3 wise monkeys – Setia Walk, Puchong

3 wise monkeys, you have seen or heard this phrase before origin from a famous proverb from Japan, “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil”. This phrase suggest us in having a good mind, speech and action, but in this case the restaurant gave it a twist, “see the party, eat the party and drink the party!” the newly twisted phrase sounds better when it’s Friday night, time to have some good food!

3 wise monkeys is a restaurant, Bistro and bar located in Setia Walk, Puchong established last year, May and it is a non-halal restaurant.

The above photo was taken outside their shop, the logo in this photo in not very clear, I will have clearer later in the post. I would say it will be a nice hangout place during the night due to the luminance of the warm color lights. They also have a place specifically build for beer drinkers to hangout and chat.

 

Nice environment

One thing to keep in mind is that their menu design, is quite HUGE and LONG just like newspaper size, so I have a little hard time in flipping back and forth when choosing my choice of dinner there (you will be seeing a bunch of people doing kung fu flipping with the menu on their seats)

Ok back to the food I ordered:

Main course

Rib Eye Steak (RM38.00)

Prime Rib Eye Cuts. Sautéed Potatoes. Grilled vegetables. And a pick of choice for the sauce topping (with in this case black pepper sauce)

Pizza

Margherita – Monkey Story (RM19.00)

Classic Cheese Pizza Garnished with Basil and Oregano

For the pizza part, I am not sure why they added the different types of “Monkey” word at the end of the pizza menu, other pizzas such as:

•  Pig Out – Hungry Monkey (Their signature pizza)
• Vegetarian – Monkey Zen
• Pepperoni – 3WMKYs Fav (3 Wise Monkeys favourite)
•  Seafood – Scuba Monkey
•  Hawaiian – Bikini Monkey

Besides this there are some funny names in the menu such as Parma ham and rocket – Rocket to the moon, Spicy BBQ Pork Special – Monkey on Fire (Wait …. What?) and much more even crazier names, an interesting menu to discover, I believe the purpose is to have you in an food-hunting adventure, because since you do not really know what it taste like by looking the name, you might as well forget about what to expect it, well-played monkeys.

Around 10 minutes, the pizza is served

Yummy cheese pizza

Well the looks of the pizza tells exactly like the menu, it’s just cheese garnished with Basil and Oregano, for you information Basil is a type of herbs largely used in South East Asia and Italian cuisine, part of a family of mints, on the other hand the Oregano is another type of herb which is also part of the mints family, it has more aromatic and it more like marjoram but less sweet due to its pungency, mostly used in making pizza, now this is the type of pizza with thin bread as its based, the cheese is nicely done without having it to be sticky that you need to make extra effort in slicing with knife several times to cut it off. The taste of this pizza, thanks to the Oregano and Basil, they give the pizza a little sharp smell which mixed with the taste of cheese, and because the thin bread, it did not quickly make your stomach full quickly, allow you to grab another slice in no time.

Not for long, the main course is served

Rib Eye Steak

Oh before I continue, the beef is cooked between medium to medium rare in terms of steak doneness, this might be their default steak doneness because I did not mention about how the steak is going to be, so they made it a medium. They offered a small amount of pepper sauce for the steak. I think the price for this meal is kind of cheap because maybe the beef is not from Australia, Australian steak cost more.

A medium rare steak

Alright actually to be honest I am pleased with the potatoes more than the steak, not that the steak is not good, but I give more credits to the potatoes, maybe because of the cooking style, the word “Sautéed” is in French, “Sauté” meaning to jump, meaning the potatoes are fried on the pan really quick, as you can see the potatoes are accompany with the fried garlic slices, made it very tasty and the smell are nice.

Nice potatoes

I think that is all about it for this dish, the grilled vegetable is just normal and has nothing else to comment about. In my opinion I think the vegetable potion is a little bit small though.
