Honestly, I haven't had enough claypot rice to judge, but this #Michelin Bib Gourmand stall had a pretty good one.
-
Claypots are only put to the charcoal flame upon ordering, which means minimum wait times of around half an hour. The result though, was a 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($12) brimming with well-separated grains of rice that packed good moisture.

After jumbling the rice with some dark sauce, we indulged in spoonfuls of savoury bliss. Intermittent charred bits infused a gratuitous crunchiness along with intoxicating smokiness, but the rice itself was pretty mild in smokiness. Ingredients were also included rather generously, with the chicken being particularly succulent. For regular hour-long waits though, maybe pair it with a craft beer night at Smith Street Taps.
