So what's so special about the claypot rice other than new fusion dishes? Traditional claypot rice is cooked using clay pot (ya...that's why it is call claypot rice ma). Stone restaurant uses the pots that are being used for bibimbap! The reason is because this type of pot will constantly keep the rice warm ( trust me..after i finish my rice, the pot is still warm!) and the constant heat from the pot will help to create more rice crust ( for those clay pot rice lover gonna love this!) and not letting it to go chao tah! and the best part of their rice is..they cook the uncooked rice in the pot ( all the way until it is cooked!) so you will need to give them a call before coming down so that they can prepare the rice for u!

another thing that is worth mentioning here is their sambal chilli! it is lady boss's secret recipe and it really set your taste bud on fire!Stone Pot Bacon & Cheese Rice ($10.90) – Bacon, mushroom, herbs with cheese. a fusion mixed of western bake rice and chinese way of cooking rice. The cheese is not too much so you wont get the gek lat feeling. However, i feel the rice is a little dry for me. nevertheless, it is something new to try out!next is the stone chicken pot ($5.30) – Special marinated chicken, salted fish, sausage, mushroom and veg. this is my favourite! they added alot of salted fish inside and the chicken meat is very smooth and tender! guess what? they use drumstick only lo! With lotsa of chinese sausage and salted fish, this dish is like heaven to me haha. but, i find that a little more pork lard oil added to it will make it taste even better! but lady boss say they are practising healthy lifestyle but they can give additional shallot oil by request!next Stone Pork Chicken, Longans & Black Bean Soup (Big - $12.40) – Chicken, dried longan, black beans and slice licorice.This is my first time drinking soup cooked with dried longan. the longan added a different fragrant and taste to the soup. if you see from the picture below, the boss is super generous with the ingredients! and this dish is a super duper healthy dish for black beans is very good for legs, mushrooms is very good for lowering down blood pressure! and it is cooked for very long hours without MSG!next, Onion Cheese Mushroom Omelette - $6.00.this dish is my favorite too! the egg is not overcooked and it is very soft and smooth! the lady boss added some cheese to give the egg a better texture and better taste! the cheese is just nice and will not make you feel gek lat lol... next,Wine Chicken - $8.00.a soup that will warm your stomach on a rainy day! the chicken is cooked in the chinese wine together with some dried chilli to strengthen the taste of the soup. The dried chilli gives the soup a little spiciness which helps to even out the bitter taste from the wine. next is their mango ice cream ($2.60)!the mango ice cream is really very good! you can taste pieces of mango inside! not too sweet for my liking! a definitely must order dish!

Paradise Inn had a change in their menu and launches new variety of food into their menu. I always patronize their outlet @ 313 as it is pretty near my office and their set lunch is extra valued for money! This time round, we took their ala carte dishes. Just a few simple dishes that warms my heart on a weekday afternoonTheir famous kong bah bao - something not to be missed! Recommended!Ma Po Toufu - the toufu is really soft and they use the cai por to cook so it really add a different taste to it.Kai Lan - very crunchy and nice Food : ***

There is a signboard that clearly states their menu - what they have and the price of each dish. you find similar dishes to those non vegetarian ones. We tried their following dishes which i find it quite nice despite is vegetarian cooked in normal tze char way.

Hor Fun - generous with their vegetarian ingredients (vegetarian ingredients are quite expensive as they need a lot of effort to make). hor fun is not soggy and their vegetarian sotong taste abit like "real" one too.Hokkien mee. I'm not a yellow mee person as I usually hate the taste of it but I quite like this one actually.Xin Zhou Bee Hoon. I always like to eat fried beehoon. Their beehoon has this QQ taste. I love it. Except they did not make the bee hoon shorter.Overall the food is nice and not really expensive. for the above, total damage is $28. Will i come again? Definitely, to try out other dishes on the vegetarian day. Now we got another choice for vegetarian food!

Overall, I like their rice and mutton rendang. The rice is very soft and not too strong in the coconut taste so I don't feel very jealt after eating it. The mutton rendang is well done without the "mutton taste" I find the sweet sambal a little salty (aftermath). The drip coffee is really good and affordable.

Will i come again? Yes, I haven't tried their power burger yet!
