Their signature item of braised pork rice topped with a sunny-side up egg has won the hearts of many local gourmets. The glistening sauce is slow-cooked for 10 hours to allow the flavours to mingle and the hand-diced pork to soften; the runny egg yolk is the centrepiece, enrobing every grain of rice with custardy nectar. Fans of spicy food should add a dab of dried radish chilli sauce with anchovies.
