🍲 Long Jiang Pork: A Hidden Ode to Nose-to-Tail Cuisine in Old Town KL

#summervacay #thingstodo #myitinerary #travel #staycation #malaysiafood #pork 🧾 Verdict: Long Jiang Pork doesn’t chase trends—it honors tradition. If you’re into nose-to-tail dining with a side of old-school ambiance, this place is worth every ringgit. What sets this humble eatery apart isn’t just its unapologetically pork-centric menu, but the respect it gives to the whole animal. From liver to intestine, tender pork leg to smoky sausage, each item carries its own story and texture, braided together by the restaurant’s signature braised sauce—dark, sticky, and layered with depth. Instead of rice, I went with porridge—a deliberate choice. The smooth, neutral base soaked up the sauce from the pork leg stew like a well-mannered companion, letting the richness shine without competing. For RM20, the portion felt generous, soulful even. I added a RM4.50 calamansi drink to cut through the richness—a smart move, as its citrusy sharpness balanced the heaviness with refreshing clarity. The setting added to the experience: old flats with peeling paint shoulder-to-shoulder with glossy towers. It’s a place where memories linger in the cracks of the concrete, and meals feel like continuations of heritage rather than just transactions.
