Best Pork Knuckles in Penang

Tucked along the crowd-rousing Pulau Tikus, Annathai-Kitchen is drawing in the crowd for their economy rice and familiar Thai fares like green curry and seafood tomyam. However, it would be a crime to leave without gobbling their Thai Pork Knuckle Rice. Nothing to shout about the rice, but the pork meat is amazingly addictive. Sitting beneath the flaky skin is the meat that slides from the bone with the finest touch. For a spicy kick, dip in the homemade chili sauce. Hold on, you can also opt for their Vinegar Pork Knuckle which is extremely tender with fatty layers and the gravy certainly wins with a mix of sourness. 

With a huge striking red board, it’s impossible to overlook this unassuming spot. Among the most demanded dish are their pork knuckles. The chunk of meats is packed with flavours and downright tender, thanks to the series of marination, deep-fried and stew process. Once you cut through the meat, the fragrant rushes out and gets your mouth drooling, definitely makes way into your favourites list. 

Among the restaurants that are constantly filled with aficionados at Queensbay Mall. Upon entering, your salivary glands and stomach start to rumble looking at authentic Shanghainese style meals served in huge pots, being chomped down gleefully. Their Braised Pork Knuckle is definitely rave-worthy, a huge hunk of tender meat with hardboiled eggs and vegetables, lounging in a pool of thick and rich gravy. The meat just melts once it hits your tongue and best paired with a mound of steamed white rice; it’s an experience that leaves you speechless.
