A great place to have succulent pork knuckles wrapped with lettuce and ginger is at Orchidville. 

The Forrest restaurant is a quaint rainforest themed eatery that serves up a great pork knuckle dish! We really enjoyed the dish…but with just two of us, we had to ‘da pao’ about half the pork knuckle home…tis was a huge serving!

After dinner you can browse and even buy potted orchids if you are so inclined. It’s basically a flower farm setting that just happens to serve some seriously good pork knuckles.

A fun and quaint place to try out!
