Claypot Rice @ New Lucky Claypot Rice

 


New Lucky Claypot Rice has been a frequent listing on the Michelin Bib Gourmand for multiple years. YumzYumz tries out and reviews if their claypot rice is really that good.

First off, if you do not have spare time to wait, it is highly recommended that you do not try it. They have a disclaimer signage that states that waiting time during non-peak is around 30 to 45minutes. It will be 60 to 90 minutes during peak and during VERY peak period will be may need another 10 to 20minutes. So be warned.

We got ours after 20 minutes or so, where we ordered at 11am during a weekday.

It came steaming hot, with a charring aroma. Mixing in the accompanying dark soy sauce and oil to our preference to their fragrant rice. Although at first glance the rice was slightly wet, but after mixing it all up, it was perfectly mixed and dry. As the claypot was still scorching hot, the rice at the bottom was still charring and burnt.

However, to every claypot fan, the charred rice is actually one of the essence to a great claypot rice. Mixed it all up and it tasted amazing. Rice was not soggy, not mushy, not clumpy, but perfectly cooked. Probably a mixture of different grains to achieve this awesome consistency.

Next was their chicken chunks. It tasted saltish and had a tremendously tender texture. Flavour and texture, checked.

Chinese sausage slices were soft and fragrant, unlike some other claypot rice which are tough to chew on.

Finally, its salted fish bits added the final addition to this yummilicious creation.

Worth noting was their lacklustre attitude, almost seemingly rude. We did not had a pleasant experience during order taking nor when the food was served. And after we had our condiments added, it was taken away and given to other customers. We noticed that the same jars were rotated among the other customers. As wanted alittle more, we went back to the stall for another set of condiment jars. A nudge of the head to acknowledge our request, but was told to bring it back. Lets just say it was less than a welcoming order. meh....

Here is their pricing.
2 Pax : $15
3 Pax : $20
4 Pax : $25

Bear in mind though that we got the $15 order, and it was quite a huge portion.

In summary, claypot rice at New Lucky Claypot Rice was great in terms of quality and quantity, but severely lacking in basic etiquettecy.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Experience Spicy and Savory Flavors with Ng Kuan’s Chilli Pan Mee Pork Cutlet Ban Mian

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
