    KL Viya Chicken RIceNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Originally hailing from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Wiya Chicken Rice is definitely one of its kind! While chicken rice is hard to find in Sabah and extremely easy to find here in Kuala Lumpur, Wiya Chicken Rice is unique as they serve their rice in a pyramid shaped cone. Imagine your nasi lemak wrapped in banana leaf, but it’s fragrant chicken rice instead. Despite its adorable touch with the rice, it tastes just like any other decent chicken rice there is out there.

    Soya Sauce Chicken RiceNon halal 01f78899591256b47a2708a65f6538333b86089a30fbd22545a41deece4ea490

    Located at a narrow alley way of hawker centres of Jalan Ipoh and the intersection of Jalan Kuching, not only does this stall serve chicken rice, they also serve soup with huge pork balls! The soya sauce used for the chicken dressing is not the regular ones you get to taste outside, it is a special blend of a denser recipe. Hence, the colour of the sauce is darker too.
    Tips

    Make the bean sprouts, pork ball soup and chicken rice a combo to your meal – it’s wonderful!

    The Segambut Chicken Rice is making its name up the charts with its best chicken rice title in the big city of KL. If you’re looking for any landmarks around this area as GPS doesn’t really direct you very clearly, the stall is under a big tree and near a Public Bank. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to sit at the shaded area as the place is not air-conditioned. Its menu is straight forward – choose either (or more as you please) the whole leg, thigh, ribs or/and wings. Worthy and delicious to its taste, prepare to set the navigation on that GPS of yours!

    Located just a few doors away from the Swiss Hotel, it is also near Petaling Street if you’re not familiar with the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur. One thing that separates the chicken rice in Kam Kee and other places is that Kam Kee uses both free-ranged and farm-ranged chickens. Besides chicken, they also serve beef brisket soup which not many chicken rice places would provide. Reasonably priced and satisfying to the tummy!
    Tips

    Order the free-ranged chicken for juicier and slightly more tender meat!

    This is the most famous roast pork and chicken rice stall in the whole area of Pudu! It is said that the waiters of this famous stall won’t take your orders after 12.30pm as crowds gather everyday just to get a piece of their famous and crispy roast pork!
