The story behind this selection is a god damn grandmother story which I feel will bore you readers to closing this window.
To cut the crap, I had this claypot rice 20 years ago, and I chanced upon it some weeks back and I gathered the KOPI KREW down to test it out again after this long absence. Who would have thought, tucked in a corner of Ang Mo Kio, you people sure have enjoyed this culinary delight for the longest time huh.
We start the ball rolling with this perculiar looking liver soup and boy does it taste good. Liver soup to me is generally hard to cook to perfection because the soup itself must have enough taste, but cooking the liver too long makes it stiff and disgusting to chew. If there is only one bowl of soup you will ever swallow in Ang Mo Kio, please go and savour this. Its just too good to be true. Good tasting soup, tender liver. Excellent appetiser of what is about to come next.
How about a 7-men serving rice for 4 very hungry Kopi Kias? The generously sliced salted fish and tender chunks of chicken is the recipe behind this long-time famous claypot rice. The rice is not your typical well done rice offer by other stalls but nonetheless, still acceptable. Chinese sausages are sweet enough but just enough to make you think its chinese sausages. Now, the main star of the show, the burnt and charred rice crisps left over at the bottom of the pot. This is nasty shit for the health conscious buggers out there. Proceed with caution.
Rating for Soup: 4/5 Kopi Os (no joke, must try)
