BBQ Pork 101

The other day, I was reading a magazine (飲食男女) about foods... :P

There was this extensive report about the best BBQ meat stores in Hong Kong.

So, lured by the delicious pictures of all these bbq porks, bbq baby pigs, roasted ducks, steamed chicken and roasted ribs... :D I went and bought a box of bbq pork and roasted goose rice box for dinner the other night.

I was looking for the '5 storey pork' in my meat.. :D

What is 5 story pork? :D

This picture demonstrates what is a good piece of bbq pork. :D It consists of 5 different distinctive layers. Top to bottom: crispy pork skin, fat and tender meat, lean meat, thin slice of fat, and then last layer is a mixture of lean meat and cartilage.

Here's my piece of pork.. :D Not exactly 5 storey high, but close enough. :D

My pork was missing the 4th layer of fat. :D But it's nonetheless a very good piece of bbq pork! :D

Eating can be educational too :D haha
