Char siu barbecue pork at Hong Kong BBQ

The beauty of this Cantonese-style barbecue pork does not lie in its lustrous red exterior, but, instead, its versatility. You can enjoy sweet, smoky slices of it over a mound of white rice, plunged into clear broth with bright yellow noodles and bok choy, or just by the pound. At this Chinatown food stall, the slabs of pork hang seductively in the window, beckoning you to savor the fantastic meat in any and every form you see fit. Char siu eggs Benedict, anyone? $9.29 per pound.
