Can somebody explain why claypot rice is so fucking expensive ?

[syed putra]

I am not a fan either. Need to separate the bacon out. Too tedious.

because in the traditional cunto method lice is cooked in claypot from scratch. and the cook must constantly stir and turn it. very time consuming and labor intensive. i shortcut the process by steaming the lice first in a lice cooker, sautéing the meat and garlic with oil in the claypot next, and then adding lice and stirring the mixture with garnish, soy sauce, and sesame seed oil. shiok! like this, lice is more consistent and fluffier all around with some lice caramelized but easier to scoop out. plus, flavor and drippings of meat and garlic are not burnt beyond recognition, are being infused and absorbed by lice, and are not stuck at the bottom of claypot like carcinogenic scum. most important of all i’m able to makan all ingredients, enjoy the flavor without destroying or burning 69% of contents, and finish cooking at 69% less time.

This is real claypot rice

I go to this particular store in JB if I want to eat claypot rice. Only SGD 3.20. Got huge chunks of salted fish in it. Chicken also meaty not like our local stores where the chicken pieces are mostly bones.

The Chinatown one is good, but close down already right? SG ones are ex, may be due to import of ingridients. Go Malaysia, batter taste and more value for money.

Went there before. Long queue so didn't order.

Probably ate less than 10 times in my entire life. I simply don't see the appeal of eating a simple mixture of charred rice and assorted meat in a claypot. This one's at Holland market and was very popular when it was located near Clementi MRT.

Each rice portion is cooked individually in a freaking pot, hence a lot of effort is involved in the preparation,, monitoring, cooking and maintenance of the pot and serving items which will take up a lot of space.

My gripe is that I'm paying a lot of money to eat chow-tar rice. You're basically scraping the barrel for the 精华.

Because everything is made custom, even the rice.

For such food, halal version = crippled version. Similar to actual Olympics vs Special Olympics.

As long as you get a gold medal (fill your stomach) it doesn't really matter, no?

My top 3 claypot rice shops in KL, not in order:

1) Heun Kee, near the red light district and a busy highway flyover.
2) Hong Kee, Chinatown area, push cart.
3) Wei Ji, northeast KL suburbs, opposite a Chinese school.
