Wei Ji Claypot Chicken Rice, Setapak
How good can a claypot chicken rice be? That was the question in my mind.
Tucked in the neighbourhood, hidden amongst the houses, we went in to a fully occupied restaurant with tables of hungry and half-eating customers. We queued up and got a number. Not long after, we got a table.
We placed our orders- the menu was limited and every table had similar dishes. The wait for dinner took longer.
Signature dish- Claypot Chicken Rice with salted fish to add to taste. Once stirred, the rice was well coloured and well cooked- grain by grain, i chewed and swallowed. But it was the chicken pieces that i dug more for. Chunky, meaty but tender and tasty. This came with chinese sausages too.
Usually eaten with claypot chicken rice, this Raddish Soup was simple but sufficient. Frankly i was expecting lotus root soup but i enjoyed this mix of raddish pieces, meat and chicken feet.
Price was reasonably cheap. Service was ok (sometimes due to the crowd they can be a little rough). Food-wise, i wasn't entirely blown away but at least now, if i am craving for claypot chicken rice, i will have a place in mind. Prepare to wait.

Was there today (4/10/2015) late after the peak hour dinner crowd. The claypot chicken rice still as good as described. It was late and they were out of the soup but I am not complaining. I will definitely go back.
ReplyDeleteHi Gan. It is good you had a pleasant experience at the eatery. Yeah, arriving late, will be able to avoid the peak crowd but i'm sure you will want to try the soup someday.
