- Fried rice: wok-fried rice with egg, vegetables and spring onion
This is the classic Singapore-Chinese tze char βWesternβ pairing, and it is pure comfort. The pork chops here came in a sweet-and-sour-ish style: crispy battered pork tossed in a glossy, tangy red sauce with sliced onion, tomato and a scatter of green peas. The crunchy coating soaks up just enough sauce while staying crisp, and the sweet-sour gravy is exactly the kind you want to spoon over rice.
And the fried rice is the perfect partner. Wok-fried over high heat so it picks up that smoky wok hei, with egg, diced vegetables and a fresh scatter of spring onion. Loose, savoury and fragrant, it is the carb anchor that the saucy pork chops are made to go with.
Together they make a generous, satisfying meal to share, the sort of unfussy, full-flavoured dinner that tze char does so well. At $6 a dish, lovely value.
Overall: 4.5 / 5. πππΌ Crispy tangy pork chops over smoky wok-fried rice, classic tze char comfort. Would re-order.
