Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu @ Dinsor Road - Michelin Guide restaurant

This restaurant has just one signature dish - Pad Thai.  


Pad Thai and BBQ pork loin

The Pad Thai came in very small portion at Baht 190 (SGD 7.60) but it was delicious and the pork loin is so tender because it is Berkshire Pork.  

What is Berkshire pork? Berkshire pork is prized around the world for its richness, succulent texture, marbling, and complexity of flavour. The taste of Berkshire pork is unlike that of any other meat, carrying a distinct flavour that is far from bland, mild, or generic like other types of pork.

What are these pigs from? Berkshire pork comes from a heritage breed pig. With a long history that goes back some 300 years in England, this black-and-white pig is highly regarded for juicy, tender, and flavorful pork which is heavily marbled with fat. Known as Kurobuta pork in Japan, Berkshire is to pork what wagyu is to beef.

Crispy Berkshire Pork

This is one dish to avoid as the taste of the pork is not very delicious and bland.  There is no taste to the pork with a huge layer of fat that does not melt in your mouth.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
