Welcome to Puchong Guide
Welcome to our blog.
Whether you are a resident of Puchong, working in Puchong, or own a business in Puchong, you will find our guide useful.
This blog is also for those who wants to know more about Puchong before making the decision to relocate to the area. There are so many new residential areas that have mushroomed over past 10 years. Many more are in the pipeline. So there's a lot of new communities being built in Puchong.
What will we cover in this blog? Well, almost anything and everything about Puchong. We will blog about the food in Puchong, the businesses in Puchong, the traffic jams (!!), the latest happenings, and anything we find interesting. We won't promise to have all the latest updates (that's where you come in to contribute) .
Why are we writing about Puchong? Well for one, one of the contributors to this blog happens to reside in Puchong for the last 15 years. So she should know a lot about Puchong (or does she?)
For another thing, Puchong happens to be the hot place now . In Chinese Cantonese, Puchong is often referred as "wong" , meaning, "gold mine" or something like it.
The LRT is going to be extended into Puchong township come 2014. So expect a lot of upheavals to the traffic situation.
This means more people will pass through Puchong. Isn't it exciting. And to think Puchong was once a tin mining area not many years ago.
If you have anything interesting that you want us to contribute, please leave your comments, and we will take it from there.
