^yep. it’s because char siu sauce they’re using… wiki: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char\_siu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_siu) HOWEVER…i prefer roast pork much better. wiki: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roasted\_pig](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roasted_pig) unfortunately, we don’t have roast pork around buffalo…because we don’t have a “roast house,” meaning chinese restaurant with fresh roast pork… these stuffs are common in big cities chinatown though… ---
