(PARTIALLY SPONSORED) As a Cantonese guy I love my braised meats, and @thebraisedhouse speaks my comfort food language. They don’t just offer the usual braised pork belly, their menu options include shredded braised pork, braised chicken and smoked duck. We went with an order of The Braised House’s Signature Braised Chicken Bowl ($11.50 nett), Minced Pork Bowl ($8.80 nett), and a pair of Kong Bak Paus ($3.50 apiece).⠀

As for the Kong Bak Pau, it’s the classic crossover of decadence meeting simplicity. The soft, slightly chewy mantou buns are a blank slate for the fatty, supremely savoury kong bak (braised pork belly) to paint their ambrosial art on. The felicitously fatty pork belly, just like everything else, was stunningly savoury and so tremendously tender. These paus are incredibly sinful; my arteries were saying no but my heart was saying yes.⠀

For the quality and quantity of food served by the braised house, I reckon their prices are quite a bargain. I could see myself ordering another braised bowl again, that’s for sure. Thanks for organising this, @scalemicroinfluencers & @thebraisedhouse!
