Claypot Chicken Rice in DJ (1)

As far as I know, there are 2 Claypot Chicken Rice shops in DJ which are pretty reputable. Of course, loving Claypot Chicken Rice as much as I do, I went to both of them.

The first of these two places is Busy Corner. It's pretty popular during lunch and dinner time. It's located along the same row of shops as Blitz and ProXTreme, at the shoplots right behind KDU, by the PETRONAS.



As you can see, the price is fairly inexpensive. RM12 for a Large bowl (fit for 2 people) is decent. Of course, I didn't try the Black Pepper Steak and the Prawns one, so I can't tell if the meal is worth the extra cost.



It really irks me when there's still some semblance of vegetables after I distinctly told them, "NO VEGETABLES." I find it a bit difficult to believe that they don't consider onions and chung as vegetables. Nevertheless, it still looked fairly enticing. But, of course, the hottest girl in the room has a wart on her butt, or so I've heard before.



They're not very generous with the chicken. The chicken-to-rice ratio is pretty low. Between my buddy, Heng Lean, and myself, there were maybe just 3 (rather small) pieces of chicken to be eaten with the rice. The rice in itself is just okay. The gravy isn't great.



Another view that seriously demonstrates the low chicken-to-rice ratio. On a positive note though, the service is pretty quick. We got our bowl within something like 5 minutes of ordering. But, be warned. We wanted to order 2 small or something like that only for the person to tell us that they didn't prepare smalls, just larges. I probably made up the words 'smalls' and 'larges' but whatever.

Don't get me wrong, it's an overall decent (read: average) place to get a quick meal. It's like a slightly-better-than-an-average-McDonald's-meal meal. Emphasis on slightly. For the sake of clarification, when I mean an average McDonald's meal, I mean something like the McChicken set or the Chicken McNuggets set. Something generic like that.

For a quick meal (i.e. While waiting for friends to play computer games), it's a fair pick. But, it's not somewhere you want to be going regularly or if you're looking for a tasty meal. As such, it gets a 6/10.
