Perfectly cooked pork, with the optimal portion of meat and fat so the texture won't be dry. Take it with the special sauce from Melaka, which is their peanut sauce with pineapple.
Traditionally sweet and spicy peanut sauce now add in a sour pineapple flavour on it make the overall experience a unique from what we had. A good snack in the evening or supper in Melaka.
