OldSchool @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

It's Pork, It's Good! So, this is their tagline. Obviously, based on this we know that this is a non-halal restaurant. From the look itself, I thought that they only served western food. Surprisingly, they also served Asian food like nasi lemak, roasted pork rice, noodles, penang rojak, lobak, and other food as well like burger, sandwiches, soup, salad, spaghetti, steak and many more.

As the name itself suggest OldSchool, so obviously we know that their interior design and concept are all based on old school theme. For example, you can see a lot of formulas, calculations as well as small kids' arts on their wall, the way their waiters and waitresses dressed up in school uniform complete with the typical white socks and white shoes and together with their nerdy glasses. On top of that, you can also find some of the typical childhood snacks in the olden days being sold here like orange sweet, mamee monster, popo muruku ikan, durian corn snack and ice pop. Last but not least, look at their menu. Is like our exercise book complete with the rukun negara behind it. Altough, all these are just some small and tiny matters during our school life which we wouldn't even bother or care during that time but when you are getting older or when you out of the school life, you will start to realized how these small and tiny things actually remind you so much about your school life.

So, this is their menu complete with their name, address, and telephone number. All these are real information ya. Don't ever think that they put it just for the sake of putting it. Lol.

Grilled Pork Steak (RM19.90) 
Rating: 3.0/5
Grilled pork steak is a special cut lean pork steak, marinated and grilled to perfection, served with green salad and potato wedges. I like their wedges. For the pork steak itself, the taste was quite good but I personally don't really like this type of taste. Is not the food problem, is actually my problem. You get what I mean?? Haha.

Chicken Parmigiana (RM16.90) 
Rating: 3.5/5
Chicken Parmigiana is a deep-fried chicken thigh topped with pomodoro sauce and mozzarella cheese, served with green salad and potato wedges. Before this, I was thinking whether I should order this or not as it look quite interesting but when I saw there were cheese on top, then I changed my mind because I am not really a cheese lover. Luckily, my sister ordered this so I get to try some. I think this is quite nice because it tasted a bit like hawaiian pizza. Lol.

Grilled Pork Steak Burger (RM10.90) 
Rating: 2.5/5
Grilled Pork Steak Burger is actually a specially made charcoal bun with grilled tender pork steak. First time eating charcoal bun. How was it?? Nothing special. The pork steak taste is exactly same as the above grilled pork steak taste which I don't really like.


So, here you go another close up shot of the charcoal bun burger!

Overall, in term of food, the taste was quite good. The portion are quite big as well. Some are quite pricey but some are quite reasonable depending on what you actually order. For environment wise, was so so only. Maybe is because it is a open restaurant so it doesn't look so classy. Actually based on the environment itself, I actually lower down my expectation on their food but it turns out to be out of my expectation.

For your information, they also got sell forty licks ice cream and kurobuta burger. Kurobuta pork is the finest pork in the world and the most highly prized pork in Japan. Kurobuta means "black pig" in Japanese. No wonder, they are selling this burger at RM29.90.

Brussels Beer Cafe

Brussels Beer Café is a great place that serve delicious Belgian cuisines as well as a wide variety of imported and draft beers where some are imported from Belgium, Ireland, England, Denmark, Germany and etc. They are the only restaurant serving draft Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Leffe fresh off the tap. If I am not mistaken, they are also the only restaurant in Malaysia that serve Hoegaarden Rosée. I think this is the best beer I ever drank so far because Hoegaarden Rosée is not so bitter and it brings a little bit of sweet taste which I like it so much. For ladies, there will be a ladies night on every Wednesday 6pm onwards where you are entitle to buy Hoegaarden Rosée for only RM10.00 per half pint. For the food part, so far I only tried their Brussels' Meatball (traditional pork meatballs braised in Leffe Brune sauce, onion and mix herbs), Pork Ribs (grilled whole pork ribs served with Belgian stoemp, sautéed vegetables and BBQ sauce) and Brussels' Style Pork Knuckle (crispy roasted whole pork knuckle, served with sautéed potatoes and mushrooms, accompanied by brown sauce). I love their meatball so much where it tastes so perfect with their Leffe Brune sauce, onion and mix herbs especially when the sauce is hot. Their pork knuckle and pork ribs quite nice as well. Sorry, no photos for the food as my phone run out of battery right before the food are serve. Anyway, I think it worth a try. 

This is the one in Setiawalk Mall, Puchong.

Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park a.k.a 大上海

Feel like going to Shanghai but not enough money, need not worry about it as we have Grand Shanghai at Setiawalk Mall, Puchong. It is located on the 4th floor of Setiawalk, right below the TGV cinemas. Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park a.k.a 大上海 is build base on the original mid 30's street of Shanghai, decorated with wax figures based on 30's Shanghai lifestyle, antique cars and trisaw. The decor here are so classic that it pretty much resemble the old city of Shanghai. This is definitely a place recommended for photo taking but this is pretty hard as there are crowds here and there. So, snap as fast as you can when there is no one at a particular spot or visit it during non-peak day or hour. There are number of eateries in Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park. Some are restaurants by its own while others are stalls where it resemble a foodcourt. There are a variety of choices of food for you to choose from dim sum to taiwanese food. So far, I only tried the Shilin Chicken Chop Set since I only been here once (sorry, I can't remember the name of the stall I ate). I think the chicken is quite nice especially when it is hot and crispy. I think other food must be not bad as well since I see a pretty number of people eating here. Anyway, there is one thing I am sure is that the environment here do give you the feel of Shanghai lifestyle with all the olden days songs playing around and how some of the waiter and waitress dresses.

There are a number of eateries in this Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park - See more at: http://blog.saimatkong.com/index.php/2014/01/26/grand-shanghai-tea-house-%E5%A4%A7%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E8%8C%B6%E6%A8%93-setiawalk-puchong/#sthash.ZFvEU2Dy.dpuf
Entrance of Grand Shanghai Food Theme Park
You can always spot this type of phone booth in other 
countries but not in Malaysia and here you have one.
Antique Car
Classic right the decoration with all the olden days posters??
Lantern definitely a must to symbolize Chinese culture.
Olden days fan.
Last time where got computer one.... so we have the 
typewriter and I remember watching dramas where 
they show you how the typewriter produces sound 
 whenever you type or press the space bar.


















So this is how the olden days phone, radio and iron
look like before all the mobile phone and MP3 were 
invented
So this is the one I mentioned just now, 
the Shilin Chicken Chop Set (RM17.50)
(come with a drink of your choice, tofu, egg, vege and rice).
It will be cheaper if you do not want the drink and side dishes.
