We kept craving for clay pot dishes this week, maybe because of the cool weather. Seeing this local restaurant posting a sign of serving clay pot rice, we immediately went in for tonight's dinner.Unexpectedly they offered variety options, including steam dishes. We decided you try their steamed garlic aubergine with vermicelli, egg and beef clay pot rice and Chinese sausage and chicken clay pot rice. Steamed garlic aubergine with vermicelli was unexpectedly big portion. It was steamy hot. Smelly

Steamed garlic aubergine with vermicelli was unexpectedly big portion. It was steamy hot. Smelly incredible. It was loaded with diced garlic. Aubergine was pretty white which we thought it wasn't fully cooked through; unexpectedly it was soft and literally melted in your mouth. Absorbed all the soy sauce underneath. Juicy with a hint of eggplant sweetness. Vermicelli was juicy and absorbed all the favour. It was a bit tough for me, but flavour wise it was a perfection. Perfect to eat with rice.
The two clay pot rice came together, staff nicely helped drizzling their soy sauce and covering back the lid. We opened the lid after 3 mins. The charred delicious aroma instantly made you drooled. Egg yolk was still runny, I immediately mixing with the rice. Crispy rice bottom already formed. They were very generous on giving beef. Marinate was just right. Soft and savoury. Cooked just right. Rice tasted like a smoky egg fried rice. Absolutely loving it. Soy sauce was on a very mild saltiness. Didn't give that much saltiness to the rice. Crispy rice bottom was very crispy and smoky. And could literally scooped big pieces out. It was satisfying.
Chinese sausage was sadly hard and tough. Gave the aroma and fattiness to the rice but kind of uneatable. Chicken was soft and moist. Meat was easily to bite through. Rice was again well cooked. Absorbed all the fattiness from the chicken and chinese sausage, but didn't have the greasiness just the richness.
Overall, there are many more needs to try on. Food quality was undoubtedly guaranteed, environmental hygiene definitely kept it old school.
