#85 Pork Chop with Sweet and Sour Sauce

There are a few blogs/websites that I visit whenever I need some inspiration on what to cook for dinner. And this blog, Peng's Kitchen, is one of my all-time fav. Simply because the recipes are concise, were tried and tested by the author, and if you have any questions, the blogger is very quick to answer.

Last night, I tried her pork chop recipe, and boy, was it GOOD! Even Jr, who doesn't like chewing meat, ate 2 big pieces of it!

I always associate cream crackers (Soh Tah Piah) with the light snack hospital provides once you are ok to eat after an operation or when I was very young, whenever I'm sick, mum will give me this crackers with hot milo. All not very good memories i must say, until this! Never knew crushed cream crackers make pork chop so yummy.

I combined this recipe with a sweet and sour sauce and served with rice.
