Eat at Kee Kee's!
I'm sure most of you peeps living in the Klang Valley have heard about the famous Kee Kee Chicken Rice place. Since I stay nearby, I've been eating there since the stall first opened way back in 1998. At that time, business wasn't too brisk due to the competition from the bak kut teh stall which was located in the same restaurant. The bak kut teh stall closed down during the J.E. scare and business for Kee Kee boomed ever since.
How's that for a bit of history in a food review? LOL! Without further ado, I present the pictures!
Inside here Kee Kee awaits (picture courtesy of rasarasa.net)
Fluffy but not too oily
Chicken! That's a 1/4 chicken drumstick portion btw
Mixed innards - intestines and gizzards
Tender, succulent but fatty
Only a small amount of bones remain

A normal packet of chicken rice costs RM3.50. If you were to order a portion for one person (yat kor wai in Cantonese) it would set you back around RM6 (this is different from ordering one packet of chicken rice, you get more). But if you wanted the drumstick portion, the minimum order is a 1/4 chicken portion which would set you back around RM12. This is the only way to get your hands on a drumstick because Mr. Lim will refuse to sell it to you any other way (unless of course you order 1/2 a chicken or a whole one).
Besides the usual deep fried and steamed chickens and the assorted innards, you can get the usual bean sprouts here too. No pork, no duck. Just chickens! You also get an unlimited free flow of soup, self service though.
IMHO the steamed chicken here is the best I've ever tasted. The Bentong style of cooking where the steamed chicken is dunked into ice water immediately after cooking ensures that there the fat under the skin forms into a nice juicy layer, while keeping the chicken meat firm and tender. 9/10 for the chicken! People who are adverse to fatty food need not apply though. LOL! Innards are good, but I guess it will not differ that much from other places. The rice is fluffy and not too oily, but there are off-days where the rice will be not be fully cooked.
If you look around while you are digging into your chicken rice, you'll notice that almost every customer chooses to have the steamed chicken. This is because his deep fried chicken...needs work (you can get better elsewhere). You have been warned!
Kee Kee is located inside Yat Yeh Hing Restaurant and it opens from 10.45 a.m. right until all the chickens are sold old (which is normally around 3 p.m.) To get here, head towards Sunway/Subang from 1-U using the LDP. Go straight all the way until you can see the Kelana Jaya LRT station on your left. Continue on, turn left at the first turning you see and Yat Yeh Hing will be right in front of you.
Enjoy your chicken!
