Tiger Fork Pork Belly Plate Price

Tiger Fork's Pork Belly Plate features crispy-skinned pork belly served with an assortment of accompaniments, including pickled vegetables, white rice, and butter lettuce for wrapping. The dish is complemented by three distinct sauces, a green sauce, a classic ginger scallion sauce, and a fiery ‘Double Dagger’ hot mustard. This interactive, family-style platter allows diners to create their own balanced bites and the Tiger Fork Pork Belly Plate price is between $24.00 and $28.00.

The crispy roasted preparation of the pork belly offers a different textural experience than the slow-braised pork belly bao found at a modern marketplace like Maketto. Patrons often praise the "perfectly rendered fat and shatteringly crisp skin" of the pork. The richness of the meat is perfectly cut by a crisp, dry sake like the Hananomai Katana or the bright acidity of the Project Fuso Dry Riesling.

The dish is a modern interpretation of siu yuk (脆皮燒肉), a classic Cantonese roasted pork belly known for its crunchy rind. This playful take on a traditional dish is available at Tiger Fork, a contemporary Hong Kong-style kitchen located in D.C.'s historic Blagden Alley. The restaurant, led by Culinary Director Nathan Beauchamp and Executive Chef Simon Lam, emphasizes family-style plates and a communal dining experience, making the Pork Belly Plate a perfect centerpiece for the table.
