Nam Heong Chicken Rice (Jalan Sultan KL) celebrates 86 years of history at Jalan Sultan, earning Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2023 & 2024. Founded in 1938 by 3 immigrants from Hainan China. Esquire Kitchen bought Nam Heong in Sept 2002.
This is not a fav chicken rice place of mine. I’ve tasted plenty better. Its history is fascinating though. I can bet that before Esquire took over, the food should have tasted better. A lot better!
Esquire has deteriorated on its own, in my opinion.
The shop at Jalan Sultan is not very welcoming and hygenic looking. Floor is wet or oily everywhere. Staff is not that friendly; in fact, they looked more exhausted than anything else! I believe it is the Michelin name that attracts customers or tourists to it; also it being in a touristy area.
