The second part of the Damansara Jaya series unfolds another hidden gem of a hot and delicious comfort meal for all: Claypot Chicken Rice. Although many will straight away prefer to go for the Kampar version sold nearer to Atria Shopping Centre, located in Restaurant Koon Kee, however we decided to give coverage on another restaurant not too far away tucked a stone’s throw away from KDU College.

Busy Corner Restaurant is really what its name described as: busy and packed to the bream when we arrived. Its specialty and main draw is the ever famous claypot chicken rice served fresh off the charcoal stove. The craving gets even more intense as rain pours down intermittently and a cooling weather draws in thereafter. This restaurant has its own merits as compared to the other competitor nearby. The claypot chicken rice, of course is good as it looks as above. Wait a little bit longer and stir it and you will get “charred” harden rice along the walls of the claypot that is crispy and nice. However, we still do not endorse eating the charred bits as it is rumoured to be carcinogenic (no sources however). The salted fish bits is a must to give the plain rice some flavour.

Like the other restaurants that serve claypot rice, one must not miss its selection of boiled soups, this time we just had a bowl of water cress soup (Sai Yong Choy), which is nothing fancy, but good for students away from outstations to taste home-boiled chinese soups.

The main attraction why this restaurants stood out from the other countless competitors, its variety of claypot rices seems to amaze people. They had this Claypot prawn rice, which is a great choice as it has big and succulent prawns topped up with chopped onions and sambal. A must-try if you come over to Busy Corner Restaurant. There are other selections of claypot rice and of course some vegetables as well to wash down the oily stuff. Do drop by, it is located near KDU College, just make a right turn when you see Petronas if you are turning in from the LDP highway or turn left if you are from Atria side heading to KDU. Prices are standard but a wee bit expensive for the Claypot Prawn Rice.
