Kedai Makanan Kim Poh @ Segambut
I have been searching high and low for a good claypot chicken rice at my neighbourhood and was found a rather great one but it was closed down after my maiden visit #howsad ~>_<~
Recently I’ve read from KY’s blog on his visit to Kedai Makanan Kim Poh for claypot chicken rice and I was immediately enthralled by the dark mahogany hued rice and of course the steamed soup too! With the most efficient speed, I’ve paid this place a visit last Saturday for lunch 😛
What greeted us once we reached at Kedai Makanan Kim Poh was a few charcoal stoves, testament of a good claypot chicken rice I’m going to have? Continue reading please~~~
The food preparation counter and the cooking station at the facade, manned by a middle aged man which I believe is the boss of the restaurant.
No frills kopitiam setting, slightly worn down but luckily the environment was bright and airy.
Our order of claypot chicken rice for 2 pax arrived pipping hot in jiffy with salted fish and julienned ginger served separately in a saucer.
Topped with chicken pieces, Chinese sausages (lap cheong) and doused with house special special soy sauce. The rice had a discernible smoky aroma, mixed up all the ingredients included the ginger and salted fish, you will be rewarded with a pot of heavenly pleasure. The flavors was good and the chicken was tender enough but I wish there was more sauce and chicken given for our pot of rice.
Duck Meat & Salted Vegetable Soup
There are a few choices of soup and I opted for this duck meat & salted vegetable soup which definitely got off on the right foot! The soup was fabulously flavorful with a warming peppery end note. I enjoyed it till the last drop included polished off all the duck meat and salted vegetables!
Blanched Lettuce with Oyster Sauce
The Vitamin C requirement 😛
2 pax portion was too small to be shared among us (2 adults + a kid), so we had another 1 pax portion of claypot chicken rice which was had more sufficient sauce rendering a more flavorful rice mixture.
Total bill was RM 38.00 with 2 claypots chicken rice (2 pax & 1 pax portion), 1 steamed soup, 1 vegetable and 2 iced barley drink.
Verdict: The chicken rice served was above average in my books and definitely don’t mind to revisit.

the chicken and the “sausage” portion need more!!! 😛
Yalor, the portion was not sufficient for that pot of rice 😛
anything in claypot, i LIKE!! and certainly this claypot chicken rice.. the salted fish and ginger served separately, i wonder the chicken rice still got the hint of ginger and salted fish?? actually when it comes to claypot chicken rice, i can just eat the rice only (no need chicken and sausage)~~ :p
Come, let’s go eat together! Just give me a little rice then I’ll take all your chicken & lap cheong, LOL
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for your recommendation and my next target will be the famous fried chicken rice at that area too!
Charcoal claypot rice, must be real good!
🙂
Definitely will visit this place when I am back to Malaysia! It looks so so so good!
Hope you can enjoy it~ Btw in which country r u now?
I love claypot chicken rice as they smell nice esp cooking with charcoal! 1st time see this kind of serving (put the chicken on top of the rice instead of mix it up)
Eh, I thought this is the common way to serve claypot chicken rice with chicken pieces on top then mix by the customer?
