Image was taken along Wellington Street in the Central District of Hong Kong outside the Yung Kee Restaurant (Traditional Chinese: 鏞記, full name 香港鏞記酒家). This world-renowned restaurant serves excellent roasted meat dishes like the popular roast goose (燒鵝) and chinese barbecue pork. Here you can see mouth watering delicacies displayed in front of the restaurant.
Sorry about those reflections...

About Char Siu:
Char siu (also spells chashao, cha siu and char siew), otherwise known as Barbecued pork, is a popular way to prepare pork in Cantonese cuisine.
"Char siu" literally means "roasted on a fork," the traditional cooking method for the dish. Long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire.
The meat, typically a shoulder cut, is seasoned with a mixture of honey, five-spice powder, fermented tofu, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, red food colouring (optional) and sherry or rice wine (optional). These seasonings turn the exterior layer of meat dark red, similar to the "smoke ring" of American barbecues.

Hi Jom,
Red succulent lean meat with slightly burned on the side......made to perfection!!!! DIVINE !!!!!
I see that you're becoming quite gastronomical lately....'Chiu Si'\Chef-:)))
Nice foreground :-))))the bum/Si Fut of the roasted chicken. Eating that good for the skin , so my mother says. That's why my sisters and I used to fight for it ....Ha!Ha!Ha! who wouldn't,uh.
Very good info's ...... btw, is Yung Kee Rest related to you?
Enjoy your meal everyone ....courtesy by Jom Cris.
Ah dude!
One of my fav's! I get char siew rice near my office- always extra char siew. That and the pickled green cut chillies.
You're making me hungry now darn it!
Nice representation of a popular chinese dish!
My only suggestion is a pin stripe (2 pixel) black border before adding the white frame. Otherwise flawless...
All the best Jom,
- Dan

Nice catch here Jom. Good composition, placing the Char siu as the definitive focal point, yet also managing to get the chef in there as the background. To me it looks like big strips of sweet & sour chicken (I'm sure you've been in an "American-Chinese" restaurant. Good POV and color through the glass. I'm not sure I would have noticed the reflections as much if you dodn't point them out. I also wish the chefs hat was not cut off...but, hey...it also doesn't look like this is a "posed" shot...so great work, and a good note to match.
John
