Round 2 - gotta get some more bozaifan. 4 treasure - some good fatty meats soaking into that clay pot rice. Rice perfectly cooked, edging undercooked so the oils can get into the rice. Good amount of protein as well. Would get again. pork ribs and salted fish - rice same as above. fats from pork ribs is great. salted fish adds another level of funky savoriness. Would get again. read more

I have a HUGE fan of Good Taste 知味煲仔飯's rice casseroles! I've been to all 3 of their locations; this location at Peachtree Plaza is the smallest one. I think their rice casseroles so far are they best in the city :) It was quite busy on a Thursday night when we went. My family ordered 3 rice casseroles to share: - 腊味鳗鱼饭 Preserved Meat & BBQ Eel On Rice - 章鱼肉饼饭 Octopus & Minced Pork On Rice - 榄菜牛肉饭 Pickled Kale & Beef On Rice All rice casseroles come with a soup (the soup at this location was kind of watered down, my dad was complaining lol.) and a small plate of veggies. The preserved meat one always has the best crispy rice at the end; the other ones not so much. Out of the 3, the octopus was surprisingly my new favourite! Can't wait to come again when craving hits! read more

Decent claypot rice place with a variety of options. It's relatively affordable and a well rounded meal as their rice comes with a double boiled soup and a small plate of veggies. I found the bottom of the rice to be quite oily and did not crust up enough. The spareribs are cut up into small pieces so be wary of bone shards. The cured meats are pretty good quality and the beef brisket is cooked perfectly. read more

I haven't had a casserole rice in a while and was delighted to find this gem of a place. They make each dish to order, so there is a 15 min wait after you place an order but it is worth it! I had the four treasure casserole rice and the pork ribs/braised beef casserole rice. Both were delicious and I loved the crispy rice that you have to scrap from the edges of the bowl. Each casserole comes with four strands of veggies and a little bowl of soup also. It is a busy place as there is always someone coming in but they are very efficient and turn over tables quickly to accommodate. Tip: they only take cash! Protip: call ahead with your order so that it is ready for when you get there! Extra protip: you can actually request to have the claypot as part of take out. That way you can enjoy the crispy bits of rice in the comforts of your own home. You pay a deposit on it and return it the next time you are there! read more

This place is busy and has not much decoration. The server has good memory and won't mess up the waiting order. Since the place has long cook soup and hot pot rice, all these dish takes 15-20mins to wait. They are so efficient that even I have not get my table, they place my order! Hence it only take few minutes to get the soup and rice out after I get the table. All dish has good amount of ingredients and NO MSG. Taste so good . Price is low for those dish. Hot pot rice is $12.99 and stew soup is $6.99. I believe if I go to other restaurants, these dish cost double. I order chicken stew soup and duck stew soup. They are like mom make stew! The rice noodle with shrimp can taste it is freshly cook. Yum. Hot pot rice with Chinese sausage and Japanese eel is perfectly cook with fry rice and not burn at the bottom. This hot pot rice also goes with stew pear and pork soup and veggies. Very homey food and comfy food for me. I minus 1 star is due to the no Reno. If you just want good food, this is a go to place. read more

A little out of the way for me but when my car needs scheduled servicing which is in this area, this is my go to clay pot rice place. It's been a year since my last servicing/visit and the place remains the same, thank goodness! On a cold winter's day, their claypot rice gives you a warm summery vibe. Ordered the preserved meat & duck claypot & chicken salted fish claypot rice Free hot pear soup accompanies the claypot. Something about hot soup that soothes your inner soul during cold winter days Preserved duck was a little overcooked. Rest of preserved meat/sausage done well. Oil from the meats enhanced the flavor of the rice. Salted fish flavor paired well with the bland chicken pieces (mostly dark meat). Rice developed a nice crunchy crust in both clay pots. Very satisfying dishes read more

Our absolute favorite restaurant in Markham Canada! The clay pot rice is an absolute MUST!!! You get this diluted soup and service which both isn't very good but the rest is amazing that still deserve my 4 shiny stars! I don't even have to mention much of the items but we got anchovies with spare ribs clay pot rice, their 4 treasure which is eel, Chinese sausage lop churn, Chinese meat lop yuk and BBQ pork and very flavorful and the last one is smooth chicken with eel. The best part is ALWAYS the crispy rice that sticks to the pot. DO NOT THROW THAT OUT!!!!! Put your arm muscles to work and scrap every bit of that deliciousness out of the pot. Just look at my last picture. I would eat the pot if my stomach can possibly digest it! Don't forget their sweet soy sauce. Pour a generous amount, mix mix mix and your tummy will thank you!!! read more

