Hot Plate Set of Grilled Pork Chop At Wong Kok Char Chan Teng In Ipoh Parade, Ipoh

If you are thinking of fresh grilled meat like the pork chop or chicken chop, then you should give the grilled pork chop in hot plate at the Wong Kok outlet in Ipoh Parade, which just opened recently. Another of the similar franchise opened a year or two at the De Garden, but I'm specifically mentioning the outlet in Ipoh Parade because the outlet in De Garden doesn't seem to serve very fresh food and cooked food.

I ordered the hot plate set of the grilled pork chop in the Italian red sauce and the set comes with a soup, appetizer as well as a cup of drink. Although the price is on the high side, but then again, it comes with all those stuff, so it kinda worth for the price that we are paying. We can choose either the bosch soup or the cream soup and I choose the latter, I had the iced coffee for my drink. The appetizer was the mango pudding.

The soup was a bit diluted; while the mango pudding has the mango taste, and it's a bit sticky and slimy; but both were well presented. The iced coffee was served in a decent amount, at least I think the amount served is slightly more than the iced coffee from OldTown Kopitiam. Overall, I won't say those taste great, still it is a great way to start a meal though.



Finally come the main course, the grilled pork chop in the Italian red sauce, served in the hot plate, and the hot plate is really hot. I can still see the hot smoke coming out from the pork chop when the dish was served to me. I can understand why the The Italian red sauce is not poured on top of the pork chop, because the hot plate is still cooking the pork chop as I believe the continuous cooking of the meat will then dry up the sauce and make the meat stick to the hot plate.

The presentation of the food is nice and neat and tempting. The pork chop meat is tender and juicy, but I won't hide the fact that there are some fats surrounded the meat which is of course normal for pork. I like the hot plate; it's like having western food served in Asian style and the fact that the plate is really hot and continue to heat up the meat. The Italian red sauce, as expected is the spaghetti sauce and I'm quite surprise that it mixed well with the meat.
