Suckling Pig<br />
Suckling Pig<br />
This time-honoured classical Chinese dish, is<br />
barbequed to a crisp and chock full of fl avour. Its<br />
goodness lies in its delicately crispy skin, which is<br />
roasted to perfection. The subcutaneous fat boils<br />
and burst through the skin, making little blisters that<br />
render the crackling super-crunchy. Make sure you<br />
book at least one day in advance to ensure that you’ll<br />
be able to taste this juicy morsel that will undoubtedly<br />
send you to gastronomic heaven!<br />
