Recommended by Mark Wiens and 9 other food critics.
"One of their ultimate signature dishes – and looking around the restaurant while we were eating I didn’t see anyone without it – is their home recipe double roasted pork. They had a version of just regular, and one fried with chili padi. Anytime I see a dish with chili included in the name, that’s a no brainer for me. It’s a must if you love pork."

"A dish that glorifies all tastes and flavors in every bite. It had a wonderful blend of saltiness, spicy, sourness, and a hint of sweetness, with another hint of an herby flavor from what I believe was torch ginger flower."

"I ate Tek Sen’s double-cooked pork on multiple occasions. The best $4 you’ll ever spend. This is the only pork dish I’ve eaten where I’m keen to lick the thin slick of pork fat from the bottom of the plate."

"The star of the show was definitely the Double Roasted Pork with Chili Padi! It was so addictive and tasty, I could easily finish another plate by myself if I didn’t control myself."

"The pork is tender and sweet, caramelized even, with an occasional crunch. We were hooked, there wasn’t enough."

"I like how my Asam fish is, sourness is stronger and aftertaste of it is a bit spicy at the end. Curry gravy is not too thick and is just perfect to mix with your rice to eat along."

"Fried till a bit crips on the head, a bit spicy with chili padi, caramelize coated on the meat and usually we had 2 plates of this. Highly recommended."

"It was so satisfying to be able to sink my teeth into THICK, tender pieces of meat in a sweet and sour dish!"

"The signature dish double roasted pork lived up to its reputation as being worth travelling for. I usually avoid fried food, but this was amazing."

"Overall the food was excellent and very flavorful. I definitely recommend the assam fish and steamed egg a lot. The assam fish has a strong flavor of kencong, you could taste the spiciness from curry and the sweetness from pineapple which make it taste authentic Malaysian."
