KB Chicken Rice

Sis Jacq and Wei Chuen came along with me to Kuala Belait late this morning without having their breakfast (Sabahan pro-money-blogger even works during holiday it seems).

When we parked the car in front of the KB hawker stall, we were greeted by the delicious smell of chicken rice. Needless to say, they didn’t want to wander further and immediately plonk down at this stall.

Lovely yellow stall with juicy fat chicken steamed to perfection
A worthy sinful treat

As it was only 10 am, the place was deserted but I’m sure that they’re packed at lunchtime as their chicken tasted as good as it looks and smells.

A complete meal came with a bowl of soup, rice, a plate of chicken and chili sauce. Hot tea is available and self-service.

The 2 city-folks not used to the sight of seeing nobody else around them!

Besides the stalls, there were 2 huge oak trees and as a result, the place was so shady and even at 10 am, it was cool. Nowhere in KK will you get that!

While eating, I was also struck by how quiet the area was despite being just behind KB main street and even the Chung Hwa school bell rang loud and clear.

To the small-town-lover in me, this is the life. No noise, no rush. As expected, the city folks who are currently on a holiday with us are so “disturbed” by our peaceful land that they are both asleep right now. 9.00 p.m!

Sis Jacq Food Blog and Sis BF Wei Chuen will post their own versions of this Hainanese Chicken Rice in KB (one of these days) so do check their blogs.

    They served really good chicken rice!!!

    Actually they just reopened not long ago, I think one month to be precise.

    And now the stall is operated by the previous owner’s son-in-law. I hope its as good as what I tasted back in my teenage years.

    Nonnie, I see. No wonder I never really notice that place as a chix rice stall..but then again, I’m seldom over at that place. But they are good in my opinion :-)
