The Champ Kitchen prides themselves on braised pork knuckles and a cooking method like no other β up to 180 pork knuckles are thrown into a ginormous steel pot and slow-cooked over 72 hours to achieve off-the-bone tenderness. Come for a luscious lunch and bring a trotter-loving friend with you. We recommend a quick treat with the Pork Rice (RM8), jewelled with a gleaming piece of knuckle, pork belly, preserved vegetables and a seasoned boiled egg (runny centre guaranteed). For something a little more ambitious, it will have to be the Claypot Pork Knuckle (RM38) that's good for two to three people. The slab swims in a dark yet lightly-flavoured sauce that suggests of the establishment's homey cooking style β no MSG here, but feel free to jazz up your pork with soy sauce. Have this with white rice or our all-time favourite Fried Mantou (RM1.50 per piece).
Avg price per person: RM15
