Thick Cut Cha Shu, Braised Mushroom, Minced Pork, Spring Salsa, Pickles, Furikake, Soy Marinated Egg.
From one of the lesser heard dining establishments at the revamped Funan; The Pops Cafe, opened by the same folks behind The Populus Food & Coffee Co. at Neil Road. Serving up wraps and rice bowls, this was the Deluxe version which comes with the Soy Marinated Egg. Almost akin to a cross breed of a Mazesoba and Lu Rou Fan but served in a rice bowl format, the Pops 'Cha Shu' was no doubt comforting and satisfying; the Thick Cut Cha Shu being fatty, juicy, soft and tender; almost melt-in-the-mouth whilst carrying a savoury flavour without a porky stench — possibly prepared through the sous-vide method. The minced pork provides some bite, adding texture yet complimenting all that meatiness while the spring salsa and pickled cucumbers add a crunch and a refreshing zing that cuts through the meatiness. Soy Marinated Egg was no doubt a crowd pleaser with its molten egg whilst carrying a light hint of savoury flavour from the marination. A pretty satisfying and comforting bowl that we pretty much enjoyed.
