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.

Pop over to BLT Steak for a scrummy popover

Located right at the basement of LCX, this restaurant faces the Harbour, if it happens to be a clear day you can see right accross to the Hong Kong side, but highly unlikely in this heavily polluted air city.

 

Sometimes there is also a big cruiser blocking the view.

I mainly wanted to try this place because of the buffet style starters and the popovers.

 

 

Popovers are basically an American version of Yorkshire puddings.
The food here is brilliant but there are insects flying in the salad area and tables.

Steak and eggs:

 

Burnt and too tough

Delicious!

Spinach popover:

 

 

This was delicious but the creamed spinach could have been put aside because it made the popover soft.

Salad:

 

Various delicious salads and cheeses.

Desserts:

 

 

 

The panna cotta was really nice and creamy and I loved the generous vanilla seeds at the bottom.
