    Don’t let the typical sight of chicken hanging through a glass fool you here. On closer inspection and taste, one will realise that these poultry are deep fried, preceded with a session of charcoal grilling. This explains the tawny crisp you’ll enjoy on the skin, while the flesh remains moist and subtly sweet with a majority of natural flavours. 

    Tips

    It’s a stall in Yee Chia Ler Kopitiam.

    If you are in JB and craving for some authentic chicken rice, Seng Kee Chicken Rice is a must-visit. One of their must-try is, of course, none other than their steamed chicken rice. It is best paired with their soy sauce and chilli sauce as it enhances the flavour of the dish! The trick is to pour the bowl of soy sauce all over the chicken before you start eating it, but if you are one who loves saltiness a bit more than average people, you can just dip your chicken into the bowl of soy sauce. Tender and juicy, their steamed chicken is mouth-watering and worth coming back for!

    Tips

    Pair your steamed chicken with their fragrance signature oil rice!
