Let's talk about Cantonese barbecue - Char Siu is the star of the show! Be it restaurants, street-side shops, or hawker stalls, you're set to find Char Siu almost everywhere. But let's spill the beans - the tastiest neighborhood Char Siu in all of Hong Kong has got to be at Chai Wan's Sun Kwai Heung Roaster 新桂香燒臘. Known far and wide, it has foodies, locals, and trendsetting foreigners making a beeline for a bite.Sun Kwai Heung Roaster 新桂香燒臘's Char Siu surely sets tongues wagging! Drizzled with h
Sun Kwai Heung Roaster 新桂香燒臘's Char Siu surely sets tongues wagging! Drizzled with honey till it gleams, the meat is tender, juicy, and never overly fatty or tough. The smell? Divine! Imagine the intoxicating aroma of pork, honey, and caramelized spices dancing in harmony; feeling stuffed will be the last thing on your mind.
Behind this colorful and mouth-watering Char Siu is a ton of dedication and elbow grease. Sun Kwai Heung Roaster swears by using the freshest top-notch pork belly and ribs, cooked in the traditional open fire. Talk about commitment!
Creating this masterpiece is a two-hour labor of love packed with many step. A concoction of salt, sugar, rose wine, and soy sauce acts as a half-hour marinade before it's skewered and sent straight into the fiery furnace. Upon which it is roasted on high heat for a fiery 15 to 20 minutes and then simmered on medium heat, making sure the meat is juicy and scrumptiously moist.
Next, our heroic slab is dipped in maltose, taken out, and slowly roasted on medium heat for another half an hour. Finally, the burnt edges are trimmed off, given a last dip in maltose, and left for some minutes to let the extra syrup drip, only then it's considered done and dusted!
Freshly made in the kitchen behind the scenes and served straight from the oven every day, the options are aplenty.
This is why Sun Kwai Heung Roaster 新桂香燒臘'’s Char Siu has attracted food enthusiasts from across the globe and often sees long queues. No wonder their Char Siu gets wiped out the moment it comes out of the oven!
