This roasted Kurobuta pork belly ($12 nett) from either Monti or Meatsmith at the recently concluded Savour at Christmas Wonderland was the most criminally underrated dish there.

A massive portion of pork belly is roasted to perfection, roughly sliced up into mammoth sized chunks, and served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes. Meatsmith really do know what they’re doing with their meats, as this Kurobuta pork belly bowled me right over. In fact, this could easily be the best pork belly in Singapore.

The rind is impossibly crunchy and every bite produces a loud crackling. The fat is wobbly and well cooked, as evidenced by the lack of a porky stench and the fat partially melting in your mouth. The meat is even better, with a superb seasoning job being done on it. The meat is juicy, tender and oh so delicious, and it all forms the perfect belly to get into your belly. It pairs perfectly with the housemade sweet mustard that you can drizzle on the side, and a plastic cup of prosecco .

Thanks for the invite @jonathanwong!
