Never been a char siew(caramelised roasted meat) fan, until I was exposed to the 'real' kind - which is 'black', not from being burnt, but the caramelisation of sugars from the long hours of roasting. It's not red-dyed like the usual we see.
Caramelised aromatic outer layer, when paired with a good cut of meat that is the right proportion of fat and lean - that is 😍. This was almost it, save for the fact that it was too lean because all the 'good' parts were sold out. There was that 1 last piece that made the magic though. Not cheap - $44 for this 3 combination platter meant for 6... but 4 can easily finish
