Twice in a row, couldn't get enough of the old diner. Always have preferred the old dinky diner than the bigger space because of the homey, intimate mood they give! And because it's like the original place and stuff.This time, I ordered the Spicy Nyonya Cooked Pork sandwich (around $15, and the name is not exact). As usual, there's free cold water, self-service on the end of the table-top counter. My friends and I were chatting much, and it didn't take too long for my lunch to be served, like 10
This time, I ordered the Spicy Nyonya Cooked Pork sandwich (around $15, and the name is not exact). As usual, there's free cold water, self-service on the end of the table-top counter. My friends and I were chatting much, and it didn't take too long for my lunch to be served, like 10 minutes? Usually I expect more and sometimes it does happen here, take note guys, to always be understanding though, as this is not a FAST FOOD JOINT, BUT GIVING THE SLOW FOOD EXPERIENCE. So if you don't know what slow food is, check it up in Google! Singapore has always expected food to be ping, ping, ping!
First time trying the meal, I wanted something spicy. So the sandwich came, in bigger portion than expected. YES! Was hungry anways
When I tried, I was like "hey i know this kind of cooking!" Back home my mom cooks this, it takes hours of preparation and time to slow cook it under steam, and I know it as 'babihong' with those ginger and sweet juices and stuff. Sadly, it wasn't spicy at all, like the name says.
Was pretty interesting to eat this as a sandwich, and the salad, again was fresh with green leafy goods and cubed tomatos. A fresh combination to the heavy pork and bread.
As long as I know they cook it with their heart, should be no problem!
Indeed filling!
