Seasoned with fermented bean curd, the Braised Pork Belly with Yam was really good.

Pork belly often let people have the impression of fat and oily, but this one was good, with its bite-size of 3 layers of skin, fat and meat, you can taste the crunchiness and not too oily.

Chef cooked the part of pig’s cheek for this Crispy Nam Yu Pork which is more tender. Fried till crispy, but overall didn’t tasted that oily. In older time when there was no refrigerator, the chicken was cooked with salt so that it can be kept for few days. The remains will steam again to reheat before served it for another meal. To retain the taste and flavor of old times, chef cooked the chicken first, then marinated it overnight with salt and then steamed it again before serve to the customer. Hence, it is normal if you find the texture is a bit chewy, somehow it brought back the old memory.

On top of that, it was not oily at all, suitable for the health conscious people especially old folks. Try the Hot Pepper Pig Stomach Soup if you are more to the heavy taste. The spiciness of pepper was not too excessive but flavorful, and the pig stomach was well cooked to remain the springiness of it.

FOOD REPUBLIC One Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya

by www.ohfishiee.blogspot.com

For the past 20 years, food court has always given me a bad impression for its unhygienic and filthy state. However, not until when I came across the Food Republic at One Utama Shopping Centre. Its uptrend interior had changed my old perception of food court dining experience to the fresh outlook of new insights. It is located at the rainforest section, with a bridge connecting 2 sitting areas of the food court, now can you imagine how big it is? The 13,000 sqft food atrium can seat 550 customers at maximum capacity! With a total of 15 tenants for hawker food and express outlets, I was very impressed with the good services provided from each stall. Serving both local and international cuisines, there must be something that can nicely satisfied your taste bud.


Food Republic I 67

Salmon Pepper Rice with Cheese (RM12.90; add RM2 for cheese)

My all-time favorite at Food Republic was this hot sizzling plate from Pepper Lunch Express. The iron plate had generous amount of fresh Norwegian salmon, rice, corns and some hidden delicious cheese. All I need to do was mixed it up evenly while it was still hot to let it cooked well. How simple it was for a filling meal! Originated from Japan, Pepper Lunch is famous for its signature pepper and salty honey sauce. Add it according to your own preference, both are also flavorful condiments to spice up the dish!


Food Republic I 68

BBQ Chicken Drumstick Rice (RM7.90)

I have strong liking at the chicken rice from Hong Kong Roast. With the crispy roasted skin, the meat was savory and the fatty parts were nicely done too.

Chef roasted the meat in Chinese style with this superb sauce until the skin was cooked to sticky sweet perfection.
