Sakura Pork @ Spring Golden Restaurant, Shah Alam

(Non-Halal Post)

Here's Part 2 of Spring Golden Restaurant as I mentioned last Monday. After the lunch I had last week at Spring Golden, I looked forward to trying out the Sakura Pork variety. Kei Kei called me up to let me know that her brother could prepare it over the weekend and without hesitation, I told her that I'll be there with my family for lunch. So came Sunday, off we went to Glenmarie and Precious Pea was also there with her family (we sat right next to each other and talked about...what else...food! Hahaha...).

Lonely rice waiting for meat :o)

First on the table - Taiwan Style Roast Sausages. Since men (and women) cannot live on char siew with rice alone, we ordered a plate of this along with some wantans and a plate of vegetables. My sis-in-law was disappointed as she was expecting roast sausages with duck liver and not this variety. Sliced rather thinly (I would have preferred a thicker cut for more oomph!), the meat was finely processed and didn't contain much fats. We liked it but it's only a small role co-star and all attention were diverted elsewhere when the main star appeared shortly after at our table ;o)

The BBQ Sakura Pork in all its glory - Wonderful tasty pieces. Those that were lean were still very tender to bite whereas those with fats melted away in our mouth. So, what is Sakura Pork? Boolicious wrote this in my comment box earlier, "Sakura pork is a type of pig which is fed lactobacilius, kinda like a free range pig". That explains it, but I guess what mattered more to us hungry folks as that time was how good was Sakura Pork going to be. My whole family enjoyed this and my mom (being all moms...) gave her seal of approval and said that it was nice. You see, I would take my mom out for meals that I find tasty and when I ask her how's the food, she would usually say "Okaylah". Hahaha...

Sitting next to Precious Pea, I was asked to try a piece of the Roast Chicken that Mr P ordered. I had a small piece and found it quite tender but a tad salty for me. I guess it's best eaten with rice.

I would still say the best dish Spring Golden Restaurant has is the BBQ Pork - Char Siew, be it the normal "crystal" version or the Sakura Pork variety. My nephews enjoyed the normal version as it's has a more crispy bite to it but though tender, we all agreed the Sakura Pork (while it's less crispy on the outside) was more tender of the two. So take your pick, but be sure to call ahead and reserve as the BBQ Pork sells out fast since it's their best seller.
