Hong Kee is famed for its signature claypot chicken rice, a dish that beautifully combines fragrant, smoky flavors with a varied texture that sets it apart from typical rice dishes.

“ You can order food from the stall next to street. They also provide proper table and seat. It takes just a few minutes to get your food. The food was ok. Rice in the claypot is bit burn. Soup is quite bland Price is reasonable. ”
“ Just absolutely brilliant food, like a biryanis but much better. Crispy spicy delight with an egg on top wow, cooked for all to see, fantastic. Had clams and a prawn dish just so fresh and once I stirred the clay pot the rice with crunch and soft texture was divine. 10/10. ”
“ Finally had the chance to dine here. Roadside stall of claypot chicken. Taste wise is pretty decent and comparable to branded place. Tasty claypot with lots of charred at the bottom. Able to pair with simple greens of baked fish. We had a small sized sambal fish to taste. ”
“ One of the best claypot rice in the heart of KL! The flavour, texture and that smoky taste are sooo good. Also tried their Portuguese grill fish - super tasty and worth a try. Prices are pretty decent too. If you’re around Petaling Street hunting for good food, this spot is a must-try! ”
“ Food is excellent! A must try when visiting KL. Try the chicken claypot and the grilled fish. You may be seated outside, and they may have long queue sometimes, depending on day and events. Not sure but auntie who is like the boss is a little annoying. We were trying to ask for additional spicy sauce or flakes. But she declined and talked to there guy at there language (not sure what they are talking sbout) but it seems they are making fun of our request because the fish sauce is already a little spicy, we just wanted more spice. But it seems they made fun of our request. (But again not sure what they are talking about, i can only be sure that she declined and said no no no). KL is humid and hot most of the times, so if you are not the person who is comfortable eating outside (humid with street noise, people walking, cars around) this might be uncomfortable for you. Just be ready when you dine here coz experience is not the usual dining experience. Lots of options around who offers almost same menu so you may wsnna try others too if you want. This is our exp, you may have diff exp. Just sharing and being honest ”
