去過澳門的大利來下下5次，卻不知道大利來在新加坡已開了兩間分店。需然剛吃完午餐，還是忍不住去吃個下午茶，豬扒包比菠蘿豬扒包好吃，豬扒乾了一點，包也不像豬仔包，但整體仍覺好食。

Full Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe review: http://ivanteh-runningman.blogspot.sg/2015/02/tai-lei-loi-kei-cafe.htmlFounded in 1968 in Taipa, Macau, Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe has grown from being a humble coffee stall to an international brand franchise. Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe is best known for a signature Macau speciality, the Pork Chop Bun, and their version is made with large pieces of Brazilian pork.Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe patterns itself after a fast-food concept. Ambience at Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe is clean and functional, with many wooden tables and metal chairs laid out in tightly packed, linear fashion in its small floor space. Interior lighting is warm but dim, and the openess of the place leads to a relatively high ambient noise level.Due to its fast food concept, you'll largely be doing self-service. Service staff at Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe are friendly though, and able to make recommendations. However, ordering, payment, and collection of orders are all self-service. I also notice staff clearing empty / dirty tables quickly and efficiently, a critical action due to the small floor space and limited seating at Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe. I'm also thankful for the staff who guided me when ordering, saving me money.The menu at Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe is limited, but the few items they have are done very well. Food at Tai Lei Loi Kei Cafe are largely Macau classic favourites, and all are tasty and flavourful. Portions are quite large, more than enough for 1 person, and prices are comparable to other fast food brands, budget about SGD $13 or so per person.The house Signature Pork Chop Bun (SGD $6.90) only has 2 main ingredients, a large, thick slab of Brazilian pork chop, lean without much fat, marinated in house secret spices then grilled till juicy and tender, with a slight crust. Sandwiched between a house recipe baguette bread / bun, which is soft, fluffy, and tears off easily, this is a winner. It's full flavoured, and delicious. Highly recommended!The Bouncy Noodles With Chicken Wings & Luncheon Meat (SGD $8.90) is a full meal on its own. The noodles are al-dente, with a slight bite, yet still soft, and savoury from soaking in the soy sauce gravy. The vegetables of Chinese broccoli / kai-lan are fresh and lend a crunchy texture, while the chicken wings are crisp yet juicy, with a delicious skin. I also liked the large slab of luncheon meat, which is soft and savoury. However, the egg wasn't that great, halfway between an overeasy and a sunny side up egg, it had a semi solid yolk, neither runny nor hard.

New to NEX is Tai Lei Loi Kei, replacing the hardware store that sits in between the mall and the bus interchange previously. Originating from Macau since 1968, Tai Lei Loi Kei specialises in its famed Macau-styled Pork Chop Bun. Other items on the menu include Noodles and Rice with both Pork Chop or Chicken Wings, or Breakfast sets. There is also Sawdust Pudding available; the only dessert that is sold here.My dining partner wanted something light, so she went for the Pork Chop Bun ($4.90). The Pork Chop Bun was pretty no-nonsense, coming with just two slices of bread and quite a huge slab of pork chop in between just like how it would have been served in Macau. The Pork Chop was savoury and was not too dry, grilled and well-marinated, though some might find the marination a bit too salty. It tasted pretty similar to Vietnamese Pork Chops, while the buns were quite similar to a crustier and lighter baguette. While the portion seemed fine for one, I am not sure if its exactly filling or because my dining partner was not too hungry, but she eventually did not finish the bun.I ordered the Pork Chop Rice Set ($7.90), which comes with that similar Pork Chop alongside Rice with egg and curry at the side. Rice was pretty fluffy, and the curry at the side was somewhat similar to Japanese Curry but with a more spicier and sweeter note which was pretty flavourful. Pork Chop was very much the same as the one from the Pork Chop Bun, while the egg was well-executed, with yolk oozing out when burst.When I noticed they sold Sawdust Pudding, it got my mind thinking of Hatter’s Street variant. Thankfully the one from Tai Lei Loi Kei came without the “Smoked” part, but it was generally quite a different dessert. Instead of eggy custards, it was replaced with a thick cream that hinted of light sweetness amidst layers of fine biscuit crumbs. While it was not what I actually expected, it was actually pretty delicious and my dining partner loved it as well.For more photos and the full review, please visit: https://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/tai-lei-loi-kei-%E6%BE%B3%E9%97%A8%E5%A4%A7%E5%88%A9%E6%9D%A5%E8%AE%B0-nex/

Macau's famous Pork Chop bun 猪扒包 finally arrives in Singapore. They have chosen serangoon NEX as their first station. Situated just next to the escalator, it's really not easy to missed it. It was a Saturday afternoon when I visited but the shop wasn't crowded.The shop was not designed to resemble Macau, only with a big pink piggy signage & a lamp pole stating "macau" on it. The place wasn't big also, 30 seaters the most. For the menu, other than their signature bun, they do serve other choices such as pork chop rice/noodle set, curry fishballs, chicken wings, desserts etc. The prices was on the high side.I ordered their signature 猪扒包 & a pork chop rice. It took them 10mins to serve me my bun & a little longer for my rice set which I think it's too long. The place wasn't crowded also but existing customers got to gather around the pick up area to wait for their food. The staff there wasn't well trained also. Counter staff wasn't very polite when taking orders from me & kept asking me in singlish "no more ah? Only 2 items ah? That's all ah?" 😔 Another auntie was shouting food queue number across the whole place every now & then 😂 Back to my orders. The bun oni consists of a piece of pork chop & the bun, nothing else so I don't see why the drag. It's $6.90 for your info. The meat slice was thin, abit dry & not flavourful enough. The punch is not there whereas the marinate doesn't give you the wow factor. I wouldn't say it was not nice but just no surprise. Although I can't remember the taste I had in Macau but I think these served locally can be improved. The pork chop rice set comes in small portion also. $7.90 with the same type of pork chop slice but with a sunny side up, little rice & accompanied by their curry gravy. It's was too small a portion to feed my hubby. Hahaha.. Sunny side up was overcooked & no runny egg yolk. But I could say the curry gravy saved the day. The curry gravy was thick & fragrant, tastes very different from our usual local nonya curry. It goes really well with the relatively bland pork chop & rice. So I guessed the curry fishballs should be good I will give this place another try someday, to try other dishes on the menu, especially the pork chop polo bun which was yet to be available when I visited. Hopefully the polo bun version can be the hero! By then, I wished that staff performance can improved too, it's such an important factor for service line.
