Kallang Claypot Lala

Claypot Lala / Prawns / Crayfish has been a trending dish in the culinary scene nowadays, garnering significance attention and popularity. The use of claypot enhances the flavours by providing even heat distribution and retaining moisture, resulting in a rich, aromatic dish that is both comforting and delicious 

Kallang Claypot Lala

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. 

Condiments Counter

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.

Ingredients.

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.

Jumbo Lala

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. 

Lala White Bee Hoon - $5.80

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.

I was impressed by the array of more than 150 types of beers while walking beside the rows of chillers, it was awe-inspiring especially since they had beers of different tastes like sour.

Beer Place

Taking notice of what was hung on the wall we noticed numerous kinds of Breweries indicated. With so many different types of beers in the chiller, it's evident too.

While at the side of the chiller, they have indicated the type and taste of Alcohol, allowing customers to choose what they like.  In this case, this section of beers are sour and gose.

While the Sunbird series they had in their chillers.

The Sunbird Series

Yes! Here's some Mou Tai from the bottle.

The Cat

We were drawn to the cute mascot and the local snack "Kueh Salat". It was said to be a National Day Drink. The colour was dark purple. 

Kueh Salat

I was thrilled when I saw that their menu was Thai Food by Nummun Thai Kitchen as this Thai Food place is one of my top choices for Thai Cuisine. 

We had Grilled Pork Skewers for Appetizers, better known as "Moo Ping". The grilled sweet-tasting Skewers were inviting. The marinade with the grilling process caramelized the sugar, adding a delightful smoky char to the meat. We love the moist and succulent texture of the Skewers.

Grilled Pork Skewers (4 pcs) - $12

The given sauce on the other hand was sweet and a tad spicy. Dipping them into the dipping sauce and enhancing the overall experience. 

Dipping into Sauce

Here comes the most iconic dishes of Thai Cuisine, Pad Thai. It is known for its perfect balance of flavours and texture. 

Phad Thai - $10

We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and we simply enjoyed the harmonious blend of sweetness, saltiness and sour taste. Its aroma and texture were already good enough to appeal to us.

Whao I love that!

Pork Trotter Rice is also known as Khao Kha Moo in Thai Cuisine, is a comfort food providing a rich and hearty dining experience. No doubt that the rice did not come with much gravy, the pork trotter was already yummy in its deep, savoury flavours. The pork trotters was tender and the slow cooking process infused the meat with a complex blend of sweet, and saltiness, making each bite incredibly flavourful.

Pork Trotter with Rice - $12

The Papaya Salad, also known as Som Tum, is a vibrant & refreshing dish. The crispy & shredded green papaya provides a crunchy texture complemented by the sweet and tangy dressing made of fish sauce, lime juice etc. Tomatoes & peanuts elevated the salad as well as a kick of heat from the Thai Chilies, creating a delightful interplay of sweet, sour, salty and spicy notes. This is a perfect starter.

Papaya Salad - $10

Be it a light bite or a full meal, if you enjoy Thai Food, these are two of the recommendations for the mains on their menu. 

The Mains

The beers definitely goes well with the sides, especially the Moo Ping!

The Sides

Good Food, Good Beer. It's definitely the kind of place that I would want to chill out and laze myself around. For gatherings, this is a good spot for food and beer.
