Vintage

Porky pleasures rule the roost at Vintage, one of Puchong's better-looking watering holes.

The char siew here is meaty and well-marinated, though customers craving a melt-in-the-mouth lusciousness might not be completely satisfied.

Pork ribs. Bony, but reasonably tasty. Just not the best in town, that's all.

On a happier note, lots of booze is offered at fair prices, including weird but wonderful white wine cocktails: Milky Way (white wine laced with milk & honey) & Daffy Duck (with vodka).

Bumbu Bali

Still going strong after several years, with a solid crowd even on weeknights.

Nasi campur is the highlight here, brimming with Balinese goodies like grilled prawns, squid, chicken rendang & sate lilit, alongside lawar kacang (bean salad), rempeyek (anchovy crackers), sambal terasi & sambal matah.

Everything is fresh and tasty, with portions that two light eaters can easily share.

Broken Earth Shiraz (2006). Bumbu Bali offers a small selection of wine, but feel free to bring your own, since the corkage charge is a reasonable RM20 per bottle.
