If you’re of Cantonese decent, or have spent any quantifiable time in Southern China or Hong Kong, you’ll be well acquainted with Cantonese-style roasted pork belly, or Siew Yuk. It’s one the triumvirates of the Cantonese roasted meats for which the region is renowned, the others being Char Siu (Barbecue pork) and Siew Ngap (Roasted duck) – and if it’s something you’ve had, it’s something you love.

Slowly roasted with a five-spice rub, the meat is always soft and juicy – and its crackling skin always light and crispy. Usually eaten at family get-togethers and special occasions, it – and the other two famous roasted meats – generally mean it’s time for celebration.

In Other news: Breaking Battlefront, expect more BioShocks, might as well jump for new Van Halen tracks in Rockband 4 and Cyka Blyat.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were too busy making holy water by boiling the hell out of it.

    I must say, aside from the occasional bacon at breakfast, I’m not such a big fan of port. Sure, the crispy rinds are usually amazing, but the meat itself doesn’t appear to me that much.

          I would say lack of coffee but that would be my inner addict talking and giving bad advice.

            I think it’s lack of holiday. Last time I had off was in April. And I’m not getting December off. I blame that.
            Though….I can do with more coffee.

            Ouch! Know the feeling. Good luck with that dude! Luckily took a holiday in October so i am ready for the crappy holiday goers here in my coastal town during December. Now go and get a mug of java!
