Restoran Capital Chicken Rice
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The read// why locals go
Since 1966, Restoran Capital has been poaching Hainanese chicken rice on Jalan Raja Laut in Chow Kit — a dish that hides nothing. Three components, no rescue: the chicken poached to the point where the meat is just set, rice cooked in the fat and stock, and the trio of sauces beside it. Cooks in Kuala Lumpur tend to name this one when asked where they eat it themselves. Nearly sixty years on the same street has made it a fixture of Chow Kit, one of the city's older and busier working districts. A plate is around RM12, with vegetarian options too — canteen pricing, which is part of why the queue is local.
