下雨天吃猪杂汤 ($4 each)!
A rainy-day bowl of Teochew pig organ soup: sliced pork, liver, pork balls and salted vegetable in a peppery broth, with chilli. $4 each.
Rainy weather calls for hot soup, so BB and I went for 猪杂汤 (pig organ soup), $4 each. 🌧️😋
What we had ($8 total):
- Two bowls of pig organ soup: sliced pork, pork liver, pork balls and salted vegetable in a peppery broth, with chilli on the side
There is no better cure for a grey, wet afternoon than a steaming bowl of Teochew pig organ soup. The broth is the heart of it, a cloudy pork-bone soup with a good lift of white pepper, savoury and warming, the kind that clears your head a little as you drink it.
Swimming in it were slices of tender pork, just-cooked pork liver (soft and barely pink, the way it should be), bouncy pork balls, and bits of salted vegetable that add a salty-sour edge to the broth. Coriander and chopped chives finish it off.
The little saucer of chilli on the side is essential: dab the pork and liver into it for a sharp, spicy kick that cuts the richness. Honest, nourishing, peppery comfort food for $4 a bowl, exactly what a rainy day asks for.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Peppery, warming pig organ soup with tender pork and liver, perfect for the rain. Would re-order.
