Char Siu (Cantonese BBQ Pork) · Hong Kong

Honey-lacquered Cantonese roast pork with a sticky mahogany crust and pink-tinted interior, sliced over rice or piled in a bun. Hong Kong's defining siu mei piece, hung in every roast meat window from Kam's to Joy Hing.

Char siu (literally fork-roast) is one of the four pillars of Cantonese siu mei, hung over a charcoal pit on long forks since at least the Qing dynasty. The signature mahogany glaze comes from maltose, honey, hoisin, and red fermented bean curd. Joy Hing on Queen's Road East has roasted char siu in the same shop since 1888; Kam's Roast Goose is the current Michelin-starred reference.
