I have been meaning to check out Ajumma's at Funan but their queues are constantly long.

Like me, most were attracted by the promise of crispy pork belly laid over creamy scrambled eggs, caramelised onions and rice, with a flavoursome in-house yuja (yuzu) soy sauce created specially by Ajumma's over white rice.

The reality however was disappointing. The pork belly was well marinated but suffered from the cardinal sin of a rubbery and almost leathery crackling. The eggs were fluffy and rich, and I enjoyed the sweet yet tangy yuja sauce. The rice was however a tad mushy.

I may have caught a bad break on that day and I do acknowledge that takeaways (albeit a fast one) may have an impact on the taste of the food but I cant help but feel flat that Ajumma's did not live up to the promise.
