Sweet and Sour Pork is a Chinese dish that transcends age, class and culture. Children and adults love the dish; little takeaway places serve it, cafes serve it and fine dining restaurants serve it too; and both Chinese and non-Chinese love the dish.

It looks to be a simple dish – deep fried battered pork pieces accompanied by a sweet and sour sauce, capsicum, carrot, onion and pineapple. However if the wrong cut of meat is used, you end up with chewy pieces of pork full of tendons. If the consistency of the batter is not right, the pork pieces are not crispy. And the sweet and sour sauce has to have the correct thickness (cornflour can be a tricky ingredient for novice cooks) and the right balance of sweet and sourness.



Surprisingly, one of the best Sweet and Sour Pork dish we have tasted is from Ga Bin , a Korean Restaurant. Their dish ticked all the boxes – crispy pork pieces with tender meat, sweet and sour sauce with right thickness and crunchy vegetables.



Kingdom Chinese's Sweet & Sour Pork is ranked second on our list because the batter was not as crispy as Ga Bin's, but it was still enough to make it delectable.



Third on our list is Chanay Restaurant . Again it is the quality of the batter that tips the scale.



T-Chow's Sweet and Sour Pork was tasty but we find the batter coating a bit too soggy for our taste.



The other restaurants that we have enjoyed tasty Sweet and Sour Pork are Penang Restaurant and Hong Kee Restaurant . Both had pieces of pork that were of a generous size which helps to make the dish enjoyable to eat.



Where's your favourite Sweet and Sour Pork? My father loves Sweet and Sour Pork so it is our fall back dish when we are not sure or cannot agree on the dishes to order.
