Guyana @ 50 - Cantonese Roast Pork

The influence of various world cuisines can be experienced throughout the Caribbean. In some countries, it is easy to see the direct influence of certain provinces, and regions, of large countries and continents, like Africa, India and China. In Guyana, Cantonese is the style that dominates our Chinese food. Like many Guyanese, I cannot get enough of it.

This Cantonese-style roast pork belly with its crispy skin takes time to make but it is totally worth the effort. Served as a cutter or as the meat component of a main dish, along with some hot Guyanese pepper sauce you'll be drooling, and won't want to stop eating until all is gone.
