Pork belly with sticky braised sauce glazing the skin with a glossy sheen. The pork belly is well prepared with tender meat accompanied with gelatinous fat and skin where it attains the melt-in-the-mouth texture 》$18
Prepping squid is no easy feat. I'm glad the squid here did not turn out rubbery despite waiting for more than 30mins. The squid was done with slight crisp and char on the outside without getting rubbery inside. It was flavoured with hot and spicy hoi xin sauce that makes the grilled squids addictive and appetizing 》$20
Simply love the chill ambience at ORTO and such a pity to know that this place will be soon gone for development. Saw many families celebrating birthdays on a Friday night at the restaurant. We ordered the speciality fire chicken, which was a spectacle to behold when it was lit up. All the other dishes we ordered were fresh and tasty too. Would probably do a return to this place soon before it is gone for good.
Feeds 2 perfectly. It's weird how I end up eating more ckn now when prices have risen alr
This was godly. The kampung chicken is done to perfection. It's isn't overly steamed so it's a lot more chewy in a pleasant way, which is the right way to do these chicken. The flavour is incredible as well.
Pair that with a salty sauce which is equally flavourful but doesn't have much character to distract from the chicken, and the grassy mild ginger sauce for MAX PLEASURE
Must visit
The beehoon has a good bite despite being braised. I prefer it softer but there's nothing wrong w this. The pumpkin soup takes 48hours to boil allegedly, and is pretty thick. I quite liked it but it's salty and the main taste is a sourness from veggies apparently
The seafood was fine but the extremely tiny pieces of concentrated pork lard was the highlight. Incredibly smoky and full of umami, plus it's crispy too.
The dude doesn't know what he's talking about tho. He said it's dried shrimp when it's clearly not, and he said there's crab when there wasn't.
Their chili is absolutely delicious, you can taste the freshness of the chili flesh and it's so simple yet stunning
