[2025 Hong Kong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Porker (Updated Aug)

Last month, I had to reschedule a birthday dinner with friends because I fell ill. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate the new date in early September. We chose a Japanese restaurant and dessert spot, and had a delightful and satisfying evening together. We started our evening at Porker in Central for dinner. The last time I visited, it was at their old location, and I fell in love with the place. The new location feels more spacious, but there was a slight sewer smell that somewhat marred the dining experience. We ordered the homemade pork dumplings for $75, which were crispy and fragrant. The juicy pork filling was delicious. The potato salad for $70 was visually appealing. The smooth and creamy mashed potatoes had a rich potato flavor, complemented by various vegetables and sesame dressing, making it very flavorful. The okra with plum sauce for $55 had a unique texture that I really enjoyed. The slightly sour plum sauce was refreshing and appetizing. The Porker set meal for $240 featured crispy and non-greasy aged pork sirloin cutlets. The low-fat, tender, and juicy pork had a sweet flavor without any unpleasant porky taste. The pork tenderloin was equally soft and flavorful, served with fragrant rice and miso soup, making it a very satisfying meal. The cheese pork patty set with bacon tomato sauce for $190 is a must-try for cheese lovers. The crispy on the outside, soft on the inside pork patty with salty cheese was incredibly flavorful. The tangy bacon tomato sauce added a refreshing touch, making it even more delicious. The pork ribeye cutlet rice bowl with soft egg for $220 was another highlight. Mixing the runny egg yolk with the rice and pork ribeye created a wonderful blend of flavors, with the aroma of the meat and egg filling the mouth.

Porker, located on Kok Lin Street in Central, specializes in Japanese pork chop There is usually a long queue when I pass by Today is a weekday at 6:30 to get a seat😬 There are many choices on the menu with appetizers, set meals, curries and so on I ordered a Full House Set (Pork Broiler Cheese Pork Cake Pork Fillet). Same Porker Set (Pork Broiler Pork Fillet) Add a glass of Happy Hour peach and plum wine🥃 Since they use mature pork, the meat is more fluffy and tender The outer layer of the gillette is very crispy😍 The cheese pork cake was quite amazing. The cheese and pork used were great 👍🏾 His cauliflower salad with sesame dressing is very delicious😋 The meal comes with bean curd soup and small side dishes Overall the food is quite satisfactory is the pricing is relatively high 🫣 Please note that the restaurant is closed every Monday Tuesday to Sunday 11 to 3 / 6 to 9 #Central #CentralFood #CentralGood Places #GillPorkChop #JapaneseStyleGillPorkChop

Waffles has wanted to try Porker for a long time, and finally got the chance to try it before the end of 2022. I passed by there before 2pm on Christmas Eve and there were only a few people waiting in line for a table, so #Wofuandshrimpcakes decided to have lunch here. There are many piglet decorations in the restaurant, but what attracted Waffle the most was the "giant cabbage" on the wall. I went to Porker just to eat #GillettePig, so I only focused on the waffles and shrimp cakes on this page of the menu and ordered a Full House set meal ($220) and a Gillette aged pork eye set meal (limited) ($200). Those who don’t eat pork can choose braised pork with ginger. If you don’t eat pork, you can choose shrimp. Shortly after placing the order, white rice and pork miso soup were delivered. The only minus point that day was that the rice was not presented nicely enough. At first I thought the rice portion was a little small, but later I found out that if you order two meals you can get unlimited additional rice and cabbage. Pork miso soup is sweeter than regular miso soup because it contains richer ingredients such as pork, onions, and carrots. Let me first introduce the Full House Set Meal ($220), where you can try three types of dishes at once: well-cooked pork sirloin, pork fillet and cheese pork patty. The outside of the patty is crispy and not greasy. It’s no wonder that there is a queue for a table at around 2pm for such a high standard. Warm reminder: the lava cheese in the cheese pork patty is very hot, so be careful not to burn your mouth. The Gillette Aged Pork Eye Set Meal (limited) ($200) is a pleasant surprise. Aged pork eye has more fat than sirloin and pork tenderloin, and the meat is tenderer, juicier, and has a stronger meat flavor. It is highly recommended. Next to the Gillette pork chop there is not only shredded cabbage, but also a ball of mashed potatoes, which tastes good. The shredded cabbage is cut very finely, and you can add sour sauce or sesame paste according to your personal taste. I personally like to add sour sauce to the waffles, which tastes fresh and appetizing, and can also relieve greasiness. When the shredded cabbage was almost finished, the waiter came over to refill the dish, which was worthy of praise. #porker Address: G/F, 26 Cochrane Street, Central #waffles and shrimp crackers food in central #waffles and shrimp crackers food japanese food #centralfood #foodieincentral #japanesefood #foodie #hkfoodie
