Overview

In Liaoyuan, Jilin, Xiaojun's roasted silkworms are freshly skewered and grilled until fully cooked with crispy skin and juicy meat. Roasted moth and green silkworm are also popular dishes. In Baise, Guangxi, Pingjie's roasted pig eyes are cooked to crispy perfection. Live Brother's grilled abalone in Guangzhou and Liuge's roasted pork brain in Chongqing are both savory delicacies. Lao Wang's grilled lamb balls in Xuzhou are tender, chewy, and aromatic. Oil belly is grilled until tender and rolled up in a special pancake for a unique texture. Barbecue with heavy flavors is a rare treat to share, and the alluring and slightly dark taste of barbecue and the night is an eternal understanding.
