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.

  12. Hi Kimmy,

    Thanks for this lovely recipe, I tried it and liked it eventhough I substituted it with Jaggery Powder at the last minute because I thought I still have Gula Melaka in the pantry, but I had remembered wrongly.

    I wanted the post it in my blog, but somehow just can't seem to be able to load photos, so I thought I would let you know here first.

    Thanks!
