Mimi Nguyen Cafe at JLN PPK4 / JLN Puchong

Sudden crave of Vietnamese cuisine had brought me to pay a visit to Mimi Nguyen.

This shop will be on your right hand side if you driving along Jalan Puchong from old klang road towards Puchong.

The shop lot was quite easily recognizable due to the double-storey design utilizing underground as their base

Mimi Nguyen was on the first floor

There’s quite a number of Vietnamese having their dinner here due to the fact that this area had become little Vietnam village

so the existence of this shop is to cater the local demand I think.

The owner is Vietnamese as well and guessed what? They can speak Cantonese!

They baked their own Vietnamese baguette and you can buy them one @ RM2.40

Though the name is Mimi Nguyen café, they don’t really serve as a hang out place but more to a restaurant instead, selection of food is quite comprehensive as well

Here’s my Menu

- Bánh Mì Gà Nướng (Vietnamese Roasted Chicken Sandwich) RM8.80

- Com Tam Suon Bi Cha (Vietnamese Broken Rice with Pork) RM 12.80

- Com ga nuong (Vietnamese Chicken with Lemongrass) RM13.80

- Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls with dry vermicelli) RM9.80

- Phở (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) RM11.80

- Sinh tố bơ (Vietnamese Avocado Shake) RM9.80

Bánh Mì Gà Nướng (Vietnamese Roasted Chicken Sandwich) RM8.80 – Shop selling Banh Mi in KL are mushrooming everywhere but honestlty speaking, this Banh Mi totally win over my heart, the bread is homemade and so soft, yet crunchy and crispy! The taste just right as well!

Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (Grilled Pork and Spring Rolls with dry vermicelli) RM9.80 – Pour over with sweet sour sauce, this dish seriously excite your taste bud and encourage you to eat more. Spring roll tasted so good. Combination of the vege and grilled chicken make it a perfect meal! Favourite!

Phở (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) RM11.80 – No need to explain much, must try and the soup will linger in your mouth, leaving aftertaste in your mouth. They do serve with lots of vege for you to ass into the soup, a healthy meal I suppose? LOL

Com Tam Suon Bi Cha (Vietnamese Broken Rice with Pork) RM 12.80

Com Ga nuong (Vietnamese Chicken with Lemongrass) RM13.80

Sinh tố bơ (Vietnamese Avocado Shake) RM9.80 – Not really a fans of avocado but this milkshake changed me, love the smooth texture and the fresh taste.

To conclude, I am so satisfied with my visit to this shop

and tust me, it’s worth a visit.

I wouldn’t say that it’s the best Vietnamese cuisine in KL but it’s the best I visited so far.

Authenticity level 100%!

I personally prefer this kind of restaurant where they only focus on business from local,

unlike so much other café/restaurant where just too much advertisement and disappointment.

Just hope the food standard can remain all the time.
