It was already 9pm and we were searching for a place to have dinner. As we were in Joo Chiat so we decided to visit Yummy Claypot. The waitress was quick to clean up a table for us and we were promptly seated. I was flipping through the menu and the clay-pot dishes are not cheap. Being watchful of our spending, we decided to settle for their soup and their cheapest clay-pot rice.
The wait staff informed us that the clay-pot rice requires 20 minutes of preparation time and we are fine with it since we can enjoy the soup while waiting for our main course. Our pots of soup arrived within minutes after the order has been placed.
My female friend and I had their double boiled watercress soup while my bro ordered their ginseng soup. I must say at the chef is quite generous with the ingredients as I had quite a fair share of pork in my soup. Chinese style watercress soup can never go wrong (unless the chef do not wash the watercress properly which hardly happens) and I do enjoy my soup.
The clay-pot rice is kinda disappointing as the taste does not reflect the name of the restaurant. Yummy is certainly not the word to describe my chicken clay-pot rice. The portion is decent for its price but what makes the dish disappointing is that the flavor is one-dimensional and failed to tantalise my taste buds. Dark soy sauce, a few slices of Chinese dried sausage and pieces of chicken (that comes with bones and minimal meat) plus low quality rice. Hmmm… the standard is the same (or slightly lower) as those found in hawker centres/food courts and you certainly don’t have to travel all the way to this eatery in Joo Chiat.
Yummy Claypot does not have service charge so it is understandable that they do not provide water (or maybe you have to request for it). This is quite a forgettable dining experience and I don’t think I’ll ever return to this restaurant for their food. There are certainly better eateries in the area.
