I'm not an expert on Claypot Chicken Rice but for my taste, Kim Poh does a pretty good version. I've been eating here for maybe about 15 years now and I would say that their taste has remained the same, though prices keep increasing.

If you want some double boiled Chinese herbal soups, they have it too. This time, my family order 2 small claypot, 1 soup and 1 large vege and it all come up to RM 56. Decent price for a nearby home style with...
