Claypot that warms the heart and the tummy…

18-Jul ~ Claypot Restaurant

Heading to Hill Side of Tanjung Bunga, where you can see the 7-11 just next to the Vintage Bulgarian (which we have been there earlier) on the right hand side, go straight to the Jalan Sg Kelian, and you will find this magnificent signboard with claypot as the iconic in the signboard. And here you go, the Claypot Restaurant.

Claypot was believe could sustain the heat of the food served in them...and that's the beauty of Claypot...

You may just park your car outside the entrance and there’s limited parking space. And we were lucky to find the place for my little Kelisa a.k.a Mini Pajero to cozy in as well.

At the entrance they designed the place with the garden-look. Lots of trees and you may found little fountain nearby as well.

The menu was simple and yet packed with lots choices. From vegetables to all sorts of meats…from spicy to TauYu (Soy sauce), you name it and they will have it!!
Something that catch me eyes was this self-made paper boxes. I used to fold them very well as well..but that was history!! LOL
When I was younger that time, I was thought by one of my aunty to fold this paper boxes. This is indeed very useful to throw my mum’s unnecessary Kuaci’s s skin or even the Mandarin oranges peel during the New Year.And this plate of fish cracker was for us…for FREElet’s cut the story as my tummy was growling madly…

1st to serve was this Boiled Haw flakes with apple.Mum said this drink gradually help for digesting and this explains why is my tummy is howling strong and stronger…
This Haw fruits were boiled with the apple until the apple soften and add some rock sugar and you will love them for sure.

And this is hubby’s drink, Lo Han Guo with Chrysanthemum. I found this drink was abit bitter and we suspected they have put too much of Loh Han Guo on the drink.Our appetizer, Prawn toast, was highly recommended from the friendly staff over there.
The minced prawn was spread richly in this bread which cut neatly. Next, they put on some toasted sesame seed on top of the minced prawn and deep fried for perfection. And this indeed was a GREAT appertizer!! (RM6 for a small plate that served for 3pax).

Next to come was my mum’s favorite, Preserved Vegetable (Mui Choy – a very well known preserved salted vegetable normally cook with pork) with braised pork. (RM12 each). This vegetable itself was already taste so yummy as it was preserved long enough. Normally, my mum will shred the vegetables very very finely as well as the pork and stewed together. But Mum said that this dish was rather disappointing as the meat was rather bulky and the vegetable was not that tender enough. And I have the same thought too...

But the taste was there anyway…Next to come was this Claypot Brinjal with minced pork. (RM8 per pot)Brinjals were stacked closely in the pot and the minced pork (stir fried minced pork with lots of dark soya sauce) were poured on them and bring to boil. Garnish with some spring onions and ginger slice and it is ready to eat!!

The last dish to come was the so-called new dish recommended by the staff as well. Kapitan chicken. RM10 per plate. The chicken meat so tender in the mouth…and the curry with lots of herbs and spices and rich in coconut sauce…all of this really make my tummy screamed for more….Before we thought that the diner was over, we were served with a cup of home made tea. When checked with them, they used Pu Er tea to brew together with some Ginseng roots and some Kei Chi..

No doubt, Claypot could help to sustain the heat within, however, this type of dishes is very heaty for our body as well... and this cup of tea I believe could help to ease out the heatines within out bodyOverall, this place really ROCKS my tummy especially when the weather was cold and as well as rainy days. Do drop by as I can see they do have porridge in the claypot which I think will not be any weaker as well!!
