Hua Zai Hong Kong Style Roasted Delight is no stranger to me as I blogged about it more than five years ago, when I noticed there were many mushrooming branches all over Singapore.
I wasn't impressed and had never revisited since, until a friend mentioned that his brother loves the signature braised pork rice, and thought I should check it out, given how deep an adoration I had for luroufan!
Ignoring the long queue for the bak chor mee in the same coffee shop at Yishun, I sure hoped the braised pork rice would be worth me dropping by on a Sunday morning.
For convenience, my family ordered other things from the same stall; one of which would be their char siew wanton mee that proved to be just average tasting.
Anyway, the braised pork rice was said to be chef recommended, and signature. So I shall dig in with bated breath. Visually, the excessive lean meat and the lack of much braised sauce were downers.
One scoop in and I was rolling my eyes; meat was tough and wasn't braised long enough, resulting in a blandness that the braised sauce also didn't help by being overly light and short on sweetness and savoriness. Definitely not Taiwanese style, and thoroughly disappointing. Even the fatty bits fail to elevate my mood!
