Yew Chuan Claypot Rice – Amazing and Delicious Claypot Rice has been Around for 20+ Years

Yew Chuan Claypot Rice has been open for 20+ years and is a popular shop in the area along Beach Road. Located at Golden Mile Food Centre, the owner learnt to cook claypot rice by working at the Geylang Claypot Rice store because his children loved it. He then set out to open his very own store after learning the skills and mastering the dish.

We saw a new staff helping to prepare and cook the claypot, previously it was just the husband and wife duo. When you come by you’ll still be faced with a queue where they will ask you for your order and your table number so you may comfortably wait at your table.

With a large amount of claypot stacked at the side, they are obviously ready to face a large number of servings and orders through the day. We ordered a large claypot chicken rice and it took almost 30 minutes to come, so do expect an approximate 30 minutes wait for your order.

Their claypot chicken rice had rice, chicken, vegetables, preserved sausages and salted fish all together in a clay pot. The claypot rice came unmixed so you’d have to mix the pot up yourself, do try to mix it up quickly before it starts charring along the side as the claypot would still be hot.

Claypot Chicken Rice Mixed
The claypot was super fragrant with a slight smoky flavour to it and if you mix it well, you’d be able to get charred bits mixed in together with the normal rice. Their crispiness added to the texture of the dish with a slightly bitter char taste that stood out against the sweetness of the claypot sauce.

They were extremely generous with the chicken as many large chunks filled the claypot. The chicken was especially tender and juicy, being savoury and sweet at the same time. The preserved sausages and salted fish added a chewy and salty contrast to the dish. The vegetables provided a fresh and moist mouthfeel that helped to reduce the greasiness of the dish.
