Du Du Yue Cai 嘟嘟粤菜

The striking romantic pink signboard and matching pink menu have been making waves on social media. Du Du Yue Cai, located in Eunos, now occupies the former space of Hae! Claypot @ Eunos (Prawn & Lala). Interestingly, it’s still helmed by the same owner, just with a refreshed direction. As the hotpot/steamboat trend slowly cools off, they have pivoted to serving comforting Cantonese cuisine instead

Since it’s highly raved about, we ordered their Singapore’s 1st Crispy Orh Luak. Served in a pan, it came with generous oysters layered over an ultra-thin, crispy egg base.

The pairing of the crispy egg base with the soft, plump oysters created a delightful contrast in texture. The dish’s presentation was lifted with a sprinkle of chopped spring onions, adding a pop of colour.

Du Du's Recommendation

The dishes were served in rustic earthen claypots. We tried the beef strips with Japanese sauce, and the flavours were spot on, a fragrant mix of chilli, spring onions, onions, and garlic. Each piece of meat was well coated and thoroughly infused with its savoury marinade.

Another highly raved item is the Baked Yellow Croaker Fish with Lantern Chilli. The preparation with lantern chilli gave it a wonderful depth of flavour, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tender, delicate flesh of the fish.

Pork Collagen Soup with Lotus Roots & Peanuts sounded close to heart, reminiscent of comforting dishes from mum’s kitchen. While the ingredients were ample, the flavour fell short for me as the soup tasted rather bland.

The Creamy Salted Egg Corn came as a pleasant surprise. The glistening coating on each kernel immediately caught my eye, and the flavour turned out to be incredibly addictive. The golden-yellow corn was cut into smaller sections along the stem, making it easy to enjoy while soaking up all that rich, savoury salted egg goodness.

The Pork Trotter Vinegar was genuinely satisfying. Its sweet and tangy gravy paired perfectly with a bowl of rice, making it incredibly comforting. The pork trotters were braised and simmered until tender, soaking up all the rich flavours. A hearty dish that not only warms the soul but also gives you a good dose of collagen.

With the selection of dishes we picked from the menu, it felt like a fresh and interesting way to enjoy zi char together. Gathering around these claypot and Cantonese dishes made the experience even more special, especially when shared with friends and family.

Our Order

The dishes were served impressively fast, arriving one by one in quick succession. Just as we were settling in and enjoying our dinner, the staff surprised us with a small glass of chilled green bean soup for each of us, a thoughtful and refreshing touch to end the meal.
