Meat We Love More

1. Meat We Love More

The Liangshan small pig meat from Xiao'er, Xichang, Sichuan, is skewered onto long bamboo sticks and roasted on a big fire pit. The fatty meat is not greasy and the lean meat is rich in flavor. The Yunnan Zhaotong beef skewers are quickly grilled over high heat, ready to eat once cooked through. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, with an endless taste. The roasted whole lamb from Weili, Xinjiang is baked in a pit oven and cooked by both roasting and braising methods. The heat is evenly distributed, resulting in a moderate crispiness and delicious flavor. The grilled live oysters from Zhanjiang, Guangdong are opened, slightly cleaned, and placed directly on charcoal fire. The juice from the oyster meat makes for a delicious taste. Bringing together delicacies from all over the world, including land animals and sea creatures, this feast is a true temptation for those who cannot live without meat at night.
