Potluck is a new restaurant opened by the same boss as Soup Restaurant. You can expect decent food, knowing that Potluck is under the same company. This eatery adopts a very 60s-style Singaporean coffeeshop concept. I'm sure the older generation would feel nostalgic just looking at the design of the store. Outside the restaurant, there is even a red, white and blue old-fashioned barber shop pole on one of the mall's pillars. Luckily we got there for dinner early as a queue started to form when w
The free-flow rice costs $1.50 which, in my opinion, is rather pricy. Zi char stalls usually serve rice for 50 cents and one portion is enough for one person. Even though the concept here is that the rice is free-flow, I doubt an average-sized person can consume up to 3 bowls of rice. The rice is also not that great, turns soft and mushy when it comes into contact with gravy.
We ordered the Claypot Cabbage with Mushroom ($5.90). I loved this dish! It brought back memories of childhood~ The cabbage was cooked till it was soft and there were bits of tung hoon in the gravy. Portion was too little for about 4 people but we had other dishes.
We also had the Curry Fish Head ($17.90). There is a framed picture on the wall that states that the usual price of the fish head is $23 which is so expensive! The $17.90 price is apparently a promotion but I doubt so since the picture looks as though the company put much thought into designing and framing it. The meat was soft but the fish was not cleaned enough as we found many fish scales on them. However, the broth was its saviour as it was not too spicy and it had a thick consistency. Perfect addition to white rice.
Lastly, the Claypot Carrot Beef Brisket ($10.90). The carrots in this dish were more like radish instead. The radishes were really soft and flavourful. Biting into one, you can taste the beef gravy and it practically melts in your mouth. The beef, however, were not all broiled consistently as some were softer than others. Overall still a pleasant dish. I would recommend this place for affordable zi char food (avoid the fish head curry because you can find cheaper ones in other places). The decor is also nice enough for people to step foot in just because of the design of the place. This eatery is tucked between Soup Restaurant and another eatery under the same company that also has the concept of a Singaporean coffeeshop, but serving coffee, toast and prata. Go slightly earlier to avoid having to queue during lunch/dinnertime.
