Food Name :
Chicken Rice

Food Type :
Chinese Cuisine - Rice

About the Food :
It's all about meat! lol ... You can have a choice of Roasted Duck Rice, Roasted Chicken Rice, Roasted Pork Rice, Char Siu (Chinese Barbequed Pork Rice), Assam Fish, Tofu, Vegetables and a variety of stewed soups as your meal.

Char siu (Simplified Chinese: 叉烧; Traditional Chinese: 叉燒; pinyin: Chāshāo), also known as Chinese Barbecued pork, BBQ pork, cha siu, and char siew, is Cantonese-style barbecued pork. It is usually made with long strips of boneless pork, typically pork shoulder. The distinctive feature of char siu is its coating of seasonings which turn the meat dark red, or occasionally burnt, during cooking. The seasoning mixture for char siu usually includes sugar or honey, five-spice powder, red food colouring, soy sauce, and sherry or rice wine.

Price :
A plate of normal Chicken Rice is RM 2.80, same goes for a normal plate of Char Siew Rice. As for Chicken + Char Siew Rice, it would cost you a RM 3.30. Different pricing applies on different mixture of dishes, which also means you can order a plate of Char Siew + Chicken + Roasted Pork + Roasted Duck Rice. Yes, you can! Just don't expect it to cost you only RM 3.30. :P

Location :
It's located along the main road of Serdang which leads to KL or Balakong. It's between a Fatty Loh Chicken Rice Shop and Mei Sim Dim Sum Restaurant. Thus, parking spaces are rather limited. If you are lucky, you will find a parking space in front of the Public Bank. It's a very short distance away from the restaurant and it's a very good choice already. Though if you are luckier, you might be able to get a nice space just in front of the restaurant (which is often unavailable).

Address :
永香烧腊(補品)饭店
Wing Heong Chicken Rice Shop
260, Jalan College, 43300 Seri Kembangan.
016-272 2196
11 am To 4:30 pm(Rest on Tuesdays)

Specialty :
There's the Char Siu Sauce which is best served together with your rice as nice gravy. The sauce is defaultly available if your ordered Char Siu Rice, however, if you need more, you can always serve yourself from the stall front. It's sweet, however, the sweetness is just appropriate for my liking. There are also various stewed soups available. I always ordered the Herbal Chicken Soup there, though it's a little too ajinomoto-flavoured. But nevertheless, the herbal taste is slightly strong, which is good. :P

For the Assam Kampung Fish, I personally think that the fish tasted just average. However, the generous serving of the assam sauce might just be a good gravy for your rice. It's a little sour and not spicy. It's quite appetizing as well.

Environment :
The environment is ok, just like the normal coffee shops. But it might get a little stuffy on a big hot day. Anyway, and again, for the delicious food to be offered, who cares? Do you? :P

Personal Comments :
It's cheap and delicious, a rather good choice for lunch, especially on weekends when you do not wish to visit any shopping complexes and when you are on a tight budget. :P

My Personal Rating (of its kind):
7 / 10

This shop actually wants you to order and pay at the counter. It's been a long time since I last went there, so I was pretty shocked with its advancement in the usage of technology!!! However, I believe this must be a way to cater for the efficiency of service when there's a huge crowd (This shop is always full of people during lunch time).

Side dishes such as fried Taiwan sausage, lobak, fried tofu, etc.
There are a variety of ingredients which are used to make lobak. Typically, finely minced and spiced meat is a must. The spiced minced meat is mixed together with some chopped spring onions, some carrot bits, and anything that is up to personal flavour. Then the mixture is put on a small piece of beancurd sheet and is rolled up. Then the meat roll is fried and cut into small pieces and are ready to be served.

Yummy Yummy @ Ban Chuan Chicken Rice Shop

During the long DeepaRaya break, I had the chance to enjoy more meals together with my family and friends. The first lunch in Penang for the break - we went to this Chicken Rice Shop - The Ban Chuan Chicken Rice Shop. Since the popularize of "Assam Soup" served together with the chicken rice by a famous chicken rice shop (Beng Huat Chicken Rice Shop), many of the chicken rice shops or stalls also offered the choice of tasting the soup, and this Ban Chuan shop is not excluded as well.

This shop also offered a wide variety of side dishes which are not common in area such as Kuala Lumpur. Here, you can have vegetables in oil, fish in asam (tamarind) soup, lady fingers, assorted deep-fried food and tofu (bean curd).

The Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is the only species of the genus Tamarindus in the family Fabaceae. It is a tropical tree. In Malaysia it is called asam in Malay and swee boey in Hokkien. The fruit pulp is edible and popular. It is used as a spice in both Asian and Latin American cuisines, and is also an important ingredient in Worcestershire sauce and HP sauce. The pulp of a young fruit is very sour and acidic and is most often used as a component of savory dishes. The ripened fruit is sweeter and can be used in desserts and drinks, or as a snack.

Tofu, also called doufu (often in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks.

Ladyfingers with Sambal
Sambal is a condiment used in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka, made from a variety of peppers, although chilli peppers are the most common. Sambal is used as a condiment or as a side dish, and is sometimes substituted for fresh chilis; it can be very hot for the uninitiated. It is available at exotic food markets or gourmet departments in supermarkets in numerous countries.

In typical chicken shops or stalls, they offer chilli sauce with different taste, due to the different ingredients they included. So, if you haven't been off spicy, please make sure you have a taste on the specially made chilli sauce.

For your information, Ban Chuan Chicken Rice Shop is located along Chai Leng Park's Wai Sik Kai at Perai area.