Came on a Wednesday night, and we waited about 30 mins for a table. Extremely packed and only about 10 tables in the restaurant. They need to give some numbers out for the waitlist instead of using their memory to remember who came first. At least while we were waiting, they gave us the menu and we got to preorder our food and when we sat down, our food came not too long after. The menu is extensive and has lots of different clay pot options. We ordered #5 (Four Treasures: $12.99), #74 (Chicken Feet Ribs: $12.99), and #48 (Peanut Rice Noodle Roll: $5.80). Each person gets a complimentary soup and small plate of Chinese broccoli with their dish. I really enjoyed the Four Treasures one. Super filling and flavourful. The Chicken Feet one was ok, and just to note, the ribs aren't the usual Chinese spareribs you'd get at dim sum. Overall, this place is super affordable and the dishes are good. It can get super packed and long line ups. I would come again when it's quieter and try out some other dishes. read more

Great place for your classic clay pot rice. Comes with a side of veggies and soup. This is the ultimate comfort food. We came about an hour before close and customers were still continuously coming in. Small restaurant with only a few tables. Service is non existent but that's not unexpected for a place like this. Food comes out pretty quick. read more

Cash only No frills old school Chinese restaurant that serves only claypot rice and rice rolls. Each claypot rice comes with small dish of boiled Shanghai bak choi and soup of the day. The veggie and soup comes without salt and you can add salt to your taste. The table has peanut sauce (so good), soy sauce (that has so much umami and slightly sweet that it pretty much goes with anything), hot sauce, and table salt. We ordered 3 claypot rices which are the salted fish meat patty, baby shrimp with lap churn and egg, and pork ribs, scallops and shrimp plus an egg. The ribs, scallops and shrimp were my favorite because of the flavor of all the protein seep into the rice and enhanced the flavor of the rice as it cooks. However, they were all great and you couldn't go wrong with any. We also ordered the rice roll with diced water chestnut, carrots, celery, mushroom. This is one of those old school flavor that not many people like but we loved. Overall a great meal if you crave claypot rice. Service is good - no frills. read more

We ordered through Uber eats and the value was still decent. The rice averages $15 per pot and you can add $3 for extra meat. There was so much meat that we couldn't finish and had leftovers. The rice was nice and hot. Comes in an aluminum foil container. The only reason why I couldn't give the full 5 stars was there wasn't enough of the rice crust at the bottom. Not sure if it's because it's Uber and they had to rush the cooking. Each meal comes with a small container of veg and also a soup or drink. We also ordered the rice rolls and that was very tasty! It was smooth and delicious. read more

Came here for dinner with family. It was suggested by my foodie niece. I agree with most of her Asian recommendations, with the exception of deserts. She knows nothing about deserts! There were 5 of us, and we all order a different claypots. Without getting too long winded, as I tend to do, is that overall, the food is good. The value is good. Below is what was ordered: - Corn & pork rice rolls (chung-fun) 5/5 - Beef rice rolls (chung-fun) 5/5 - Chicken & Scallops claypot 4/5 - Chicken & Mushroom claypot 3/5 - Preserved Meats claypot 4/5 They have 3 locations, this is the original and is located in New Kennedy Square mall. The place is small, maybe 10 tables, and is staffed with older Chinese ladies with limited English. I'm "Jook-sing" (Canadian-Chinese, can barely speak Cantonse). Luckily, my niece could speak and was able to order for us. The funny thing is the menu has English & Chinese descriptions. The interior is not much to look at. It's not trendy and has a working class caffiteria food counter vibe. So would I come back? Yes. If you feel nostalgic for traditional Hong Kongish street fare, this should check all the boxes.... my 2 cents. PS. It's cash only, no debit or credit cards. read more

The casserole is good and old school traditional. But honestly the service is so bad and the attitude they give is so terrible that it lost 3 star I can take the dirty place that hasn't been cleaned in over a decade. But to be outright rude to people makes me want to avoid this place at all cost. It is not worth it. Especially since rice casserole is not exactly a dish that is rare to find in Markham. The amount of dodo you take is not worth it especially since it's not cheap either. I would give it 1 star if the food wasn't good. But overall you have to decide what your priorities are when going out for food. If you care about food above all else than come here if you care about both food and service. That's going to be a stretch read more

