I went to Kedai Kopi Pudu Satu Enam Lapan in the evening, specifically for the famous claypot chicken rice—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The stall is set up along the roadside, and the aroma of rice cooking over charcoal greets you before you even sit down.

The wait can be a little long during peak hours, but trust me, it’s worth every minute. The rice came with a deliciously crispy bottom layer, tender chicken, bits of salted fish, and a rich soy-based sauce that gets mixed in at your table. The smoky aroma from the charcoal made the whole experience feel rustic and authentic.

Sitting on the roadside, with locals chatting over hot claypots and kopi, made it one of those classic KL food moments that’s hard to beat.
