Located in Sembawang’s Victory 8 is a hidden gem of a café - Common Chefs Bistro. I have been there a couple of times and this trip is to try their Duroc Pork Chop at the suggestion of my colleague. Since it was late afternoon and the sun pretty strong, I ordered the Iced Cappuccino (S$6++) while waiting for the main course to be served.
The Duroc Pork Chop (S$18++) arrived on a bed of red coral lettuces with a side of fries. Taking a slice, the pork boasts superior marbling and increased intramuscular fat to lend itself to a naturally juicer more tender product. The meat is sweet and creamy with hints of nuttiness. The tangy balsamic vinaigrette dressing on the lettuces served to balance out the richness of this protein cut. It was a good recommendation and I enjoyed every bite to the end.
To end the meal, a slice of Tiramisu Cake (S$6.90++) to “pick me up”. A decent sweet treat minus the ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee and the hint of alcohol.
PS - As of August 27, 2023, Common Chefs Bistro has officially ceased operations. It is always sad to see a business you patronized closed but let’s hope they will open a new outlet somewhere else in the foreseeable future.
