PJ Old Town Food

PJ Old Town is located at Section 1 of Petaling Jaya and is one of the oldest planned township in Selangor. There are a few blocks of shop houses that are mainly used as restaurants and shops. Most of the houses here consist of landed bungalows, a few of which have been converted to become restaurants and shops.

Just to digress, this township is famous for plastic products in particular water containers. If you are looking for a wide range of plastic water containers, this is the place to go as there are many shops selling these items. A good place to get them when water rationing happens during dry season when the water at the dams drop to critical level.

There are three Chinese food eateries that you can consider going while you are here.

Soon Lee Restaurant

This restaurant is located along Jalan 1/19 and Jalan 1/10. It is a typical Chinese hawker coffeeshop where there are many hawker stalls that serve various types of food. The Kuey Teow Soup here is tasty with ingredients used include chicken, lard, fishball and spring onion. This stall is busy most of the time with regular customers coming back for more. Costs about RM5 per bowl.

Restoran Soon Lee at PJ Old Town is packed during lunch hour.
