[CLOSED] Geylang Claypot Rice (Serangoon Garden)

The part we loved about their claypot rice was that it had the crispy burnt ends that we enjoyed. However, despite the black sauce we added twice, it lacked the intense dark flavour. Conversely, we felt it wasn’t salty enough, perhaps from their choice of dark sauce and salted fish. We asked for crispy pork lard, hoping to enhance the flavour but was disappointed with it too.
Guessed this outlet was a better place in terms of comfort but we’d certainly trade that off for taste compared to eating from a coffeeshop.

The signature claypot rice was priced at $16 for 2 pax. It consisted of a pot of rice topped with chicken pieces, salted fish, pork belly and vegetables. Dark soy sauce was added in and mixed well with the ingredients and rice. It had a savory and smokey taste. The chicken pieces were quite tender too. Salted egg soft shell crab was priced at $20. It was really crunchy and tasty. Another must order for me!

The chicken meat was succulent and tender! Not really a fan of claypot rice cause it can be a bit too dry for me at times but the ingredients are if quality and they are quite generous with the meat and chinese sausage. Would recommend this place if you're a fan of claypot rice:)

Slow-cooked over charcoal with succulent chicken, lup cheong (Chinese sausage), yun cheong (Chinese duck liver sausage), and salted fish

There's a 30 minute wait for the claypot rice upon order and if you go there hungry, the fragrance from the kitchen and the other tables will make the wait feel like forever....but it's totally worth it because the claypot rice has a really good smoked flavor and it's super yummy!! The portion is generous, we ordered the small which was recommended for 2 pax but it was enough to feed 3. Also worth mentioning, the chicken was really tender and succulent!!

Love the tender chicken pieces and scrapping the crispy rice parts from the bottom of the claypot!
