Bring You Family For Homely Local Cuisine At AOne Claypot House

Hi Huneybees,

After a month of vegetarian diet,, I have taken a lighter and healthier approach when it comes to food. That is also why I fell in love with the dishes served in AOne Claypot House when I was invited for a food tasting session there.

Whilst watching a healthy, balanced menu, the flavour of the dishes are not compromised. It brings me back to those happy days (when studying for exams was all I stressed about), whole family sitting around the dining table, enjoying my mum's cooking.

All because at AOne, they believe in creating a casual, comfortable atmosphere for everyone to share and enjoy family-style comfort food, encompassing all the local flavours of Singapore, that we all grew up loving and eating.

Dishes prepared in claypot is not easy to find and it is definitely a test of the chef's skills, but they have chose to use the claypot as they believe that food should be consume at the right temperature.
Together with fresh ingredients, the claypot allows good airflow, good heat insulation, thus locking all the moisture and nutrients in while cooking, resulting in tender and juicy meats whilst using less oil.

Before I get started introducing you to the mouth watering dishes, you definitely have to order yourself a pot of their caffeine free and no added sugar - Assorted Fruit and Flower Tea. Not only is it infused with floral fragrance, you can also find Chinese Hawthorn 山楂 inside.

I love having Chinese Hawthorn tea as it has a slight sourish touch, that is appetizing and very good for digestion as well. It can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and (LADIES!!!) it is also beneficial for those who want to get that hourglass figure. Hehehe...

Now that I have whetted your appetite, it's time to get to the main dishes! Amongst all those that we have tried that day, I love the Premium Dried Scallop Porridge (干贝艇仔粥), that comes served full of fresh and sweet scallops, fish and cuttlefish infused into the porridge cooked with pearl white rice. 

This is the type of porridge that is cooked to a gooey thick texture, and not matter how long you stir or leave it cold, it does not turn watery. With the claypot, my porridge remained warm throughout the whole session, letting us enjoy this porridge slowly with every bite, taking in the "sea". :)

And for scallop lovers like me, be sure to try the Premium Claypot (一品锅) and Steamed Scallop with Minced Garlic & Vermicelli (蒜蓉粉丝蒸带子). 

The Premium Claypot with its prestigious name, encompasses all sorts of seafood - Abalone, Mushroom, Scallop, Sliced Fish, Prawn and Fish Maw. I can simply have this and a bowl of plain white rice to go with!

For a light meal, you can have the Steamed Scallop with Minced Garlic & Vermicelli. The seasoning is just right and with the right pairing of the garlic and seafood, the vermicelli is definitely my go to comfort food now. I always have this when I go to AOne. :X

Of course, if you have more people joining you, you can try out these other delicious dishes as well.

Do You Have #RoadSense?

Hi Huneybees,

As the country develops and move forward, I see more and more cars on the road. But riding as a passenger in my hubby's car has started to get scary as drivers start to get a little too aggressive with stress building up and seems like technology has slowly crept in and get in the way of drivers.

That is also why Singapore's Traffic Police held a multi-disciplinary dialogue session recently as part of their Use Your RoadSense movement. Part of the larger Safer Roads Singapore action plan, the Use Your RoadSense movement looks to spark self-reflection among all road users, raise empathy and respect for each other on the roads, in turn leading to the development of a new road culture, eventually reducing road accidents when our roads are safer and better for all.

This movement is a fresh approach to educate and engage users on road safety in Singapore, to facilitate understanding between the diverse road user groups – pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Also sparking this active engagement and co-creation approach to crafting road safety initiatives between the Traffic Police and the public. 

Through this movement, Traffic Police hopes to hold many conversations with the various road user groups to understand their road safety concerns and hear their ideas on how a culture of safer road use can be cultivated in Singapore.

The first of these many conversations was the dialogue session held on 7th April 2015 with Traffic Police gathering a panel of field experts to look at how direct and indirect factors such as road planning, road technology, socio-culture and human psychology affect road attitudes and driver traits, giving a direction to our "RoadSense".

“Traffic Police needs to take a larger, holistic view of our traffic road policing, in view of the changing road environment today. Users are now more diverse and come from different backgrounds and grew up in different times. Road and car technologies are also affecting our attitudes on the roads. We are always connected and are faced with more distractions.

We may have one of the safest road networks in the region but we can do more to cultivate good road behaviour and discipline. Road safety is not just about enforcements. We need to build a culture of self-discipline, care and empathy on our roads. We hope this movement provides the foundation for it. As we adopt a multi-perspective approach to road safety, we call upon all individuals, organisations and companies to work together on this shared initiative to develop a new road culture for Singapore." 

--- Assistant Commissioner Sam Tee, Commander Traffic Police.

Let's be observe more road safety and roadsense!

Let Singapore be a great place to drive in! 

Drive safely! :)
