This post is an ode to an amazingly delicious yet heart stopping dish, pork belly. When I first came to Shanghai this was my dish of choice. Every time we ate out, that was what I ordered. That was until I found out what was in it. I was innocently watching a chinese cooking show on TV one morning when I saw the chef pour cups of sugar and lard (amongst other things) into a dish. What could it be? PORK BELLY. It was one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen. So from that point on pork belly was no longer my go to dish on a night out. However, as horrifyingly bad this concoction may be for me, I still order it on occasion (very very special occasions) because it is so damn tasty. So my advice to you dear readers - if you haven't tried it, do! But exercise caution because you may very quickly become addicted.
Elalleqa friends.
