Cantonese BBQ and Siu Mei (烧味)
Guangdong Province — Cantonese culinary institution
Siu mei (烧味 — roasted flavour) is a complete subcategory of Cantonese cuisine: the art of hanging-roast meats — char siu, roast duck, roast pork (siu yuk), white cut chicken, soy sauce chicken — displayed in restaurant windows and sold by weight. The siu mei master (siu mei sifu) is a dedicated specialist. The quality of a Cantonese restaurant is often initially assessed by looking at the siu mei display.
