Claypot Jumbo Lala

Here's another stall that recently opened. It joins the trend of claypot Lala dishes. However, it stands out by being the first to offer a halal version.

Claypot Jumbo Lala

They have a free flow of sauces to make your meal more interesting. There are China Chalok Chilli Sauce, Lemon Chilli Sauce, Salted Egg Yolk Sauce, Sweet Curry Dipping Sauce etc. 

Free Flow of Sauces

Living up to their "Jumbo Lala" name, they only offer bigger Lala. These Lala are large and live.

The bowl of Speciality Lala Bee Hoon was scrumptious. The broth was sweet and packed with the generous servings of eggs. 

Speciality Lala Beehoon - $5

We were served with thick Bee Hoon in a flavourful broth made from their stock, seasoned with some Chinese cooking wine, and evaporated milk, adding depth. Ingredients like vegetables, chilli and their popular Jumbo Lala.

We took out the generous servings of Jumbo Lala from the claypot to prevent it from cooking further.

Claypot Jumbo Lala Pot - $25 

The meat was fresh and plump. Really Addictive for Lala Lovers.

WE also ordered some Sea Urchin Ball ($9.90) and Salmon Ball and Cheese ($5.90). I quite like their Marinated Chicken meat too.

Our Claypot


After visiting numerous claypot places, I found that Claypot Jumbo Lala offers a few different ingredients as compared to others. One of the special items to note is their Fish Noodle with Squid Ink.

Fish Noodle with Squid Ink - $7.90

Take a look at the size of their Lala in comparison to my spoon.

Aside from the various types of seafood balls, thinly sliced meat is an essential part of my claypot meal.

Premium Beef Strip - $8.90

This plump Lala was topped with fried Garlic, enhancing its taste.

Even though our orders were not a lot, we were satisfied with the quality and serving of food. 

Our Orders

The good thing is that they are located in a coffee shop which is just a 5-minute walk away from the MRT station.

Ang Mo Liang Teh

The shop name relates closely to our hearts as this usual description in Dialect usually describes Beer as “Ang Mo Liang Teh”. It is strategically located in CBD. Just imagine that your drinking hole is just around the corner of Eon Shenton. Be it from the taps, bottles of cans, do take a trip down and check it out.

Ang Mo Liang Teh

Here you won’t get to find any carpeted floor or dim lighting. Instead, it was simply furnished with comforting white walls adorned with some dragon murals by local illustrator Tobyato, paying homage to both the beer and the founder, Jerry Yang’s birth year ~ Chinese Year of the Dragon. 

Simple Interior

Let’s get transported by the warm, neighbourhood nostalgia that defines AMLT here. 

Beer

AMLT is a good place to chill and unwind after a hard day’s of work for both local and imported craft beers at very affordable prices.

Ang Mo Liang Teh in Chinese Characters

Once you step into AMLT, you won’t miss this eye-catching mural on the wall.





When there is beer, we can not less out pairing these drinks with some finger food. We indulged ourselves in their wings and some unctuous Chinese Style BBQ Pork on the Pizza.




Our Beer and Meal

The fusion of our Chinese BBQ Pork, aka Char Siew, on the smoky thin-crust pizza was heavenly. We added some paprika to give our palettes a spicy kick.

With its location, who works around the area is very convenient. Even my friend who works around that area agree that she will be visiting again too.

Hamidah's Kitchen @ Kaff Kafe

Heading down to Hamidah's Kitchen at Kaff Kafe in Simpang Bedok only to realise that their Briyani menu was not available in the evening. We were disappointed and decided to go for the alternative. 

Hamidah's Kitchen runs a BBQ Menu starting from 5pm to 11pm.

We were excited about the 10 pieces of Tahu Bagedil and were surprised to see the size of each piece. 

Tahu Bagedil - $12

Its a combination of both Toufu and Bagedil fillings in the middle while the exterior was crispy and overall a yummy one.

While at the self service station, we grab our own sauces as well as butter.

  • Garlic Chicken,

Charcoal Claypot Crab

Charcoal Claypot Prawns and Lala are popping up in industrial estates everywhere and now Singapore has its first Charcoal Claypot Crab. 

The people behind this Charcoal Claypot Crab are the same people from Woodlands Claypot Prawn. 

Charcoal Claypot Crab

The ordering system is similar to Woodlands Claypot Prawn: Just take the Ordering Card indicate your preference of food and hand it over to the counter.

Let's enjoy the charcoal claypot crab with seafood, meat, vegetable, beancurd, and noodle/rice.

Page 2 of The Menu

The Butter Milk Chicken Rice with Egg is flavourful with fried tender chicken pieces coated in a creamy and buttery sauce. It was served with a perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk that mingled with the buttermilk sauce, adding an extra layer of richness and decadence. This combination is a satisfying and comforting meal with a delightful balance of flavours and textures.

Butter Milk Chicken Rice with Egg - $6.80

Here's our pick for the Crab Charcoal Claypot. What do you usually have?

Our Ingredients

The broth was milky by default and was made up of vegetables. It was not as umami as I had thought.

Charcoal Claypot Crab

The crab itself was of smaller size and tasted ordinary.

However, I wish that the meat was sweeter and more succulent.

Crab Claw

Take a look at our bubbling hot pot with Crab. We had shitake Mushrooms, Hokkaido Scallops mocked abalone, you mai cai etc. 

Our Claypot with Crab

Besides the Crab Charcoal Claypot, I'm glad that they have speciality items on the menu like the Crab Bee Hoon as well as the Creamy Butter Chicken Rice.

The coffee shop is about 12 12-minute walk from the Ubi MRT Station and might be quite inconvenient for those who are not driving.
