Premium PORK @ Sanbanto, SS2

after a few turns we decided to dine at this place
there are already numerous reviews on this place..good and not so good reviews
as we know, the definition of 'delicious' is very subjective
but to me, this dining experience has been nothing but awesome

saw this porky illustration on their menu, its so cute..

Sanbanto do sounds like Japanese name right?? but, its actually a place located at Johor some where near Kluang and Mersing..they had their own piggy place.. what they emphasize was that their piggy doesn't take hormon growth supplement...These pigs are fed a special type of bacillus using a Japanese technology..they even had ISO 22000 and haccp which i think is good..

they sell fresh pork..all kinds of cuts..its all up to your choice..

the place is pretty small.i bet its going to pretty noisy once its packed with people..don't expect dim lighting or comfortable leather seating like elcerdo..its just a place for you to have a good meal..people that are friendly too..

now lets go the food

pork belly salad (rm 13)

if you like pork belly, you will like this..its like sinful to eat those fat porky but with the crisp greens, i guess it doesn't really matter..the pork belly we had that day was really crispy but i don't really favor the honey-mustard dressing, its too thick for me..not easy to coat the salads..

BBQ ribs (rm 38)

one dish that carmen and i both favored is the BBQ ribs...its a pretty long ribs and according to them one side is the ribs that join with the loin if im not mistaken..it goes very well with the BBQ sauce and best eaten when it is still warm..a good proportion between the tender meat and the fatty portion of the ribs..yummy yummy..carmen say the fat is like just melted in your mouth..and i also like their corn on cobs..two thumbs up for this!!!!!!!!!

cheese meat balls

she missed her meat balls from the hawker stall..so this is to substitute it..the meat balls are soft and the pork taste is not too strong..i dislike meat balls that had too heavy smell of porky..and with those slight salty cheese, its good especially when its still piping hot..

pork bolognese with home made pappardelle (rm 17)

the pasta is just al dente..nothing too soft nor too hard..and the taste of the pork bolognese that goes with it combined well..its like as though you are having mommy's home cooking meal..very comfortable dish..and besides that, there is another gem that we found in it which is the fried pork lard..of course, i do prefer if they would sprinkle it on top of the pappardelle..yet, we still enjoyed this...

there are still other dishes we yet to try..so can't wait for the next visit..half a year later maybe after my interns?? haha

next destination, went to the custom made teddy bear station to made my teddy bear

its to resemble carmen so i could bring her along..haha

its a fun experience doing 'Bee Bee' from choosing the skin till fitting in, measuring, weighing, doing spa and changing clothes..the next cloth im buying is the chef cloth..love it!!!

only one in the whole wide world..

next destination????
