#pork chop
Dinner is Fried Rice with Specially Marinated Pork Chop(招牌猪排蛋炒饭) from Feng Food(台湾味“丰”) at Northpoint City. To encourage more customers to buy home to eat, there is a 10% discount for all takeaway meals so this dinner cost S$11.05 instead of the usual S$12.30.
Mum usually buys a bowl of these plump and succulent Pork & Shrimp Dumplings Soup(水饺汤) on the way back from her marketing trip to Chong Pang. In addition to the former, I also had a pack of Economy Rice(菜饭) with a large piece of fried pork chop, stewed preserved Chinese mustard & pork (梅菜扣肉) with peanuts and a serving of stir-fried bitter gourd with rice.
“Even what we call our material desires are spiritual, because they are human. Science can analyse a pork-chop, and say how much of it is phosphorus and how much is protein; but science cannot analyse any man’s wish for a pork-chop, and say how much of it is hunger, how much custom, how much nervous fancy, how much a haunting love of the beautiful. The man’s desire for the pork-chop remains literally as mystical and ethereal as his desire for heaven.”
- GK Chesterton, Heretics

Just gonna take a moment to celebrate the Taiwan pork chop from the previous post! with a photo from my mom’s fave childhood spot in Taiwan. It really is amazing how food transcends time and grounds us in the cultural memory of those dear to us. Bon appétit! Itadakimasu!
