Porkie's, Kuching

We went to Porkie's with great anticipation. Wife's collegues were talking about it. Aunties were drooling over it. The place is located at Jalan Song, behind One Jaya, The Lifestyle Mall.

It was drizzling when we were reaching the restaurant at around 5.30 pm. The signboard "PORKIE'S" is bright and huge. Not easy to be missed. Being tired turning the house upside down, Son slept while we walked around the place and placed our orders.

There are open air spaces and air-conditioned place. We chose the alfresco place. The air-conditioned space was filled with smoke smell. Not family friendly. But we found out later that there is indeed another air-conditioned space, adjacent to the smoky one.

Drinks selection mostly consists of beers and alcoholic beverages. The price are high starting with RM2.00 for a glass of drinking water. Not RM0.50 meh?

Never mind. The highlight of the day that everyone is talking about. BBQ Pork rib. We ordered mixed meat of sort at around RM30. Which comes with husk corn, fries, BBQ chicken, mutton and pork rib.

Corn was tasty. Nice
Chicken meat was quite nice.
Mutton was as expected. Nice. I hadn't tasted bad tasting mutton before though.

BBQ PORK RIB. A LET DOWN! It all about.. rib bones. Hardly any meat and it tasted dry. Bland dry. Give me char siew meat anywhere in Kuching and it'll taste better. I remember seeing the word "juicy" to describe the BBQ Pork rib.

We ordered spaghetti as well which is, sadly, below par. Too dry. And we'll among the early birds to try the food.

We spent about RM50 for the meal. Definitely not a family place with beer bottles lining at every corners of Porkie's.

Rating should be around 5/10 at best.
