Mixed Claypot Rice($15)
Be prepared to queue, and waiting up to an hour is not uncommon if you walk in, so it's advisable to contact them in advance to minimise your waiting time. They offer various portion sizes ranging from $8 to $20 for their Claypot Rice, and we opted for the $15 portion, suitable for 2 pax.

The Claypot Rice is a delightful mix of chunky chicken, lap cheong, salted fish, and greens. Each pot is meticulously cooked over charcoal fire to achieve the best aroma. When served, the claypot is scorching hot, so caution is advised. Quickly pour the dark soy sauce and sesame oil mixture over the rice, mix thoroughly to ensure each grain and ingredient is coated with flavour. The rice is crunchy, carrying hints of dark soy, smokiness, and the fragrance of lap cheong. The chicken is tender, but watch out for bones. The charred bits on the base and sides of the claypot add a sinful touch, though they may not be the healthiest. Overall, the taste is mildly flavoured, and adding more of the dark soy mixture could enhance the experience. However, the rice tends to be dry due to the intense heat from the claypot.

To complement the Claypot Rice, we paired it with the Watercress Pork Rib Soup($2.50). Surprisingly, the soup stands out with its natural watercress flavour. The pork ribs are soft and tender, and the soup provides a refreshing contrast to the hearty claypot rice. Plus, the price is unbeatable.

It is what it is, quite standard. Small pieces of canned fruits inside

This sucks. Very smelly and the texture wasn't good either

Now this was average. Lamb stench was strong, no crisp, not tender enough.

Portion was small for this price too

6 pcs

Small sized, it's basically stretchy mochi in a sugar sauce that has depth and osmantus aroma. So, not bad ofc

Misnomer. It's actl a type of tendon, it's called skin cos of the shape. It's meaty and quite tender

Pretty decent

Very generous portion, I tot it's just going to be 1 pc. This is like good tendon, v tender.

Absolutely delicious honestly. Fam was turned off initially but after tasting it they only left me with one piece

Very well done. This is excellent. No foul smell, very well cooked.

The chili padi one is clearly much spicier. The other one is very familiar
