It has been awhile since I updated this blog, because I went back hometown for my cousin’s wedding dinner and came back with some decent photos. Will take some time to edit, so in the meantime let’s talk about salted chickens!

If you are visiting Ipoh town, don’t miss this delicious salted chicken from Restoran Aun Kheng Lim! Despite the self proclaimed restaurant status, this place does not cater for dine in, so you can only takeaway a box of salted chicken and be on your way.

Basically these huge vats fills the whole place, leaving some walking space and places to put the boxes.

What’s in the vat? Chickens stuffed with some herbs and wrapped with baking paper, salt and more salt of course!

You tell him, and he will pick a chick for you!

With so many delicious food to choose from in Ipoh, most of the time I will be stuffed full come departure. Fortunately, I can still bring back the takeaway salted chicken from Aung Kheng Lim to devour before leaving this food haven. I usually buy them back for own consumption or as gifts. After all, they come in nice boxes and taste great!

P/S: I even keep the carcass to use them as stock for making congee like what I did with the roast chicken leftovers the next day!
