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!

So what so special about the ramen? Well, the difference I feel lies in their broth and noodles.Hakata ramen is cooked using tonkotsu (pork bone) which usually is the usual cloudy white broth. The broth is super rich in collagen( you can taste it!) The noodles are very thin and straight (something like marutama ramen).I took the original version but I find the taste is too bland for me.Prefer the garlic burnt ramen as the taste is stronger and the soup is nicerOverall

The noodles is similiar to marutama ramen (very thin) and the soup is quite nice actually. However, i prefer the garlic burn as it has stronger taste. the egg is a little too salty for me.

Will I come again? Maybe if I have ramen cravings and around the corner.

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.

A newly open Zi char stall located at the kopitiam @ blk 19 of Ghim Moh estate. The dishes are quite reasonably priced and the food taste is quite ok (depending on which dishes). We tried the curry fish head before and is quite good. So we decided to try out other dishes this time.

Assam fish head - we are quite surprise by the serving as the fish head is really big. but we are quite disappointed with the assam sauce as we find it too little.Home made toufu. this dish is actually quite nice. the toufu is really soft and u can actually taste the egg in the toufu ( really egg toufu lo). however, this dish is alittle too oily. at the bottom of the dish, you can see super thick layer of oil. Salted egg bitter guard. this is my fav dish. the bittergourd is coated with salted egg yolk evenly. i love this!will i come again? Yes. i will still try out other dishes.
