Sio Bak
Sio Bak (roasted pork or roasted pork belly) is a popular dish among the Chinese in Penang. You can often find street vendors selling sio bak along with char sio (barbecued pork) and larp cheong (Chinese sausages). Some add roasted chicken to their offerings. What makes sio bak delicious is the caramelized skin of the pork which is roasted to crispy and oozing with oils and sauces. The meat chosen for sio bak comes from the belly. It usually has layers of fat alternating with the meat. The fat gives sio bak its taste.
Sio Bak is definitely not for the health conscious. Not is it for people who can only consume halal or kosher food. Or vegetarians. But if you are none of the above, and you're the type the regard fatty food as good, then sio bak is a delicious threat.
Sio Bak can be eaten as it is (some people actually enjoy it as snack), taken with rice, or used as ingredient in Chinese dishes. It also enhances the taste of fried rice.
