Big Wong King

First time in NY Chinatown. Being new in town, not knowing which restaurant to dine. We simply chose one that looks decent enough.

Instead of a pot of tea, we had 2 glasses of hot tea.


Rice with Roast Duck and Roast Pork Combination $4.5. In Sydney and Singapore, Roast pork is a piece of pork belly roasted until the skin is crispy crackling. It is called siew yuk (in cantonese) or sio bak (in hokkien). This is the second time that I ordered Roast Pork in NY and it came what we called Barbecued Pork (Char Siew) instead.

"Char Siew" literally means "roasted on a fork," the traditional cooking method for the dish. Anyway, Char Siew = Roast Pork here.


Roast duck and wontons with noodles $5.5


This Bean Chili is the best ever ~
