Famous Hing Kee Claypot Rice in Hong Kong

Hing Kee Claypot Rice, also known as “Bo Jai Fan” (煲仔飯) in Cantonese, is a beloved local dish that warms hearts. Bo Jai Fan translates to “rice in a small claypot.” Hing Kee is a renowned restaurant with six branches around Temple Street in Hong Kong. They understand that waiting in long queues isn’t ideal, so they offer a street-vibe dining experience. Hing Kee insists on using charcoal fire for that authentic smoky aroma. Their menu boasts over 70 options, priced between $50 and $100. We tried the Claypot Rice with Eel. The intense smoky aroma makes this dish extra comforting. A hit among foreigners, don’t forget to mix it with dark soy sauce on the table. Dig deep for the crispy layer of rice at the bottom—it’s a sign of quality claypot rice! Bonus Dish: Deep-Fried Oyster Omelette (煎蠔餅). Hing Kee’s oyster omelette is crusty and crunchy on the outside, soft and tender inside. The oysters add sweetness, and dipping it in fish sauce bursts with flavors. Enjoy the warmth and flavors of Hing Kee Claypot Rice! #foodies #hongkongtravelguide
