Guan Guan Claypot Rice

159 Mei Ling Street #02-97

I heard loads about this claypot rice place but just could not find the time to swing by that neighbourhood. When I finally made it out there, I was not convinced that this was worth the wait or the drive. Its a nice claypot rice alright - with the chicken pieces, slices of lap cheong (Chinese waxed sausages) and extra salted fish freshly cooked with the rice, and with thick dark soy sauce stirred in, just the way I like it - but it was missing the "fire". The smoky, slightly charred flavours that usually accompany the best of this dish. I like that this place is open late though. They were happy to serve us even though we arrived past 9pm. Total meal cost S$18 (slightly over US$10.60) for three.
