[CLOSED] Chef Wai's Poached Rice (Jem)

Conveniently located within Food Village at @takashimayasg , @chefwaipoachedrice is here to warm your tiring soul after a long day of shopping spree!

The prawn-based broth was sweet, savoury and strong on seafood flavours. For first timer, I’d recommend Emperor Mixed Seafood Pao Fan (S$10.90) which gives you the best of all worlds with prawns, prawn paste balls, scallops, and fried fish all in one. I love it when the prawns were not only fresh but came de-shelled too!

If you want to try something new, they serve poached noodles too! Smooth and silky, a good alternative to poached rice.

Heard so much about their Pao Fan and decided to drop by to try it. @chefwaipoachedrice first outlet is opened at JEM in Feb 2021 and they already have 3 outlets in Singapore now.

The broth has a well rounded flavor with just the right amount of umami. For first timer, I would recommend to try their Emperor Mixed Seafood Pao Fan ($10.90) as it features Scallops, Prawns, Fried Fish, Prawn Paste Ball, etc. Decent size Prawns and Chunky Fried Fish. I personally love their Springy Prawn Paste Ball! I will come back just for a bowl of of the Prawn Paste Ball! I also like the idea that the Crispy Rice and Egg Floss are served separately.

By chance to speak to the Chef Wai and got to know that he is actually the Ex-chef from Paradise Group. No wonder there is certain standards from choice of ingredients, broth and the thoughts of serving the crispy rice separately.

Location: JEM, Takashimaya B2, Causeway Point.

Second time eating poached rice and I ordered the Emperor Mixed Seafood Poached Rice ($10.90). The crispy rice was put separately to prevent sogginess if you want to enjoy your meal slowly and the seafood broth is good. I will come back again to try more.
