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.
