Black Pepper Chicken Chop

It's been a while I've enjoyed good western meal at hawker centre/food court! I missed the stall at Fengshan hawker centre which serve quite decent one. Not able to travel down there as when I like (I used to reside nearby before my marriage), one way to curb my cravings is to cook it one at home :D  The result is obsolutely fantastic! Even my kids enjoyed this western meal a lot as I've adjusted the heat of the sauce to suit their palate :D 

  

Homemade black pepper sauce! yummy!
