Restoran Anggrek Kuring Indonesia • Puchong — Restaurant in Subang Jaya

Dancing Fish

Sundanese Cuisine is one of the most popular food in Indonesia, widely consumed by the Sundanese people in Western Java. However, not many restaurants here in Malaysia that offer Sundanese cuisine, as Padang food (or Minang food) is clearly more popular among Malaysians - correct me if I'm wrong.

Anggrek Kuring was featured recently by a television show which prompted me to jio my partner who loves Indonesian food. However, we couldn't order more as there were only two of us. The restaurant is located in the busy area of Bandar Puteri Puchong where parking is a biatch (no, I'm serious) - my solution was to park at Hero Market and walked all the way here.

The lady owner is an Indonesian Chinese who is married to a Malaysian, and misses Indonesian food hence the beginning of this restaurant. Nothing much special about Anggrek Kuring in terms of design but the furnitures were made of dark wood.

◾Deep fried standing fish RM98 - the most common dish of Sundanese cuisine where they deep fried the fish while bending the fish in a way that it would stand upon plating; with salted egg sauce at the bottom ◾Udang Sambal Petai RM40 - love that chilly paste flavour but prawns were slightly off their prime, and a bit oily at the bottom too! ◾Gado-Gado RM18 - steamed mixed vegetable in peanut sauce. Another classic Sundanese food - expect to find bean sprout, cucumber, long bean and egg doused generously with the savoury peanut sauce and some keropoks to munch some of that sauce away.

We had the restaurant for ourselves that afternoon therefore nothing much to say for the service. Portion was very big for all dishes that we had to tapao back in the end so please go in a...

Hidden gem! We visited this restaurant for a Sunday night family dinner based on a friend’s recommendation. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a corner unit in the heart of the busy Maybank intersection in Bandar Puteri Puchong. A bit hidden and unassuming despite its central location as the neighbouring shops have neon signboards. Anyway, we are glad to have ventured here. The food portion are generous and just nice for big Sunday family dinners. The dishes we ordered all suited our tastebuds although we rarely dined on Sundanese cuisine. We paid a total of less than RM280 for red snapper fish, kampung chicken, fried squid, prawns with sambal petai, mixed veggies, gado gado and a bowl of bakso, plus drinks. I would say it was well worth it for a hearty meal. The restaurant decor has a relaxed vibe with ethnic instrumental music. Unlike some restaurants these days which blasts chilly aircond, Anggrek Kuring has lots of ceiling fans plus an air cond which provided a breezy and comfy atmosphere, which gave me the impression of almost like dining outdoors by the beach. Surprisingly for the great food quality, price and atmosphere, the restaurant was almost empty, so do give it a try if you’re looking for a new place for...

This is one of our favorite Indonesian restaurant which had been in operations at this Bandar Puteri location for more than 10 years. This place is also where we discovered Indonesian cuisine. Although there’s been many more new Indonesian restaurants that had since opened, Anggrek Kuring has managed to hold its own with its loyal customers. Some of our favorite dishes include their signature ayam bakar, cumi bakar, standing fish, etc. all of which have that authentic Sundanese taste. There are two drinks I like here, the cucumber lime and teh botol sosro. Cucumber lime is refreshing with freshly squeezed cucumber juice top with lime. While teh botol sosro is Indonesian bottled tea and one that I find is not sweet. The ambience is very much Indonesian with wooden furnitures adorning the entire place while soothing Indonesian music plays in the background. Service is prompt & attentive. If you like Indonesian cuisine, then...
