Kovan 209 Market & Food Centre

Healthy and good, especially the ytf.

Hong Kong kailan, braised pork belly, curry pork ribs. Rice damn little. Very fat pork belly. I hate this veggie hahaha.

I always have a soft spot for such pork patty.

Had I known that each bowl came with a slice of 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲, I wouldn’t have ordered one portion ($4.90) to try. Texture and taste-wise they were like fish cakes and I thought they weren’t particularly noteworthy.

Still, @shiniansg is a great place for affordable Pig Trotter Rice and I’d recommend trying it if you haven’t had this dish before.

I was also impressed with the 𝗣𝗶𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($5.90), which the staff warned contained more bones than meat. Scraping the meat and tendon off the bones was surprisingly enjoyable. I felt like a lion on National Geographic.

We started with the 𝗣𝗶𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗴 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($5.90). The tender lean meat and the fatty skin, which wasn’t overly oily, provided great textural contrast, while the sour preserved vegetables were delightful. The sapid gravy elevated the flavours of every component in the bowl. An excellent dish!
