While there were certainly times when my opinions creeped into my writing to places I definitely don't recommend, & many various items that I've snapped but have never appeared on my feed. Until today, I'm really pleased to share with y'all one of the best dishes I've had & stood out above all this year.
.
I must admit that I've not had too many encounters with pork. Using premium Iberico pork, Botanico has created its own interpretation of Char Siew - a popular local dish of pork marinated & barbecued to a charred, sticky-sweet-savoury, succulent perfection. Almost heart-stopping after the first mouth, where you get the devilish juicy, robust & tender meat going from tongue to throat, dripping with painstakingly refined caramelised smoky balance. The carrot noodles, smear of sherry sauce & purple sorrel are not for show either.
.
This is one of the myriad of dishes that will hold a permanent place in my heart & have me going back again & again if only it'll always be there for me. Unfortunately though, sweetness of this love is short-lived, as this has been made exclusively available only from ✨30 June - 9 July to celebrate SBG's Heritage Festival 2017.
