Appetizer ~ Prawn Cracker

Claypot Curry Fish Head

They put in too much curry powder makes it not that tasty

Quite nice and is also one of their specialty

Belacan Fried Cabbage Sprout

This is my favourite...It fried with belacan makes it even better..

Deep Fried Squid

This is something ordinary but they makes it special by frying it with Chinese wine...

Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Panas Panas!

Gerai Makanan 1,

Wang Food Court,

Specialty is the ayam goreng rempah (marinated herbs fried chicken). Unfortunately, I reached there late and their specialty had been sold out. So no choice to try other dishes. 

Several types of dishes they have other than their specialty

Sardine + Egg + Anchovies + Rice = RM4.00

Squid + Stingray + Anchovies = RM4.50

Chicken + Vegetables + Anchovies = RM3.00

Overall, I quite like it although their ayam goreng rempah is sold out.

Kitchen area - The cook and the helper

This uncle prepares the noodle

This guy is frying the pork chop

Taiwan Mee with Pork Chop

Overall is kind of like tasteless so I mixed it with the sambal but still the same as the sambal also tasteless. The best thing is the pork chop. Fried to perfection but the pork portion quite little.

Taiwan Mee with Mince Chicken

The noodle same as above. The mince chicken just normal and nothing special.

The fish is dory fish and is cooked to perfection. I like the almond nut dressing which goes well with the fish

 Ribena Soda (Nice)

 Homemade Pork Sausages (Nice) - RM11.90

- two piece of homemade pork sausages with their special gravy that brings out the best porky taste -

 Keropok (Not Bad) - RM5.90

- Crispy, puffy fried pork skin, this dish is something that you can't have it in many places thus i recommend you try it. The skin is truly crispy coated with mayonnaise that keep you crunching -

 Bacon Pasta (Nice) - RM12.90

- Spaghetti with bacon, olive oil and chilli padi, the spaghetti is rather spicy thus to customers that can't take its spiciness do try other things -

3 Little Pigs (Great) - RM15.90

[Recommended]

- Hungry Hog's signature burger topped with streaky bacon, ham, pork patty, onions and melted cheese. Great satisfaction after you finish everything despite a sinful dish -

  3 Little Pigs means 3 different type of pork combination come between the breads serve with simple salad and chunky fries.

Overall, Hungry Hog offer great satisfying pork delights at reasonable price. Matching the taste, portion and price of the individual dishes would definitely recommend to all my readers to try it.
