I visit MyDentist for my invisalign treatment almost every two weeks at Jalan Ipoh, and since they’re pretty flexible on scheduling, I always try to set it up on Fridays at around lunch time to allow me a chance to explore the surrounding eateries.
Not long ago, thanks to my friend Winnie, who works nearby, we discovered a rather awesoem claypot chicken rice place at Kim Poh kopitiam in Segambut.
Kim Poh claypot chicken rice at Segambut
Kedai Makanan Kim Poh is located a little bit away from the main stretch of shops at Segambut, within the housing estate just across the Yu Ai seafood noodle place.
The shop is manned by an old couple (I’m assuming) and the lady has been serving up claypot chicken rice for some 30 years.
clay pot chicken rice always go well with double boiled soup
While most claypot chicken rice has everything cooked in the pot with the exception of salted fish (added at the end), at Kim Poh, they add rice wine, dark sauce, fresh ginger, and the salted fish just right before serving. Giving it a fresher and slightly spicier (from ginger) taste that we really enjoy.
mix it up with fresh ginger and salted fish, delicious
Like many other places, Kim Poh also serves pretty delicious steamed soup. There’s usually quite a few varieties to choose from, including salted vegetable with tofu soup, lotus root soup, ginseng with chicken soup, watercress soup and so forth.
These soup go very well with the rice, and I usually choose them over drinks instead.
Winnie & KY at Kim Poh, Segambut
With soup, expect to pay about RM 12-14 per person, pretty reasonable for what you get. Waiting time is usually around 10-20 minutes or as they cook everything from scratch.
Try it!

looks good! let’s go during a weekend 😀
suanie: mari la mari.
I like my claypot rice with a lot of rice wine and A LOT of spring onions 😀
Ken: and without lapcheong right? lol.
I love claypot rice…chicken or pork (belly) with lap cheong and lots of salted fish. Simply the best! Yum! Yummmmm!!!!!
suituapui: yah, with pork belly this would be even better!
can’t go wrong with 30 years of experience, ya! the lady owner looks pretty happy to be cooking, which is a good sign! 😀
Sean: yeah, she’s always “happy” and be yelling everyone around. lol.
I haven’t been to Segambut or Jalan Ipoh in ages; and even the roads have changed the last time I passed by the area. Three decades definitely mean something, and everything still looks very traditional; which is a good sign for the quality of their food, eh? 😉
Christy: definintely! so please to find this place.
My mom make claypot rice dishes from time to time. Chicken with lup chong and sometime black mushrooms in it. With soy sauce and sesame oil in it before it was cooked and afterward yummy. Chicken sometime with mince ginger mix in it too.
Vickie: my mom used to do the same when we were young, with the black mushroom too!
I have such fond memories of claypot chicken rice. It was one of my first loves in Singapore when I moved there nearly 18 years ago!
The Yum List: I actually didn’t try this until maybe some ten years ago, it isn’t a popular dish in Penang. 😀
Been searching good claypot chicken rice around Kepong/Segambut area, will try this out see how’s the food. Thanks!
Choi Yen: hope you like it.
