Our take on Sembawang Traditional Claypot Rice is that while the claypot rice itself receives mixed reviews for its portion size and overall flavour, there are standout dishes that warrant a visit.
The Salted Egg Bittergourd is frequently highlighted as a unique and exceptional item, with some reviewers claiming it's the best dish on the menu.
The Chaota Beehoon and San Lou Bee Hoon also come recommended for their fragrance and taste.
We note that the claypot rice can have a nice charred bottom, but the chicken portion might be small.
Expect a wait of up to 25 minutes for food, even during non-peak hours, and be aware that service can be inconsistent, with some staff described as impolite, especially towards closing time.
Parking can be limited, but basement options are available nearby.
We'd recommend this spot for those seeking specific, unique dishes like the Salted Egg Bittergourd, rather than solely for a destination claypot rice experience.
Best for an occasional visit when in the area, but not worth a significant detour.

Nothing too special. I’ll probably come back once in a while when I’m craving claypot rice, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. You order by writing on paper and paying at the counter. Most of th…
honestly nothing wow. The portion of chicken was really little , like less than 8 small pieces only, barely enough to share. Rice itself was cooked okay, had that nice slightly charred bottom edge, bu…
Other than the claypot rice, another must order over here is definitely their chaota beehoon! It looks deceptively simple but was super fragrant! Pls go try it out 😌
Traditional Claypot Rice and the San Lou Bee Hoon are great, usually also order the salted egg yolk pork ribs, salted fish beancurd and seasonal beans. Ate here for many years and the food has been go…
