What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was mesmerized by the traditional roasting process at Sun Kwai Heung, describing the specialized cylindrical oven as looking like a space shuttle. He was particularly blown away by the 'life-changing' extra fatty char siu, noting its unique springy texture and rich glaze. He concluded that the skill involved in balancing the char, fat, and maltose sweetness makes this some of the best barbecue in Hong Kong.
