🥛 Clay Pot Cafe : Boston’s Hidden Gem for Ginger Milk Pudding Tucked in Allston, this spot serves Cantonese classics, surprisingly Sichuan dishes, and one dessert that’s worth the trip alone. Here’s the lowdown: 🌟 The Unquestionable Winner Ginger Milk Pudding ($5): 🥇 10/10, hands down. It takes a few minutes to set, but trust the wait. Silky, warm, and so authentic—it’s like a bite of Shunde in Boston. The texture’s tender, the ginger flavor bold (but never harsh), with just enough sweetness to balance it. Perfect for cold days, and the ideal end to a meal. We polished it off in 2 minutes flat—could’ve easily ordered seconds. 🍲 The Savory Dishes Beef Brisket with Tofu Skin Hot Pot ($19): 🥩 7/10. Flavor’s solid—salty, savory, with melt-in-your-mouth beef (though some pieces felt like leaner cuts, not just brisket). The tofu skin is good but sparse. Only letdown? The portion’s tiny—you’ll probably want more. Three Preserved Meats Clay Pot Rice ($15.75): 🍚 6/10. Think Chinese sausage, preserved pork belly, and preserved duck over rice. The serving’s small (guys, you’ll likely need extras). The pork belly is nicely fatty (classic!), but here’s the kicker: no crispy rice crust. For a clay pot rice, that’s a miss—all that oil, no crunch. Flavor’s fine, but Chinatown’s version edges it out. 📍 Final Thought Clay Pot Cafe’s menu is a fun mix—Cantonese staples and Sichuan dishes? Unexpected, but the ginger milk pudding is the real reason to go. Skip the clay pot rice unless you’re craving it, but don’t leave without that pudding. 70 Brighton Ave, Allston, MA 02134 #BostonEats #AllstonFood #GingerMilkPudding
