The serving staff, James can get real snobbish and impatient during weekdays but he’ll greet you as “Brother” or “Man” after peak hours. Funny character.
“Boon Fei Sao” (half fat and half lean) is our default order because too much fat is gross while the leanest pieces are not always tender. Boon Fei Sao is wonderfully tender and so, so succulent.
The crispy skin chicken is not your average roasted chicken that we found at anywhere else. It does require some skill to keep the chicken moist and the skin crispy because the chicken has to be air dried for hours so the skin becomes crispy when it is being deep fried. If I were to rank among the three, it would be crispy skin chicken, cha siu and finally roasted pork. Pricing is quite reasonable, it ranges from RM 5 (plain cha siu rice) to RM 10 per person (cha siu+siu yoke+chicken with rice).

the uncle is damn rude. he shouts and growls at customers and pushes them if they’re in his way — and he even scolded a little toddler for not eating. when confronted, he scoffs, saying “If you want better service, go to a hotel lar”.
seriously, tsk tsk tsk…!

What is so good about it? I was curious about it since i read so many good reviews about it. I asked the tauke to give me all the best dishes he can give me since i love good food. I waited for my dish to arrive and was awed at 1st by the dish. Then when i tried it i realized something.
This place is to over rated.
There is nothing so great about all the dishes, even this review seems weird, and me as a food lover of all things Chinese or Malaysian i find nothing special about it. Honestly, i gave the tauke a look that says “errrr…ok….so what?”

Stupid boss with bad attitude and chicken rice is just normal

I got a plain chicken breast rice for RM6.50 today, so damn expensive! The soup is so damn salty which is bad for health. Over rated. nuu~

Out of all the chicken rice I’d tried, this shop is one of the WORST! I am not really understand why you praise this shop like al-mighty god like chicken rice especially in Malaysia where there are so many strong chicken rice shop around!
The worst is the rude service by that stupid uncle, OMG, he thought himself is a CEO of listed company? I was there as a Customer who feed his mouth but in turn I was being treated like I am begging rice from him?!
So, my conclusion is, the food is NO good, service is NO good, price is NO good, environment also NO good…
