Pu Yuan Restaurant (炒薯粉小食馆) is hidden in the alley off the road leading to SJK(C) Choong Wen, just before the post office at Old Klang Road. I figure most of the patrons dining here are regulars as this place is quite secluded, the door of this restaurant is shut all the time and there’s no restaurant signboard.

Pu Yuan serves delicious and authentic Hokkien dishes. This restaurant was once featured in 8TV famous food program ‘Ho Chak’.

As we arrived at the doorstep of this restaurant, the wife’s immediate question was “Are you sure this is a restaurant?” and “Is there any food to eat here?”

We reached the place around 6-ish and thought we were early but the place was already full house @_@ They have less than 10 tables, so it’s better to be there early or else you might have to wait quite long.
