I was quite surprised at first when I found out this place serves pork (non-halal) because most cafes these days cater to all Malaysian.

Fried mantou buns served with pork belly, tangy som tam (Thai young mango and papaya salad). Quite a nice twist to usual cafes and having Asian fusion starters are a plus. Seeing so many good reviews about their pork bun, I must try it myself. I’m sorry for being the party pooper here because I honestly think it did not do its fame justice. Pork belly was only a square of pure fat in every buns, only bits and pieces of nicely charred pork. Pork belly has 3 layers, the fat and meat alternating. I only got the fats in every bun. Sigh

Luckily the fried mantou was not soaked in oil despite being fried. Every bite and squeeze did not ooze out with oil. Good job! The tangy somtam and sweet sauce brought this appetiser together with great flavour. It would have been better if the pork belly was equally ‘distributed’. Having this as a starter can be rather filling already since it has bread and meat in it. I was quite stuffed but addicted to the mantou. Still ended up finishing my share, knowing I still have a pasta and burger to combat through.

Food: 6/10 Price: 8/10 (RM 15 – G&G does not charge GST. At this price, you get 3 fried mantou with pork belly. RM 5 for each. Is it worth it? You be the judge. Toppings and fillings might not be consistent. Maybe you like pork fats? Or get better parts of the pork belly on your visit and have higher satisfaction then me. Then it’s all good!)
