Pork Belly at Hing Kee

On our way to see Talib Kweli at The Shrine on Friday, we hit up Hing Kee for dinner. I've praised its amazing ramen in my other blog already - seriously it's fantastic - but I figured I'd let you know it's also a place to find some pork belly.

Pork belly with chinese bread. It's pretty tasty, though not for the squeamish - you're getting straight up jiggly fat here people. I mean, there's more meaty parts too, but it's still a whole lot of jiggle. I have a hard time with that, myself, but if you sammich it into the bread, it's pretty frickin' awesome.
