The last time I tried to come here just 15 mins before their closing time, I was informed that they had sold out for that weekday night! That just show this place is so popular and the night I was here, the place was packed and we had to wait for a table.

The menu is very standard, just claypot chicken rice in its original form… either you have it plain, add salted fish, add chinese sausages, add egg or with extra chicken. I think that is the way it should really be with speciality store like this, no point have so many fancy options and dilute the original dish. The claypot chicken rice here are all still cooked with charcoal and that is how claypot chicken rice should be cooked too!

A small chicken rice starts at RM7.00 and the big one meant for 2 pax starts at RM13.00 with the various options mentioned above. A varieties of steamed soup is offered all flat at RM5 for a small pot good for 1 or 2 person to share in my opinion. There are also various vegetables and drinks to offer.

This is how ordering here works, once you get a table, the workers place empty plates and cutleries on your table and a menu. They will only take your drinks order on the table. Once you have decided what you want to eat, then you proceed to the counter at the kitchen, let the lady know your table number and what you want to order.

While waiting for our orders, Ah Fei was providing feedback telling me that I need to update my blog more.. haha… ok ok.. noted, will try to update more ya!

We took 2 big and 1 small claypot chicken rice, add with added salted fish and sausages. We share each pot with all 5 of us and funny thing is each pot tasted different. I think the kitchen must be rushing for the crowd… cause the first small pot was just ok, the second pot was good but the third pot is quite burnt.

Usually when its a bit burnt its fine and we would purposely want the “fan chew” or burnt rice as its crunchy and nice but the rice is not burnt harden, still soft but have this strong burnt taste on the third pot.

Anyway, other than the third pot, judging from the second pot, the rice does not stick and not too dry either so I guess that is why the shop is so packed! I didn’t try the soup, so can’t comment on that. But anyway, thumbs up to the shop for maintaining the good taste and authentic style of claypot chicken rice.
