While on the way visiting my friend at Puchong, Kerol suggested that we go to this place that has excellent clay pot dishes at Seri Kembangan. The direction she gave us was “nearby South City Plaza”. Luckily we managed to find Kien Kee without much trouble.
hawker center setting, but with only 1 stall
The so called restaurant is situated at an almost hawker center like area, with the kitchen occupying one lot, and tables spread around in the middle of the square and also some unused ‘office’ rooms (with air conditioning). We quickly found a table in one of those air conditioned places and ordered 4 dishes, the spicy soup (辣汤), clay pot chicken (花雕鸡), chicken with rice wine soup (黄酒鸡), and vegetable. The first three were the must-order stuff as recommended by Kerol.
the four dishes we ordered
We had to wait for quite a long time before the food came, I guess it usually takes a bit longer to work with clay pots instead of the normal cooking methods. Then again, you get the benefit of having the food staying hot for much longer time.
The dishes were actually very good. I particularly like the clay pot chicken, very strongly flavored and goes very well with rice. The spicy soup tasted similar to pork tripe soup I had at USJ, but just a tad less spicy, ingredients include pork tripe, intestine, meat, chicken, and some unidentified innards. It was the first time I had this hakka delicacy, I had naively thought it was something similar with hot and sour soup instead. A rather nice dish I must say.
I’m not exactly a fan of chicken rice wine soup (黄酒鸡), the taste is pretty strong and with appropriate amount ingest, will probably make you blush and a bit tipsy. Kerol said it is among the best she had though.
don’t soil your shirt like this aunty.
The bill came to almost RM 80, with a lot of drinks we ordered. It isn’t exactly cheap, nor expensive. Other than the long wait, it is a pretty nice place to dine, and I have a feeling I shall go there again.

Big Boys Oven,
I don’t stay at Serdang, and not too familiar with the roads there myself, but this place isn’t really difficult to find though.

hey I was there too, sometime last month… but havent got time to blog about it yet… their food is quite good, they serve the food fast, and is reasonably priced. Did you notice though, they put lots of MSG in their cooking ?

I can say still the best at the moments compare others which I had tried at Paramount Garden ( PJ ) and Semenyih.Btw,did you notice that the dish portion is a bit small,normally I need to order a extra 1 head for his “Fah Tiew Kai”.

kl_guy,
Yeah, I agree that the dishes were a bit small.

This is a black shop. 7 of us ordered 4 dishes 5 persons serving, vege, tofu, spicy soup, and chicken with rice wine soup and that cost us RM123+
After all, the food sucks. There are hawker stalls cook better than this!

somebody,
Wah, looks like either you had a bad experience or they’ve really gone berserk with their pricing!

Suggest you try the shop in Jalan Semenyih which is located on the right side if you are coming from Kajang direction and just before the left turning to Nirvana Graveyard. To me it is the best and also cheaper. It seems this shop in Semenyih has been serving these dishes long before those shops were opened in Sri Kembangan.
