Restoran New Woo Ng

Tucked away along an industrial belt in Puchong, New Woo Ng is born out of the 70-year-old Woo Ng Restaurant that sees its roots in Kepong. Although this new offshoot is relatively unknown, it strives to serve stalwart Cantonese dishes in this part of town. Regulars often return citing their affordable prices, so bring a group for this treat — the colleagues for weekday lunches or the whole family for a weekend get-together. The Mellow Steamed Fish Head (RM28) is true to its name, and a dish to order here. The fleshy fish head boasts tip-top fresh flavours in a soothing concoction of herbs, rice wine and white fungus. Mellow indeed, but also delicious! For a good kick, get the popular Claypot Kangkung (RM18), crunchy water spinach tossed in the tastiest prawn paste gravy that bubbles as it arrives at your table. We also like that the menu sports a flurry of dishes we've never heard of, like the quirkily named Destructive Friends (RM28) that features pork knuckles cooked with a secret herb-heavy recipe, as well as the tasty Fried Meat (RM18) — sliced pork belly deep-fried to crispy, bacon-like curls.
Avg price per person: RM15

Favourite dish here at this tai chow specialist: the simple Claypot Kangkung. The crunchy greens arrive bubbling in a gravy pungent of prawn paste, and its overwhelming flavours go great with rice!
