer of indulgence when the yolk runs into the curry.
For something a little different, LFC Cheesy Mayo Boneless Leg Chicken Rice (RM14.90) offers a more modern twist, with crispy boneless chicken topped with creamy cheese sauce and mayo — a classic combination locals will happily recognise.
Not in the mood for rice? The Curry Sauce Cheong Fun with Whole Leg (RM17.80) pairs silky rice noodles with fragrant curry and a crispy chicken leg, finished with sambal for a flavour bomb.
Round things off with familiar kopitiam comforts like the Kaya Butter Croissant (RM6.90) or Polo Bun (RM5.90), best enjoyed with half-boiled eggs (RM3.80).
Trends may come and go, but a plate of crispy fried chicken with rice and curry will always have its place — and Lim Fried Chicken continues to deliver that comfort, just the way many Malaysians remember it.

2. LeLe Wine Restaurant
In the heart of Bandar Puteri in Puchong, LeLe Wine Restaurant presents a charming take on a neighbourhood wine bar, perfect for cultured foodies. The European-inspired bistro blends familiar Western classics with subtle Chinese nuances, resulting in comfort dishes that are far from ordinary.
This intimate spot is the brainchild of Ed and Von, centred on the simple joys of good food, wine, and company. Its name, drawn from “吃得快樂，喝得快樂”, roughly translates to the joy of eating and drinking well.
The cosy ambience and shareable-plate menu make it perfect for a relaxed date night or a leisurely evening with friends. Upstairs, a loft space offers intimate workshops from time to time, such as pasta making or cake decorating, alongside private gatherings and casual social evenings.
Much of the offerings draws subtle influence from Ed’s background as a Chinese home cook, lending familiar local touches to European bistro-style fare. Everything is made fresh in-house, with the team carefully crafting the flavours and details that make every dish worth trying.
The Charred Cabbage (RM20), for instance, transforms a humble ingredient into a standout dish. The cabbage is caramelised to bring out its natural sweetness, served atop a savoury douban almond sauce and finished with crispy, fragrant shallots for texture.
The Namyu Chicken (RM39) puts a sophisticated spin on schnitzel, pan-fried until golden and crispy, paired with tartare sauce and a zesty herb salad. Meanwhile, the Garlic Butter Prawn Pasta (RM45) pairs succulent prawns with tagliatelle in a fragrant garlic butter sauce, subtly lifted with a splash of Shaoxing wine.
Wine, of course, plays a starring role here. The restaurant offers a curated list with house pours that rotate almost weekly, and the team is happy to recommend a glass based on your meal or personal taste. On weekends from 5pm to 11pm, 2 glasses of house pour go for RM55.
Those opting for something lighter may appreciate the Jasmine Pear Bliss (RM21) — a non-alcoholic alternative — while the Tequila Sunrise Highball (RM32) serves up a refreshing cocktail with zesty citrus notes.
As a sweet finale, Gula Melaka Pudding (RM28) is a must-have — a moist gula melaka cake paired with rich gula melaka toffee sauce and ice cream, layering creamy, caramel-laced flavours in one luscious bite.
Amid a neighbourhood full of dining options, choosing LeLe Wine Restaurant is a no-brainer. No theatrics, no formalities — just well-executed food, carefully chosen wines, and a space that invites you to linger. Sometimes, that’s all a neighbourhood bistro needs.

3. Puchong Yong Tau Fu
A good plate of yong tau fu rarely disappoints, and this long-standing spot in Puchong proves why. It’s simple, comforting, and consistent. Not flashy, but a place people return to over the years because its food just rocks: Puchong Yong Tau Fu.
Freshness is the main attraction here. Everything is prepared and cooked on order, whether you go for steamed or fried. The tofu is soft and silky, while the fillings are generous and well-seasoned, giving each piece a good balance of texture and flavour.
Variety is another strong point, with options ranging from white tofu, fish balls and stuffed vegetables to fried dumplings, wantons and spring rolls, starting from RM2.80. The self-service setup makes it easy to pick exactly what you want. There’s also a solid range of carbs to pair with, including chee cheong fun.
Beyond yong tau fu, the menu stretches into familiar local favourites like asam laksa, nasi lemak, paper-wrapped chicken and Thai-style taufu. It’s a convenient option when you’re dining in a group with different cravings.

