Uncle Claypot at Sorn.

If you have the time, do watch him in action.

See how he passionately moves the claypots, filled with rice, chicken, lap cheong (Chinese sausage) and the sauces and the spices, around the coal fire.

And if you stick around long enough, you'll also catch him firing up a ciggie and lets it hang out from his mouth.

Not too long ago, he went missing for a while.

But he's back again. Returning in full swing, to mesmerise us with his instinctive cooking technique that's uniquely his.

Unlike any other Claypot Chicken Rice, it is not too burned, and the chicken absorbs the sauces and spices for a simply sensational treat.

But this is not the end of your culinary adventure at Sorn, the corner restaurant, across from the Caltex petrol station, in the heart of Paramount Garden, PJ.

There's also the Salt Baked Herbal Duck that's incredibly tender, and remarkably scrumptious.

The salt flavours the duck just enough, and takes away the gamey taste.

The blend of herbs is perfect as it does not overwhelm.

And, it's perfect when shared among 4 to 5 friends.

Now, if the chicken and duck are not enough to fill you and your one2two crew, you can walk around the restaurant and hunt down some tong shui (dessert soup), or, you can walk out to the titbits truck out front that sells a variety of buns with interesting fillings like spicy sardines, butter cream, kaya (egg and coconut-based jam) and more.


It may look like a small vehicle, but I can assure you it's more action-packed than you think.
