Lets do this again this weekend - ISO BEST Crispy Pig in Chinatown

[r0cc00]

So last year - wrote in this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/752313

that I was looking for Crispy Pig & got some wonderful recs & a good education on differences between:

Golden crispy skinned roast pig (boon fay sow = 1/2 fat 1/2 lean.)

vs.

Red skinned bbq Roast pork (cha siu

)

But when we got to our destination of choice - Great NY Noodletown - it was out :(

So are the recommendations for Crispy Roast Pig the same this year or has some new establishment popped up?

I wonder if Great NY Noodletown would reserve or hold one for you if you called ahead?

As much as I love your idea & boldness, it would be too much food for just the 2 of us LOL!

Thanks for the suggestion fourunder!

Not the best, but don't discount Sun Sai Kai on the corner of Baxter and Canal in a pinch. If I can recall, they always have suckling pig as well. There are some that like Wing Wong, @ 102 Mott Street, though I have never been so I cannot give you any first hand knowledge.
