Had been passing by a stall name Rhapsody in Braise for quite a while whenever we find ourselves at Tekka Market — these folks are located in the middle row within the area where most would be able to find the stalls serving up local Chinese fare within the food centre; they are also situated just right beside the outlet of Generation Coffee there, which makes them a spot that is fairly easy to locate when at the food centre. On first look, Rhapsody In Braise does seem to be a spot that looks just like another stall serving up Hong Kong-style roasted meats; they serve up various meat offerings which includes rare-to-find items such as that of their Coffee Pork Ribs ala-carte, though patrons are also able to pair up their preferred choice of meats with either Rice or Noodles which are listed in the All-time Favourites and Signature Noodles section of the menu. Those whom are looking to opt for something to add-on to their order can also opt for additional portions of meat, braised egg and braised tofu as well.
We found ourselves going for the Honey Char Siew Rice during our visit to Rhapsody in Braise. It was a pity that they were not serving their Coffee Pork Ribs on the day of their visit as they were facing supply issues for pork ribs — considering so, we went with the option of adding Crispy Pork to our order instead. All All-time Favourites and Signature Noodles on Rhapsody In Braise’s menu does come with a complimentary bowl of soup on the side — the All-time Favourites items also comes with slices of cucumbers as well. Digging into the two (2) different type of meats that we had went for, the Honey Char Siew does seem to shine in its own right; the Honey Char Siew here does come with a really old-school vibe where it does feel meaty but well balanced with the sweetness of the honey glaze — not too sweet nor overly charred much like the ones that are being served up at Hong Kong-style roast meat stalls these days. Each slice of Char Siew also feels tender and moist — this is even despite the Char Siew being sliced thickly. Meanwhile, the Crispy Pork is essentially their Roast Pork offering here; we did notice that the crackling skin delivers a crunch more akin to that of Italian-style Porchetta — all that whilst the meat is tender, gelatinous, fatty and melt-in-the-mouth without being particularly salty. Both meats went well with the sambal that comes savoury, salty and mildly spicy, while the rice served up here being especially fragrant on its own as well.
My first time trying Hangzhou/Jiangnan cuisine, and the Grandma's Secret Dishes was easily the highlight—rich, comforting and filled with tender chicken, pork trotters, corn and cordyceps, just like a homemade soup. The Youbu-style Egg Cake was another standout- unique, freshly made and packed with vegetables and chicken. I also enjoyed the wholesome Double-Boiled Pear with White Fungus dessert and refreshing Lime Roselle drink. I'd definitely come back for the soup!
Who wants authentic Hangzhou food.. their Fried rice tasted as if I was in China! Most food tasted as it is without any msg or extra flavouring. Love the Grandma secret dishes chicken pork soup, its the best. Almost every other table ordered it. Overall satisfaction guaranteed for Chinese authentic food.
Visited Ingleside yesterday with a friend and had a great meal! We ordered the Wagyu Picanha and the Lamb Loin, and both were absolutely delicious; perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavour. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly service. Will definitely be back!
Ingleside impressed with its cosy ambience and beautifully executed fishes! The Wagyu Picanha stole the show for me, and everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. A lovely spot for a special night out ✨
Got to learn about the existence of Dong Sheng Bak Chor Mee 东盛肉脞面 whilst scrolling around social media — these folks have recently opened their doors within the Sultan’s Kitchen food court at Sultan Plaza. These folks had taken over the stall unit which was previously occupied by Fat Cat; a stall that serves up Sarawakian cuisine which has recently made its move out of Sultan’s Kitchen and into another coffeeshop in Bedok. As what one would expect from its namesake, Dong Sheng Bak Chor Mee does specialise in its local-style minced meat noodle offerings; they also do serve up Fishball Noodles, Laksa, Kway Teow Soup and Scallion Oil Noodles whilst also serving up a variety of Snacks that one can add on to the bowl of noodles that they had decided to go for.
