Tucked away in a quiet area, the meal i had was delicious! Had the signature Porchetta, Baby Back ribs and Apple pie. Porchetta was hands down the best- tasted so juicy with the apple sauce. The ribs was well seasoned and tender, and the apple pie! Deliciously warm, crispy crumble and naturally sweet. Portion was worth the price and quality. Definitely coming back again. Thank you Chef Pauline!

Came across this gem after having a meal nearby and couldn’t resist trying out the food (round 2!). I had seen an online post (possible sponsored but not sure) by a food reviewer previously on the place recently and was surprised to stumble upon this place. We decided to try out the Porchetta Set (portion is suitable for 1-2 pax) and the Apple Crumble Pie with Vanilla Ice-Cream. Everything was 10/10 as every item on the plate complemented each other really well and was perfectly seasoned. The apple crumble pie was a real treat as it wasn’t too sweet or overpowering in cinnamon flavour. Tasted very homey and warm. The decor is minimalistic and can look a bit empty, but will definitely return for the amazing food.

Recently I found Chef Pauline by accident when searching for a nice porky place for dinner. Did some research online, the place seemed to have good ratings so I decided to take a leap of faith - after all, everyone deserves a chance. Serving only pork and chicken, the menu is pretty simple and streamlined. When you're focusing on what's best, the result will never stray too far from the effort. The outlet is also very simple and minimalist in design. ◾Go for Mixed Platter consist of one whole roasted chicken leg, 2 pcs Porchetta and 4 pcs BBQ Baby Ribs which cost RM100 only. The chicken leg was good but slightly overdone resulting in drier than I would like texture; Porchetta had this crispy and crunchy skin rolled up seasoned with herbs nicely but the best was BBQ pork ribs... Fall-off-the-bone smothered with tangy bbq sauce. ◾Baked French Fries RM9 didn't excite the taste bud. Might sound healthier but deep fried definitely will be better in taste. ◾If your stomach still permits, ask for their dessert where the apple crumble rocks! To see everyone tucking into the food hungrily especially the pickiest one was a testament of food cooked with passion. Note: They charge minimal corkage for BYO. I forgot how much but should be in the region of RM20-30 which was reasonable.

Food is of good quality. The pork skin of the porchetta is crispy. Pork chop is done well. Apple crumble is one of the better ones tasted, butter is used for the pastry. Pity roast pork is not available. It's 2 days pre-order and sold by the slab.

This place isn’t getting enough love it deserves. Overall, the food is homely and doesn’t overwhelm your tastebuds. Ordered the porkchops, porchetta and siew yok (roasted pork). Porkchops have room for improvement but generally suitable for the old folks - pretty lean, not too salty and complete. The porchetta and siew yok are the highlights. Both are crunchy and you’d really get the satisfaction from each bite. Could really give Char Siew Yoong’s siew yok a run for its money. As for the desserts, went for the apple crumble and new york cheese cake. Nothing much to say about the cheesecake since it’s pretty standard but the apple crumble’s good. Not too sweet, comes warm and has a nice ice cream pair. My old folks are liking it - defo be coming back.

Been to Chef Pauline Foods at least 3 times since its soft opening in Nov. The Porchetta (Italian Roast Pork) is super tender with a crispy skin, and the Baby Back Ribs are so juicy and full of flavour. Apple Pie - so comforting and the right amount of sweetness. Even though I’ve relocated, I’ll definitely return when I'm back in the area!
