So I finally got to visit the restaurant that has apparently already been “blogged to death” after earning a reputation as the go-to place for their much-raved pork burgers. (Although my favourites for the night turned out to be something else, read on to find out) Cristang is tucked away behind PJ’s Wisma Thrifty in the relatively quiet commercial centre that is 8 Avenue. We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at the cosy restaurant buzzing with customers in a square that was mostly quiet (save for a handful of restaurants and bars open), ringing true the old adage that “when the food is good, the customers shall arrive”. That being said, I also attribute the good business of this place to the increasing trend of non-Muslim diners out to hunt for a good serving of pork. Probably a backlash to years of being served with pork-free fare by the not-so-daring restauranteurs. All bodes well for the diners though, but I digress.
