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.
