Lao Liang Pig Trotter Jelly & Shark Meat
166 Jalan Besar Rd #02-37, Jalan Berseh Food Ctr (Map) 10am – 2.30pm Tues
This is the last of the hawkers selling a once popular, but now vanishing old school Teochew delicacy, the stuff Anthony Bourdian would gush about. Their signature Pork and Shark meat collagen jelly is still made by hand and it’s perfect for the peckish and the true-blue foodie. While many Teochew restaurants still sell them, you can tell by the texture of the firm yet melt-in-the-mouth jelly texture that he uses a ton-ful of collagenous skin and bones to boil, cool and then chill them. Let it sit too long in our weather, and it will literally melt. He used to but no longer offer shark meat and skin out of respect for its endangerment. Their kway chap and ter ka (soy braised pork offals and trotters) is among the better ones around (see kway chap section). And the magic is in their own-made chilli, a rare blue ginger vinegar chilli dip… a rare sensation not often found these days.
