Gunkee Claypot in Singapore's Chinatown

Stir-Fried Pork with Chili

If my information is correct, this is a small chain from Nanyang City in China's Henan province, although their outlet here in Singapore (277 South Bridge Road, 6320-3235) doesn't seem to be talking up its roots very much. Well, apparently claypot cooking is the way to do things up there, so that's why it is in its name. And that stir-fried pork above is one of their top manu recommendations, although oddly it is not served in a clay pot.

Anyway, the pork was suitable for my price and portion requirements, and I was quite happy with it. Even if the meat was a little dry, it was thin and with just the right amount of borderline excessive grease and salt to help shovel down a bowl of rice. The savory black beans carried a lot of it, while the chili was not spicy at all. I was happy to eat it along with some of the chuanr that I got on the side. I don't mind going back.
