Braised Pork Belly Taco (Kong Bak Taco), so tasty and yet so easy to prepare, is a flavorful and versatile Singaporean Chinese dish served in a tortilla.

Braised Pork Belly Taco (Kong Bak Taco), my fusion version of the very well loved and flavorful Braised Pork Bun (Kong Bak Pau). A traditional Hokkien dish, the pork is braised in soy sauce and spices and served sandwiched in steamed rice flour buns, resembling a burger. With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, I thought I'd share some versatile Singaporean dishes that can be eaten as a taco!
