The guys went cycling at East Coast Park and we met for bak kut teh & pork knuckle at East Coast Lagoon Food Village hawker centre. I was quite blown away by Han Jia's braised pork knuckle (though it's obviously not for everyone).
All-in-all, the pork belly satay really elevated the familiar taste of familar hawker favourites, adding an extra meaty oomph to the meal.
The next item to try is their braised pork trotters ($6). The pork leg is served in a dark rich herbal sauce that you can smell even without digging in. The skin of the pork legs has a sticky and gelatinous skin holding all the chunks of meat together. Packed full of deep soy herbal flavour and collagen. Although the leg is stewed till a very dark shade of brown, it is neither really salty nor savoury. Instead it is the herbal flavour that is very prominent.
Despite the name of the shop, this stall is not located in Geylang but on East Coast Road, across from Al Forno and close to Beach Road Prawn Mee. But it takes it roots from Geylang as it’s the same family as Swee Guan in Geylang.
