Hong Kong Claypot Rice

Not a fan but it came highly recommended by a Friend

Fragrant and had smokey burnt bits! Served with mock sausage (resembled hotdogs rather than lupcheong), mock meat, mock salted fish, roasted chestnuts, broccoli, and carrot. Would have liked a slightly higher ratio of ingredients to rice! ($5.80)

Love anything served in hot stone/ claypot and the HK style claypot rice piled with Chinese sausages and cured meats mixed with sweet soy sauce used to be a huge fave of mine. Glad I can enjoy the meat free equivalent now! PS: What do you call someone who orders 3 different claypot dishes in a single meal? A certified pothead 🪴🙃

When I first visited this place, I told myself I NEED to try this someday. The claypot rice was so fragrant, lightly salted (2nd pic for addition of dark sauce), and hearty with an addition of chestnut. This is certainly the dish to go if the claypot yee mee isn’t filling enough. I really like the crispy rice on the sides, “sausages” that tasted like lapchiong, and the strong “wok hei” resembled that of a great claypot rice. While eating this dish, I really thought I was transported back in time eating along roadsides and back alleys of olden days Singapore (not kidding!!😂). The sweet herbal soup and corn cob complemented this dish in clearing the oiliness associated with claypot dishes, though I wish the corn was boiled a tad longer :’)

Hubby said this claypot rice is so-so only, but I reminded him that's it's take away. If dine in I'm sure the taste would be much better, hopefully. Finally my 90th post for the challenge, phew. 90/90 #veganisnotscary
