Wanted somewhere cool and quiet for lunch and decided upon this new joint along havelock road. Yes its air-conditioned . Parked near mscp blk 28A at beo crescent but i realize it may be better to park at blk 51 mscp instead since its just directly opposite. Simple interior deco with nice marble top tables and old style chairs. Likely a 40 seater restaurant. The staff speaks English so it was easy to make orders. There's also a lcd tv on the wall screening local tv, i enjoyed that and watch TV wh

. Parked near mscp blk 28A at beo crescent but i realize it may be better to park at blk 51 mscp instead since its just directly opposite. Simple interior deco with nice marble top tables and old style chairs. Likely a 40 seater restaurant. The staff speaks English so it was easy to make orders. There's also a lcd tv on the wall screening local tv, i enjoyed that and watch TV while lunching. From the menu it seems their signature dish is the stone pot rice so i opted for the lunch set meal, which includes one stone pot rice (i chose pork), one vegetable and one soy beancurd dessert and Chinese tea. I was also given some achar as appetizer. This achar is really thinly slice and the sour nature does bring out your lunch hunger LOL. My vege was served first, liked the sprinkled garlic on the vege. When the rice was served, it immediately reminded me its somewhat a in between of traditional Chinese claypot rice and Korean bibimbap. Served on a wooden holder, the bowl is so hot that anything that touches it sizzles for minutes. The bottom of the bowl is probably coated with oil, making the layer of the rice touching the bowl golden brown and crispy. The server was nice to prepare the dish for me, adding dark soy sauce to it and mixing it well for my consumption. She also explained a little the difference between this and claypot rice is the rice would get burnt so easily yet making the rice crispy and hot. Lup Cheong, minced meat slices and xiao bai chai makes up the dish. i wish there was a little more meat though for a $10 set i paid for. But indeed the rice was crispy yet not burnt, i guess its about the temperature and flame control that made it possible. One thing to mention is the belacan chilli went very well with the rice and they are quite "conservative" for the quantity served so just ask for more

. Dessert was just a small soya beancurd, the lao ban toufu type, pretty average. Total bill $10.35 including the 50cents wet tissue. Hope to return next time to try the rice with their soup. if they could produce good quality tasty soup, it would be a pretty good combination.

But the dining experience can further be enhanced with more messaging either on the menu or the wall about the history behind this fusion styled cuisine, or maybe even showing in-house dishes recommendation on the TV.
