Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A plate of roast meats over rice — glossy roast poultry, deep-red char siu and crackling-edged roast pork — with a salted egg, ginger-scallion relish, a bowl of soup and a second bowl of char siu and roast pork on the side.

The caption gives this record its weight: one of the best siu mei shops in town, old school, and the place Roger’s grandmother used to buy from. Family history is the strongest recommendation a roast-meat shop can get.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Roast poultry, char siu and roast pork
  • Ginger-scallion relish
  • A family favorite across generations

Bottom line

Archive verdict

An old-school siu mei shop with a family seal of approval — one of Hong Kong’s best, in Roger’s words.
