Penang Food: Claypot Chicken Rice and Curry Fish Head - Lekker Claypot House

Lekker Claypot Chicken Rice. I’m more than happy to write things about this because it’s closer to home, something I’ve enjoyed so much over the years. I can’t remember when they started business but I think I have been there since 8-9 years ago. Don’t be fooled, this shop is not just famous for its claypot chicken rice but also fish head curry. Of course, they do have other dish offerings like soup and vegetables.

Where is it? If you can still remember, it is behind the old Berkat Supermarket at Chai Leng Park (there used to be a big round about there). But of course, the old Berkat Supermarket is no longer there and PLB Engineering is occupying the building instead.

If you’re coming from Penang Bridge, you will take the exit leading to Megamall Pinang and need to back your way back to Chai Leng Park. At the junction where you see Fajar Supermarket, make a left turn and immediately another left turn again at the 2nd junction. Go straight all the way till you reach a curved road and Lekker Claypot is just at the corner.

Refer Map below for more details. (click to get larger map)


Now that we have arrived, it’s time to savour the yummy food. I have personally been there numerous times and I still look forward to going back again.

Claypot Chicken Rice


The claypot chicken rice is typically chicken cooked in soya sauce upfront and then mix with the rice whenever customers order them. It is then heated on the claypot until the rice is cooked and the cook will put some ingredients like Chinese sausage (lap Cheong), salted fish and eggs on top of rice (each person will get one egg). When the claypot rice is served to you, you can smell the aroma of freshly cooked rice yet also smell overcooked (chau hue tah). Some people actually enjoy eating the crust which tasted like burnt rice.

Claypot Curry Fish


Another item not to miss is the fish head curry and of course, if you don’t like fish head you can order fish meat itself. The main attraction is the curry gravy, once you’ve tasted it, it will leave you feeling heavenly J (ok, I may be exaggerating but trust me it’s nice).

The curry gravy is thick and full of ingredients. Inside, you can find fish (obviously), lady’s fingers, big onions, brinjals etc. The portion is also quite generous, for those of you who like to take rice, I’m sure you will help yourself with 2nd or perhaps 3rd, 4th servings of rice.

Even if you’ve finished the claypot rice, you can still order regular white rice just to taste the curry gravy. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll definitely love it. The one thing I like about these claypot and fish head curry are the taste are bit stronger (kao lioa) and not chia chia (read: tasteless).

Also, apart from these two main dishes, you can also order side dishes like vegetables, bean sprouts or even soup (though I can’t remember if they still serve the soup). The shop is open from lunch till dinner and if you happen to have dinner there, there is also another stall in the shop which sell Bak Kut Teh. So want to have some claypot chicken rice with me there?

Penang Event: Dog Agility Competition 2008

Dear readers,

The Persatuan Agiliti Anjing (PAA) is organizing the Dog Agility Competition 2008 on this coming weekend at Silver Jubilee Home, Sungai Dua, Penang. This is the first event held by the association in 2008.

Date/Time:

5th January, 2008- 2pm to 8pm

6th January, 2008- 9am to 2pm

Venue: Sliver Jubilee Hall- Badminton court, Sungai Dua. Here is the map

There are 21 dogs for agility and 19 dogs for obedience. 50% of the dogs are from KL and Ipoh.This is the biggest entry so far for PAA.

For those wishing to join a Dog Fancy Dress show, they can bring their dogs to sign up at 12 noon on 6th January. Entry fee is RM10 per dog. Judging of the Fancy dress show is at 1.30pm

Frankly, I don't know much about the Dog Agility Sport until this post. If you are not familiar with this sport or you have not even heard about the sports and would like to know more, here are some explanation to help to understand more about the sports which quoted from the PAA web.

On the above figure is an agility course consisting of an A-frame followed by a tunnel, a tyre jump, a see-saw, a dog walk, a winged jump and weaving poles. The handler and his dog work as a team. The dog is required to climb up the A-frame, run through the tunnel, jump through the tyre jump, walk on the see-saw, walk on the dog-walk, jump over the winged jump and weave in and out of the weaving poles. What will the handler do in the meantime? The handler has to command the dog using his voice and body language to negotiate the obstacles in the correct manner.

The game is such- the team who clears the obstacles with NO faults and the fastest to reach the finishing line wins.

In this example, the course is a simple one. The agility course increase in complexity from Basic Jumpers->Elementary->Novice->Open levels. Total number of obstacles are from a minimum of 16 to a maximum of 20 obstacles. Below is an example of a Novice Course. ... quoted from PAA web

This is the first time, we help to promote the dog agility competition in 2008 and the first time for this web. Personally I had seen a lot of the competition on TV and never seen this in person. This is a good opportunity for us to know more about this sport in person.
