So I was really excited to see that #sunwithmoon has a sprawling Okinawan menu this season. One of the highlights was definitely the Rafute ($10.80). Juicy and tender, this classic Okinawan Braised Pork Belly dish is slow-cooked in Awamori (Okinawa distilled liquor), Okinawan black sugar, and soy sauce. It’s a savory, sweet, home cooked meat dish with a melt in your mouth texture that is found on dinner tables throughout Okinawa, and I guess in Singapore!

Influenced by the Chinese braised pork belly which most of us are familiar with, the dish is surprisingly light despite its outlook as all the fat is rendered from long hours of cooking. Great on its own, the experience really elevates when you pair it with jammy yolked eggs and Japanese rice.
