The stall that sells the claypot rice is actually a "Zi Cha" stall. After ABC-Market ( in Alexandra/Redhill area ) shuts down for a major revamp, both GF and myself have suffering from a major claypot-rice withdrawal symptom.
By chance GF read about this interesting claypot rice stall online and suggested we checked it out. She's a even more hardcore foodie than the blog-whorring me. She's always the one checking out online where to eat what new things to try. I just simply tag along so at least there's someone footing the bill...
Anyway according to the lady who took our order, there are 2 kinds of chicken available ( only on weekends ) - the usual "Pasar" chicken ( SGD$12 ) and the Kampung chicken (SGD$14 ). Since it was recommended, we opt for the kampung chicken version.
Waiting time was quite brief. Served in a claypot, the top was filled with chunks and chunks of bite size chicken. The claypot rice was delicious but both GF and myself know something was missing. Something so essential to claypot rice.
The thing is "lup chiong", and not just the usual 'red' ones but more importantly the darker "lup chiong" made of pork liver. Back at ABC Market, the claypot rice was cooked with loads of "lup chiong" of both types and they added that extra fragrance to the claypot rice.
This was missing here. Dun get me wrong, the claypot rice here in AMK is delicious but given a choice, i'll prefer ABC's.
We also ordered a serving of "Sweet and Sour Ribs" and a bowl of Pig's organ soup. Dinner was good and the company was fantasic. Anyone know where else to get good Claypot Rice? :P
Try Teck Whye beside the NTUC.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 coffeeshops beside it so go to the one with the cake shop/bubbletea shop right by it.
Been eating there since young.
Maxwell Food Centre and Geylang St 33 :)

New Lucky near Clementi Central serves great claypot rice too! :)
ReplyDeleteYup New Lucky is good! But you should try calling first to order (tel: 67787808) because the wait can be up to half hr at times.
ReplyDeleteWe've heard about the clementi one too but haven't got the chance to try it yet. Anyone knows the exact location? What we understand is that the coffeeshop is on the opposite side of the clementi central. Thanks for the number! Will definately try it out too.
