Dining at Ong Ong Chicken Rice

Post by Chiefeater VK

Lunch at Ong Ong Chicken Rice in Taman OUG provided a largely pleasant experience. Located on Jalan Awan Hijau, this establishment specializes in traditional steamed chicken and various signature side dishes.

The meal featured half a kampung chicken, which delivered a good flavor and satisfied expectations. The texture had bite without being too hard which plagues the preparation of some of the kampung chicken I have had before.

The Signature Ipoh Taugeh (was another highlight, noted for its crunchy and lovely texture.

Braised Egg was good.

However, the most impressive item was the Chicken Liver & Gizzard, which emerged as the best part of the lunch.

On the other hand, the Roasted Pork was a disappointment; the rind lacked the necessary crunch, making it an item to skip on future visits.

Their signature iced kopi packs a wallop. Too strong for my liking.
