With queues out of the market from the time they opened, it’s no wonder the team at Three Uncles were excited to bring this much loved food to Brixton to make it available to their customers, just as they would find it across the Far East. All of Three Uncles’ roast meat recipes use the classic Cantonese technique; marinate on the inside, rub on the outside, hang and fan dry overnight, roast, rest, and serve.
“Siu Mei brings back treasured memories for us; growing up in Hong Kong in the 70s we would visit the famous roast meat cafes near Wan Chai market and watch the skilled chefs chopping delicious chunks of roast duck and char siu pork. Siu Mei remains one of the most popular types of food for everyday Hong Kongers, but in London we found you can only really find it in restaurants in Chinatown.”– Pui Song, Cheong Yew & Mo, Three Uncles
