I have seen this pork chop bun making its rounds on Instagram since a few years back but the thought of going all the way to Seng Huat Coffee House at Hougang is enough to stop me in my tracks.
It was actually after my visit to Sentosa FunFest 2018 when I thought of dropping by Seng Huat Coffee House since it's "on the way". My idea of "on the way" is by taking the North-East Line from Habourfront MRT Station (NE1) to Hougang MRT Station (NE14).
The coffeeshop is conveniently located just right outside Hougang MRT Station opposite Hougang Mall.
The pork chop bun costs $3.50 ala carte. A set which includes a hot beverage (coffee/tea) and two soft-boiled eggs would set you back by $5.
I do not feel like having eggs at that time so I ordered just the bun and a coffee which costs me $4.70. Come to think of it, it's more value-for-money to have the two eggs for 30¢ more.

Anyway!
This pig-shaped bun is handmade every morning to ensure freshness and only assembled upon ordering.
The pork chop is topped with a slice of cheese, some mayonnaise and chili sauce then sandwiched between the lightly toasted buns.
The buns are warm and fluffy while the pork chop is succulent. The pork chop was marinated overnight but whatever flavors it had were masked by the sauces, unfortunately.
Despite that, the pork chop bun is quite enjoyable when eaten hot and a refreshing change from the usual fast food burgers. The pork chop does not have the gamey smell and is not tough to tear apart with the teeth.
Apart from the pork chop bun, the UFO bun (太空包) seem equally popular as well.
