Coincidentally opened two doors away from Gold Chili, the famous buttermilk chicken restaurant in Subang Jaya, Buttermilk Kitchen has been up and running for about 2 months now. When we asked them about why did they choose to open the restaurant so close to an eatery that has been doing business for almost 10 years the owner, Wilson Wong, said that it was never his intention to do so, but there was a vacancy shop nearby and he knew that SS15 is an area that is so often visited by many people especially students.
Wilson worked as a banker for 10 years but always had the passion inside of him to open up his own F&B business. It took a few years for it to happen, but in those years with the help of his loving and supportive mother, he took part in road shows such Riuh In The City, sold his food on Food Panda and other different events to gain the exposure and give people a taste of what Buttermilk Kitchen is all about. They begun receiving positive feedback which helped them gain confidence to finally open a physical shop.
Many of you might be thinking, why open another restaurant that sells buttermilk dishes when there's so many others already? To be honest what makes this restaurant very different is that the recipes are specially and personally crafted by the Wilson's mom. She takes time to go through every single detail of the recipe to ensure that what they serve on the plates in top quality.
At Buttermilk Kitchen you do not only have the well-known buttermilk chicken rice, but you can also have the curry buttermilk chicken, fried rice with buttermilk chicken and everyone's favorite Nasi Lemak, but with a twist. The crowd tends to build up at different hours of the day and sometimes it's so crazy that they have to close the shop earlier because they are completely sold out! So be sure to get yourself there early as you really don't want to miss out!
For starters, we had the "BMK Fried Rice Buttermilk." It's a simple Chinese styled fried rice topped with an egg that comes together with buttermilk chicken pieces. It's a dish definitely worth trying, the chicken pieces are marinated to perfection and only fried upon order. So do expect really crispy chicken pieces and don't forget to dip it in the buttermilk sauce!
