Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Rice 335 Smith St #02-198, 199, Chinatown Cplx Food Ctr (Map) 3pm – 9pm Thu
This is situated at a charming corner “window unit” and has an airy feel that overlooks the street buzz below. The sisters have been churning this out for decades, in a consistent robotic fashion, from measuring rice and water (accurately, without the need to measure) and releasing those ingredients like sesame soy chicken, salted fish bits, Chinese sausage etc. over the rice as it bakes in both gas and wood fire. The smoky aroma and the fan chiew (charred crispy rice edges) are endearing. You mash up the claypot of wonder, mash the soft "mui heong" salted fish and crispy rice well, tear in, and experience this once-peasant street dish from Guangzhou, China. Be warned, the wait time at peak hours can go up to 1 hour.
