My friend, Boh Tong recommended JJ Claypot Rice on my blog when I reminisce about comfort food when I was growing up in Commonwealth Drive. Today, I went looking for Blk 744 Bedok Reservoir Road. When I finally located the place with the help of Google Map, it was actually right at Bedok Reservoir Park. I used to go to the park during the slope season to learn to fly slope gliders. Today, flying model planes is not allowed. There is a sign by Mindef. It is so sad as it is the only place in Singapore that you can do slope soaring. Now you will have to go to Johore to fly.
We arrived early and ordered the claypot rice with blanched kailan in oyster sauce. The rice were cooked from scratch. Actually, taste quite good. The rice at the bottom of the claypot is only slightly charred and not burnt like some other stalls. The kailan tasted good. However, I find it too hard. So my next visit, I will request for slightly longer blanching to soften the vegetable.
Since the food is quite good, I promised to return with my boys. Although there is a sign self service, the old J (I did not get his name) brought the food to us. He is a very nice gentleman. I also let him know BT recommended that I come. He is very happy to hear this.

Thank you for visiting JJ's Claypot Rice BL. His name is Jeffrey and is my ex-colleague. Jeff is a soft spoken and nice man.
I hope to bump into you the next time.
Jeffrey is a very nice man indeed. I like the food so much that I promised to bring my boys to eat the next time I go. Thanks for the recommendation.
BL you may tell Jeffrey how you want your veggie and the claypot rice to be cooked and I am sure he will obliged. Jeff is an easy going man.
You are right, BT. Jeff did tell me he will customise my order in future. He is a good guy and still use certainly when I requested for extra service.
