A few months ago I blogged about the Curry Laksa in USJ14 in this kopitiam called Mei Sek. This is a corner coffeeshop in the row of shops near the fruit stalls in USJ14. I was told that in the evening, that same kopitiam has a Chicken Rice stall which is very good.
So that was how one evening some weeks ago we decided to give the Chicken a try, haha! They start at about 6pm and their serving crew is unmistakable – they have yellow & red uniform – very professional-looking with caps and all!
I must say their poached chicken – and they only have poached ones – was pretty good: smooth & tender. Dunk them into some pounded ginger and chilli sauce, this will surely satiate your chicken pangs.
You can have a choice of kampung chicken or town/pasar chicken, the former being more flavourful and of course, more expensive.
You can opt to have their oily rice or kwayteow to go with the poached chicken. Being the true blue Ipohite that I am, I of course opted for the Soup Kwayteow or Hor-fun as we like to call it. It came with a few strands of kuchai and limp taugeh. I would say the kwayteow in Kar Heong was better…. nevertheless it provided the necessary carbs for this meal.
For variety, you can order their Fookchow Fishballs – smooth fishpaste encasing some minced pork, served in seaweed soup… good source of iodine, no?
And if you need some fibre, you have a few choices of greenies – I had my fave baby lettuce, slathered in oyster sauce and with generous toppings of fried shallots.
And that is what I call a simple but satisfying true Malaysian meal of the chicken kind :-))
My rating: 6/10

CUMI & CIKI says

PureGlutton says
Sean: Looking again at the chicken pic… hmmm, u r right – they do look like they're bowing, LOL! Easy to spot this place: from the Summit cross-road traffic lights, go straight as if heading for Puchong… the coffeeshop is on the left, facing the main road, near where the fruit stalls are. Dont even need to turn into Taipan.
PureGlutton says
SimpleGirl: The chicken was good… but i didnt try their taugeh, except for the little bit tat was incl in the kwayteow.
PureGlutton says
J2Kfm: Hehe, the chicken pic was fascinating eh?!
PureGlutton says
Qwazymonkey & World Windows: Give it a try if you're in the Subang area during dinner time!
PureGlutton says
TNG: Well, if u ever have CR pangs and happen to be in the vicinity, it's worth a try!
PureGlutton says
Joe, Ciki: Well, CR is a firm m'sian favourite, lol!
thule a.k.a leo says
I don't set any standard when it comes to chicken rice.. really!!!
For me, as long as the chicken meat is firm and succulent… I just down into my stomach and go!
USJ14 is almost at the end of UEP Subang Jaya! One of the most congested place in town
reanaclaire says

PureGlutton says

UnkaLeong says
I must ask dad where it is he goes to have his chicken rice fix, nearby your area some more. Will get rough directions and pass to you soon 🙂 But I remember it's located in a coffee shop opposite a police station. Hahaha 😛
PureGlutton says
mycookinghut: It's a popular m'sian favourite, hehe!
PureGlutton says
Unka: Are u talking abt KK? I do know tat coffeeshop in front of the police station but i'd say the CR there is so-so only 😉
Timothy Low says
Chicken looks smooth. It's been a while since I gone back to USJ. I used to spend most of my time in USJ since I live there but not anymore since I moved out 3 years ago. Missing all the good food there. …
PureGlutton says
Hi Tim, yeah I moved out of USJ too but still go back there to look for food, haha!
