Chinese Fast Food at New Paris
Situated in the busy town of SS2, New Paris Restaurant is no stranger to folks in PJ or even the Klang Valley. What used to be a single storey restaurant has now bloomed into a full-fledged 4-storey building that stretches across 3 shop lots. Amazing! What’s also amazing is the speed of which food is served here. After our order, the waiter told us that we had to wait for about 15 minutes for our food to arrive, but the first dish actually came in less than 10 minutes! On a full house night to boot!

On every table was a bowl of home made chili sauce which was very fragrant, spicy and sour from the flavour of lime juice.

One of the highly recommended dish by the waiter was the Champagne chicken with Watermelon. As interesting as the name of the dish sounded, I doubt that there was any champagne used. The chicken was very well-marinated with a sweet and sour flavour and had a nice caramelized outer layer that gave it a nice glaze. The balls of watermelon were sweet and juicy, making this dish essentially a festival of flavours!

Another recommendation was the Braised Pork Knuckle, soft and tender with a melt-in-your-mouth fat layer. Since I’m not a fan of the fatty layer, I aimed for the lean meat, which was equally juicy and fall-off-the-bone soft. The gravy was savoury with a light peppery taste. Mix it around with some rice and you’re good to go!

Yes indeed! Not sure about the top floor, but definitely the ground, 1st and 2nd floor..
I was expecting French food based on the name, but this looks equally tasty

Heard of this place and friends going there since a few years ago. Initially, from the name, I thought they would be serving French cuisine. Still going strong, I see – the food certainly looks good!

Eh I had something similar to the chicken and watermelon dish, but it was pork ribs I remembered. From a restaurant in Klang.
Kinda funny initially, eating fresh fruits with a savoury-sweet meat dish. But caught on fast
Been there many times and thought the food and price is good until I saw this thing.
A lot of ppl order champagne chicken with watermenon, did you know a lot of table with left over either watermelon or chicken. What would the staff do ??? They mix to a new plate, pour and serve as new and charge to us. (My son saw these as he was purging and frequently stroll to toilet and saw this).
On our table the champagne chicken is too hard to chew and tasteless.
We have two table and 3 big pot of rice can’t cater for us and we ask for 4 pot of rice. (Only two woman in this two table, all of them are my brother in law family or my family). Eventually the lady boss charge us RM20 per pot of rice. And since they charge us so high, I took my container to fill in the rest of the left over rice (for my dog) and the lady boss charge me for extra RM5. She mention if I didn’t ta pao, she would take the pot of rice for fried rice purpose. And when I ask her, When she charge RM20 per pot of rice, what mistake do I have to ta pao. She mention that she is the owner, she can charge according to her liking. Which make all my family member “boycot” this restaurant in our future visit.
After paying the bill, my husband bump to his old friend with his family and tell them about our experience and exchange the receipt, and this restaurant charge different on rice as they charge RM1.20 per head of rice to his old friend bill.
Hi Maryanne,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. So sorry to hear about your incident with the rice, if I were you, I would have thrown up a fit as well. And as for the champagne chicken, I really did not expect them to reuse the balance from other tables. How unethical! I suppose they really should take note and improve on this, else if more people know about it, it will just be bad news for them. Thanks for sharing again!
