Delicacy Food Centre

You must be wondering where/what this place is huh? Well it's my favourite claypot beef rice stall! Besides beef rice, they serve up pretty good zhi char too. The place is run by a Cantonese chef & mostly Cantonese crew too as far as I can tell. How do I know this you may ask? He speaks fluent Cantonese with that familiar Hong Kong twang, and his beef rice is drowned in egg gravy - a tell-tale cooking trait of a Cantonese chef because they love soupy-gravy stuff. Yums.

For the longest time - 4 yrs to be precise, I've been a blur sotong of a customer who ate at his stall with blind loyalty without knowing its name. I discovered their name only after they wisely invented a laminated 'quick menu' that was conveniently placed on my table. For what it's worth, I must say I've brought him many customers along the way who inevitably fell in love with his gravy-licious dishes & SUPERB clear soups. Go ahead & sample everything on the menu! Soups are priced at $1/bowl.


Claypot Beef Rice ($4)

I dare say I can count AT LEAST 5 friends of mine who are fans of the stall's cantonese fare. Although the place is rather small, there's always a long queue of people at lunchtime waiting to da-bao his caifan. He only starts cooking zhi char from approx. 1.30pm, after the lunch frenzy dies down. They close early at about 7pm thereabouts.
