Here’s another of my “Food at the “NEW” Old Wing, 1 Utama series of posts. This restaurant is located on the same floor as Putien Malaysia and enjoyed the same long queue as Putien did when it first opened.

I was there during it’s opening week (yes, this post is a bit late.. ahem..) and it was another night where we craved something tummy-warming sans post-gym session.

The name pretty much explained it’s menu and just like Putien Malaysia, The Soup Restaurant is a Singaporean enterprise that has recently ventured onto our shores.

I’m all for new F & B outlets, as it gave us foodies better options and a wider variety of cuisine to sample.
I am however, a bit ruffled that there are a proliferation of Singaporean F & B franchises in KL lately; of which most serves simple Chinese cuisine, something that I think we Malaysians can do as well.
The sad thing is, Malaysian food entrepreneurs seems to prefer fusion, Italian, German and whatever else fancy cuisine styles. Most of these outlets went belly-up after mere months of operations. Seriously, other than Ben Yong of the Ben’s/Plan B empire; are there any other food entrepreneurs worth mentioning?

1 Utama is like my 2nd home.
Checking in on an average of 4 times a week mainly because of Celebrity Fitness, I do my grocery shopping here as well; hitting Cold Storage for the imported items and Jusco for the usual stuffs.
The prowl for sustenance usually follows immediately after. Choices used to be mediocre and restrictive and at most I’ll hop into Daves’ (an all time favourite of mine) or I’ll just grab a bun from Sun Moulin.

But things are certainly looking up for foodies now with the recent developments of the “Old Wing”. I have been checking out each outlet and I have almost covered all! So it’s time to start sharing my experiences with you guys!

Today I’m starting off my series of “Food at the “NEW” Old Wing, 1 Utama“ with Putien Restaurant. It’s the most recently opened restaurant & I hopped in for lunch after a particularly strenous session in the gym.
