Set Lunches & RM800/table set dinner at Ti Chen, Saujana Country & Golf Resort

One of the best pork-free Chinese restaurant located within a hotel in this side of Klang Valley is Ti Chen.

The dim sum items are delicate and refined; some traditional, others with a contemporary twist. All are crafted from quality ingredients and served in good-sized portions for the price.

Ambience-wise The Saujana Golf and Country Club sits over acres of green lawn, thus providing an eye-pleasing natural landscape for the diners in Ti Chen.
Barely 10 minutes away from the heart of PJ, one can dine and rejuvenate the spirit in the tranquility of nature.

Designed for those who wish to enjoy a selection of different Chinese Malaysian dishes with a Cantonese twist, you can select your dining experience from ‘Weekday Special Set Menu’, Weekday Set Lunch’, ‘Quick Weekday Dim Sum Set Lunch’ and ‘Daily Dim Sum Special’.
