This could possibly be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.  It is definitely not the healthiest thing I’ve ever eaten, but for the moment that the sweet and sticky meat was in my mouth and tummy – it didn’t matter.  Sadly, I have no idea what it’s called, or how it’s made. So if you do, please let me know!!  The meat was flaky and tender. The fat was (well I don’t know as I couldn’t bring myself to eat it). I could only describe the flavour as similar to teriyaki – definitely soy, potentially hoisin or char siu sauce.  A slight hint of aniseed or master stock? We debated as to whether it was first fried or sauteed before it was simmered in its sauce, rendering the meat to be melt in your mouth and the fat gelatinous and smooth. Surprisingly, it didn’t leave an oily after taste in your mouth (unlike many of the other restaurants we went to!)
