Hong Kong Barbecue

Hong Kong is famous for its siu mei, a blanket term that covers many roasted meats. Although siu mei is easy to find in many American cities with a vibrant Chinatown, it's a rarer treat in Denver, where Chinese restaurants tend to offer a mishmash of specialties from all over the country. And Hong Kong Barbecue is no exception – except for its roasted meats. Owners Sun and Jian Yu are originally from Hong Kong, and while their vast menu is loaded with such familiar-sounding items as kung pao chicken and lemongrass beef, as well as fried rice, noodles, hot pots and even curries, many of those dishes are made to order and feature mouth-watering meats. You can also order cuts of siu mei served over rice — or simply buy a whole roasted duck or pig to take home.
