Finally for all my readers, a food post that is not Japanese.Was actually entertaining some Johor college kids who were up in KL for a Scrabble tournament and they were craving for some pork knuckles they sampled last year after cramming for Some Peperiksaan in Malaysia. So here is the star of the evening in all its crispy, juicy, meat, succulent, divine, glorious.....erm, glory (and the servers mentioned that the pork knuckles have somehow become smaller since the hogs managed to escape the pens before being chased into the abattoir).
Since being the 'chaperone' and the only 'responsible' adult of the night, I had to enjoy the occasional pint of imported beer while being the driver. *SWEET* (at least it doesn't taste like piss)
And what is pork knuckle without the famous side, the sauerkraut? At least this one was sour enough (i still perfer Deustch Hans in Changkat Bukit Bintang) but the sauce wasn't that memorable, being slightly oily. Aw, heck! We are here to eat pork knuckles and nothing but pork knuckles.
The kids digging in. That is Chow Xin Wei on the left and Chin Hon Yew on the right.
Skin first, meat later. The skin was really excellent, crispy, crunchy and the thickness was just nice that you can bite on it and it will snap upon you exerting maximum pressure from your jaws. the problem was only the top part of the skin was the crispiest with the lower part a bit below par.The meat underneath was really succulent and more or less made up for the limited amount of crispy skins. Coupled with the sauerkraut and you can eat pork knuckle after pork knuckle (and wash it down with imported beer!!!). My only regret is that I could not take the pork knuckle and rip out the meat with my bare teeth since one has to be a role model for teenagers with proper etiquette.
Here a photo of the shop, located right behind the new OLD TOWN KOPITIAM outlet. Just drive in on either side round the back.

wonder if the one at Damansara Kim serves the same food....
should be, unless it turns out to be a 'halal' version
I use to frequent Euro Deli for its wicked sausages. But with so many new places springing around, ... finding it a bit difficult to go back to same place.
