Xiu Roasting - Honey-glazed Prime Cut Char Siu

Best Chinese Restaurants 2023

"My favorite would be their Honey-glazed Prime Cut Char Siu! The char siu is roasted really well. The whole thing melts in your mouth. You get the satisfying rich and sticky feel of the collagen. The glaze is nice and tacky too while being balanced in sweetness adding to the richness."
- Chef Noel Mauricio (Feb. 26, 2024)
