招牌猪手 Pork Trotter @ Eng Kee 淡杯老荣记 in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Skudai, Johor

I love pork trotters 猪手 whether it is braised, stewed, roasted, baked or fried like German style Schweinshaxe pork knuckles. So, when I heard about 淡杯老荣记 Eng Kee's signature fried pork trotter 招牌猪手, I couldn't wait to try it.

Eng Kee's stewed trotter was personally prepared by the lady boss and it had the essence of over thirty years of experience and expertise put into making it.

When an order is received the boss' son will deep fry the stewed pork trotter.

Then, fries the buns and makes the savoury gravy.

Eng Kee 淡杯老荣记 signature pork trotter is ready.

Eng Kee's signature pork trotter tasted great!

Never mind that Eng Kee is located in an industrial area passed its prime and now littered with abandoned shops, untidy car repair workshops and store houses.

The golden brown pork trotter was crispy on the outside, yet it was also moist inside due to the little remaining fat and gelatinous tendons kept intact. The golden orange, savoury gravy had a nice balance of salty and sweet flavours with delicate tangy notes.

I love it that in Johor Bahru, two persons can enjoy a top grade fried pork trotter in savoury gravy for a grand total of RM20 J.

Besides their popular pork trotters 招牌猪手, Eng Kee 淡杯老荣记's other signature dishes is their KL Hokkien Mee.

Eng Kee 淡杯老荣记 is one place to impress your friends that you are in the know about Johor food - by finding delicious food even in the most unlikely corners of JB J.

Pork Knuckles @ The Bierhaus in Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Bahru

Pork knuckles is one of my favourite dishes. So when I heard about The Bierhaus in Taman Johor Jaya, I immediately made up my mind to pay it a visit.

The German pub is tucked in a cosy corner of Damian Bowl Complex along Jalan Dedap 3. I simply love the unpretentious, convivial ambiance here. The clientele is relaxed, cheerful and seemed to be very familiar with each other and the friendly staff. The pub was filled on a Monday evening with people having dinner, drinking, chatting happily or playing pool.

The bar is well stocked with all kinds of local and imported beers as well as wines, whiskies and other liquor.

They even have a brightly lit family dining area outside the bar to cater for families with children who want a good German meal.  


Crispy pork knuckles for RM49

The crispy pork knuckle is indeed crackly, crispy. The crackly skin is my favourite part of pork knuckles. The fats were still juicy while the lean meat was relatively dryer. Taste wise, it felt subtly salty and was lightly flavoured. Dipping the meat in the three different types of sauces (traditional BBQ, tangy Thai spicy chili and a pineapple based dip) helped boosted the meat’s slight flavour. Chili sauce in a large squeeze bottle was also provided.

 

Buttered French beans for RM6



The buttered French beans were excellent. Crunchy fresh beans with rich butter fragrance and taste – so simple, yet so nice!

I really love the friendly ambiance and cheerful banter here at The Bierhaus and would definitely be back for the other traditional German offerings on their menu, especially their Guinness pork knuckle J
