This post has been long overdue. Ever since I sunk my teeth into the Crackles Classic there was no turning back...
Despite not being in the best location on Oxford Street, this place get its fair share of pork lovers at all types of hours.
What I can't get enough of is their Crackles Classic: Crisp skinned slow roast 5 spiced pork belly served with Vietnamese salad in a roll.
What we have here is a reinterpretation of the pork roll. You'll get the two sides: the die hard Cabra pork roll lovers that feel this isn't the same, how can you replace the old school classic with this, and then you'll have the converted (like me) who grew up with the pork roll before it was Westernized, and then be blown away at how great it can taste in this format.
The pork is melt in you mouth good....
The crackling is crunchy enough but not deadly sharp to cause injury while trying to eat it....
The salad compliments it so well and really breaks down all the meatiness....
The size... well open your mouth wide... or be prepared for some spillage.
You can even top it off some Ghost Chili sauce... (which was very mild considering it was suppose to be Ghost Chilies)
If you're just up for something "lighter" then you can just get a cup of crackling... though this was a fantastic idea.. I think the crackling on its own is way too much.. too salty, too oily and just too much of the same thing. After eating it we all felt parched...
So if you still don't believe me on how great this must-try place is... Google those reviews... you'll see so many tourist calling this place The-Must-Visit in Sydney... and I tend to agree.
