Happy New Year!
And just how do we as a family ring in the New
Year? No prizes for guessing that we celebrate the beginning of the new year by
going to an eating place, and it being our first post of the year and all. A good friend recommended this place to us and suggested
that we give the house specialty a try.

We duly obliged and apart from the 1Paper
Wrapped Chicken, and it being the New Year and all we (went overboard) and ordered
the 2Tung Po Braised Pork Belly as well as Salted Vegetable and Bean
Curd Soup. You will not imagine the kilometres I will have to run to to 'absolve' myself of such a ‘sinful’ spread, diet-wise.

of marinated chicken wrapped in parchment paper envelopes
2a
classic pork dish from mainland China, cooked using pork belly and a
combination of ginger, garlic, aromatic spices, chilli peppers, sugar, light
and dark soy, and rice wine. The pork belly is cooked until the fat and skin
are gelatinous and melt easily in the mouth, while the sauce is usually thick,
sweet and fairly sticky

| Happy New Year everyone! |
The verdict? This may come as a surprise
but we honestly thought the Braised Pork Belly outshone the Wrapped Chicken,
hands down. Brendan (who’s an avid lover of all things bacon) absolutely loved
the Braised Pork Belly (which is in hindsight, uncured bacon after all) and
could not get enough of it, so much so that he completely neglected the Wrapped
Chicken. There was actually nothing wrong with the Wrapped Chicken, it’s just
that it was completely overshadowed by the Braised Pork Belly, that’s all.
And since it was a celebratory lunch to
usher in the New Year we’ll not discuss damage, which means the total breached the realms of the everyday food for the everyday person.
