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.

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.

Our Charcoal Claypot Feast

As usual, we took out the cooked lala and prevent it from further boiling so that we can get to enjoy the textural bite.

Lala

The normal size Lala was yummy, of the right textural bite and not too rubbery. The little spice and ginger elevates its taste.

Lala

Yamada Beancurd

We chanced by Yamada Beancurd as it surprised us after our dinner at Pelangi. Despite the rain, this long snakey queue was out in the carpark queuing for something from the lorry hawker.

While we were queuing in the rain without an umbrella, the friendly assistant came over and asked if we needed an umbrella and we borrowed it to shelter ourselves from the rain.

Yamada Beancurd

Work delegations were very well orientated with 1 taking orders, 1 taking care of the beancurd portion, 1 adding toppings to the orders etc.

For beancurds, it was scooped up carefully by the man at the stall into a plastic bowl.

Beancurd Original 

The guy topping up the order

I have been missing my childhood favourite Pandan Beancurd in Singapore's Hawker and I'm so excited to have a bowl of it. 

Scooping up the pandan flavour

The bowl of Beancurd was wobbly and packed with pandan fragrance. The cold and wet weather makes consuming this bowl of beancurd so stomach comforting. Even though we were kind of full after dinner, we quickly emptied this bowl. 

Pandan Beancurd - RM 3.50

If I happen to be in Taman Pelangi area in the eveings and get to see them, i dont mind having beancurd from them again.