I suddenly want to eat casserole rice, that's why I searched it for. This was the first time I tried here. We ordered takeout. We saw people who were eating inside, every pot seemed really delicious, but not sure what they actually had ordered, we asked the waitress which ones were the popular ones, my husband had a Four Treasures Rice, including preserved meat, preserved duck, bbq eel & bbq pork. I ordered Octopus & Chicken on Rice. It took about 15 mins to be got ready. We went out for a walk, checking out other places. Then came back for our order. We went to a park close by, and enjoying our lunch. The casserole rice was in a aluminium foil tray. It was really keeping it hot. We had a separate small bowl of vegetables and soya sauce to pour on top of the rice. It was really traditional Chinese meal. There was also a small bowl of soup, but no taste of it. Thinking of it was free, no complaints. We just skipped it. Not too bad and not too good. We can come again, but no soup, thanks! read more

Great hole in the wall for claypot rice. Portions are huge and food is delicious, comes with free soup and side of veggies. They actually cook the rice in the claypot for a bit so you get a layer of crispy rice at the bottom, this adds great texture to the dish. My pork ribs with salted fish and raw egg on rice was delicious! The pork ribs were well marinated and the pop of salt from the salted fish and creaminess from the raw egg meshed so well together. Every bite made me want to take another. The added texture of the crispy rice was really great and definitely added to the dish as well. The rice noodle roll was amazing, probably the smoothest in the city and best rice noodle rolls I ever had. I tried the rice noodle rolls at their other locations and none were as good as this location, so if you're visiting this particular location, definitely get an order of rice noodle rolls. The service is typical for any hole in the wall Chinese restaurant, quick and efficient but don't expect anything over the top. Definitely my favourite place for claypot rice in the city! read more

Rice was delicious and perfect! Exactly like the delightful crunchy side edges of the rice I expected! They executed it perfectly! Portions were great. Our server was so nice! We only had USD and she allowed for us to do the conversion and didn't charge us for any conversion rate.

Came here for a quick lunch, they had a lot of variety for casserole rice bowls and rice rolls. The prices were very affordable as well. The casserole we got was good but the flavours were a bit bland. The rice was crispy at the bottom and it was topped with a good portion of fish and sausage, however the dish overall lacked flavour. The house special rice roll was amazing. Overall I would recommend this place! read more

Was recommended this place by a friend and finally got the chance to try it! Overall, found my experience really good. The food is pretty cheap for what you get, is delicious, and the portion sizes are great! One stone pot rice is about $12-13 and comes with two toppings (I went with the BBQ eel and minced pork). Additionally, you'll also get a soup and some veggies. The food tasted delicious and was a good amount of salty. We also tried the cheng fun and I thought they made it pretty well. One downside however is that it is a cash only location and they don't accept any cards. Overall, based on the food, the portion, and the price, it's definitely worth it for what you're getting! I'd definitely recommend. read more

