E42T: 42 East Restaurant & Bar, TTDI luscious PORK Burger, Nyonya Pork Belly Pong Teh & really spicy Devils Curry!

Impressed with the ribs and porky delights here from my last visit (read about the luscious ribs HERE ), I was thrilled when Sean blogged that E42T has since expanded their menu and one of the new additions includes a fat juicy pork burger.

As usual, weeks turned into months as I tried to make time to come savour E42Ts pork burger.
Works been crazy lately; which although is a fabulous thing (more business is always awesome no?), it has left me with barely any time for me to catch up on personal matters, like my food hunts & my passive income business, Auruma International. For Malaysia, weve got our investment blog here; of which my article is 3 weeks due!

Yes, works been a bitch. And when the going gets tough, the tough gets eating! ;-)
Skewed philosophy I know, hehe, but it works. After all, who wont be cheered with this in their hands?

42 East Restaurant & Bars Pork Burger (RM22++) is a huge ensemble of thick juicy patty, pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, etc sandwiched in a specially made bun. The bun was neither too doughy or dry and was just of the right texture to eat with the patty.

Heres a cross section shot! Hungry yet? ;-)

And another one; just because I want to make you drool.

The patty was good. It has a good ratio of meat to fat; and it effectively retained the juiciness of the swine within its cavity.Im loving the pickled condiments it came with too; for at least it imparts some piquancy to the whole burger, rather than the normal bland lettuce leaves & slices of tomatoes. Its worthy to note that they were generous with the sides of fries and vegetables as well.

Overall, I think its pretty value for money; with both quantity & quality factors taken into consideration. All of this goes for RM22++.

IMHO, nothing beats Andes Pork Burgers for RM13.90 RM15.90. Still, this was way better than D Legends Bar (review still in draft *sigh*), SMores Bar Restaurant in Bangsar South (review still in draft *sigh sigh*)&Brussels. And you do not have to wait for nearly an hour for your burger, like how a few friends reportedly did when they went to Nambawan.

As I was really hungry, I added an order of the Peranakan Pork Belly Pong Teh as well. I mean, how could anyone resist the words pork belly ??

Pork Belly Pong Teh - tender pork belly with alternating layers of melt-in-the mouthfat & chunks of potatoes that has absorbed all the spices and flavours of the gravy. Best eaten with rice I reckon.

Orders generally took a while to be served, of which I will assume it means that the dishes are not pre cooked & then warmed up prior to serving. The Pork Belly Pong Teh however, met with my disapproval as it was sodium laden enough to pickle the whole bowl. Im of low sodium tolerance yes, but even my dining & fellow business partners Daniel & Nigel concurred on my verdict.

Anyhow, my bowl was immediately changed when I voiced my displeasure to one of the waiters. Good service indeed. Im happy to report that the replaced bowl of Pong Teh was of much bearable salt levels & its tasty enough to recommend.

The Pork devil curry is a must for those who love their food with heat. This one packs enough to knock down those who are of less fiery tolerance.You are forewarned.

While I agree with Nigel that usingsmoked bacon back soft ribs makes all the difference in this dish, I do hope that the chef could reduce the sodium levels. It was too salty for me but I guess it would be alright for everyone else if you were to eat it with a lot of bread.

Well, its one happy fruitful meeting with a solid business model, good food & fabulous business partners. Lets hope I get my trading on Auruma International going now that Im all geared up to go!
