What an interesting post title! Kangsar Road Tender Soft Poached Chicken Cheaper & Tastier Than Cintra Street??

Many of you would asking,  sure or not? :P ~

i guess you have to prove it yourself as i & Jason were really unsatisfied with the value of money and quality has been served at the Cintra street’s chicken & fish porridge. A bowl of porridge yet just have few pieces of thinly slice fish meat it cost us RM5. Same serving and price for the chicken as well.

They are using LOWEST GRADE grain of rice (or even is crush rice) to cook the porridge. Just simply make a comparison with theirs and your home-cook porridge, and you would know the different of low grade and high grade of grain for the porridge.

If you are around town and have the urge and craving for chicken rice at night, should give this kangsar road corner coffee shop house chicken rice a try.

Kangsar Road is a slip road to the Kimberly Street & Kuala Kangsar Road, which just opposite the chowraster market exit.

Poached Chicken

The chicken is simply succulent, smooth & tender. The skin is slightly smooth and springy. Dash of fragrant sesame oil has added in the flavourful Soy sauce mixture and it was simply salty, sharp and appetising to match with the chicken, porridge & chicken rice too. Do opt for the whole leg if you love the smooth and tender texture. But for those who are unlike the pinkies near to the bones, do choose the breast portion, it has no sign of rough and tough feeling at all. And i like the way they serve the poach chicken with lots of finely julienne spring onions.

i would give 4/5 for taste & texture.

Chicken Porridge

They serve pure (only) porridge eat it with poach chicken separate OR porridge with finely chop chicken meat.

I would not say they are using quality grain to cook the porridge, but this would be definitely tastier and smoother then the cintra street’s porridge. Porridge came with humble portion, and it  has a mild chicken flavour (dont get me wrong, the chicken flavour is not from chicken stock/essence. the taste is genuine and came from the chicken itself) inside the porridge , and sesame oil, preserved vegetables (dong chai) , julienne ginger, spring onions & chinese cruller was served in the bowl.

Simple and nice, but the porridge can be watery pretty fast, so better finish it when its still warm.

i would give 3.8/5 for taste & texture.

Sweet Vinegar Pork Trotter

Ooo…the Pork trotter skin so shinny…

The aroma of the vinegar & the fatty trotter was so tempting. The meat was pretty tender, sweet & sour on the right balance without oiliness. A very good dish to go with white rice.

i would give 3.9/5 for taste & texture.

Braised Chicken Leg

Chicken leg without deep frying process, taste of mushroom slightly heavier compare to the others, but it was still good, the shitake mushroom & chicken leg braised until very tender, and the skin was very de smooth.

i would give 3.9/5 for this dish

They have several types of chicken for sale here other then poached. Here you have Crispy Fried Chicken with Plum Sauce, and BBQ Chicken.

Fried Chicken with Plum Sauce

De-boned chicken whole leg dipped into the batter to deep fried until perfection. Thin crispy layer batter, soft and smooth chicken drenched on appetising sour plum sauce. I found the chicken was not perfectly seasoned with salt, so its doesn’t brings up the flavour. Probably they wish to match the chicken with the sauce, but i would rather prefer eat it without any sauce, fluffy & crispy OR just dip in the sauce. The batter is not suitable for drench the sauce all in, and it would be soggy very fast. Anyway, is good to ask them to serve the chicken with the sauce separately. The taste vice is still alright.

i would give 3.7/5 for this dish

BBQ chicken

Pan grill chicken whole leg with sweet BBQ flavor. It taste like Char siew, too sweet to my liking, abit jilat….heee

i would give 3.3/5 for taste, texture would be 3.8

At the end of the day, they are still cheaper then the cintra street……….hahaha.

Btw, the stall is operating by 2 persons. The mother (the stall owner ), selling hokkien mee, pork trotter noodle (alot of varieties)…..etc in the morning to cater the Chowraster Market crowd. And at night operates by the daughter and sells chicken rice & porridge. Sure will try out the mother’s food in the morning one day.

P/s: The Kopitiam serve hawthorn berries (Shan cha) drink.

On average, I would give this place:

* 3.9/5 for value
* 3.9/5 for taste & texture
* 3.8/5 for service
* 4.0/5 for cleanliness
* 3.5/5 for atmosphere
