By the time
I write this post, Sherie and I already visited Newton Roast twice. 1st time we
went, it was a private tasting session hosted for bloggers. The meat was so
good that we couldn't have enough and were craving for them ever since. So 2
weeks later, we brought our close friends there. The standard of the meat was
pretty much the same, except for a very slight difference in the tenderness of
the meat. 2nd visit was slightly better, probably because 2nd visit we got to
eat the meat while it was still warm. 1st visit, the meat already turned cold
by the time it reached our mouth.
Shall not
keep everyone waiting, so here's my review proper.
Knock Out : German Pork Knuckle
1st time I
ate this, I was totally taken by surprise!
The 1st
thing that flashed across my mind was that there's totally no pork stench at
all, not even a tiny hint of it!!


The next
thing that I noticed, was that the pork knuckle had a similar taste to the
Cantonese roasted pork aka "Sio Bak" in Hokkien. This was probably
due to some secret marinate recipe used by the chef.
On top of that, the skin was well roasted and expanded to a nice thickness with a perfect crisp.
The meat
was so tender and would not get stuck in between the teeth.
Before I
discovered Newton Roast, German Pork Knuckles were not in my "die die must
eat" list. I've tried this dish from a few other places and they all had
varying levels of stench in the meat; I've even tried ones with rubbery
textured skin and ones with very tough meat.
Newton
Roast by far sells the best German Pork Knuckles that I've eaten.
Six Pack : Pork Belly
Hmm, after
writing so much about the pork knuckle, this part I'll keep it short, as my
comments would be pretty much similar.
As you can
see, six pack refers to stomach muscle, and it is easy to relate the name to
the German roasted pork belly.
Same as the
pork knuckle, the skin was thick and crispy, meat was tender and had very
little fats.
The taste
was also very similar to the pork knuckle, but on a lighter side and I could
taste the original sweetness of the
meat.
Personally,
I would prefer the pork knuckle slightly over the pork belly. But to be honest,
I will not be able to just settle with ordering either of them when I visit
them the next time, because both are simple too tempting to resist.
Some Finer Things in Life
Some other
finer stuff worth a mention, was that with every order you get a small serving
of Sauerkraut (fermented sour cabbage). You can actually request for bigger
servings.
Unlike
other Sauerkraut I've tried before, this one was not too sour, and somewhat
tasted like the "chye por" toppings from a famous Chuey Kuay stall in
Tiong Bahru.
Each order also
came with 3 types of sauce dips: chilli sauce, mustard sauce and brown sauce (black pepper).
All 3
sauces complimented the meat well and had their own unique ways to enhance the
taste of the meat. However, I'm someone who prefers original taste, so I went
light on the dips, to get the most out of the original flavour.
Price and How to Order
1 whole
pork knuckle for the price of $39.90.
1 standard
portion of pork belly for the price of $33.90 (approx 500g)
In my
opinion, the taste is well worth the price.
The portion was just nice for our group of 6 (3 guys & 3 gals).
To ensure
you get the freshest roast hot from the oven, I would recommend to make a
pre-order through their website, rather than just walk in.
Ordering is
very easy, and as a first time user, I've done it in less than 5 mins on my
smartphone.
Once you
place an order, you will receive a sms on the designated mobile number. To
confirm the order, simply click on the url found in the sms.
You will
receive another sms with an order number once the order is cofirmed.
Remember,
the order is not considered as confirmed if you do not receive the 2nd sms
containing the order number.
Calling out to all meat lovers! This is definitely a must-go foodie place for you!
