While Ah Yoke's appears to be a hawker centre peddling rice, noodles and more, the shop is in fact run by just one vendor who does it all. Their Hainanese chicken rice is USJ's best kept secret, so grab a foodie friend and meet here for lunch. Air-conditioned and well-kept, the environment encourages patrons to linger — perhaps long enough to meet the friendly uncle who makes your meals. The Hainanese Chicken Rice (from RM7) uses only free-range chicken, poached to a tasty, tender result, and it comes with a sterling side of oiled rice. To truly experience the dish, help yourself to the chilli and ginger sauces — both play significant roles in bringing out the best flavours of chicken rice. There is also an Oyster Peanut Porridge (RM6), a sizeable, heartwarming dish that's best shared between two. The plain porridge benefits from the pronounced flavours of dried oysters and peanuts, which they are generous with. Pricing runs on the higher side, but you are paying for quality.
Avg price per person: RM15

Solid version of Hainanese chicken rice. Smooth, tender and just enough flesh to keep one full. The rice is delicious, and I highly recommend spiking it with that red chili. For a chicken rice shop, the Oyster Peanut Porridge (RM6) is pretty good too!
