NOT a food blog
The Pig, if I am not mistaken,
Gives us ham and pork and Bacon.
Let others think his heart is big,
I think it stupid of the Pig.
Pork salad – Secret Supper Partner No.1 declared it a wonderfully delicious salad with a lovely tangy dressing that contrasted beautifully with the pork belly slices.
Enchiladas with pork – We ordered two portions because it was soooo gooooood; Gumbo Soup (with pork)
Roast pork – Secret Supper Partner No.2 wanted more because one slice just wasn’t enough. Brittle, crunchy skin and succulent, tender meat. So delicious!
Chicken pogs – “Have you had all your jabs?” the owner asked. “Yes!” we chorused. “Good! I guess it’s okay for you to have chicken pogs then,” he quipped. Chicken pogs – Deskinned chicken thigh with sausage, wrapped with bacon.
Arrghhh, I forgot to photograph my pork steak! It was juicy and delicious.
BBQ Ribs – Well marinated, no complaints. What”s there not to love anyway!
I apologize. Not EVERYTHING served at the restaurant has pork in it.
********
There is no fixed menu at Ad Hog; the daily menu is dictated by what is fresh for the day. Going to Ad Hog is like eating at home. The owner greets you, and he tells you what you’ll be eating. The chairs are mismatched and there is a decidedly festive air. The restaurant resounds with laughter. Finding Ad Hog is easy with a GPS. There is no signboard, but one can immediately recognise it with its welcoming light in a street shrouded in darkness.
Note: Babi guling is available at lunchtime.

Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Oh but why can’t EVERYTHING served at this lovely restaurant have pork in it? I can certainly of some porcine palate cleansers… maybe bacon ice-cream? (I’ve read on some blog somewhere some lyrical foodblogger recommending this, ahem, ahem.)

LFB: That’s a brilliant idea. The bacon ice cream from the Last Polka would go splendidly with the rest of the (non)menu!
Sean: I can’t believe my good fortune at discovering this place. Will definitely go back many more times. I like the roast pork here. Very tasty.
neko-hime: The salad would be even better when eaten with roast pork as the dressing in it cuts through the oiliness. Quick go visit! 🙂
Kiran: Food photography? Such a big sounding word. I just point and shoot. 🙂
J: I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I have. 🙂

gfad: Porkagraphy? I like that word. I don’t think we rave about it because it’s forbidden. I think we rave about it coz it tastes so good! I mean, nothing can replicate the kuih lapis-like wobbly, firm slices of juicy siew yoke or the tender, melt-in-the-mouth sticky fragrant char siew or the heavenly smell of frying bacon.
ciki: oooh if it’s near your office, you should definitely visit it soon. For me, it’s like going cross country from my office to the restaurant, so I can only go for dinners there. Enjoy!
babe_kl: It is! And I loved every bit of it!
A Lil Fat Monkey: Hehe…shall we go together one day, BFF?
unkaleong: Aiyah, it wasn’t that bad. We all agreed that the food was just nice for the 4 of us.

It’s when you casually drop descriptions like so in your comments that you remind us why we are such fervent followers of your every delicious word… Yummy.
And oh yes, I’m so getting that bacon ice-cream next! 😀

neko-hime: hahaha. so cute la u. (don’t blame you, though!)
Cait: It’s a great place to go to. Very pleasant owners too.
Paps: I agree! Pork all the way at Ad Hog!
LFB: You’re too kind. Can you say nice things like that to me everyday? All I get is FBB’s grumpy “yennadei”. Oh, don’t think the bacon ice-cream is available for sale yet.

Jasmine: My friend, B, got a text from his friend, Diana, who asked him to check out the restaurant with his friend, Lyrical Lemongrass. She apparently has a regular table there. 🙂 Took me 6 weeks to get my butt there, but I’m really glad I did. 🙂 (Thanks, Diana!)

yennadei, so many pork places hor, mushrooming up like zits on a bad skinned teenager. well, looks like i shall have to drag my own ass (which has no doubt been formed by years of porkalogy as well) and ask for lyrical lemongrass’ regular table there. by the way, is the place halal?
