Known to be one of the few famous claypot rice in Singapore, I think the Geylang Claypot Rice lives up to its name. For S$14.00, enjoy a pot of charcoal flame-cooked rice that is well-cooked with that bit of crunch. I was pleasantly surprised to find some slices of pork belly amidst the other ingredients such as chicken meat, Chinese sausage, salted fish and traces of salted egg yolk. Something else that was nice was that even though I found formation of rice crisps, I did not encounter much difficulty in scraping them off the wall of the claypot, so nothing was left uneaten (except the chicken bones).

As pointed out accurately by fellow Burpplers, the claypot rice is cooked from scratch, so be prepared to give that 30-minute wait for the food to be ready. If you are getting any drinks, maybe it will be wise to order only when the star item is served to your table. Oh, erm, be prepared to wait for a free table too.
