Pork Chop Baked Rice

This is one of the popular dish that served at those Hong Kong Cafe 香港茶餐厅 which I adored :D I most likely to order this particular dish when I visited such cafe in Singapore :D For a healthier version, I replaced the white rice from the original recipe with brown rice instead, still as delicious!

Healthy fried brown rice with omelette

tangy tomato onion gravy

The pan-fried pork chops tasted slightly on the dry side when eaten alone :( but along with the tangy tomato sauce and cheesy topping, it managed to compensate the dryness. Overall it is very tasty and well-liked by my kids. Kids simply loves tomato sauce and cheese :D :D
