COCONUTS HOT SPOT — Lim Fried Chicken started off as a stall at the back of a kopitiam in SS14 Subang Jaya many years ago. The place was extremely popular with long queues of hungry diners every day.
The delicious aroma of fried chicken coming from the huge wok where Mr Lim stood tirelessly tending to, was quite simply unbearable. Meanwhile, Mrs Lim would be piling food in lightning speed for the hungry crowd.
Business has been good and recently in June, the Lims decided to expand it to a brand new premise in Glenmarie. It’s a much bigger shop and it’s all dedicated to Lim Fried Chicken.
I’m so happy for them that their business has flourished although it means I have to go further to indulge in their fried chicken. Well, the food is worth the extra travelling.
The fried chicken is just as good as ever: coated in a thin batter, the golden crispy skin is divine and with tasty tender juicy meat underneath. Mr Lim has been doing this for more than 30 years and the quality has been consistent.
The Lim Fried Chicken outlet is Glenmarie is a simple set-up: the food counter is right at the front where Mrs Lim attend to the customers and tables are all arranged to fill up the shop. The chicken is fried in the kitchen at the back and brought out continuously to the counter.
Besides fried chicken, there are the usual Lim signature dishes like sambal sotong, mutton curry, assam fish, stir-fried long beans, cabbage and some fried items like fuchook, sausages and fishcake. Have these with rice or chee cheong fun. My favourite is always the chee cheong fun doused with lots of thick spicy curry!
The fried chicken cuts are huge – a whole thigh goes for RM6.50.
It’s an early start here: fried chicken is available as early as 8am. Back in the old place in Subang Jaya, they only set up stall at 2pm and could only start serving this from 2.30pm onwards. Here in Glenmarie, service is until 5pm or until food runs out, whichever comes first.
