Claypot chicken rice @ Compass Point<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"dining-068.JPG\"The two of us made another trip to The Rivervale<\/a> to work out some matters with the condominium manager, after which we headed for an early dinner again. I\u2019ve been eager to try out the claypot rice at other places in the hopes that I\u2019d find something that\u2019s even tastier than what I\u2019ve had at Thomson Plaza<\/a>. I found one such stall at the Compass Point<\/a> foodcourt on level 4, and here\u2019s the report card.<\/p>\n

There are some similar aspects compared to the Thomson Plaza<\/a> version. The cooking style is similar, there\u2019s chicken, veg, salted fish and the like still. It also cost $4 too. The taste however was noticeably different. Specifically, while this evening\u2019s version was heavily drenched in sauce, the sauce itself didn\u2019t improve the flavour of the rice at all. In fact, the sauce was tasteless and I almost thought it was more colouring than anything else. So, while the chicken pieces were comparable, the all important accompanying rice was not – and it fared poorly. On the upside, the supplied chilli was magnificent. It was pleasantly sour with a taste of lime, and left an exciting tingle on the tip of the tongue whenever I dipped the chicken in.<\/p>\n
