I have always wanted to learn how to marinate and fry a good plate of fried chicken. How to marinate it is one thing and how to fry it is another thing altogether. Both must be done in the correct way in order for the results to be perfect. Well, I don’t think I would be able to share with you any recipe for fried chicken, but I can certainly share with you my latest find on a really good fried chicken rice shop.

If you are staying in Segambut, Kepong or Sentul, you would probably know Segambut Chicken Rice stall by now. They are well-known for their fried chicken rice.

We ordered the lower part of the chicken which was priced at RM8.00. Although it is quite pricey compared to our normal steamed or roasted chicken rice, the portion here is quite big. The fried chicken was marinated to perfection. It was crunchy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside. This is so good that I can eat this everyday.

Service was quite fast as the chickens were fried before-hand and will be cutted and served upon order. If you like your chicken spicy, they have their own custom made chili sauce.

Segambut Chicken Rice is only open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I got to warn you, if you are not familiar with this place, you might not find Segambut Chicken Rice. So you might want to do some research on Google map beforehand. To help you out, to reach Segambut Chicken Rice, from Public Bank Segambut, go straight infront of Public Bank until you reach the end of the junction. Segambut Chicken Rice is located at the corner on your right under some trees.

It is not easy being a food blogger. The most difficult part is to find good post to be used as a topic. Yes, Malaysia is blessed with good and affordable food but I can honestly say here that I do not know much to enjoy the great food we have here in Malaysia. So the best way to discover great food still comes by the old fashion way which is by word of mouth.

I have heard about Keong Kee through a forumer one day but was quite skeptical about it as he mentioned that they serve great soup and wild boar curry. I remember asking myself. Soup? How great could that taste? Trusting his words, we went all the way to Kuala Lumpur that very night to try it out.

It turns out that this is our greatest find yet. The soup they served here are double-boiled, securing every flavour and every taste. It is just amazing. One thing I find interesting here is their Pigeon Herbal Soup. They added a whole pigeon in it.

The soup I love the most would be their Herbal Soup properly sealed in a Coconut.

The second best item I love here is the Wild Boar Curry. There is only one word that can be used to describe this dish – SPECTACULAR. The texture of the meat was just great. It wasn’t too tough and it wasn’t too soft. It was just right on the dot. The sweetness of the curry goes really well with the wild boar meat.

Moving on to the Salted Vegetable with Three Layered Pork, this dish is best had with rice. The pork just melts in our mouth. I loved it. This is a must ordered dish here.

There are many Bak Kut Teh restaurants around Kepong and Heng Bak Kut Teh is one of the best I have been to. Located at Taman Kepong Heng Bak Kut Teh has been around since 1963. Honestly, I have been staying here since 1980s and I really didn’t know that Heng BKT exists until VK brought me here one day. I guess they just moved to Kepong not too long ago.

Heng’s Bak Kut Teh favourite would be their “Sang Kuat Pou” priced at RM12.00. Sang Kuat Pou is a cooking style and in short, it basically means that the cook prepares your bak kut teh fresh from stratch upon order. This way, you can be assured that your bak kut teh is fresh unlike most bkt restaurants around which prepares their meat earlier. So if you are planning order this, remember to call them up and pre-order a bit earlier to avoid waiting for too long.

Stewed Bak Kut Teh, priced at RM12.00, is also one of my favourite dish here. The meat is so tender and the kuah goes really well with rice. Although the meat is a little bit fat, it was so delicious that we polished it off within minutes.

We were shopping at Sunway Giza Mall, Kota Damansara when we met a friend who then recommended us to try Okuchi, a Japanese restaurant for dinner. Okuchi is just a short walk from Sunway Giza Mall and it is located strategically in the middle of Dataran Sunway.

VK, as usual ordered his Salmon Sashimi. This beautifully decorated sashimi was very fresh. I find the portion for this is a little bit too small. I guess good stuffs only comes in small portion. That way, we tend to treasure it more.

Our order, Soft Shell Crab Sushi comes next. In contrast to salmon sashimi, the soft shell crab isn’t soft at all. It was really crunchy in the middle.

We also ordered another version of the soft shell crab which was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab with Mayonaise. Like the earlier one, the soft shell crab was really good. Really crunchy.

Afraid that he might get hungry later, VK also ordered their meatballs. Personally, I find the texture of the meat balls a little bit too soft. It will be better if it was a bit more chewy. Sad to say, after a few bites, we got tired of it.
