Well, I hunger for pork! So a bit of research and we end up here. It’s packed! A good sign indeed. So law of the jungle sees us scanning the restaurant to see what table is going to finish first. So we stand next to the table hovering over the diners. It’s what they do here! So we are waiting for about half an hour. I see plates of sui yook which is Chinese roast pork the house speciality. It looks good! We sit down and there is only one person who takes the orders, which took another half hour! Then it takes another half hour for the food to come. It’s moist tasty and trendy and with beautiful crispy skin. The rice is a tad under cooked and the accompanying chicken is good without being great. They only serve four things here, rice, roast pork, char sui (BBQ pork) and fried soya chicken. No Asian greens, nothing else! So wind the clock forward 12 hours and I’m suffering diahorrea. Obviously food safety in a lot of these corner or back street cafe restaurants leaves a lot to be desired such as The eateries along Jalon Alor. Service is non existent and therefore slow. If you have a cast iron stomach then you probably enjoy this restaurant. But for me once bitten twice shy.
