Porca is PJ's new neighbourhood haven for Western comfort fare with modern playfulness, founded by the family that runs The Butcher's Table on this SS2 street.

Calm and cosy with the lived-in charm of a midcentury home, Porca puts its spin on everything from sliders to steaks. The service team works hard to ensure an enjoyable experience with a human touch throughout, grounded in genuine warmth.

Start with the abanico slider (an Iberian pork patty, plump and moist with the profile of a three-bite burger), hamachi salad (tossed with yellowtail sashimi cubes and dried stingray, a duet of fish in two styles) and potato chips (crisply kitchen-fried, cloaked in jamon iberico for indulgently hammy snacking).

Anchovy pasta proves beautifully briny, but save space for protein powerhouses like mozzarella-molten chicken cordon bleu, Argentinean sirloins and Spanish lamb ribs, fleshy and full-bodied for carnivorous cravings.

Finish with roti kaya, served with Chinese crullers instead of toast, and the creamiest truffle-scented cheesecake slathered with jamon.
