Ddonkkaseu (or Korean fried pork cutlet) has 3 rather unique characteristics: (1) it is huge compared to the Japanese, Chinese and Western cousins; (2) the meat is relatively thin and lean, and the batter thin, like the Austrian schnitzel; and (3) it is usually served topped with a savoury, sweet and sour demi-glacé sauce.

Myung Ga is a homely Korean restaurant at Bukit Timah Plaza, which serves a good and enjoyable version of it. The meat is tender and juicy and the sauce adds a refreshing twist to the pork cutlet.

At $16, its relatively pricey considering the location but the portions and quality make it worthwhile!
