Moon's Kitchen

Moon’s Kitchen began its humble beginnings as a hawker stall serving Western dishes in Pandan Indah 18 years ago. After a successful run, the family decided to open their own restaurant in Putra Heights, managed by young couple Aizuddin and Atikah.

Since the early days, Moon’s Kitchen’s specialty has always been their meat dishes, ranging from lamb to different cuts of halal-certified Australian beef. Today, they have expanded their menu to include lobsters, although these are only available on a seasonal basis and were unfortunately out of stock during our visit.

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a shop-house with plenty of street parking available. The interior of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming and the walls charmingly decorated with mural paintings of iconic buildings.

The menu is divided into various sections and each dish within a sub-section is given a brief description. Everything sounded yummy and I had a hard time deciding what to order. 

BBQ Braised Beef Brisket - RM49.90++

I finally settled on the Braised Beef Brisket in BBQ Sauce from the BBQ Wagon section and it was a wise choice indeed. The Australian lean beef brisket was braised in Moon’s Kitchen home-made Chipotle BBQ sauce, then quickly oven-roasted to get that delicious caramelized taste. The rich flavors of the fork-tender meat were enhanced by the sauce which was so lip-smackingly good I simply wanted more! A serving of coleslaw and fries complemented this exceptional dish.

Chicken Chop - RM16.90++

If you prefer chicken to beef, the Chicken Chop from the El Classico section is a must-try. The breaded boneless chicken is well-seasoned and deep fried until it becomes crispy. The generously portioned chicken is served with salad, coleslaw and fries.  There are 4 choices of gravy - sweet & sour, black pepper, mushroom and brown sauce. We had the mushroom gravy but I’m sure the other choices are equally as good.

Fish & Chips - RM16.90++

Non-meat lovers need not despair; Fish & Chips is available from the El Classico section and it is absolutely yummy. The crumbed Dory fish fillet is deep fried until the batter becomes golden brown. The result is a piece of fish that is crispy on the outside but moist and flaky on the inside.  Served with salad, coleslaw, fries and tartar sauce, Moon’s Kitchen’s version of this classic English dish did not disappoint.

Lil Marco Polo - RM11.90++

The kids simply loved their choice of dishes from The Junior Chef section. The Lil Marco Polo is a 170gm grilled piece of chicken served with a delicious cordon bleu cheese sauce. The chef used the sauce to create a pretty pattern on the plate which makes the dish looks more appealing especially if your little one is a fussy eater.

Tempura Chicken Nuggets - RM8.90++

The kids were delighted to find that chicken nuggets were on the menu and they gave their two thumbs up to the tender, juicy chicken! The 6pcs of chicken nuggets in tempura batter were fried to golden perfection. Served with fries, salad and mayo on the side, this is a dish that any kid (or grown-up for that matter!) would simply enjoy.

After such a scrumptious lunch, we were looking forward to round out our meal with some desserts. Unfortunately, the cake display stands on the counter were empty. But with hardly any room left in our tummies, we didn’t bother to ask if there’s anything else available.

Our lunch cost RM174.25, inclusive of 6 Fresh Fruit Juices (Milky Carrot, Fresh Green Apple and Fresh Watermelon) at RM7.00 each and 1 take-away of the Little Mermaid from the Junior Chef section (single piece of deep-fried tempura fish fillet served with fries and tartar sauce). 

If you like Western food and are a fan of red meat, then this is THE one place you shouldn’t miss. The quality of the food is truly top-notch and the prices are fairly affordable. If there’s anything that this place needs to improve, it would be the time it takes for your order to arrive. However, the taste and presentation of your food makes it totally worth the wait!

I’m looking forward to return to Moon’s Kitchen and try the other dishes on the menu, especially their Lobster Thermidor (got to check if lobsters are in stock first!), Lamb Ribs and the Black Pepper Steak. Just looking at the pictures of these dishes on Moon’s Kitchen’s Facebook page is making me drool already!
