Meat And Rice – Flavourfully Braised Meat Rice Bowls in Queenstown

If you frequent ABC Brickworks Food Centre, you might have noticed a new hawker stall that has opened up recently. Run by Hawker Duo Xavier Lim & Ong Weijie, Meat and Rice offers fusion braised meat rice bowls.

The brand originally started off as a home-based business, as the duo wanted to get a feel of the F&B scene. Eventually, they decided to open up a physical stall at ABC Brickworks Food Centre. Even though the stall has only been opened for two months, it has already garnered a loyal following!

One of their signature items is the Kongbapeng ($6.50). The flavours of the braising liquid sufficiently permeates each piece of meat, resulting in an explosion of flavours in every bite. Not to mention, the meat melts in your mouth as well. The cherry on top has to be the garlic sauce that is drizzled over each bowl. The fragrance of the garlic bits accentuates and complements the flavours of the braised meat very well.

An addition to their original menu, the Braised Pig Trotter Rice ($6.50) uses meat from the trotters instead of pork belly. The trotters are cooked in the same braising sauce, and were as tender as the pork belly, just with a more gelatinous skin. Each bowl also comes with an onsen egg and wanton skin.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this has got to be one of best braised meat dishes I’ve had in recent times! I would definitely be back to try their bestseller, Duckpeng (which was sold out) and I recommend coming early to avoid disappointment!
