Heun Kee Claypot Chicken Rice @ Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Mum wanted to try out the famous claypot chicken rice in Pudu. For the first timer who is going there, people usually will have some difficulty locating this area because it is located near the round about, and near the Pudu Market.

When you walk towards the shop , you'll find the staff busy preparing and cooking. Note that charcoal stoves are used to cook the rice so it is tastier and more fragrant.

The shop have air-conditioner, which is a plus sign for me, given that the weather have been extremely hot. But most importantly, the place was neat and clean, and their wall have pictures of the dishes they served.

 

Since there were  only 2 of us, mum ordered a medium size claypot chicken rice. Apparently they can be served in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. Found myself having two big helpings of the rice. Anyway, the claypot chicken rice I have was not bad, somehow it taste like any other claypot chicken rice that I ate. I was not too sure whether it was me but I found the rice was kinda hard or a bit too dry for my liking. I usually prefer rice that is mushy or a bit wet. 

For soup lovers, this shop served various kind of soup. 

Green vegetables, boiled and served with garlic and sauce. 

Mum couldn't resist ordering a bowl of pig’s stomach in white pepper soup. The pig’s stomach was something that I never really like but according to my mum, it was tender since she loves it, while I on the other hand prefer the soup. I found the soup quite tasty, but the white pepper they put inside wasn't as hot or spicy that I wanted. However, it's worth trying though.

One word of advice, the place is known to be packed so if possible, it's advisable to go early. We arrived at 6pm and 15 minutes later the place was packed.  Alternatively, you can call them to order your food earlier to avoid waiting for too long or takeaway. Business Hours are from 11.00am – 9.30pm, and closed every 1st and 3rd Thursday.
