SELANGOR

Shah Alam has known for a long time being a Muslim populated area. The influence is to the extend that 7-11 do not sell any alcohol beverages. However the trend has change and slowly adopting into more open market. Space U8 Bukit Jelutong is the latest mall in Shah Alam that mushroom together with other new malls in Klang Valley.

The mall do not have any air conditioner and mainly designed with green in mind. It is very airy and doesn’t feel hot at all. There’s a new restaurant that serves pork and beer under the same roof in Shah Alam. It is known as PLATES ORIENTAL CUISINE and BOTTLES BY VOIR DIRE.

The restaurant carries an urban stylish design that having a restaurant facing the inner mall and a bar facing the outside.

This restaurant comes with all the necessary signage to prevent any unwanted things happen. Business hours start daily 10am to 10pm including public holidays.

The side that face the main road, Bottles by Voir Dire.

The bar comprise a pool table and a stage where you can perform on stage or occasionally guest live bands entertain all the customers who patron there.

Brand new pool table

Bottles where the names come from. Another thing is that the bar only serve all sorts of bottled beers. This is inline with the local regulations and still able to cater for the local needs.

The design is pretty futuristic for a Chinese Restaurant.

A new way to get rid of the fishy smells and to bring out the prawn taste to another level. You should give it a dry. Drunken chicken are norm. Drunken prawns? Rare. Most of the drunken prawns which I previously had was putting live prawns into liquor and let them jump till it stop which I find pretty cruel.