Good Taste Ratings: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 - What a great find, so kudos to myself. I love HK style claypot rice, and I was so excited to try it. I was worried about the quality and taste at first, because it was so cheap, but it was amazing. We devoured it, and was thinking of returning again while we were leaving the restaurant, HAHA. Please read the descriptions on the two claypot rice we got for dinner that evening. - Chicken & Octopus [GET]: Holy! The chicken thighs meat was so tender and soft, literally melts in your mouth. I think they use baking soda to marinate the chicken for that wonderful texture. The chicken is beautifully seasoned and marinated, comes with lovely flavors, not too salty or bland. Octopus was good too, not as big as I thought. It's like dried octopus actually. The rice was delicious, but I wished it was just more golden and crunchy like my boyfriend's, I think they should cook mine just a tad bit longer, but I don't mind it at all. We appreciate the Chinese broccoli on the side too and my favorite Coke Zero. - BBQ Eel & Chicken [GET]: My boyfriend got this dish, and the chicken and rice are just as good as mine. Chicken was tender and nicely cooked. The rice is slightly better than mine, because it has more of a nice golden crunch on the bottom. It's crispy and love the toasty smell, but still fluffy in the middle. Eel was fresh and nicely cooked too, pretty good size for the prize. He also added an egg to it, so would recommend if you like eggs. Ambiance: 4/5 - A classic mom and pop shop feel with laminated menus and pencil and paper for you to write down what you want to order. They got brown leather booths with a couple of tables and chairs in the middle of the restaurant, so seating wouldn't be an issue. It definitely got a hole-in-the-wall vibe, needs renovations, but the food makes up for it. It was a lot quiet than expected, so great place for a casual meal. Price: 5/5 - The prices here are unbelievable, unbeatable, and affordable. The bbq eel and chicken claypot was $12.99 and my chicken and octopus claypot was $11.99 before tax. It comes with a side of Chinese broccoli and your choice of a soft drink or daily soup. It's super filling and yummy, 100% worth it. It's even better when I convert it to USD too. They only take cash. Service: 4/5 - Classic Asian restaurant customer service with old Asian ladies, but it was better than I expected. I actually ordered the wrong thing, and asked if we could change it, and the lady was kind enough and let the chef know immediately. Although they won't come to check in on you, but we had everything we needed as two satisfied customers. It was good. BLUF: I LOVE this place; it's delicious, comforting, and authentic! The aroma, the texture, the taste were all on point, everything was just perfect. Food is served fresh and piping hot, so definitely come try it out when you can. I highly recommend getting a claypot rice with chicken. I will definitely return when I return to Toronto again! I crave it so badly already. read more

Be sure to phone in early and order ahead before you get there! It takes half an hour for them to cook each pot of rice, because cooking it fresh takes time. Before you go there, call ahead and make an order. The portions here are huge, with free veggies and a soup. The rice is very tasty, with a crispy taste, especially for the rice at the bottom. The meat is very well marinated. The food is served piping hot and fresh. Overall, a good place to go for clay pot rice read more

Every time we make an order from this shop, there is a lot of attitude. They offer little to no service and even with no customers, they could not care less if you are there or not. During my wait, 2 customers had get their orders exchanged as they received the wrong orders (maybe they should label them?!?). What really irked me was they subsequently gave the returned meals to others that happened to order the same dish... these are Covid times, please respect the customers. Back to my order... I have requested each time for them to label each rice as we do not want to open each one then to assign accordingly (a simple sharply or piece of paper with the corresponding rice dish is it that hard??. This time I specifically asked them 4 separate times and low and behold... same crappy service. UNLABELLED rice dishes that we all had to play, let's open and exam what this is... This will be my last time here and do NOT recommend this establishment as there are many others with much better service in the area with better service and respect for their customers read more

Good Taste Casserole is what it is. Situated in a busy Chinese plaza, it is a top contender as a place to eat at. I've been here a couple times now and the consistency is definitely noticable across all boards. It gets busy during dinner time so there may be a wait at times but it's nothing unreasonable. They have a simple menu and I always get the steamed spare ribs and chicken rice. To begin, every order comes with Chinese soup. As a note, the soup is very light and natural in flavor. There doesn't seem to be any msg or salt and you can always add your own. I think it's a great beginning to balance the flavorful rice. The rice is cooked in a way so that it's fluffy in the middle but still a bit crisp on the edges. Overall, the dish is aromatic and delicious especially when you add in the soysauce to enhance the flavors. They also serve each order with a side of vegetables! I find that a lot of Chinese restaurants don't do this so it's pleasant to see them do it. Moreover, it complements the steamed meats. The vegetables change from time to time but they are always cooked well with a hint of flavor. I never leave this place hungry and I'd reccomend it for people of all ages. read more

Clay pot rice | Rice rolls | Soup | Uber Eats | Rice roll Food is great here, all clay pot rice comes with veggies and soup. May take a while to come out since it takes time to cook it. Ranging around $10. This place would have gotten 4 star for me if it wasn't for the continuous horrible, rude and unprofessional service from one lady (wears glasses). Every single time I come, she is blunt and rude to the customers. I have learned to accept it ... The other two ladies are lovely though. But overall, great food. read more

Coming here, you should not expect superb service, but expect delicious clay pot rices. I always love coming to this spot when I'm craving for comfort food, and without making a dent in my wallet. They are always busy, especially during lunch time, so it's best to try coming before those times to ensure you get a seat. Their menu has many different clay pot rice options, as well as soup, and rice noodle rolls. Once you place your order, you will get a warm bowl of soup and vegetables on the side. Typically the orders take 15 minutes which is the usual for clay pot rice. The persons are great, and I could never finish one myself. If you're ever looking for cheap and delicious food, this is your spot. read more

