After reading that this shop is moving away to a new location, I have always been reminding myself to visit this place soon, as not to miss the chance of dining in a nostalgic environment of colonial days.
Today Sunday I managed to wake up early and arrived at around 9:30 am. Ample parking can be found further down the road. However, the shop was already fully occupied and couple of patrons were queuing outside. We placed a booking order and our names were called 20 minutes later. While waiting, I snapped a picture of the facade.
We promptly ordered the recommended Hainanese pork chop and roti babi. The pork chop arrived first and it was different from those typically served in other shops, being that it's not served with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was a type of brown gravy with lots of garlic and onions. But it's still served with green peas, which I dislike.
Next came the roti babi. The presentation was nothing to be impressed with. It looked like any plain French toast with some cabbage leaves.
However, once cut open, juicy pork floss began oozing out.
Sorry, the picture was blurry.
We finished our meals with a few quick bites, and were now ready to order the star of the attraction: pork belly roast with apple sauce. However, we have to wait till 10:30 am or after as the pork bellies were still roasting in the oven. So, in the meantime, we ordered a set of half-boiled eggs. Warning: the soya sauce is extremely salty.
The morning patrons.
The pork belly roasts were ready after some delay. The meat was succulent and the skin crispy. In fact too crispy till it's sometimes very hard to cut or bite. The apple sauce wasn't sweet nor too thick, but in fact I prefer otherwise. Hence, I skipped the sauce.
The entire roll of roasted pork belly. Damage: RM 150.00.
