Marinated pork knuckle @ Joy Hing

Joy Hing Roasted Meat (Wan Chai)

I have not been here for ages but recently someone asked me to recommend a place for Roast pork hence I recommended this place.

I decided to give it a revisit to check out the roast pork again and this time I tried their marinated item as well because it is nice as well according to the reviews.

Marinated pork knuckle:

The pork knuckle tasted ok, the flavouring was not too strong or sweet but it was not soft enough.

Roast pork:

The roast pork was a bit dry and lean this time, there were only a few pieces too, so hopefully the person I recommended will get a better cut that is not too lean or fat.

Marinated porks trotters @ Lo Pak

Lo Pak Restaurant (Wan Chai)

Went to Lo Pak's randomly because I could not think of anything to eat and bumped into Jamel.

Pork trotters and tofu:

As I have tried almost everything, I decided to try the porks trotters because I have not tried them before.
They were boneless and sliced neatly but a little too dry for my liking.
The tofu fared better but it was slightly oily.
Both items were not too salty which was good and the vinegar provided neutralised the oilyness and made it more appetizing.

Marinated pork trotters @ Original Taste

I don't know why, but the pork trotters looked good in the product shot so I decided to get them.

 

When I ordered the pork trotters she asked if I wanted the marinated ones or the ones in wine, so I ordered the marinated ones.
While I was waiting I had a look at the wine snacks and I will probably get the chicken gristles in wine next time.

Marinated pork trotters:

 

The pork trotters were piping hot.
I liked the way the trotters had been cut cleanly and had straight edges.
The bones had plenty of bone marrow inside the bone too.
The texture of the pork trotters were not too soft and tasted quite nice, however I prefer the vinegar marinade because it got a bit sickly after eating two pieces.

Pork trotters with a thick layer of oil

Came here for some pork trotters, when it came I could smell strong oil which was not that pleasant!

When I looked at the dish there was so much oil floating on top!

 

 

The taste of the pork trotters were ok, but I didnt like the oil.
I put a fork into the sauce, and the layer of oil was about 5mm thick!
