What's cookin'?

Look at the utensils laid out! Can you guess what's coming up next?



A mug of oil, a mug of dark soya sauce, two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, one ladle and one plate.... Hmmm, what can we be having?



Knew you wouldn't waste time guessing! We're having claypot rice! Whoopee!

The stall we patronised is located in a coffeeshop at Blk 328, Clementi Ave 2, and its stall name is New Lucky Claypot Chicken Rice. The thing that I love about the claypot rice at this stall is the chicken! It's extraordinary! The texture of the chicken meat is like nothing I've ever tasted. So tender and moist, even the breast meat too. The salted fish bits added an unexpected salty punch to the dish at times and the chinese sausage was so sinful. I nearly tried to send Wendy off for some miscellaneous task so I could eat more of the claypot rice. Mine mine mine! Gluttony aside, do take note that the stall is closed on Wednesdays.


Oh, by the way, claypot rice needs a little more work from the customer before it can be eaten.

Trail of Crumbs (ToC) Ultimate Stepwise guide to claypot rice preprandial preparation:
1. Take out the chicken and put it on the plate.
2. Add the dark soya sauce and a little bit of oil.
3. Mix the rice well with the ladel. The rice should appear uniformly darkish brown after proper mixing.
4. Taste and repeat step 2 to 4 is necessary.
5. Dish out the rice into the bowls, take some chicken and it's Chow Time!

Oh is this the stall which you have to book a table and make your order a few days in advance, because if you go there on the spot you'll have to wait up to a few hours? My friend mentioned that there is a very good claypot rice stall in Clementi which is like this, but I don't know if this is the one...

Erm, wait up till an hour maybe yes, but book in advance for a few days seem unlikely. You can make an advance order by phone and go down to the stall later, when the food is ready.
