It's a full pork fest at S.Wine, the non-halal cafe situated inside Ben's Independent Grocer (BIG) at Publika in Solaris Dutamas.
First up is the pork burger; juicy, thick and succulent. Accompanied by
crispy fries and a side of coleslaw, it's almost perfect. Highly recommended.
The Serrano ham with melon was good.
The watermelon and longan salad was a clever mix of sweet, savory and tangy.
Spaghetti carbonara had too much sauce for our liking. It was runny even after mixing in the raw egg yolk.
The spaghetti aglio olio on the other hand was excellent, al-dente pasta with juicy mushrooms and crispy roasted pork in a light olive oil (and lard) sauce. Recommended.
The Hainanese pork chop is very popular. Quite a large serving and good for sharing. Old school tomato based sauce and lots of crispy fries on the side.
The Lemongrass Pork Chop on the other hand is served with rice, duck with salted vegetable soup and an omelet. The well marinated pork chop is great with the rice. Recommended.
The roast pork rice was served with the same duck with salted vegetable soup, which is quite nice. The roasted pork was good but not exceptional.
The rice with pork cutlets was tasty and somewhat better than the roasted pork. It came with the same soup too!
Overall, good food and good service too. They don't take reservations so go early for lunch or dinner to get a table as the limited number of tables gets filled very quickly.
If you still have place for desserts, go to the Plan B Roasters outside and have a choice of cake with the excellent coffee there.
