Braised Meat Rice

I marvel at how simple-looking, yet delicious a vegan dish can be! Although slightly pricey ($5.80), this dish tasted exceptional on so many levels. This rendition of ‘chicken’ rice was nicely cooked with a hint of lemongrass. This component alone is easily far more superior than a lot of good omni chicken rice! Complemented with chilli (not in picture), albeit not chicken rice chilli, the rice could be eaten on its own w/o other ingredients! The chilli resembled those good wanton mee sambal chilli, though a tad spicy. I was blown away by how accurate the fatty layer of the ‘braised meat’ was to the omni’s version. The gelatinous layer really screamed full marks for the texture, although the meaty layer fell short slightly but was compensated for its immensely strong flavours. Some minor qualms: I wish the herbal soup was stronger in flavour as it was diluted, and the braised tofu served warm, although the flavour was not compromised!

Pretty tasty dish. It appeared to have not much ingredients compared to rice but it turned out to be really flavourful with the 5 spice soya sauce. It came with chilli that was really spicy, went well but could only finish half the packet. Wish they have more veggies.

It was super delicious and tasted like a home-cooked meal ❤️🌱

$5 for this gem! never really eaten braised meat even before I turned vegetarian and for some reason I was attracted to this even though it was something I wouldn’t normally try🤷‍♀️ I didn’t really know what to expect from it so overall it was pretty nice!! like the mock 三层肉 or um mock layered meat (I have no idea what it’s called HAHA) was of a pretty cool and tender consistency, like the supposed fatty part was jelly like and idk it was pretty interesting and nice!! the braised tofu was also soft and silky:”) the rice was amazing like it was so flavorful and not overly salty, I didn’t feel the urge to drink a lot of water after eating this like I normally would! so that’s great hehe oh and I love the cucumbers at the side too! usually only given one or two slices at other places but THERES THREE HERE:D was so happy when I found another slice hiding underneath hehe. one thing is that for some reason I always expect some kind of veggies and when I didn’t receive any and everything was brown I was just a little like :o but it’s alright everything was great anyway! really worth $5 too:”)
