Thanks very much for sharing!

Since you worked in a restaurant, mind to share some of your recepies?

I'm not Hakkasan, I do my porc  differently:
1. Burn away any hair with blow torch
2. Rub the belly with  滴珠油, roast 20 minutes in 425F oven
3. Rinse under cold water for 1 hour
4. Cut into 1/5 inch slices, arrange in wide month earthenware bowl
5. Place  seasoned Mui Choi on pork, steam 1 hour
5. Invert onto plate or refrigerate for further use
I used to deepfry the belly when I served my apprenticeship, now I do most cooking by roasting in oven, eggplant dishes and Szechuan Spicy Green Bean etc.
There are more than 1 way to prepare any food, as long as if work for you

That was a long time ago when I was working in my uncle's restaurant in Boston. I did all the position except chef so I'm not the authority on the correct recipes. I'm not even sure my mui choy pork is correct or not.

I think I missed a step for the pork, after boiling rub some soy sauce on the pork and deep fry them then cut them.

I was always wondering why deep frying is used on pork belly. some say it gets rid of the fat in the meat, others say for texture. Could you pls confirm that?

Yeah, I agree there's no set way of making something. Food tastes good is what matters the most. Due to my hectic schedule, I prefer to put together using what I have at home and experiment to discover fast and easy ways to cook. My recepie is: "cooking without a recepie!"

Yeah, I was suprised that you didn't deep fry. hahaha

Boston? Wow!
I went to Detroit and tasted alligator for the first time there.
(sorry, out of topic)

What other foods did your restaurant serve? Western Chinese food or Authentic?

My Dad owns a restaurent in a small town. I helped out a lot when I was young. We served Western Chinese food like lots of sweet and sour stuff.

They say alligator tastes like chicken, I've never tried them myself.

My uncle's restaurant serves authentic chinese food but nothing fancy, mostly big portion  Hongkong style.

啤水成個鐘。。。咁咪冇乜營養囉？

我整嘅版本同師傅差唔多。不過我HUNNIE鍾意食切細粒嘅肉，所以我冇師傅切得咁闊。

We are not debating who is the authority here, just sharing what good food would be like

I've heard of a recepie that you boil, soak, reboil, re-soak the pork many times! Go figure!
