The story
For decades, the name Nam Heong has been synonymous with Hainanese chicken rice in Kuala Lumpur. At its City Centre outlet on Jalan Sultan, the kitchen turns out a version that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 – a recognition for good quality, good value cooking. The formula is deceptively simple: poached chicken, glossy-skinned and tender, served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken stock and a trio of accompaniments – a fiery ginger-scallil sauce, dark soy, and a clear, peppery broth. It is Malaysian comfort food at its most direct, and the steady queue of locals and visitors alike testifies to its enduring appeal. There are no frills here – just a plate of chicken rice that speaks for itself.
