For this episode, we headed down to Chuan Seng Claypot Kway Chap to hit a new Kway Chap Eating Record! Kway Chap is a Teochew dish that consists of “Kway”, which is flat rice sheets in a light soy broth, and sides that usually include the traditionally unwanted parts of a pig like intestines and trotters, braised in a rich dark stock. While it may look straightforward, the preparation of the intestines is labour-intensive and they are cleaned by hand to ensure that they are thoroughly disinfected.
Chuan Seng Claypot Kway Chap, located at Jalan Besar, differentiates itself by serving their Kway Chap in claypot bowls that helps to retain heat and flavour. It is family-run, with the original founder present there as the Head Chef with his son-in-law managing the restaurant.
The Chef masterfully plated almost their entire menu of sides onto the giant plate, forming a Giant Braised Intestines Platter. There were at least 3 different types of intestines, trotter, knuckle, eggs and actual wild boar meat, all doused in the rich and herbal braising liquid. I then proceeded to consume 12 bowls of Kway together with the Braised Intestines Platter. The Kway were delicious, with the thin strips of rice noodles giving a very slight bite and paired with a fragrant and flavourful soy broth. They were good enough to be eaten on their own. This restaurant offers a chilli sauce with a strong vinegar kick that perfectly matches the fatty and chewy pig’s innards. The pig’s parts were generally tender and while some were necessarily chewy, they were pleasantly so.
It was a fun challenge for me as this Kway Chup was very well done. Do not be perturbed by the initial appearance, the “icky” factor and the fact that you probably will not know which exact part of the pig you are eating once you dig in for this dish. Try each side, preferably with chilli sauce and with copious amounts of Kway, and you will be left extremely satisfied. Do check out this family-owned Kway Chap restaurant with their unique claypot concept and excellent food!
