The Pig, if I am not mistaken,
Gives us ham and pork and Bacon.
Let others think his heart is big,
I think it stupid of the Pig.

Behold……
Pork salad – Secret Supper Partner No.1 declared it a wonderfully delicious salad with a lovely tangy dressing that contrasted beautifully with the pork belly slices.
Enchiladas with pork – We ordered two portions because it was soooo gooooood; Gumbo Soup (with pork)
Roast pork – Secret Supper Partner No.2 wanted more because one slice just wasn’t enough. Brittle, crunchy skin and succulent, tender meat. So delicious!
Chicken pogs – “Have you had all your jabs?” the owner asked. “Yes!” we chorused. “Good! I guess it’s okay for you to have chicken pogs then,” he quipped. Chicken pogs – Deskinned chicken thigh with sausage, wrapped with bacon.
Arrghhh, I forgot to photograph my pork steak! It was juicy and delicious.
BBQ Ribs – Well marinated, no complaints. What”s there not to love anyway!
I apologize. Not EVERYTHING served at the restaurant has pork in it.

There is no fixed menu at Ad Hog; the daily menu is dictated by what is fresh for the day. Going to Ad Hog is like eating at home. The owner greets you, and he tells you what you’ll be eating. The chairs are mismatched and there is a decidedly festive air. The restaurant resounds with laughter. Finding Ad Hog is easy with a GPS. There is no signboard, but one can immediately recognise it with its welcoming light in a street shrouded in darkness.
Note: Babi guling is available at lunchtime.

Oh but why can’t EVERYTHING served at this lovely restaurant have pork in it? I can certainly of some porcine palate cleansers… maybe bacon ice-cream? (I’ve read on some blog somewhere some lyrical foodblogger recommending this, ahem, ahem.)
i can’t decide which one is my favorite dish here! i lurrrrrve the babi guling, but i’m also crazy about the roast pork! such totally different ways of preparing pork, but both utterly irresistible!!! 😀
PORK!! 🙂 The salad looks beeyouutiful!
A porky fiesta!!!!
Teach me food photography when I am down for a visit 🙂
Pork pork n more pork. Sounds like my kinda place! 🙂
Porkagraphy – pure, unadulterated porkagraphy. You, you.. porkagrapher, you!!
* Would we rave as much
if it were not forbidden..
the glory of pork.
*..kenny and msiagirl on twittr got me started.. 😀
hehehe.. so cute.. no need to apologize.. ice cream has its place too.. in between, after , before.. etc etc:P haha..lovely shots.. the chicken pogs looks so pretty so interesting! i really need to get my ass and my colleagues down there asap (v near work). thanks for the awesome tip!
that’s one hell of a porkilicious feast!
Didja say babi guling? Oh my!
Pork…glorious pork. The meal would have fulfilled my month’s quota 😛
LFB: That’s a brilliant idea. The bacon ice cream from the Last Polka would go splendidly with the rest of the (non)menu!
Sean: I can’t believe my good fortune at discovering this place. Will definitely go back many more times. I like the roast pork here. Very tasty.
neko-hime: The salad would be even better when eaten with roast pork as the dressing in it cuts through the oiliness. Quick go visit! 🙂
Kiran: Food photography? Such a big sounding word. I just point and shoot. 🙂
J: I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I have. 🙂
gfad: Porkagraphy? I like that word. I don’t think we rave about it because it’s forbidden. I think we rave about it coz it tastes so good! I mean, nothing can replicate the kuih lapis-like wobbly, firm slices of juicy siew yoke or the tender, melt-in-the-mouth sticky fragrant char siew or the heavenly smell of frying bacon.
ciki: oooh if it’s near your office, you should definitely visit it soon. For me, it’s like going cross country from my office to the restaurant, so I can only go for dinners there. Enjoy!
babe_kl: It is! And I loved every bit of it!
A Lil Fat Monkey: Hehe…shall we go together one day, BFF?
unkaleong: Aiyah, it wasn’t that bad. We all agreed that the food was just nice for the 4 of us.
@ ll: Yeah, yeah will go! 🙂 i smells the roast pork now!
My family and I been there and the food is superb. I strongly recommend those porky lover to go there and try. 🙂
Now thats just silly. Why would you go to a pork restaurant and order anything else?! Pork all the waaaaay! 🙂
“… nothing can replicate the kuih lapis-like wobbly, firm slices of juicy siew yoke or the tender, melt-in-the-mouth sticky fragrant char siew or the heavenly smell of frying bacon.”
It’s when you casually drop descriptions like so in your comments that you remind us why we are such fervent followers of your every delicious word… Yummy.
And oh yes, I’m so getting that bacon ice-cream next! 😀
neko-hime: hahaha. so cute la u. (don’t blame you, though!)
Cait: It’s a great place to go to. Very pleasant owners too.
Paps: I agree! Pork all the way at Ad Hog!
LFB: You’re too kind. Can you say nice things like that to me everyday? All I get is FBB’s grumpy “yennadei”. Oh, don’t think the bacon ice-cream is available for sale yet.
how did you ever stumble upon this place? *salivates*
Jasmine: My friend, B, got a text from his friend, Diana, who asked him to check out the restaurant with his friend, Lyrical Lemongrass. She apparently has a regular table there. 🙂 Took me 6 weeks to get my butt there, but I’m really glad I did. 🙂 (Thanks, Diana!)
Aiyo so tempting must checkout!
Awww.. such a cute name. Btw, Happy Deepavali to you! *hugs
I where got say nice things to you wan everyday? Dunch even see you online every day much less in person. And FBB can say those stuff and get away with it cos we all adore him ma. 🙂
P.S. No bacon ice-cream but I finally had brekkie at The Bee with Brother B (alliterative fun!) and then lunch with Paranoid Android and Masak-Masak (after bumping into them at The Bee) at Marufuku… Such a joyous Deepavali Eve! 😀
Good to see you again, hope you enjoyed the pig, so when you free for food tasting ?

Hello there! Its such a big deal for you to link me on your last post because I actually do come here often for reviews! Such a shock for me (: but in a good way. Thank you!
Ive always wanted to try babi guling, but I never knew they served it in kl. Will definitely give this restaurant a go. Have a good week!
Happy Belated Deepavali Meena. Yup, Ad Hpg was all over the Twitterverse. And I had no idea where the place was until Becks pointed that out.
yay! Was hoping to go there with you but can go again.
Hugs ave a lovely time in Sydney luv
Ah…I haven’t seen this place (yet)…time to try this place out! How have u been, Meena? 😀 Would love to meet u again sometime soon! 🙂
A wonderful tribute to the wonderful world of all things porcine
Such a porky adventure! And a quirky name to boot! It’s definitely a place that I’d try, if only for the Roast Pork!
reminds me of El Cerdo of Changkat. OINK!
Porkagraphy term cracks me up 😀
yennadei, so many pork places hor, mushrooming up like zits on a bad skinned teenager. well, looks like i shall have to drag my own ass (which has no doubt been formed by years of porkalogy as well) and ask for lyrical lemongrass’ regular table there. by the way, is the place halal?
Hey Meena!
I had dinner here last night for the first time and it was yummy!
The joint’s actually owned by my dad’s cousin and the furniture are preloved Linds pieces from way back when!!!
hahaha…
Hiya Ian!
Wah, small world! The food’s good for sure. Have made repeat visits and every visit has been good. I knew the furniture was special! hehe. I actually like the decor. 🙂
