Most people are familiar with ENG’s for their wanton mee but in this East Village outlet, you get to enjoy traditional claypot rice too!
While it’s quite a long wait if you don’t call ahead, it’s still pretty worth it. Granted, I haven’t been eating a lot of claypot rice but I think this might be the best claypot rice I’ve had in awhile😬.
Usual suspects of vegetables, lapcheong, salted fish; and the chicken was incredibly tender. I loved the generous addition of salted fish for that burst of flavour and the sauce is added in moderation without being too salty.
The grains had a nice bite and the contrasting crisp texture of socarrat from scraping the pot is pretty addictive.
Prices are quite reasonable for this hearty dish!
