The pork belly is so tender and it is drizzled with the full flavoured sauce. This is a well balanced dish with the potato foam and onsen egg on the side.
The pork belly is cooked in kakuni style and served with duxelle mushroom, onsen egg (eggporn alert!) and a velvety smooth potato foam. Croutons, bacon bits and spring onion garnish were added for that additional texture and flavour. When served, break the egg, mix it well before taking each element of the dish and piling them up on a spoon and directing them into your mouth. Warning: this is a highly addictive pork belly dish that will bring you to flavour-town.

[Bukit Merah] Located in the Salute Coffeeshop, Immanuel French Kitchen needs no further introduction as their Pork Belly ($16.90) dish is such a popular hit that people are willing to travel that far just to have a piece of that melts-in-your-mouth goodness.

Croutons, bacon bits and spring onion garnish were added for that additional texture and flavour.

I tried this about a year ago, and it's great to see that the standard has not dropped. The pork belly itself is melt-in-your-mouth tender. It isn't too fatty, so it'll still appeal to most people out there. It is also incredibly well-marinated and chock-full of flavour. The accompanying potato foam was smooth and creamy. While this may not appeal to all, I actually really liked the sprinkling of bacon bits, spring onions and croutons- it added a nice crunchy texture to the dish. Sautéed mushrooms were also really well-done. There was also a runny onsen egg, which is always a welcome addition and always makes a dish more impressive. While each item is impressive on its own, the flavours came well together to make for quite the excellent meal. It is a little pricey though, coming in at $16.90, but I would say it's worth a try!
Ever since my first time at Immanuel French Kitchen, I trusted in their quality and their excellence at preparing their food. It's been a while since I went back but I had the chance to finally try the famous pork belly. The main event, the pork belly, was really good; it was just nice in terms of tenderness, and it isn't too fatty. The pork didn't have any porky smell or taste either; it was really the star of the show. The side dishes were also good, with the mushrooms having a great texture and flavor, and the potato foam being soft, compact, and creamy. The only thing is that the excessive bacon bits made the dish taste a bit cheap as those bits just don't match up in quality compared to the other ingredients. That kinda dampened the 'style' and class of this dish. For 16 bucks this was also slightly pricey. I would rather have the duck confit.

Eating this was like conducting a treasure hunt, first I uncovered a perfectly poached onsen egg, next was the duxelle mushrooms hidden under all that thick fatty pork belly. In the topic of pork belly, I find it rather disappointing. The pork seemed to be in the sauna too long, it was rather tough for ah ma liu 👵 to eat.
Foamed Potato, soft egg, soft tender pork belly and loads of mushrooms. 👍
Everything including the potato foam complemented so well I wished we ordered more! You'd be surprised as this store is situated within a coffee shop at AV & alongside other pretty decent & good dishes! Will be back for more delights but at a better timing cause the queues are insane!
