Tonight’s dinner is loco moco. Comfort food.

What’s your comfort food?

I actually have to make some. It’s a rare thing, really. Not something you’re going to find at the grocery store. Could be totally a Hawai’i only thing. I’ve never seen it anywhere outside of Hawai’i… but it is a staple.

It should look like this….

Now every family has their own little tweaks. I prefer actual grated coconut in mine and sometimes grated mac nuts. Some people like a drizzle of chocolate. Others, green tea. But regardless, it’s all good.

I really should make some.

Actually it’s less of a musing and more of a sharing.

Macao Roast Pork. One of my favourite dishes. Done especially perfect by Golden City in San Diego, CA.

So good that I took a friend from Singapore there once… and she side-eyed me because if there is one thing Singapore is known for… it is its skill in making a pork dish from Macao, China. Go figure, Singapore pretty much pwning Macao on its own dish.

I would stack up Golden City’s roast pork to anything Singapore has to offer. And they did NOT fail me… and now I taunt my friend with the memory of the most perfect of crispy and tender roast pork.

Bel-chan, this is for you.
