Lau Wang Claypot Delights began life as a small stall in Yishun in 2012. It grew into a full food shop in Serangoon in 2013 (since closed), and has since expanded to multiple outlets across Singapore, including Serangoon, Punggol, Tampines, Singpost Centre, Bugis+, Pasir Ris and Tengah.
Every dish is prepared using a traditional recipe and a distinctive claypot-cooking technique, so each order is freshly cooked and served piping hot, staying warm throughout the meal. The brand's signature dishes, Sesame Oil Chicken and Ngoh Hiang, have become staples for regular customers.
Following a brand refresh in 2022 aimed at a younger audience, Lau Wang launched a brand extension, Lau Wang Claypot Legacy, which offers a culinary twist on the classic dishes using premium ingredients in a more refined setting. Its inaugural outlet is at One Holland Village.
Lau Wang Claypot is available for dine-in across its outlets, for islandwide delivery through Deliveroo, GrabFood, foodpanda and OddleEats, and for pre-order through its own website. Customers can also join the Claypot Appreciation Club for a homemade welcome drink and membership perks.
Lau Wang Claypot Delights has a classic Singapore food story. It began as a small stall in Yishun in 2012, serving up traditional claypot dishes cooked the old-fashioned way. By 2013 it had grown into a full food shop in Serangoon (that particular outlet has since closed), and from there the brand kept expanding across the island.
What sets Lau Wang apart is its commitment to a traditional recipe and claypot-cooking technique for every dish that leaves the kitchen. Cooking and serving in claypot means each order arrives freshly prepared and piping hot, and stays warm through the meal rather than cooling on the table. It's a simple idea, but one the brand has stuck to as it has scaled from a single stall to multiple outlets.
Two dishes in particular have become the ones regulars order without fail: the Sesame Oil Chicken and the homemade Ngoh Hiang. Both have been staples of the Lau Wang experience since the early days, and they sit alongside other claypot favourites like Sambal Seafood, Mala Chicken Mix, Frog Leg Herbal Soup and Sambal Kang Kong.
From its Yishun beginnings, Lau Wang Claypot has become a familiar name for communities in Serangoon, Punggol, Tampines, Singpost Centre, Bugis+, Pasir Ris, and now Tengah. Each new outlet has carried the same claypot-cooking approach that built the brand's following in the first place.
In 2022, Lau Wang went through a brand refresh designed to resonate with younger diners. Out of that refresh came a new brand extension, Lau Wang Claypot Legacy, which takes the same classic claypot dishes and reworks them with premium ingredients in a more refined dining setting. The first Legacy outlet opened at One Holland Village, giving diners a more elevated way to experience the same claypot traditions that built the original Lau Wang name.
Lau Wang Claypot dishes are available to order islandwide through delivery partners Deliveroo, GrabFood, foodpanda and OddleEats, so the claypot experience isn't limited to dining in. Customers can also pre-order through the brand's own website ahead of a visit or pickup.
For regulars, there's the Claypot Appreciation Club, a membership programme that comes with a homemade welcome drink on joining, along with other perks for members. Between the two sub-brands, the growing list of locations, and the delivery options, Lau Wang Claypot has built itself into one of Singapore's more recognisable names for claypot cooking, all while keeping the traditional cooking technique that started it all in Yishun back in 2012.