4. Foo Hing Dim Sum
Dim sum is one of those meals that’s best enjoyed unhurried, with a table full of small plates and something warm in hand. Since 2009, Foo Hing Dim Sum in Puchong has built its reputation on handmade dim sum, traditional recipes, and flavours that stay true to what regulars know and love about their food.
Steamed classics like Siew Mai (RM6) and Har Gow (RM6) are done well, with plump fillings and balanced seasoning. The BBQ Pork Bun (RM5) and Custard Bun (RM5) offer something softer and more comforting, while dishes like Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce (RM6) and Chicken Feet (RM6) bring those deeper, savoury flavours that round out a proper dim sum spread.
There’s also a good mix of fried items for contrast. The Taro Puff (RM5) is crispy on the outside with a soft, fragrant filling, while the Fried Prawn Roll (RM5) and Fried Wonton (RM5) make easy crowd-pleasers. For something more filling, options like Glutinous Rice with Chicken (RM5) or even a simple Honey BBQ Pork Rice (RM5) are available.
One standout that shouldn’t be missed is the Foo Hing Portuguese Egg Tart (RM4). With its flaky crust and silky, slightly caramelised custard, it’s easily one of the most popular items on the menu and a must-order for first-timers.
Beyond the variety, what makes Foo Hing Dim Sum work is its consistency. The focus on handmade preparation and traditional flavours keeps things reliable, whether you’re stopping by for a quick breakfast or a longer catch-up over tea.

5. Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap Puchong
If you’ve been craving the vibrant flavours of Sabah food, particularly Sabah-style beef noodles, Kah Hiong Ngiu Chap is one to know in Puchong. Tucked behind Bandar Puteri LRT station on the Sri Petaling line, this spot keeps things simple — hearty bowls built around a deeply flavourful beef broth.
At the heart of the menu is their signature ngiu chap, a Sabahan favourite known for its variety of beef cuts. The Ngiu Chap Soup (RM23.90) is the full experience, with a generous mix of beef tripe, stew, slices, tendon, intestine, liver, tongue and beef balls, all simmered in a robust broth that ties everything together.
For something more straightforward, the Ngiu Chap Soup Noodles (RM17.90) or Ngiu Chap Kolo Noodle (RM18.90) offer a slightly lighter take, pairing the same comforting broth and beef cuts with your choice of noodles, either in soup or dry.
If you’re here for the broth, the Beef Ball Soup (RM19.90) is a solid option, featuring 12 springy beef balls in that signature soup. For something heartier, the Soup Tulang (RM26.90) leans richer, while the Beef Stew Rice (RM17.90) brings a more homely touch with tender beef braised alongside potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.
Don’t forget the chilli sauce — it brings a punchy heat that lifts the broth and ties the whole meal together.

6. Oriental Kopi
Inspired by Hainanese roots, Oriental Kopi in Puchong blends both Eastern and Western influences into their food for a familiar yet refined kopitiam experience. The brand stays close to tradition, from its recipes to its brewing methods, while adding just enough of a modern touch to keep things relevant.
Each cup of Oriental Kopi (RM6.50) is brewed in-house using a blend of Arabica, Robusta and Liberica beans, roasted at high heat to bring out a bold, full-bodied flavour. It’s rich, fragrant and leans slightly indulgent, very much in line with what regulars come back for.
Of course, it’s hard to leave without ordering their signatures. The Oriental Egg Tarts (RM9.80) are known for their flaky, buttery crust and smooth custard filling, while the Polo Bun (RM8.90) delivers that classic contrast of a crispy top and soft, fluffy interior.
While their baked goods often get the spotlight, the rice dishes are just as worth your attention. The Oriental Signature Nasi Lemak (RM20.90), Rendang Chicken Nasi Briyani (RM22.90), Malay Fried Rice (RM24.90) and Prawn Fried Rice (RM26.90) are all solid choices. Most come with a piece of crispy fried chicken and a runny egg yolk that adds a creamy richness to the already aromatic rice.

7. MÄD Coffee
In IOI Rio, Puchong, MÄD Coffee brings a slightly different energy and food options to the neighbourhood cafe scene. Run by a mother-and-daughter duo, the space is personal and community-driven, built as much for coffee lovers as it is for casual catch-ups and slow afternoons.

There are actually 18 to choose from, making it one of the more loaded spots around if you’re serious about silky rice rolls.

9. Young Sanna Mee
Young Sanna Mee in Puchong takes a lighter, more mindful approach to food you eat everyday. The focus here leans towards natural ingredients, more vegetables and gentler seasoning, creating meals that feel balanced without losing flavour.
Their signature Sanna Mee is served in a heated stone bowl that keeps the soup hot from start to finish. As you eat, the retained heat continues to cook the ingredients slightly, allowing the broth to deepen over time.
There’s a good range of options depending on what you’re craving. The Pork Shoulder Sanna Mee (RM36.40) and Pork Belly Sanna Mee (RM36.40) offer something richer, while the Seafood Sanna Mee (RM39.30) lean lighter and cleaner on the palate.
If you’re not in the mood for stone bowl noodles, there are a few solid alternatives.

For something more plant-forward, the Mixed Vege Pan Fried Pumpkin Noodle (RM26.00) fits right in with the overall concept.

Coffee is the backbone here, but it’s not limited to the usual espresso lineup.
