BB Hailam Chicken Rice

I hate running around town in heavy rains and umbrellas. And trying to dig my purse for parking fee and answering the phone while balancing the umbrella and shopping bags - is no fun at all. But the whole trip itself was worthwhile and so much fun.

Comes to the story of why my blog was abandoned for the past week or so. I wish I had more time in a day to write and share more foodilicious with others here. With travelling up and down Penang & KL, helping my guy and my sister with their new home, is all very tiring. But fun because I get to spend precious time with all of them.
Besides, I get to catch up on shopping and dining! In the very short trip of mine, I decided to target my favourite places first. While rushing for time before heading back to Penang, my guy and I decided to head for our quick meal at Bukit Bintang.
Situated within the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triange is Bukit Bintang. Now this place where I had my lunch - The BB Hailam Chicken Rice, is just at the corner of the BB Plaza. It is opposite a Kebab stall. Very easy to get to. Parking may be a problem, but hey, Lot 10's carpark is usually not bad... even if it means paying like RM7 for less than an hour's time! Ouch!

Hailam or Hainan? Not sure why the name is "Hailam", but it is certainly Hainanese-style chicken rice. Very tender and tasty. This place is rather famous with the local crowds of different faces.We had the Chicken Rice Set, one steamed and one roasted. My man is always steamed - oh, I meant my man likes it steamed. And I like it roasted. The set comes with a bowl of flavourful chicken rice, a bowl of soup with peanuts, garlic chilli sauce, and a side dish of tender chicken over some cucumber and tomatoes. Simple and delicious.

The prices are reasonable:
2 Chicken Rice Set RM13.60
1 Ice Lemon Tea RM3.00
1 Soft Drink RM2.80
5% Service Chg RM1.00
5% Govt Tax RM1.00
Total RM21.40

Was a good quick lunch!

Chicken rice are either served with steamed, roasted or fried chicken. Either one, the best ones are those that is cooked right - chicken meat is soft and tender. While the skin is crispy (except for steamed, of course).

If you're cooking this, I have a little secret: marinade it way ahead before you fry or roast the chicken. Soy sauce and a little bit of honey makes it super delicious! :-)
