I'm not sure why, but whenever a dish is cooked or even just reheated in a claypot, the flavor always seems to improve, turning it into something much better than it was. Because of that, I've become a real fan of claypot dishes, and I'm glad I found a stall that offers this kind of food at an affordable price. Their prices range from SGD 5.80 to SGD 9.80 at most. For these prices, it's actually quite affordable compared to other stalls that serve the same style of cooking.
Speaking of cooking style, claypot dishes are essentially reheated or cooked in a claypot, which makes a noticeable difference. Some may argue that a microwave can do the same job, but not really. Think about it. Microwave heating often dries out the food and makes the center oddly hot, while the rest remains unevenly warm. In contrast, heating in a claypot warms the edges first, and then the heat slowly travels toward the center, resulting in even and consistent heating throughout the dish. It’s a subtle difference, but it really shows in the final taste and texture.
What I especially like about claypot dishes is how the sauce thickens as the pot heats up. The consistency becomes richer, and the flavors intensify once it reaches a gentle boil. The transformation is amazing.
I've tried many of the dishes this stall offers, but there was one item I saved for last, the seafood claypot dish.
I had my doubts about it, which is why it was the final item I decided to try from their menu. I wasn't sure if seafood and beehoon would go well together when heated in a claypot. My main concern was that the seafood and the noodles might end up overcooked and soggy. But to my surprise, the cooking temperature was spot on.
The hawker stall is located next to a wet market, which probably explains why the ingredients taste so fresh. Even the shrimp and clams taste like they just came from the ocean. I really enjoy the flavor of fresh seafood because you can smell the natural aroma and taste the authentic flavor without any foul or fishy odor.
Overall, discovering this claypot stall has been a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations. The quality, flavor, and affordability make it a hidden gem worth revisiting. If you're a fan of comforting, flavorful meals, this is definitely a place to check out.
