Oct2022. The name says Salted Chicken but it is surprisingly not very salty. Just nice for taste. Whole chicken, still warm, already wrapped and packed in plastic bag carrier. Although many customers but it is very fast. Just give them the money and they hand...over the plastic bag of chicken. I am glad I gave this a try since I am visiting Ipoh on holiday.

The chicken was salt baked. It is still warm when we bought. Tender and juicy with slight touch of herbs.

I have a request to buy salted chicken and we go this shop to get it when we are on our way home. It is disappointed on the service that they serve you as we are the only customer that time. Not friendly and it...is not cheap for a small piece of chicken.More

I live in Ipoh and I have tried every salt baked chicken shop around Ipoh town and also a few located outside of the town centre, and I can confidently say that Aun Keng Lim still sells the best salt baked chicken in the Kinta...Valley. They have successfully maintained the quality of their product over the few decades that they have been in business, which isn't easy! No doubt the price has risen with inflation, each bird costs RM23 as of May 2021, but so has the prices of their competitors. And this place offers frozen vacuum-packed salt baked chickens for easy handling for everyone who intends to buy the birds for bringing interstate. The re-heating process is really simple; just pop the bird in a microwave for several minutes on high, or steam the bird for several minutes and VOILA! The vacuum-packed chickens are already fully cooked with the same process as the hot & ready-to-eat chickens. My friends from interstate frequently ask me to buy them chickens from this shop whenever I travel for work. Really convenient and stress-free!More

Too salty as opposed to herbal chicken. I would prefer Kentucky chicken over this. Or Lou Wong steamed chicken Not recommended for those with high blood pressure or diabetics.

We had tried others but still come back to Aun Kheng Lim as none was able to beat this old time favorite. The ones we had bought to take home had less herbs (tong kooi) and the way the chickens were baked were less tender...and juicy. We picked up 3 chickens from our favorite shop and after the long three and a half hours drive home they were still delicious. The meat was tender, well seasoned with aromas of the herbs and salt and juicy! We chilled a couple in an air tight container in the fridge and the chickens tasted as they were fresh from the shop. The trick was to steam it with wrappers on for a mere 5 minutes, and served immediately. So if you want to have your Salt Baked Chicken I recommend you to look no further other than Aun Kheng Lim for your salted chicken fix.More

The store sells ready made whole salted chicken to take away, one for 21 ringgits. The chicken is atill a little warm, not too big, very flavorful, and super very juicy. The two of us finished the whole chicken in 10 minutes.

Bought to try , randomly chose this stall as I was passing by. It was so so, a bit tad salty , but otherwise ok. If u have a big family, need to get more than 1 as it’s a really small chicken.

Chicken size is small as they use spring chicken. Reasonable price. One of the main ingredients used is the Angelica Roots aka Dong Gui, stuffed inside the chicken. During steaming (best to eat it hot), you can smell the aromatic herbs and I love the...taste of it. Chicken meat is tender with just the right balance of saltiness (best to eat with rice) and herbal flavours. Always bought frozen to bring back home.More

Wow the famous Ipoh salted chicken! This is not a shop, it's a factory already to despatch to any stop by car. Of course you are not leaving Ipoh without buying at least a couple of chicken for gifts.

The meat is tender and nice. I tried the "dang gui" favor, it suits my taste, can also try the original salted chicken if not sold out.

Chanced upon the shop and bought one as our friend told us we must try salt bake chicken when in Ipoh. There was no Q on a Thur afternoon. We brought it all the way to Cameron highlands; 2 of us had it for supper...in hotel room. Even though it's cold, meat is still tender and I love the herbal taste of angelica roots stuffed in the chicken. We finished the whole thing in 20min. Think it would taste even better when hot.More

May not be as it’s CNY and the shop is a traditional Chinese one. It’s best to call before you make a trip there.
