KAI Keok post - 无鸡不成宴

KAI (aka ayam) is currently the In-Thing. From the Ipoh ngar choy kai (beansprouts chicken), yim kuk kai (Salt baked chicken), kari kai bun (curry chicken bun) bla bla to Kereta-kereta's Chicken dang post with the wat luet luet, pak suet suet pak cham kai & redang rendang kari kai causing the widespread obsessions with KAI. Btw, KAI here is the edible kai and doesn't equivalent to the inedible COCKA. Hope he won't perasan :P Poor KAT kena the deadly "发鸡瘟" disease aka the spamming illness which is only curable with eating kai keok (鸡脚) aka chicken feet /phoenix claw (凤爪). Hope after she feasts her eyes with the kai keok pictures below, she can be cured completely..

Tungku Kai Keok/ Braised Chicken Feet Mushroom Noodle (冬菇鸡脚麵 )

鸡脚粿汁 (Mixed Koay Chap with chicken feet)

鸡脚/鳳爪点心

say YES to chicken feet/phoenix claw
say YES to kaki ayam

Now that you've mentioned it, yes I really like kai keok! Dimsum Fung Chau (definitely), tungku kai keok (for sure), kerabu kai keok (YES!), kai keok with spring onion and soy sauce like in carcar's pix (abuthen?!).

The best mun kai keok I've had is still Ipoh's Tuck Kee (a small nondescript shop a few doors away from the more femes Lou Wong) - small little keoks, smooth and tender, fragrant with ting hiong pat kok... mmmmmm.

Keok-note: Ipoh's yim kook kai is the best when you tear the flesh away caveman style, eh?

Sei lor, so much food to eat before we leave the country!

Chen said...

May,
I will remember that..
Tungku kai keok is Maymay’s all time favourite dish.
