Jin Hock Seafood is tucked away in a kopitiam in Tampines where they whip up familiar zi char fare with a twist. Their bestselling Double Flavoured Hor Fun ($15) tops off regular hor fun with a deep-fried version. And an awesome side I rec you pair that with is their Crispy Deep Fried Pork with Garlic ($12), which is battered pieces of pork, and cloves of deep-fried garlic. It sounds pretty straightforward, but your first bite into a piece of pork is full of umami goodness. It's crispy on the outside, with a distinct, garlicky fragrance. Inside, it is tender, juicy, and very deliciously fatty. The garlic cloves are neither pungent nor dry after deep-frying. With their house-made belacan that is tangy, and a little spicy, this side dish would go well with rice too. If you can’t get enough of it though, Jin Hock Seafood sells larger portions at $18 and $24.
