Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Rice (联合本记煲饭) is one of the many food stalls in Chinatown Complex Food Centre serving claypot rice dishes with chicken, sausage or both and various stewed soups. The claypot rice dishes is recommended by Michelin Guide since 2018. Every claypot rice is cooked on order and expect to wait for at least 30 minutes — and longer during peak hours.
The Chicken Claypot Rice (滑鸡饭) is served piping hot with chicken meat and vegetable on white rice. The chicken looks so meaty, pure (white) and smooth.
Sweetened dark sauce and oil need to be added, as desired, to the dish and stir thoroughly before eating. Some crispy scorched rice are already formed at the bottom.
The rice exhibits a nice claypot aroma and taste. The smooth chicken is really soft, tender and juicy with added flavours from the dark sauce. Saltiness of the dish is just-nice — since I had gone easy on the dark sauce, adding it sparingly. It is a delicious dish that is worth the wait.
I wonder why I did not try Lian He Ben Ji's Mixed Rice (什锦饭), with both chicken and sausage, which will allow me to try both flavours at one go. I will plan another visit.