We went for the Signature Bak Chor Mee during our visit to Dong Sheng Bak Chor Mee; Dong Sheng Bak Chor Mee does not describe the elements that are included in their various dishes, though it can be observed that the Signature Bak Chor Mee does come with fishcake, pork slices, pork balls, minced pork, crispy pork lard, lettuce and braised mushrooms — Dong Sheng Bak Chor Mee does allow its patrons to choose from a variety of noodle types for their bowl of noodles such as that of Mee Pok, Mee Kia, Hor Fun, Thick Rice Noodle, Thin Rice Noodle and Yellow Noodle. We found ourselves opting for the Mee Pok, whilst also specifying our order to come with a mix of chili and vinegar for its sauce base. Giving the noodles a toss before digging in, we did like the consistency of the Mee Pok which carried a good bite and was springy — the noodles also come laced in the sauce mix that came with a good balance of savouriness and tanginess; not too vinegary, whilst it does come with a light hint of spiciness that should still be manageable for those whom are tolerable to slightly lower than moderate levels of spiciness. The pork slices and minced pork do seem pretty fresh; void of any undesirable porky stench whilst they were easy to chew through and came with a slight sweetness; the crispy pork lard delivering a crunch while the braised mushrooms came with a bounce, earthiness and a tang.
Fantastic experience at Ingleside! We started with some sourdough bread that came with an amazing butter that was fermented in house.
We moved on to the tasty Maitake & Pork which melted in our mouths.
The wonderful Roasted Red Cabbage was coated with a miso butter and balsamic vinegar and went well with the pieces of pancetta.
Everything led up to our mains, the Tajima Wagyu Picanha and the Lumina Lamb Loin. We got both in medium rare (cooked by wood fire) and it is a must try! The shio koji marinade offered a savory and slightly sweet umami flavor to both the beef and the lamb. Both meats were tender and we enjoyed every bite!
Definitely will return again soon!
Shout out to our server Nicholas who did a great job in explaining the menu so patiently to us!
Ingleside does a great job of bringing together interesting techniques without making the dishes feel overly complicated.
The shio koji-marinated Tajima Wagyu Picanha had a deep, well-rounded flavour, complemented by the slow-roasted banana shallot. The two-day dry-aged Channel Rockfish was especially impressive, with a clean texture and layers of umami from the roasted chicken garum, herb and anchovy sauce.
The sourdough and miso fermented butter set the tone nicely at the start of the meal, while the lemon ginger spritz provided a bright and refreshing balance throughout. A creative and well-executed dining experience.
There always seem to be something new in the Food Republic food court at Wisma Atria every now and then — it does seem that one of the stall situated at the corner near the windows overlooking Orchard Road had most recently changed hands; new to the food court would be a stall that is labelled Korean Style Beak Ban. Turns out, the stall does carry the name of Jang San Korean Cuisine — if the name does sound familiar to some, perhaps it is because some folks have heard about Jang San Korean Restaurant that is situated in NeWest along AYE. The opening of this stall location within the Food Republic food court at Wisma Atria is the brand’s very first foray outside of running an independent location on its own — the establishment does seem to focus quite a bit on their Korean Home-Style Beak Ban offerings which comes with four (4) side dishes, lettuce, soup and rice; that being said, those whom want to opt for something simpler can go for their Korean Rice Bowl, Korean Soup and Korean Noodle offerings.
Since the Korean Home-Style Beak Ban offerings are the highlight at Jang San Korean Cuisine, we found ourselves going for the Smoky Pork BBQ Set. Whilst Jang San Korean Cuisine did not describe the four (4) side dishes that comes as part of the set, it can be observed from our order that the side dishes involved two (2) different types of Kimchi, pickled radish and fishcake. One can think of the Smoky Pork BBQ Set as something quite similar to Ssam considering how it does come with all the elements that typically come with the Ssam — this includes the lettuce, Ssamjang, cloves of garlic and sliced green chili. The Smoky Pork BBQ does come in a form that is similar to Shabu Shabu Pork where the porn has been sliced into thin pieces and grilled — wrapping these in the leafy greens with the addition of the the Ssamjang, garlic cloves and green chili, the pork does come with a meaty note whilst also carrying a very light hint of smokiness; all that while the Ssamjang gives a nutty, sweet and lightly spicy note further enhanced by the green chili, while the garlic adds a zing alongside that garlicky note that also compliments the refreshing and crisp lettuce leaves. One can also pair the meat with the short grain rice that comes on the side as well. Despite being slightly pricey for Korean fare within a food court setting at $16, it does make for a substantial yet wholesome meal in its own right.
Bee hoon with egg, beansprouts, sotong, prawn, and spring onion in an umami broth. The bee hoon was still soaking up the essence, with texture remaining al dente. It was nice to have a moderate amount of broth, but this serving felt a bit too much, almost like eating noodles in soup. At least the taste stayed umami, so it was still acceptable. I liked the eggy flavour in it, and the prawn was peeled too. Overall, okay average I guess.