Solid fan zhew on the edge of the bowl. Basically the entire bowl is crusted with the hard rice. We got the lap cheong and mushroom chicken clay pot rice. Both where really good. The rice especially was fluffy and loose. read more

This is my favorite place to get hot pot rice! It is so good! I always order the preserved meat and chicken. Although I don't eat too much of the preserved meat, it adds so much extra flavor to the rice! I tried the chicken and mushroom before and it was a little bland, so I definitely recommend getting preserved meat in your order! My partner always gets preserved meat and short ribs, and he loves it too. He can be picky about HK food, but he also loves this place and raves about it. I'm not a big fan of their soup so I usually ask for coke instead (you get a choice between pop and soup). Also, for takeout they give it to you in a tin bowl so the rice stays hot and crispy for your ride home! Open it up even a few hours later and it's still hot and fresh! read more

Location/Service This place is in the New Mongkok Plaza (sorry don't know the proper English name), on the far end, right beside Blue Ocean Cafe. The sign is a little hard to spot, so might be a little tricky. Plenty of parking is available, just be aware it's a little crazy at times. The restaurant is small, prob fit around 15-20 people at a time. There was a little waiting time, but usually not too long. Staff were aunties, which to my surprise were nicer than I thought, pretty funny at times when you speak in their language. Food This place is famous for the clay pot casserole rice. Almost over half the menu items were different kinds of it. I chose the beef with raw egg. The raw egg was perfect as it will slowly cook and infuse with the rice since it's super hot. Quantity was abundant, esp on the rice portion. The beef was flavourful and chewy. I also like how they came with a side of veggie and soup, really giving that hearty family meal - perfect for a rainy or cold day. read more

Updated review for pandemic takeout. Look at the foil packaging! This is as good as it gets for their rice dishes. Everything was delicious!

Very good comfort/affordable food when your craving for that homemade feel without cooking at home. I opted for take out and have been hesitant for awhile thinking I will miss out on the clay pot experience from dine in. But it did not disappoint! The bottom has that crunchy authentic clay pot feel because they cook it in the aluminum foil container. Amazing price, comes with soup and veggies (a bit too little) and if you have a big appetite, should get extra meat with your rice. There are so many topping options, will be back to try out more for sure! read more

The curry chicken we had yesterday was on the salty side but the preserved sausages was spot on. Also, the 'banana rice' was so good to scrape off the inside of the clay pot. I must note that we had gotten there before 6 pm on a Tuesday and it was almost half full at that point. read more

Contrary to what the name suggests, this was far from good taste -- though it wasn't awful either. This is really as average as they come with dishes that aren't very memorable in terms of flavor or presentation. The portion sizes were decent with barebones service and a small restaurant. With other great choices in the greater Toronto area, you're better off spending your time and money elsewhere. read more

I came because I was promised Chinese comfort food. Yup. Got it! Location: Kennedy and 7 in a huge area with lots of restaurants and other stores. Parking: Huge ass parking lot. Where this place is there's also a lot of businesses that aren't open in the evening so you can generally find parking easy! Decor: Hole in the wall would be the best way to describe it. It's tiny. There are booths and tables in the middle Food: Bowls of rice heated on the bottom so you get a crispy layer. Topped with meat and veg. You also get a small side vegetable and either a soup or a pop. Pretty inexpensive. Clients: It's really busy but tables turn fast! There's also a lot of people taking out food. I'll come back again. I liked this place! read more

Ambience: much like the portrayal of eateries in HK movies in alleys where grandmoms and locals visit. Homey. Food: great and filling (see pictures) Service: will speak Mandarin only. when communicated to in English, she will only reply in Mandarin but somehow it all works. Price: great. Most items are less than $10.00. We ordered two rice bowls, that comes with greens and soup, plus two rice rolls (shrimp and the other one must be vegetarian), all to a total of $29.50 read more

