I needed to collect a free cabin baggage (complimentary from Citibank when I signed up for credit cards) from The Central, and since I didn't fancy lugging it around, I wanted to drive there to pick it up. The opportunity arose when J wanted to check out some serviced apartment at River Valley area. Since Central is along the way, we decided we could stop by The Central, eat lunch, pick up my free gift, then head to River Valley, before returning to office.
We had once spotted Porky Pork while waiting for our Gong Cha previously. So we decided that's where we would go for lunch. Between the five of us, we decided on sharing a Porky Pork platter for 4 pax, and an addition beef brisket. The platter comes with 4 buns or rice, and the brisket 1. We all opted for buns.
The platter consist of roasted pork belly, hungarian sausages, and pulled pork. The roasted pork belly was crispy, and sinfully yummy. The sausage is good as all sausages are. The pulled pork were nicely marinated, and goes really well with the buns. The sides were bland and boring.

The beef brisket was tender, but a little on a dry, apparent from the photo. Yet it was flavorful, and and doesn't have the typical overly beefy taste that briskets sometimes have.

It wasn't too expensive, coming up to maybe about $10 each. However, sitting capacity in the cafe is pretty small. And upon my googling now, I discovered that they have closed down. This phenomenon is more common to restaurants that Lynn blog. She have a tendency to blog about restaurants that subsequently close down. I think as of now her 'curse rate' is about 20%. Even an unfortunate restaurant, which she intended to write badly about but never got around to, was at the mercy of her curse. Me, 2 out of about 100 posts. Not too bad at all...
