Claypot cooking is a Chinese tradition in which rice, meat, vegetables and sauce are cooked together in a clay pot over a flame, which gives the food a smoky aroma and a crisp, caramelised layer of rice at the bottom. Claypot rice is cooked to order and takes time, often twenty to thirty minutes, so regulars order early and share a few side dishes while they wait. The crust at the bottom is considered the best part, so scrape it up before it burns. The pot stays hot for a long time, so take care when serving, particularly with children. Lunch and dinner are the busiest times in an HDB neighbourhood, and mid-afternoon is calmer. Ask about pork, shellfish or other ingredients if you have dietary restrictions.
For residents around Bukit Batok West, Peng Wang is a neighbourhood place to try claypot cooking.
