This is so famous, I should not be writing about it at all..
But then again, this was the reason why we stopped by Ipoh, to buy this much sought after chicken..
Yes, by now you know I'm talking about the famed Aun Kheng Lim salt baked chicken.
Tourists and locals come to AKL to pack boxes and boxes of this delicacy; in fact, on some days, business is so good that you need to contact them 1 day in advance to place your orders, else, they wont serve you at all (as walk in customer). Rather ridiculous eh?
Anyways, we managed to buy this chicken without prior booking; the boxes of chickens were still nice and warm..
The salt baked chicken is basically cooked as described in it's name; the marinated chicken is wrapped with layers of paper and baked in sea salt. The chicken is extremely juicy, very tender and had the warm embrace of herbs and salt; which still lingers in your mouth after the first bite. Though it's very tasty, I'm not a big fan of salt, hence, I did find the chicken too salty for me after a while. My friends love it though..All of them are very ham (in Cantonese)..hehe. The salt baked chicken costs RM16 per box.
Restoran Aun Kheng Lim is located at 24, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh, Perak. Tel: 05-2542998.
