Founder's Bak Kut Teh @ Rangoon Road

Bak Kut Teh has been one of my favourite local delicacies. Typical there are 2 versions in Singapore, the Klang version that comes in a dark black herbal broth while the Teochew style has a clear and peppery soup. Given a choice, I would always go for the Teochew style that has a peppery kick to it. One of my favourite place selling this type of bak kut teh is Founder's Bak Kut Teh. The original branch is at Balestier Road but I usually go to the Rangoon Road branch which is more convenient and nearer to MRT station.

Pig Liver 2.5/5

The Pig Liver ($6.50) was tender and not over cooked. The texture was good but the taste was somehow too clean, lacking that gamy taste.

Bak Kut Teh Pork Ribs 4.2/5

Bak Kut Teh Spare Ribs 4/5

The Bak Kut Teh basically comes in 2 cuts, the Pork Ribs ($6.50) or Spare Ribs ($9). While the spare ribs are the more premium cut. I usually prefer the pork ribs which are more fatty and tender. The soup here is clear, peppery and pungent. One also can add a bowl of You Tiao ($2) to soak up the delish broth which many locals like to do so.

Beside the Bak Kut Teh, the restaurant also offers many other cooked dishes such as pig trotter, braised beancurd, braised innards and many other vegetables dishes.

Lau Wang Claypot Delights @ Serangoon Central

Located at the corner of block 263 at Serangoon Central is this humble little coffeeshop style eatery selling a variety of hot piping claypot delights. Today with Nat and Nicole, we took a 10 minutes walk from Nex Shopping Mall to Lau Wang Claypot Delights. In seems like the place has another stall that operates in the morning selling noodles dishes too.

Claypot Frog Leg Herbal Soup 3/5

Dinner began with the piping hot Claypot Frog Leg Herbal Soup ($8/$15). While the soup was very flavourful I felt the herbal taste can be stronger. I am not sure how the others found the tender frog leg but I thought a little bit more seasoning was needed to remove the gaminess.

Claypot Minced Meat with Eggplant 3/5

I have never grown up to like eggplant but as age catches up with me, I seem to love the vegetable even more. The Claypot Minced Meat with Eggplant ($4.50/$6.50) was actually quite delectable. I do like my eggplant to be on the mushy side which was exactly what I got. However it was a bit too oily.

Dried Chilli Sliced Fish 3/5

The Dried Chilli Sliced Fish ($4.50/$6.50) comes with large slices of snakehead fish as well as bitter gourd. However the fish tasted on the bland side, needed more seasoning.

Claypot Sesame Oil Chicken 3.5/5

The Claypot Sesame Oil Chicken ($4.50/$6.50) came with tender chunks of chicken in a delish brown gravy that went very well with the bowl of rice. The dish will be even better if the aromatic sesame flavour can be stronger.

Claypot Ginger & Spring Onion Kidney Liver 3.5/5

My favourite among all the dishes I tried was the Claypot Ginger & Spring Onion Kidney Liver ($4.50/$6.50). Although the kidney was a bit gamey, it did not take away the shine of the pig liver in the brown gravy. The texture of the pig liver was just nice, neither too tough or mushy.

Lau Wang Claypot Delights is not a high end restaurant but the humble little corner eatery in the hood serves up some delightful claypot dishes for patron seeking a satisfying meal that is reasonably priced.
