This stall is housed in the same coffee shop as the popular Botak Jones. Tucked in the left corner of the coffee shop, it can be easily missed as long queues at BJ tend to attract more attention.
Young, and/ or international folks go for BJ. Ah, but veterans know Claypot Delight.
We went there once, and were surprised at great food and low prices. Within a week, we were back again. My parents were more fanatic. Just the week before, they went there 3x in a week! (And we don't stay in Clementi.)
Below are some of the menu items: Claypot Fish head ($12/ $15)- nowadays, you don't really get good and cheap fishhead anymore. This one is generously topped with the veg (brinjal, ladyfingers, long beans). And the curry was marvellous. Fragrant thick curry and enough spicy level. I literally drank the curry like soup (no thanks to what it could do to my waistline).
Claypot sesame chicken ($3/$5)- delicious juicy chicken stewed in sesame oil and dark sauce. Ooh lala. Cavan enjoyed it so much we had to order 2nd claypot. And $3 claypot is already quite a good portion (can feed 3-4).
Claypot mixed veg ($3/$5)- this is cooked to the right level of softness. The dried shrimps added a punch to the chap chai. I can eat it on its own, man!
Claypot pig's liver/ mixed pig's organs ($3/$5)- You have to request for the latter as it's not on the menu. The organs are nicely cooked with spring onions and you don't taste any smelly porky smell. (I get turned off when the organs are not washed thoroughly and cooked properly.)
There were other dishes such as curry chicken and soups. All priced at $3/ $5.
Very happy we found a cheap and good place. Overall, it is cheaper than eating tze char. And not laden with MSG.
