Koon Kee claypot chicken rice

Sometimes, we take things for granted. Like this purportedly famous claypot chicken rice. Its smack right in the middle of my neighbourhood and I have only ate there for less than 5 times ( and I have been staying at my current house for 3 years already ;p).

Koon Kee claypot chicken rice.. sorry it look rather 'tossed'.. again I forgot to take the pix before i attacked the food..

Koon Kee claypot chicken rice is famous around PJ, heck, I've even seen people travelling up from KL to eat this. They only operate in the evenings, for dinners, as during day time, this shop serves hawker fare. Business is usually good, even on weekdays. I had dinner with last-of-the-dragon there some time back, and we ordered claypot for two. The steaming hot claypot came loaded with the fragrant smell of burnt rice(this is my favourite, i love eatin the burnt parts), well marinated tender chicken, chinese wax sausage (lap cheong) and salted fish. The combination does complement each other well, a great mix of flavours fills in with every mouthful. The serving is rather large, so usually we cant finish the whole meal. If you are around PJ, especially near Damansara Jaya (where good food is scarce..kekekeke), do give this a try.

The stall also serves steamed soups such as watercress soup, old cucumber soup, lotus roots soup etc and veg. Price: RM12.50 for claypot for 2 persons (2 sizes, single or double). Soup ranges from RM4- RM6. Note though, on very busy days, the wait can be rather long, around 30 mins.

Koon Kee claypot chicken rice is located at Atria shopping centre square, facing out, next to Lotus restaurant (there's an open air parking between Lotus and Koon Kee).
