Four Seasons Clay Pot Rice.


I know I already blogged about Hong Kong, but this deserves its own blog. Four Seasons Pot Rice restaurant on Arthur Street in Yau Ma Tei is one of those places that you crave.

I have a few of those places scattered about the globe; L'As Du Falafel pitas in Paris, Doc's Beach House pizza in Bonita Springs, Ajo Als chimichangas and chips and salsa in Scottsdale, Edoardo's goat cheese salad in Grand Cayman, delicate-thin pancakes with maple butter from the Mandarin Oriental in Honolulu, Nutella and banana crepes from the Winter Park Farmers Market. And the oyster omelet and clay pot rice from Four Seasons Clay Pot Rice in Hong Kong.

The oyster omelet is a deliciously crispy duck egg omelet mixed with tiny oysters and green onions that is deep fried and served with a spicy chili sauce. The clay pot rice is just like it sounds… rice and your choice of meat in a clay pot that is baked over a fire and served scorching hot. You then carefully use your chopsticks to lift the lid and douse your rice with a bit of soy sauce before covering it back up to sit for a few minutes. The rice gets crunchy and a little burnt at the bottom. It's DELICIOUS. I mean really, really, really good.

If you are ever in Hong Kong, you must go there. You won't be disappointed.
