One of the most famous places in town for marinated pork trotters, this shop keeps the liquid gold – made with soy, rock sugar, chilli and shallot – on a gentle simmer all day, hence the comforting aroma. While trotters are prized for their gelatinous texture, upper leg cuts strike a balance between fat, skin and meat. Side dishes such as shredded bamboo shoots are also good. Instead of plain steamed rice, try it with a drizzle of marinade.
