Was walking around during CNY 初三 and saw this opened, so decided to try the 猪什汤 (Pork organ soup) with 卤肉饭 (Rice with braised pork belly)
Food:
Soup is decent. Not as peppery (I added pepper to suit my taste). There was some noticeable sweetness in the soup. However, the flavors weren't as strong as I expected (seeing that it's the "pork rib king")
The meat (stomach, liver etc.) is quite nice, except for the lean meat which I felt was on the tough side.
The 卤肉 (braised meat) which came with the rice was cooked pretty well, it was tender and soft. And the gravy really complements the rice.
Chilli goes pretty well with the meat too! Spicy enough to give a kick but not spicy to numb your tongue.
Price:
Honestly though, I think they are on the pricier side. The 卤肉饭 costs $2 per bowl, more than two times the price of a normal rice bowl (80 cents) but the amout of meat they gave leaves much to be desired.
In addition, I ordered a large bowl of pig organ soup ($7), but I feel the amount of ingredients didn't feel like $7. But this could be due to the prime location of the place. (Well, they didn't have a CNY price increase, or at least I'm not aware of it, so that's nice)
Ambience:
I can't say much as I went during CNY so there was little people. But well, that's what piqued my interest as there was a considerable number of people eating in the shop knowing that it's CNY.
Nevertheless, the shop interior was decorated with some rustic feel, but that was all.
Overall:
Unfortunately, I wouldn't say this is one of the best pig organ soup I've eaten. It's decent, but not "wow". It's a nice place to go to if you are hungry around the Jalan Besar area, but I won't travel here just to eat it, as I would with other food. If I eat here again, I'll update this review.
