About
Rice cooked in the pot, crisp at the bottom
Lao Guang serves traditional Cantonese claypot rice in Taman Mount Austin. The rice arrives in the pot it was cooked in, with a crisp layer at the bottom (锅巴) that you dig up and mix through.
The kitchen uses Thai fragrant rice, so the grains stay separate rather than soft. Out front, the signboard sums it up in three phrases: 煲煲现做 · 香喷喷 · 热辣辣. Made fresh in every pot, fragrant, piping hot.

They served a wide variety of Cantonese Claypot Rice! Been coming here for claypot rices, specifically the Dong Bo Pork Claypot Rice and the Secret Sauce Seabass Claypot Rice made it to the top of my favourite list! Loved it! Not a taste I can find elsewhere.
Was looking around for a good claypot rice place in Johor and spotted this shop in JB through google map. The owner was friendly and introduced the various version of the claypot rice to us. We took his recommendations. It was really good and tasty without being too salty.
A very good place for a hearty meal! Great environment and food and people! Love their claypot rice. Each grain is flavourful and the charred bottom comes off easily and it’s so tasty! Will come back again for sure !
