Hong Kong BBQ

Roast Duck at Hong Kong BBQ in San Francisco's Portola neighborhood.
Hong Kong BBQ is one of the first Chinese restaurants Robin turned me into nearly 4 years ago. It specializes in Hong Kong-style roast meats, and you can get a good, huge meal here for not very much money. If you come here, it would help to brush up on Cantonese.



Above & below: the complimentary house soup which they bring just before every meal. Every time I've been, it's been a different soup. This time: pork, carrots, soybeans and lotus root.


Roast Duck, served over white rice, with green cabbage sauteed in stock, and a bowl of pan drippings with Chinese five spice powder. Perfectly cooked meat. Plenty of variety meat selections like gizzards (they were out of my favorite, duck liver), and also sometimes they have harder to find meats, such as they had yesterday: House Special Squab.



Above and below: Roast Pork. I've had this before and the skin is borderline Lechon, luscious tender meat, with hints of the BBQ "red ring." Both these plates $6.
