Yuan Yuan Claypot Rice

As I never check before going to to ABC Brickworks Food Centre yesterday, was disappointed when we found out this claypot rice was closed every Wednesday when we were there. So determined to check it out again, we drop by here again to try out this claypot rice, as it seems to be highly rated too by the online community.

Before we came, my friend called up to order first, so when we were there, our claypot rice was served pretty fast, like less than 5 minutes. When we were there, saw there were quite a few tables also ordered the claypot rice.

We ordered a 2 person portion, which was $10. We also ordered a soup, which was surprising cheap at just $2!

So how's this claypot rice compared to the famous ones at Clementi, Golden Mile and Le Chasseur (opposite The Central)? Well, one significant difference I noticed is at the other places, the usually give ya the soya sauce and oil separately for ya to add and mix, whereas here, it is all pour for ya already, so when you get ya claypot rice, you only need to stir it to mix it properly.

Taste wise, I would say all 4 is pretty comparable, and this one is probably closer to the style of Clementi and Golden Mile one, though I think the latter might just taste a little better (probably because I get the choice to decide how much soya sauce and oil I want to add?). However, Golden Mile one does not offered boiled soup, and the soup at Clementi is also more expensive, so this place have a slight edge in terms of pricing or value for money. Worth mentioning is the fruit juice stall nearby sells the fruit juice pretty cheap too. A big glass for orange juice goes for only $1.80 or $2 I think.

Overall, I feel the claypot rice here is pretty good and coupled with the soup, makes it quite a value for money meal.

PS : While we were there, we also notice a chicken rice stall at the corner which seems to have lots of awards paste on the stall front, and I think I saw someone eating, seems to look quite nice too.
