What is your criteria of a “nice” Chicken Rice? The fragrant yet fluffy rice or the tender poached chicken.
Bringing you guys to this Chicken Rice shop which previously named as “Diamond Chicken Rice” has now taken over by a new owner with a new name calling “Golden Chicken Rice”. This legendary TeoChew chicken rice has been on business for few decades. It is famous among the Serembanians for its taste and also the price which some claimed on high side. Hence its not any stranger to the Serembanians. (But I am unsure why is it called TeoChew Chicken Rice because I see the cooking method is alike Hainan Chicken Rice)
I rarely eat this chicken rice from the previous owner, as I felt not only the price is steep, but the rice is on salty and oily side…not forgetting the owner’s Lansi attitude too.

This is the area of the shop’s location. You will find that Sundays got more parking here because most of the shops around this area are closed on Sundays.

Zhai Hong Restaurant 潮州滑雞飯(金雞飯)is the new and current name and it is strategically located in the middle of Seremban town.

This new owner has taken over the business for about 2 to 3 years, and has recently done some refurbishment but still maintain the traditional kopitiam ambiance.
Very busy restaurant especially during weekdays. People start ordering as soon as their business starts at 11am. By noon or lunch hour it is often crowded be it take away or dining in.

For dapao (takeaway) , you can choose to queue or opt for advanced order and pickup later with just a phone call. I have tried dining in here and also ‘dapao’.


But definitely prefer to dine in because of this free flow chili sauce. The chili sauce is so thick unlike some shops that serves diluted and watery chili sauce.

Prices are shown on board which display on the wall of the dining area.

This is the serving single meal (chicken thigh) RM12.

The chicken portion for 3 person – RM48
Chicken is poached in boiling water then dipped in cold water to get a tender and juicy meat.

Blanched bean sprout with soy sauce, sesame oil then garnished with fried garlic and coriander leaves. I like that they are generous in giving coriander…which is my favorite. hehe…..but some people hates this leaf.

Recently, this new dish was added into their menu. Braised Chicken Feet with Beancurd. – RM8 per serving. If you are a fan of chicken feet, you may like this dish too. Chicken feet were nicely braised, it is so tender and smooth.

Soy sauce is commonly used in Chinese cuisine/dishes. The one that they are selling here is the thicker version which is not what you usually get from the supermarket or convenience store.
Do give it a try if you are around the vicinity and share your feedback too. 🙂
