Damien Foo and Will Chua first met in Singapore Institute of Management Global Education in 2009. After completing their tertiary education, they started an e-commerce business in 2016 selling Japanese Bath Towels ๐
After 1 year, the rising US Dollar lessened their profits, and they decided to end the business. As Damien's parents operate a Bee Hoon Breakfast Stall at Kovan Market and Food Centre, the pair decided to venture into F&B, selling Claypot Rice ๐
It took Damien 6 months to master the technique and refine his recipe, before he nailed on a winning formula. They opted to use a charcoal stove to prepare their Claypot Rice (even though charcoal costs 3 times as much as gas) as it imparts a nice smokiness to the dish ๐ฅ
Chinese Waxed Sausage (that are imported from Hong Kong) and Long-grain Jasmine Rice are used to to cook the dish. The Chicken Chunks are marinated with Shaoxing Rice Wine, Oyster Sauce and Ginger. Salted Fish, Dark Soya Sauce and Shallot Oil complete the dish. Each Claypot Rice takes 20 minutes to cook upon order, so be prepared to wait for a little while! ๐พ
This is nice Claypot Rice that is flavourful, with charred smokiness and savouriness from the Salted Fish. Even as a takeaway, it is really good with the lingering smokiness from the Charcoal ๐
Prices start from $7.50 for a single portion! Takeaway + 50ยข ๐๐ป
