Golden Oscar Cafe – Pork Chop that deserves an award
Before someone busts my chops over what an ugly photo this is of Golden Oscar HK Cafe (map) exterior, I’ll have you know that this is a pretty darn accurate representation. It IS ugly on the outside. Even the glue from their old banner logo wasn’t cleaned off properly, and you can clearly tell the artistic direction they were taking with the sign: Bigger.
The same could be said of their baked pork chop.
It’s absolutely epic. This is the 2001 Space Odyssey of pork chops. Slathered with tomato sauce and melted cheese, two sumo sized slabs of breaded pork chop sits on top of a plate of fried rice. Though tender and full flavored, finishing all of it in one sitting is a challenge.
The chicken steak is trembling in its uptown square plate:
The place wouldn’t be called Oscar if it didn’t have some sort of Hollywood theme of course. Well, the walls are lined with classic movie posters and star portraits. Since Braveheart is the newest film I saw on the wall, I don’t think anything’s been updated for over a decade.
I had my first baked PC ever from Oscar Cafe waaay back, and its really set the bar high since. Mel agrees.
the baked pc on rice at Golden Oscars is the best I’ve ever had anywhere! my boyfriend and I go there all the time for this dish — and the chicken steak is phenomenal too, with that delicious gravy over rice. in fact, i don’t think i’ve ever been disappointed with any of the food at Golden Oscars.
Glad you agree. I certainly can’t think of any way pork chop could be improved beyond this.
Hey, this is located in my neighborhood. I haven’t been there in awhile, and I’ve never tried these dishes.
Guess, I’ll go have to stop by to try these dishes, but probably with at least two people.
Funny thing, I never made the connection between their name and the movie posters. Duh.
Thanks a lot.
Wow, that baked pork chop is insanely enormous! It looks like it could easily feed three hungry people.
BEST.
PORK.
CHOP.
…in Vancouver.
I’ve been to most of the HK Cafes in Vancouver and still haven’t found a Baked PC that compares to Golden Oscar’s.
So I’ve tried it. It was just ok for me as I’m trying to stay away from fried foods, so I should have ordered the chicken steaks instead. Anyways, it was definitely a lot of food for a great price. The pork chops were nice and juicy but I can’t say I really cared for the breaded topping as it kind of became a bit gooey from the sauce. The fried rice underneath was fine. You definitely can’t beat the price and value ($8.95) here as it also came with soup and a drink.
I’ll be back to try the chicken steak.
It certainly is very rich. The chicken steak is like a snack in comparison.
If you’ve got a hankering for chicken steak, I think the biggest chicken steak I’ve had was at Kam Do in Richmond.
That’s fine. I’m not into eating the “biggest” anyway. A smaller portion sounds perfect for me. We had to split the baked pc three ways.
That baked pork chop picture makes me droooool!!! ㅠ.ㅜ
