Restoran Lee Hong Ke Dong Tok Hanging Roast Chicken - Sungai Buloh

We heard so much about this restaurant from friends and newspapers who went there after the recent publicity blitz on Sungai Buloh after the opening of the MRT. For those who love roast chicken, this is certainly a very interesting place to go to given the way the roast chicken is hung and served to the diners. The Cantonese call it "Dong Tok" or "upright". The chicken is sure to be hanging upright with the contraption and all. Be ready to put on disposal plastic gloves and wield the sharp pair scissors given and snip away. If I am eating alone I will dispense away this courtesy.

The chicken came out hot. It must have been briefly dipped into hot oil before being put in its place. crisp when the heat stretched the coat tight. The meat was chewy and firm. The texture felt like good meat. It did not broke down into bits like some of the chicken we have nowadays. With this half the battle on taste was won. Indeed the meat was tasty and for those who like some salt do dip the chicken into the plate of salt and pepper. Guarantee to set the palate tingling with an overwhelming explosion of umami.

We also order a side plate of Char Siew (BBQ Pork) but it did not climbed itself out of the medocrity. Boleh makan (good enough), For demanding folks it may not be up to your mark.

I look forward of going there and sampling their many dishes especially some seafood. I dare say after looking at the crowd that began to build up after 1230pm, this is a popular place among the locals here.

This looks very delicious and it must be. It makes my mouth water. In the US, it is not possible to be served a chicken with the head on and not possible to buy in a store either. Very creative to prepare a chicken in the same way as a Peking duck. Next time I come to KL, will make a point to visit this restaurant.
