Chinese-style, Western-style or Freestyle

There are many ways to marinate and cook (grill or saute) pork chops. How I should do mine? Western-style pork chops marinade tend to include worcestershire sauce, molasses, pepper, salt and/or honey; and the pork chops are usually glazed with pineapple sauce, or topped with apple or cherry sauce. I'll try Western-style pork chops in future but for now, just feel like some Chinese-style pork chops. Those which sometimes can be ordered in Tze Char stalls...called many names but the one I remember is 排骨王. I gave a shot at this based on some imagination, so it can be called Freestyle pork chops. Oink oink goes swimming !
