FOONG LIAN - 丰年瓦煲美食馆

This time we decided to try Foong Lian Claypot Chicken Rice (丰年瓦煲美食馆) in KL, located right beside the famous stall that everyone talks about. Naturally, we were curious to see how it compares. Unfortunately, I have to say that the one next door still packs more punch — the aroma, the char, and that smoky rice fragrance really stand out more. That said, Foong Lian’s version was still a good pot of claypot rice — the ingredients were fresh, the rice nicely cooked, and the sauce well-balanced, just not as memorable. There weren’t many people when we visited, which made dining comfortable, and interestingly, this shop also holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you’re around the area, but if you’re after that truly fragrant, smoky claypot flavor, the neighbour next door still takes the crown.

Clean and seems newly renovated. Very polite service. Claypot rice is not bad but the chicken lack seasoning. The waxed meat is nice, and imparts a nice flavour to the rice. Pepper stomach soup average, not ‘Gao’ enough for my taste.

Food is excellent, and my friends and I really enjoyed our dinner. Rice is flavorful and chicken parts are succulent. Vegetables are well cooked. Certainly one of the best claypot chicken rice places I’ve tried. Wished I had tried their soups as I saw many tables had soups orders, but there’s always a next time. I just hope it doesn’t get too crowded before I visit again.

Had wanted to go the nearby competitor store but got discouraged by the long queue and live chickens beside and opted to try this one. Such a blessing in disguise. Food came fast amd was really delicious. 3 food items and 2 drinks set us back RM48 but filled us up well. Came here during lunch hour and it's not crowded or warm. Place is clean and spacious. Was suprised to see a 2025 Michelin on the wall as well. Highly recommend.

It’s been a while since I last ate here, and it’s still as good as I remember. Definitely better than the overhyped Heun Kee next door. Auntie is also very friendly. Honestly, I hope the whole Michelin buzz doesn’t ruin our good old neighborhood spots… The place doesn’t have air-conditioning, but it stays surprisingly cool, not the stuffy, heat-trap kind of place.

It's good. I love their rice and chicken. I ordered the Claypot Chicken Rice with drumsticks options. Overall place is nice and comfortable. There was no queue during Lunch time on a weekday. Service is good.

First time trying here, meal was good and worth the try. Just that the waitress had problems in understanding and explaining the menu.

Came at 1pm and easily got a seat. Good looking place. The hot pot was good quality and tasteful but had hoped for more flavor. But still pretty good. Loved the jelly fish. Overall, I was satisfied but would probably try other restaurants first before coming back.
