I had tried searching for this claypot rice at Clementi, but only to realised that they had shifted from their old stall to the Holland Market.
Since there is always a long queue for the claypot rice, it is best to order before reaching, best if allowed one hour grace. The menu is quite limited, but they have everything that we want for a claypot rice.
I ordered two portion of $15 each for a group of 6, and it is more than enough. I like the chinese sausage claypot as i think that it is the most traditional out of all, but they have the Wu Wei claypot, the chicken claypot, and chicken feet too.
They offer soups too, of which we had the lotus soup. The portion is relatively alright, and it cost $5 for one. It is enough to be shared among 3 people.
New Lucky Claypot RIce is best known for their tasty claypot rice that is cooked using gas at first before transferring to the claypot to be cooked using the charcoal fire. This is the place I always recommend to my friends whenever they come to Clementi. We all know it\'s not easy to find hawker still using charcoal to cook anymore. During peak period, expect to wait a good 40 minutes for their claypot rice. Usually, if I\'m eating with my parents like today, I would give them a call to order first and went down to find seat later. This helps to save a lot of time waiting there.
The rice has such a nice aroma and we have the freedom to add in the desired amount of sesame oil and dark soy sauce as the oil and dark soy sauce are provided to us before the rice arrived. At the bottom of the claypot would be some brunt rice for those who liked it crispy but it\'s rather unhealthy to eat those brunt rice. The chicken, and Chinese sausage are both tender and juicy. There\'s also salted fish added inside to add some flavours. We also ordered addition of Xiao Bai Cai and Black Chicken soup for a healthier choice.
A note to add, this stall would be relocating to Holland Drive in September. It also meant that next time I would have one less food to recommend when my friends came over my area.Spending: Approximately SGD 7.50(Dinner)
