It was a lazy Sunday noon and I was busy gaming when Shereen called up for lunch. Deprived of good food for the weekend I decided to join her for lunch despite having my brunch not too long ago. We decided to head to Gao Ren Guan 高人馆 in ss15.
I have seen this restaurant of few times during yumcha sessions in ss15 and a few times in Puchong on business matters. Apparently this is the branch. Been wanting to find out who is the "gao ren" (tall person) which this restaurant took its name from. The appearance of the restaurant is very nice indeed, the simplistic feature which I really adore.
front of the shop, really easy to spot
We reached around 2.30pm, just after the lunch crowd. The restaurant is not hard to spot as it is one of the newer ones there and has a really stricking signboard. Inside, there are still a number of customers enjoying their meals...Sunday is when you are supposed to wake up late and have a late lunch i supposed.
nice cozy interior
Once i got to the menu i straight away read through the restaurant introduction.Turns out this place is not own by a tall fellow, or employs tall people at all. It got its name from Gao Zhou, a place near GuangDong China. The food, as stated in the introduction, are similar to Cantonese cuisine. Ok i am definately interested!
the intro...nope, this is not the tall guy which the restaurant got its name from
We decided to order a few of the dishes they advertise heavily on the menu, namely the GaoChou Tou Pok 高州黄金卜, Braised Pork 家乡扣肉, a simple bakchoy dish 葱油白菜, rice and tea.
The GaoChou TouPok was simply AMAZING! its essencially pork & veg stuffed in lightly deep fried toufu pok. There were a lot of stuffings inside and everybite simply sends you up to heaven...the soup which the dish comes in was very very light, yet very flavourful...really capturing the very definition of Cantonese cuisine....5 thumbs up for the dish!!!
looks yummy yes?
generous fillings...simply yummy
Next to arrive was the braised pork. This is a very common version of the dish, which i would add here a dish that my grandma made her own!!!haha...feeling a little biased, i reckon the pork could used a little more time cooking to get it softer and that melt-in-your-mouth feeling. The sauce was OK though a little too bitter for shereen. Goes very well with the rice though.
who can resist braised pork?lolz
Last to arrive was the bakchoy (which i gave out the wtf? feeling). Now this is the best part. It was simply gorgeous! The veg was cruchy and fresh, the simple soya sauce & saseme oil mixture goes perfectly with the dish. This must be one of the best veg dish i had so far! (grandma's dishes not included of course...lol) Should you visit this place, please order this simple yet oh so good dish...you will be surprised at how good this taste!
a little surprise in this little dish
The billed amounted to RM 46.20. A little bit on the high side but hey, definately worth the money i think. the generous amount should do more than retify their higher pricing. Note that all the dishes were small portions.
Heres a map for you readers. Gao Ren Guan Subang Jaya is located in ss15. Should you come from Subang Parade, go past the Shell Station & Mcdonalds on you left, then turn left pass an EON bank on your right. go straight and its right in front of you. I have the address for Puchong branch for your references.
Doggyjames says...A great place for a nice meal together. If you like unique or different Chinese food from what you are used to, you definately must give this place a try
