During our recent trip to Seattle, we made a pit stop in Vancouver for supposedly the "best" Chinese food around, next to Hong Kong. Having grown up in Monterey Park, Ray and I were super excited to see and taste just exactly what the "best" consisted of.
We consulted the HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards and chose Hong Kong BBQ Master as the first destination - in our endless search for the best roasted pork. This place looked no different from your standard Chinese BBQ joint - dirty and grimy with large chickens, ducks and pigs hanging from the display case. The only difference was there were people waiting in line and out the door. Apparently, we even came at a good time - the line normally stretches pretty far around the building from what the reviews say.

At this point, the butcher yelled at us for taking pictures and Ray had to wait outside with his camera while we ordered.
Everyone did a 2-item combination rice plate that included duck, BBQ pork and chicken with green onions and garlic. We also ordered 2 pounds of the roasted pork with crispy skin to share. The consensus? Not TOO different from the meats at Sam Woo or New Capital, unfortunately. The roasted pork was flavorful and the skin was crispy but it wasn't anything we haven't had before. For the price and the wait, it's safe to say we can still rely on the comparable BBQ shops in the San Gabriel Valley for our roasted pork fix.
