Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken

My picture does NOT do the chicken justice … Trust me …. it tastes WAY better than it looks.
Impostors are aplenty, but none that I’ve tried can wrest the crown from the defending champ. At RM16 per chick, on weekends and public holidays, you may have to call and book your chickens (no, not THAT chickens. Drop that naughty thought now … =P).
The portion is not big, but adequeate for sharing among 2, or gobbled up by one hungry soul. (which I normall do!) Herbs such as Dong Guai and Gei Zhi (Wolfberry) combined with the flavourful salt crystals used to bake the chicken wrapped in paper, creates a divine dish (or snack, depends on how you look at it). Tender meat falling off the bone, the best way to eat it is to incorporate your bare hands, barbaric instincts unleashed, and tear the pieces to oblivion. Muahaha …. =)

time warper : sometimes, the best things just got lost in time. 🙂 when life becomes routine, we tend to forget the simplest thing. Ipoh has so many hidden gems.
NKOTB : yeah, seconded.
Cumi & Ciki : yeah, dial for a chick, at RM16 no less, definitely a steal. haha …
kca : Wan Li Xiang is too salty, and not so fragrant. My mum bought once,but we could not finish them for the above reasons.

Surprisingly..this is the only place in Ipoh which I know the way well without getting lost. Hahaha..love the salted chicken here. Simply delicious. Sigh..now i crave for some…grrr..your fault! Hehe.
[Reply]
Yup..the best in Ipoh.
Never fail to promote to all my outstation friends. I predict the price will shoot up by next month.
In fact, everything goes up next month..the interest rates,credit card charges, service (incld medical) fees, utilities, car price (take my word is going up)…most importantly..FOODs.

precious pea : hehe, imagine tearing apart the pieces and chewing on the delicious tender flesh, just like our ancient counterpart did. 🙂
hulk : I was keeping my fingers crossed on the price of car to drop. hmmm ….
[Reply]
Sorry no relation…just advice. Many expects price of car dropped but due to escalating of steel price, its inevitable. Nissan has just increased all its car models by almost RM3k. Proton follow soon by end July 08. Some Japs principal has lessen thier subsidy thus result higher rates.
I’m kinda luv automobiles & in the financial sector.

If the name’s Aun Kheng Lim, then yes. One of the same. But there are outlets bearing the name “Kheng Lim” only. Seemingly, related but not the same branch.