Food is closer to 3.5 stars. This is a solid homey claypot rice spot. We've ordered both takeout and delivery multiple times from here. Our go to order is their mixed preserved meat claypot rice and their minced pork with salted egg claypot rice. We've also tried a few others like the eel and the chicken as well and both are good. Such comfort food! Love that it also comes with a side veggie and a side soup or drink. Even for takeout they're able to achieve that crispy rice bottom! We agree with the comments on the rude service when we order takeout and pick up from the restaurant, so we tend to order delivery instead to avoid the unnecessary attitude. Food is good though! read more

Finally we got to try this place after awhile. Got the Four Treasures - comes with Lap Cheong, BBQ eel, BBQ Pork, and preserved duck. The best part is when you get those slightly crispy bits of rice at the bottom, mixed well with some soy sauce, it permeated right through the rice, TASTY My favorite toppings so far is the unagi, never had it before in this claypot style. But I won't get the preserved duck next, I feel there's not much meat in that. It cames with soup and vegetables. The soup is pretty bland - not a fan of it honestly, but this balanced out with the flavorful rice. Waited around 15 mins for the food to come. Follow @astravel_eats for more recs read more

We haven't been back here for a while and wanted to come back here. We got here before the lunch hour rush. The restaurant is cozy, with very minimal decorations. The seats are primarily brown leather booths, with only a couple of tables having chairs. The drink cooler is located at the back by the supply closet. The washroom was inside the supply closet. It was surprisingly large and clean. A poster of a beautiful waterfall hangs by the back as well. We ordered #34, which is salted fish and minced pork on rice. Daughter liked it a lot and thought it was flavorful and perfectly salted. She thought it was better than the ones we get back in the US. We also ordered #21, which is preserved pork rib and preserved fish on rice. We don't know what type of preserved fish it is. Hubs thought it has that seafood taste and it had plenty of umami. The pork rib turned out to be the rib that's underneath the pork belly, which means that it's leaner pork belly meat. He would probably order the regular pork belly in the future, to save his teeth. Overall, he liked it and thought the rice was flavorful and great. We ordered raw eggs for both rice dishes and they were magnificent. The rice dishes came with a side of vegetable and a choice of soup or Coke/Canada Dry. We ordered soda. After seeing the bowl the soup was in, I wish we ordered a soup. It felt like we missed something there. Lastly, we ordered #52, which is minced pork rice noodle roll. Daughter liked it a lot and thought it was nice and doughy. Perfect texture and quality. She was craving for rice noodle roll and this one satisfied it. This place looks like a hole in the wall but the food made up for it. We loved this place. Service was fantastic. The person who brought our rice orders out apologized profusely for dropping an egg shell into it. We wouldn't have known about it but they told us anyway. So, so, so glad we came back here. Will definitely return when we come back to Canada! read more

Casserole rice is as old school as it will get. When you dine at Good Taste Casserole Rice, it's going to be a pretty old school experience. Expect a no frills type of experience... expect to sit in tight quarters... expect the owner to be nice (not so much with one of the server). The menu here offers very little by the way of breadth but is heavy in the depth department. What do I mean? You only have two main choices: steam rice rolls or casserole rice, but an array of toppings you can combine in either. The steam rice roll are solid. I wouldn't say they are exceptional but solid. All I've had was shrimp and bbq pork ones...the fillings are run of the mill. The casserole rice again is not anywhere near the best I've had but despite the sea of Chinese restaurants in Toronto there is really not many that will and can make a mean casserole rice. The strength of their rice is the crunchy layer of rice at the bottom. I think they managed to consistently deliver there. The sweet soya sauce was on point. The preserved meats and sausage were generally good quality and that would be my number one choice of topping. On occasion we will get the meat patty with fried squid just to mix it up. The dried squid usually did not have a strong enough taste which is disappointing; the good ones will have the flavour transfer to the meat and the rice. The pork patty was likely made with store bought ground pork which doesn't give it the bite that it should have. The good news is every order of casserole rice comes with a very small serving of yu choy. It also comes with a complimentary soup. The soup is almost always apple and pork. Taste is pretty bland most of the time but I guess the positive is there is for sure no msg. They recommend you to add your own salt for taste but it's not the same as having flavours transfer to the soup via the ingredients. Overall a 3.5 out of 5. If there were many better casserole rice places their score would probably be downgraded. read more

My favourite place for hot pot rice. It's good even as takeout because they out it in a foil container which retains the heat. Usually it comes with vegetables and a choice of soup or a can of coke. Personally I am not a huge fan of the soup so we always get coke. read more
