Restoran Kong Sai (Puchong)

Kong Sai reigns as Puchong's top chicken rice contender, so here's where you should go for your next family dinner! The environment is favourable, whether you get a table in the air-conditioned indoors or outdoors where it's cool in the evenings. Head straight for the Village Chicken (from RM14), a no-frills poached chicken that relies on its silky smooth flesh to arouse tastebuds. Topped with heaps of fresh coriander, the dish is a perfect companion to their deeply flavoured oiled rice. For a flavour boost, look to the restaurant's specialty sauces. Both the trademark chicken rice chilli sauce as well as a unique concoction made of chopped ginger, scallions and coriander are key to Kong Sai's success. Apart from chicken, there is also a popular dish of Braised Curry Pork Ribs (RM13) that comes in a lush curry sauce. Otherwise, finish dinner with nourishing soups. The soothing Herbal Black Chicken Soup (RM8) is quick to sell out, thanks to its sweet, soothing notes sure to remind you of home.
Avg price per person: RM15

I'm #teamnoodle some of the time, but I'm #teamchickenrice ALL of the time. You know something’s good when you can’t. stop. eating. and Kong Sai poached chicken rice totally got me hooked! Huge heaping pile of silky golden chicken and that is the bare minimum. Look at the generous amount of coriander! I love coriander. But the best bit? Their signature sauce of finely-chopped ginger, coriander and scallions doused in soy sauce, chicken and sesame oil. Don’t overlook how good the chilli is too. Mix them all together and cue drools. It’s a bit spendy but worth trying, at least once.

Pro tip: Get the rice cooked in chicken oil. Non-negotiable.
