Pork Chop with Gula Melaka Sauce

A  simple pork chop recipe with quite an unusual sauce.  Palm sugar sauce, tastes surprisingly good.

Taste - yummy, the sweetness is not noticeable eventhough palm sugar is used. Very tasty and tender pork chops.

This pork chop was served with a Mixed Vegetable and Potato Salad [see post].  It should be good if serve with plain white rice, too.
