The Hungry Hog started out as a small-scale catering service, evolving this past month into a suburban cafe that's run with humor and heart. The signature dish? A bulked-up pork burger, of course, dubbed "3 Little Pigs," topped with streaky bacon, ham, caramelized onions & cheese. Some might say this is too salty and greasy, but we wish The Hungry Hog had piled on the cholesterol and plopped a fried egg here. Juicy house-made sausages, one laced with fennel & pepper, the other with nutmeg & sag

The Hungry Hog started out as a small-scale catering service, evolving this past month into a suburban cafe that's run with humor and heart. True to this outlet's name, it's all about the pig here, with no poultry in sight. So loosen your belt and indulge in crunchy, puffy fried pork skin _ deceptively light but devastatingly sinful _ served with a vinegar-based dip. Five-spice roast pork, since no restaurant like this would be complete without siew yoke. The menu is kept short and sweet, but w

we returned to the conveniently nearby Hungry Hog, which introduced new items this month including the wittily named "iPork" _ pork burger topped with apple mayo & cinnamon apple sauce. Humpty Dumpty, a patty-free burger stuffed with egg, streaky bacon & cheese. Sinful, for sure, but relatively light _ not hefty enough to fill all the king's horses & all the king's men. Pork chops in honey mustard sauce, oozing with meaty juices & monumental flavor. Prefer rice instead of bread & potatoes? The

The Hungry Hog is located in SS15, Subang Jaya. It is serving non halal dishes, mainly western meal with pork. Their menu offers limited choices but for a small restaurant, quality of food is the priority instead of variety of food. Small and friendly environment. Simple decorations. This is the signature dish, 3 Little Pigs. As the name says it all, 3 little pigs means that the burger is comprised of pork patty, pork bacon, and ham. Also top with some lettuce, onions and cheese. The dish com

Three Little Pigs (RM15.90). The signature burger consisted of a slice of ham, bacon and pork patty with a layer of cheese, caramelized onions, tomato and cabbage slices. It was served with fries and salad. The melting cheese was creamy. The bacon was crispy and ham was thick. The pork patty was slight burnt on the outside, thus giving some crispiness, the inner part was juicy. The caramelized onions added some sweetness to the burger.

Bacon pasta (RM12.90) was with few pieces of bacon, olive oil, garlic and chilli padi. The presentation was simple. The spaghetti was springy and every strand of it was coated with olive oil. There were a few pieces of bacon, which added some saltiness to the dish. The bacons were crispy. The dish was fragrant due to the addition of garlic. The dish was very spicy as it has chilli padi.

Bangers and Mash (RM15.90). This dish came with two sausages served on top of a bed of onion gravy and mashed potato alongside a salad. The caramelized onions were delicious, sweet, slightly salty and soft in texture. The mashed potato portion was so generous, it was buttery, creamy and quite solid in texture. The sausages fillings were quite compact, slight bitter and salty.

Just as there is only one choice for the salads, there's also only one choice of flavour for ice-cream, but one that we certainly wanted to try - Bacon Ice Cream (RM3.90)! Promoted as containing bacon bits and drizzled with honey, we were wondering how this was going to taste. In the end, the honey turned the vanilla ice cream into something much more sweeter than it should have been, and while the chewy bacon bits added a savoury element, it tasted a tad like long yuk (dried pork) due to its te

With a price tag that is at least RM10 higher than the next most expensive main on the menu, we were expecting something special to be served, and the portion of ribs certainly didn't disappoint. It was more than enough meat for one person, even me! The sauce reminded us of what we had at Kalamazoo (a post to come in future), except better. A small complaint could be that the ribs are a bit too dry, but overall it's a satisfying dish, and worth paying the higher price for. =)

While the i-Pork costs RM14, the most expensive burger only costs 2 dollars more. Wendy had the 3 Little Pigs (RM15.90); Hungry Hog's signature pork burger topped with streaky bacon, ham, caramelized onions and melted cheese. The name of this burger is the 3 Little Pigs because it refers to the merry trio of pork patty, bacon and ham in this burger. The patty was pretty delicious, well-marinated and flavoursome, but the ham tasted a little musky. Wendy removed the ham and and even then, this 3 L

Not everything was doom and gloom though! The main courses fared much better than the sides. Hungry Hog only has 4 types of burger on the menu, and this one is called i-Pork (RM 14) that Jeff had. This was a normal pork burger with tomato and lettuce, but it also boasted a special sauce - cinnamon applesauce and crunchy apple mayo. It might sound strange at first, but it actually blended in very well with the rest of the burger, and I think it might have even augmented the pork patty too. Someth

We also ordered the Siew Yuk or roasted pork belly (RM11.90) to share. Since Hungry Hog only serves pork dishes, I was hoping the roast pork here would rival the best that we could find in chicken rice stalls or Chinese restaurants. Alas, I found there was too much fat in the strip of roast pork we got, although the skin packed a crispy punch. Maybe we just weren't lucky that day, but if most of the time this is what's served, I'll give this a miss too.

After Wendy finally made it, we got down to the main meal. Besides our own food we also ordered some to share, like this Tropical Salad (RM12.90). A simple salad, I think it's worth noting that this is the only salad on the menu in Hungry Hog. Nothing out of the ordinary here, with only pineapple cubes and dragon fruit putting the "tropical" part into this salad..

Another starter we had first was the Bacon Strips (RM10.90). While the Keropork was a nice snack, I can hardly bring myself to say anything positive about this. For 6 (only 6..) strips of thin (very thin) bacon, I would not pay the full price for something that even I could fry myself at home. Steer clear of this and save your wallet for other better items on the menu!

we ordered this Keropork (RM5.90) to share. The menu calls it crispy, puffy, fried pork skin, which is essentially exactly what it is. Served with vinegar on the side, this is a very nice bar snack, but obviously so unhealthy! I could hear my arteries crying out with every bite.. =P Don't expect to finish this, unless the table has around 5 people sharing, because otherwise there's just going to be too much fried pork skin!
