Many food stalls and restaurants are jumping on the bandwagon with this rising popularity, offering their version of claypot Lala. These establishments vary in their recipes and cooking techniques but the core appeal remains the same: a delightful combination of tender clams and a savoury aromatic broth service in the rustic charm of a claypot with burning charcoal fire.

The table is set with an array of fresh ingredients, from thinly sliced meats to vibrant vegetables from our orders through the reusable menu. While we were waiting for the claypot of Special Lala Broth to be ready, we chit chat among ourselves.

A cloud of fragrant steam escaped as we lifted the lid of the clay pot, revealing the contents within. I was flabbergasted and excited by the sight that greeted me with these plump, jumbo Lala clams. Their shells were widely parted to reveal its tender, succulent meat.

They were nestled in a rich, aromatic broth, glistening with the hint of fried garlic and ginger strips. The unexpected bounty took my breath away, and I could not wait to sink the spoon in and grab myself a sip of its broth.

Lala

There are 3 Lala dishes available, Lala White Bee Hoon, Lala Mui Fan and Lala Bee Hoon Soup. As a fan of Lala White Bee Hoon, I could not resist this dish. The broth from the plate of Bee Hoon tasted the same as what was from our claypot. The taste was considerably fine with Jumbo Lala, prawns, egg and vegetables making up the dish.

Having the Lala cleared from the pot, its time to put in our ordered ingredients. Let’s start dipping our thin layer of meat into the savoury hot claypot broth for seconds to get this cook!

Shabu Shabu

The playful me could not resist to create some joy out of the meal and decided to do the flip and roll of the Shabu Shabu over the pair of chopsticks.

The Flip & Roll of the Meat

We order a serving of Tiger Prawn and it came in a tray of 4. The prawn meat was succulent and bouncy topping up the speciality Lala broth with additional umami flavours. 

Prawns

As usual, we prefer not to cook these prawns over the fire for a long time as it might lost the texture we wanted.

The ambiance of a charcoal pot fire is definitely cozy and inviting, with warm glow and gentle crackle. The dining experience was made better as we gather over this warm pot during a cool weather after a rainy day.
