Where to buy a Whole Roast Pig in South Bay?

Throwing a halloween/birthday party and I need to find a place that sells a whole roasted pig that is around 20-30lbs in the South Bay. It would be awesome if the place does it chinese style with a nice glistening crispy skin. I know there is lots of places up in SF or Oakland but I would like not to drive that far. Does anyone have suggestions for South Bay or even Peninsula or southern East Bay? Thanks!

      I've had the roast pig from Ton Tho Tuong (the restaurant website you linked), and it's good but not nearly as tasty as Cheung Hing's. But it may be more convenient for the OP. Here's the post, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1940...

      I think the Filipino pigs are nice and crispy. I love the skin. Try Ong Ping they roast about 200 pigs a day. www.ongpin.com

        The roast pig from Cheung Hing in Millbrae is excellent. We've ordered a 25-lb one before.

            I will second Cheung HIng, a smaller operation so you will need to place your order early. On more plus is that there is parking lot right next door to it.

          Try the catering department in the deli section at your local Ranch 99.

            I will definitely check with 99 but I thought they require you to order a large pig (40-50lbs).

              Stop by 99 in Mt View. Only need one day notice and they have roast suckling, medium and large pig sizes. I think prices range from $138 - $195. The lady couldn't tell me how much each size weighs. Will call around at a few other places.
