This recipe is adapted from one of those Hawkers' Fair magazines that feature all the glorious food we get from the hawkers stalls.
I cooked this for the first time during last CNY when Mui, Pit and family came for dinner on the third day. I had some very meaty pork ribs chopped about 2-3 inches in length. But too bad, unable to show any pictures because I never did get to take any. The 2 kgs or so of ribs went so fast I know for sure they were good.
This time, I used pork chops.
500g pork chop, cut into 1cm slices and pound with the back of cleaver
Marinate pork with:
1 T oyster sauce
1 t sugar
1 t salt
1 t sesame oil
1 egg
2 T flour
1 T corn flour
3 T water
Leave for 3 hours or so.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce:
50 ml black vinegar
2 T worcestershire sauce
5 T tomato sauce
5 T plum sauce
3 T sugar
1 t 5-spice powder (optional)
100 ml water
Combine all sauce ingredients and bring to boil.
Then lower heat and cook until sauce thickens a little but not too much because it thickens further when cooled. Season and adjust salt, sugar and vinegar to taste.
Remove from heat.
Pan (or deep) fry pork chop pieces in batches until golden brown. Drain.
To serve, add enough sauce to coat the chops and more if your family is like mine that love to eat rice mix with gravy. Any leftover sauce can be kept for about a week in the fridge.
Suggested serving:
1. With white rice
2. With burger buns layer with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber slices. Make fantastic pork chop burgers.

no, i don't live near TA but i do go there almost everyday to send my daughter to school, so i stopped by to do marketing.
heh....i lived in kk almost all my life, and of course there's also the fact that my family love to eat that's why i know a lot of food joints ;)

Frank, knew tt would get ur attention. btw how's Iris? Look thru my photos and saw d lovely kueh lapis u brought over 2 KK. When can i get d recipe fr Iris's mum? can i post it?
ya..it's sad that the pisang goreng stall @ esso station is also gone...those yummy soggy pisang goreng has been replaced with big signboard straw-fried ones everywhere.
Can can, I'll go swing by to Iris' mom's place and get the recipe from her.
It's a shame Iris doesn't want to learn it, its DELISH, but a helluva lot of work involved.
