AUN KHENG LIM SALT BAKED CHICKEN
Salt Baked Chicken or known as "Yim Kok Kai" in cantonese. Aun Kheng Lim Salt Baked Chicken, Established since 1987.
Also food in Ipoh City, located just beside the road somewhere around Onn Kee Chicken Rice Area Zone but at the other
side of the street. If you have a GPS, shouldn't be hard to find. Beside the shop, there is a Big Tree. So, you won't miss it.
There are a few Salt Baked Chicken shops selling, just make sure you don't go to the wrong one. So far this is the most
popular shop. Just stop by the road, and a guy will take your order. Something like Drive-Thru
There is one near Onn Kee and Lou Wong Chicken rice, but not that one. This one if you are from Onn Kee Chicken Rice Shop,
You need to walk a little and is just across the street.
Anyway, no worries is easy to find.
Looks good? But we won't be deceive by the looks of it just because it taste as good as it looks. The meat is real
juicy as well, when you open up the wrapper, there are sufficient soup that mix with herbs and taste of the chicken
to dip the meat in and eat along.
More like sauce then soup, but all marinated along with the chicken with salt.
This is a must try if you visit ipoh. If early they have ready made type but if you are late, then only Salt Baked Chicken
in packets. At 1st I thought it wont taste as good as ready made type, but when we bought the packet back and heat it
up ourselves since it was frozen, it still taste as good as ready made ones. Hard to believe, but true. :top:
I
t is prepared by using paper to wrap the chicken with chinese herbs such as Dong Guai and Gei Zhi (wolfberry) and covered
with salts in a big oven. With this cooking technique, the meat will not lose its tenderness and the essence of chicken can be
preserved as well. The combination of salt and herbs gives the meat a unique flavour.”

Portfolio - Aun Kheng Lim Salted Chicken
If not wrong, I think now is RM17 per chicken. For whole chicken RM17, I think is reasonable since the taste is still that good.
Out of 10 times I go ipoh, usually I would tapau one back to KL for my family dinner. Sometimes have it in ipoh.
