Cafe Emas Tu Ka Rice or the Stewed Pork Leg Rice is one of the best in Alor Setar.
The stewed pork leg rice is filled with tender stewed pork, tofu, egg, salted vege, and chooi sum. You must not miss the gravy to be put on top of the rice, it is so special and delicious.
The price of hawker food now is keeping increasing after the pandemic. It now costs more than RM7 for one serving. Still, it is worth every penny that you pay.
Just one thing to be reminded that the stall owner does not always open their stall like others. You better check it out when visited to Cafe Emas.

Their bean curd taste very different from the others. They prepared their bean curd with some special methods.
The moist interior and crispy exterior of our Bean Curd is a result of laborious stirring while slow frying the bean curd to ensure an even distribution of heat and for air bubbles are captured within. The air bubbles allow the broth to be absorbed into the bean curd for the sweet freshness of the soup in every mouthful.

The soup is filled with many ingredients. Very tasty.

Deep-fried Pork Trotters with Salt and Pepper
The pork trotter was fried until very crispy and smelled good. As for this kind hard core dishes , it is really difficult to cut it into pieces, it is better for you to ask the assistance from the waiter to cut it into smaller pieces.
“Specifically using only 7-inch pig’s trotter, each trotter then goes through a 12-hour-long culinary method before being served. Sink your teeth into the crunchy skin as it gives way to tantalizing treat of collagen.”
Putien
“In order to attain the texture we desire, these trotters will have to undergo close to a dozen complicated preparation steps. This dish is also symbolizes ‘Heng Cai Jiu Shou’ which translates to “Windfall Fortune”,” by Putien.
So, we are going to have good fortune after taking it. Anyway, many of the Chinese dishes have come with its own meaning that’s linked to prosperity, good fortune, good health etc.

On top of the good fortune, I believe the more realistic value is the plentiful of good collagen.

PUTIEN Bian Rou Soup is one of must try item if you visited this Michelin star restaurant chain. This is a very traditional Fujian dishes.
Bian Rou Soup
Accordingly to Putien website, “Bian Rou (Wanton) Soup is a Fujianese specialty with more than 500 years of history. At PUTIEN, we spare no efforts in keeping this precious craft originated in Chinese imperial dynasty of Qin. The delicate Fujian-style wonton wrapper is made of pork meat. Each time, 3 hours of continuously pounding and rolling on the meat paste is required before it becomes as thin as paper, making the handcrafted wanton springy and palatable with every bite.”
The delicate wrapper of Bian Rou is handmade exclusively in Fujian Province, and 90% of the wrap is made of fresh pork meat. The meat needs to be kneaded and rolled with wooden sticks and tenderized non-stop for more than ten thousand times in order to achieve a 0.3cm thickness.
Putien
I initially thought that the Bian Rou must be like wantan, in fact, it taste quite different from the kantonese wantan, and the size is very tiny. One serving is hardly enough for me. The soup is topped with seaweed.

Putien Michelin star restaurant signature starter Braised Pig Intestines. Now, I am not the fans of animals internal organs, but this one is within my acceptance level.
Braised Pig Intestines
“12 inch-long intestines are meticulously chosen and tirelessly washed, looped, cooked, extended, selected and braised to perfection with our 12 spices house sauce. This intricate and complex method ensures that every bite of our ‘9 fold’ intestines gives you that springy texture that you love,” claim at Putien website. They further explain about the meaning of 9 folds.
Nine-fold Intestine
Using only the delicate part between the large and small intestine, it is hand folded manually loop after loop, before being braised for at least 45 minutes. This intricate and complex method ensures a springy texture with every bite, only available in limited quantity on daily basis.
First of all, this braised 9 folds pig intestines doesn’t smell bad, in fact, you can taste slight of the spices taste when taking it. I believe they did very well on the braising process to remove the unpleasant smell and taste. When you put in your mouth, it is very tender. Even the kids can accept it.

It just looks like the sausage cut into smaller pieces. The texture is very soft, you can eat it without much chewing. Recommend fujian starter for anyone who likes the internal ingredients.
