Oinkers & Buns Review: Shoyu Braised Pork Belly Rice And Pulled Pork Burger At $6

After all, the CBD hawker centre is home to Basil & Mint , Quan Ji , and Big Bowls Project . If you’re looking for some hearty braised pork belly or burgers on a budget, Oinkers & Buns is here to save the day.

Shoyu Braised Pork Belly Rice And Pulled Pork Burger At $6 Food at Oinkers & Buns The simple but beautiful plating of the Braised Pork Belly Rice ($6) was the first thing that caught our attention. $6 gets you a full bowl of white rice, flat green beans, pineapples, pickled cucumbers, boiled egg, and a neat row of sliced pork belly. Marinated with shoyu and grilled on a hot pan before serving, each fatty slice of belly had a hint of smoky taste to it.

It was an exemplary side dish to the greasy pork belly. Chopped and grilled to a soft consistency, the pineapples were like salsa, but with an added caramelised char on the edges. I used to be a fan of pulled pork burgers until I was hit by a wave of dry and tasteless ones.

Oinkers & Bun’s Pulled Pork Burger ($5.50) took me out of this literal “dry spell”. The burger filled more than half of the plate and came with a side of mashed potato and coleslaw.

The burger is made up of a mountain of pulled pork piled atop a bed of pineapples. The pork is soaked in a house-made chilli sauce before being added into the burger.

The meat was so juicy and chock-full of flavours that you wouldn’t need any condiments to go with it. The pineapples as well gave a sweet and sour kick to each bite, complementing and exaggerating the porky flavours.

We in addition got their Grilled Chicken Burger ($5.50) , which came with mashed potato and coleslaw too. It as well features the same pineapples and pickled cucumber, along with chicken chunks.

The dish was once named Spiced Chicken Boneless Leg Burger, but many were confused, thinking it was a spicy burger instead. But other than being well-flavoured, there was nothing to shout about in regards to this burger.

Ambience at Oinkers & Buns Oinkers & Buns only opens from 10am to 3pm on weekdays. The verdict Right off the bat, my colleagues and I were impressed by the generous portions at Oinkers & Buns. Each plate was priced affordably and came packed with food made from scratch.

We would definitely head down again for the braised pork rice and pulled pork burger.
