Hawker Eats × Lor Bak 滷肉 🐷

Gravy-soaked rice topped with braised pork belly and toppings such as ajitsuke tamago (ramen egg), pressed tofu (tau kwa), tofu puff (tau pok), shiitake mushroom, black fungus and vegetables served in old-school tin enamel bowl 》$5

The long hours of braising result in a soft and firm braised pork belly which simply melts in your mouth with every bite. The gravy is thick and not salty. Unlike the usual hard-boiled egg, they serve ramen egg over here. This is simply comforting and satisfying but do expect to spend some time queuing for it.

The queue was still acceptable (20 mins) when I was there for breakfast. This bowl of braised pork ribs noodle carries a herbal flavour. The ribs were braised so soft and tender that they fell off the bone easily with the use of chopsticks. Something hearty for breakfast to start off my day 》$4

A comforting bowl of lor bak rice that comes with chunky pieces of tender pork belly, braised egg and black fungus 》$4

It has a good ratio of meat to fats. Meat is tender, fats just melts in the mouth and black fungus was added to give a different texture and crunch to break away from the richness of the pork belly.

Slow braised for 12 hrs, the meat was so tender that we can easily pull it off. For people like me who doesn’t like too much fats which feels too jelak, this is the right meat dish to go. The amount of fats and skin in this dish is lesser/manageable with no large bones in sight. Not to mention the portion is recommended for sharing and definitely worth the price tag 》$8
