The Braised House (Serangoon)

(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!

As advertised, the Minced Pork Bowl was full of minced pork that soaked up all the superb sapidity of the braise, and The Braised House decided to spice it up with the inclusion of some chili into the mince. Not only was it supremely savoury, it was also surprisingly spicy. The mince was surprisingly delightful to devour with the sauced up rice, and the five quail eggs. No really, each Minced Pork Bowl comes with five whole quail eggs. Now that’s what I call protein power.⠀

Both rice bowls were sauced to the socks with the umami soya sauce based braising broth. The Signature Braised Chicken stars a pair of chicken wings that have been braised till tremendously tender. The low & slow braising has also infused every fibre of chicken with the striking savouriness of the braise, and each bite is a tasty one. The bowl is also loaded with an abundance of Chinese mushrooms, braised peanuts and a portion of xiao bai cai (leafy greens) for a massive meal that’ll satisfy your hunger and your need for flavour.⠀

[Kovan, Singapore 🇸🇬]

I first tried 卤之家 through groupbuy when it was a home-based business during Covid-19. Later it opened a physical outlet at Bedok North. Recently I found that it has opened a bigger outlet, just a bus stop away from Kovan MRT Station. There’s indoor air con dine in area, a big improvement from Bedok outlet. The place was minimal in look.

Signature Braised Pork Bowl 招牌卤肉饭 (S$11.50)
Uncut pork belly + ramen egg + mild spicy minced meat + xiao bai cai
The minced pork gave quite a spicy kick. If that’s not enough for you, don’t forget to help yourself to the accompanying chilli sauce. The pork belly looked very fatty but the fat simply melted in the mouth. Can’t help wishing the meat could be more tender too.

Torched Tamagoyaki Mentaiko 火烧玉子烧明太子 (S$7.80)
The sweet spongy egg roll topped with the savoury mentaiko was quite a combination.
