Following the success of Tim Ho Wan, another Michelin-starred restaurant from Hong Kong has recently opened a branch in KL. Not many people know about its existence yet, as this new restaurant is extremely low-profile. It's called Pang's Kitchen.
The original shop of Pang's Kitchen is located at Happy Valley in Hong Kong. Ever since they were given the recognition of One Michelin Star, there is always a long queue in front of the small family-run eatery. John, the owner of Pang's Kitchen in Malaysia, was fascinated by the simple yet delicious dishes at Pang's Kitchen when he visited Hong Kong; hence, he decided to bring this brand to Malaysia.
Tucked away at Wisma Miramas at Taman Desa, Pang's Kitchen has opened its door to the public for about a month. The restaurant's interior is very simple yet cozy with limited number of seats. The place was running full house when we arrived on a rainy Friday night.
More than 150 types of dishes are available on the menu, ranging from premium dishes, such as goose palm and crab, to simple stir-fried items, such as fried rice and fried ho fun. Pang's Kitchen specializes in Shun De Cuisine, which is relatively milder in taste and the food is prepared with less oil and salt. Check here for some signature dishes to try at the restaurant:
Sweet & Sour Pork with Strawberry (RM28)
Have you ever tried sweet & sour pork that is stir-fried with strawberry? The strawberry adds a natural sweetness to the pork. It's creative and delicious!Scramble Milk with Scallop (RM38)
A must-order signature dish at Pang's Kitchen. It is egg white scrambled with milk and fresh scallops. The texture of the scrambled milk is smooth and tender, so yummy!Crispy Chicken with Garlic- Half (RM35)
This is another must-try signature dish at Pang's Kitchen. The chicken is deep-fried to perfection until the skin is thin and crispy and the meat succulent. The chicken is sprinkled with lots of fried garlic to enhance the taste.Steamed Grouper (Seasonal Price)
With a grouper fish as fresh as this, the best way to cook is to steam it to maintain its freshness. The fish meat is very smooth and tender, and the soy sauce is not oily. There's nothing we can complain about.Claypot Kai Lan with Shrimp Paste (RM25)
