Another revisit made to Bao Fa stall not only for their clay pot but also for their Minced Meat Noodle. My last visit was about 6 years ago and of course, their signage has been revamped.

In the day time, diners can order their BCM (Bak Chor Mee) but from what I remembered, it used to be served in an earthen clay pot. The fiery kick from the chilli is notable and their braised mushroom is fragrant. Besides coupling the noodles with minced meat, liver, meatball, the noodle has slices of fish cakes too.

If you are not into their Signature Mee Sua, you can order their BCM with other noodles too.

While their signature dish is still popular, diners have to wait at least 20 minutes for their order. Just look around and you will see most of the diners in the coffee shop is waiting for their clay pot orders. I would say that their standards remain the same and upon ordering, they will still let us know the waiting time.  |
| Claypot Rice - $12 for 2 Pax |
The chicken is tender and I'm glad that the rice was well cooked and goes very well with their in house chilli that gave a fiery kick to our palates. Another thing to note was that there are not too much burned rice sticking to the walls of the clay pot.

Those residing in the west may have heard about Bao Fa Claypot Rice located in one of the coffeeshop. By words of mouths from my fellow colleague, I went ahead and try it.

With Claypot Rice as their signature dish, Bao Fa is also selling Minced meat noodles as well as some healthy soups. From a glance through the tables in the coffee shop, we noticed that there were alot of them waiting for Claypot Rice since black sauce, chilli and plates were already placed on the table.

Servings come in $6 - $20 for 1 to 5 pax and a wait of 20 minutes is required as they only cook the rice on order basis. However, to avoid waiting for long, one can call in for reservation before making a trip down.

| Close up on Claypot Ingredients |
Only soy and chilli sauce was provided for us to stir them into the hot clay pot. Standard ingredients like sliced Chinese sausages, salted fish was found in the earthen clay pot topped with green coriander leaves as garnishing. And they were quite generous with the braised chicken on the rice. The presentation is decent and the chicken was tender, however, I find that they were lacking of the infused taste from the braised sauce.

Lotus Roots were boiled to softness and easy on the teeth, so as the spare ribs while the soup was decent, not too bland.
