The Hungry Hog (non-halal ALERT!!!!)

Disclaimer: If you are allergic (physically, emotionally, ethically or religiously) to pork, please kindly ignore this blog post. But...if you (like ME!) adore the very essence that is pork, please read on.

(yes...I still can't believe I use to be vegetarian....sigh)

Few days back, I went over to Subang to meet my old time 'Subang Lake Runners'....well, just a fraction of 'em.

In fact, only two.

(and honestly, they aren't as enthusiastic about running these days.....)

So went to Chubie's to pick him up and since I'm like, the ONLY person amongst us that hasn't been to the Yengzter's new restaurant, the venue of our lunch seemed pretty obvious.

You guys might remember Yengzter from my post about Singapore Marathon 2010.

And since I have a feeling you guys don't, click HERE for that post.

Anyway, here's a little info about Yengzter's foray into the restaurant business.

* My pace-ee......pacing Yengzter from 28th kilomter until the end at Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon last year....his first full marathon!!!

When I first met him (I think I met the dude back in Standard Chartered KL HALF Marathon back in 2009....yea, I haven't become this insane about running just yet), he was stuck in the usual corporate rat race which was making him extremely miserable.

My friend here has a penchant for cooking.

Dude makes the BEST beef stew EVER!!!!

Anyway somewhere in 2010, he gave up his 9 to 5 job, hung up his coat and tie, and started his own venture online called The Hungry Hog.

It was a made to order meat-based items online store.

(and mostly pork, come to think of it.....)

A couple of months back, Yengzter took the plunge and decided to set up shop.

Yup....my buddy here is a bonafide chef (as far as I am concern) and now, a restaurant owner as well.

If you're wondering, the restaurant is called The Hungry Hog.

(big surprise there....)

* Yengzter @ work....

* I LOVE the pork-related posters hung around the restaurant.

* Deco is clean and simple. Definitely a good place to hang out........(if only they do good coffee/tea)

* My lunch date, Chubie......deciding really hard what he wanted for lunch......

So Chubie and I were at The Hungry Hog for lunch.....

The menu is still being polish and upgraded from time to time.

Chubie, a bit more of a regular considering he lives in that same neighbourhood noted some change in the menu this time around.

The restaurant opens for lunch from 12pm until 3pm, then again for dinner from 6-10pm.

Opens everyday except for Mondays.....(which I must try and remember so I'll know when I can buzz Yengzter for tea in Subang)

* The set lunch menu for weekdays....

* The more elaborate main menu.....

I had the Bacon Pasta (omitted the chilli padi).....while Chubie had the Pork Burger.

I had a bit of Chubie's for tasting and I absolutely LOVED the burger!!!

The bun was self baked (Yengzter is fantastic at these sorta stuff!!!) and went well with the tender pork patty.

The pasta was alright......I actually expected a whole lot better.

At time of blogging, their menu only had ONE dessert which is the Chocolate Brownie with Ice cream.

Yes...Yengzter baked it himself as well!!!!

You know me and desserts....and I just HAD to try it.

I know it looked kinda plain-jane and visually bland...but man, this was one of the BEST chocolate brownies I've ever had!!!!

Very moist....good consistensy.....absolutely delicious in taste......yumz!!

(in fact I enjoyed the brownie more than I did the pasta......)

Ok, perhaps I'm a little bias coz he's my friend.....

So why don't YOU try it out yourself?

Head to......

Don't bother telling Yengzter that I sent you. Don't think you'll be getting any special treatment or discount.

(what?! I'm being honest!!!)

But of course if your gastronomical enjoyment was way beyond as initially anticipated, please give kudos to the chef!

Later!!!!
