Kampung chicken @ Kar Heong

Free range chicken, more commonly known as kampung chicken in Malaysia is a delicacy to most white meat lovers here. The reason? Their flesh tends to be more springy and succulent compared to their farm bred brethren. Must be all the exercise they are getting!

Anyway Kar Heong at SS14 Subang Jaya is a pretty well known restaurant which specialises in kampung chicken. Having heard good things about this place from my colleagues, I decided to pay them a visit one fine evening for dinner.

Ze chicken awaits!

Can't go without a drink now can I?

Ipoh hor fun (flat rice noodles)

The star of the show, the kampung chicken!

Prawn wantans

One crunchy prawn indeed!

The menu for the night is as follows: Ipoh hor fun with kampung chicken (drumstick) @ RM6.50, 10 prawn wantans (medium serving) @ RM6 and not forgetting the herbal drink @ RM1.30. Not too expensive considering the size of the dishes.

The noodles were smooth and glided down the throat. The soup was slurping-ly delicious too, so much so that I pretty much emptied the bowl. The kampung chicken was great, the texture and the taste of the meat was spot on. No mistaking this one for a farm bred chicken indeed. As for the prawn wantans, each mouthful was crunchy and juicy. Fresh prawns indeed, although don't expect huge sized ones.

Other stuff on the menu included char siew (BBQ pork) and siew yoke (roasted pork). Actually I wanted to order the siew yoke but they ran out! Definately something to try on my next visit.

I would say that Kar Heong pretty much deserves the great reviews it's been getting. In fact this place might even give the vaunted Soo Kee a challenge (although Soo Kee doesn't serve kampung chicken). Two thumbs up for Kar Heong! =D

Direction wise Kar Heong is located before Yu Kee (the famous bak kut teh place) on the same street. You can't miss it really. Enjoy!
