Wong Koh Kee is a classic culinary gem.
A 3rd generation business with almost 80 years of history, Wong Koh Kee retains simplicity in everything; its recipes, the venue, the furniture, the cutleries and even the order taking procedure.
Heck, even its staff are ancient.
But that’s the charm you see, for this is one venue to head to for a taste of yesteryears’ cuisine, the sort that your grandparents would dish out; cheap, tasty, no frills and prepared via traditional methods.

Available only for lunch, be prepared to eat and go, for the place is perpetually crowded and table turnovers is high.
You can linger if you wish but I doubt your conscience (unless you have absolutely none) will allow you to dawdle when the old waiters not-to-discreetly clear away your plates plus the many pair of eyes boring into you as they stand in queue for a seat in the shop.

I’m not entirely sure why, but it seems that I eat a lot more chicken rice in Seremban than I do in KL.
Maybe it is because Seremban has 2 particularly famous chicken rice outlets; one the “Diamond Chicken Rice” and another is this one; popular for their porridge and well, the chicken.
And my good friend Kevin who is Seremban boy and had stayed in this little town all his life got me hooked to his favourite chicken rice at Continental Hotel. Many thanks to him for sharing this gem (post HERE).
For Restoran Seremban Chicken Porridge, I was only interested in the chicken of course, since I’m not a porridge fan at all.
While hordes of hungry diners wait imprudently for their Diamond Chicken Rice and tolerated poor service at Restoran Chai Hong, we tucked into cheap, gratifying chicken rice topped with succulent, smooth chicken at this unassuming chicken rice stall within the Continental Hotel building.
This no name stall is manned by a friendly, patient and efficient old couple.
If anyone deserves business, it would be them.
My first visit was in September 2015 and likely my last.
The chicken rice is no doubt tasty, but with such prices, the long wait and the we-don’t-need-your-business attitude, it won’t be a place that I’ll recommend freely.
Eating Thai food in Ipoh? Why?? Well, I had similar reservations when my trusted Ipoh guide Brian bought the topic up. However over the years, I’ve learnt that if Brian recommends it, it will…
The Sunday morning mission for this Penang char-boh (girl) was to savour some hometown delicacies after being repetitively assaulted by the delectable images of assam laksa shared on Facebook.
There used to be a time when ang-moh (western) food are all about chicken chop, steak, black pepper chicken, fish and chips and of course, mushroom soup.
Having garlic bread with a bowl of mushroom soup followed by a chicken chop was considered a celebratory meal, or a weekend treat back then in Penang for our family.
I recall the chicken chop vividly; chicken thigh coated in crisp batter and drowned in tasty, brown sauce plus sides of fries with slices of cucumber and tomatoes.
Now I refer to these as old school western food, since “western food” has taken on a whole new parameters now.
