Hi5! Me tooo! :D

This looks wonderful! Your instructions and photos are easy to follow!

Thank you very much for the compliments. I tried to make it as easy as possible to that even beginner can do it :)

Woooooooooooooow really mouth watering, like I WANT IT NOW! The skin is so tempting hahaha

The skin is definitely to die for! The crispy crackling skin was superb! Only if you have time, try it out maybe? :)

Amazing, I have always wondered how this was made. What a gorgeous and detailed post, loved every bit of it. :)

I have exactly the same thought as well until there was a day where I was craving it but I couldn't get it anywhere in town. So I decided to try making it and it was surprisingly good. So, here I am now sharing the recipe for everyone :) Sharing is caring, that's what I know in life :)

Ohhhh myyyyy... Mouth watering!! 😛
I can't resist good crispy pork skin like that; oh, I do eat the meat but the highlight is the skin! Lol...

Oh my! You're extremely well spotted! The skin is the stand out point of the whole dish! Without it, it's like losing a piece of soul! Thanks for dropping by :))) See you around~

Oh my HEAVENS!!!! Those look SO Gooooooood! I LOVE pork belly!

That makes 2 of us! I love pork belly too! Even if it's not roasted. Braising, pan seared, grill and etc..If there's pork belly, I'm in! :D Thank you for dropping by :)

PORK BELLY FTW!!! hehehe :)

I've cooked so many pork bellies trying to perfect a recipe with crispy skin, yet not over-cooked meat. It was tricky, I can tell you, but finally landed on a recipe kind of similar to this one - it involved slicing the skin, pouring boiling water over it, and using salt to dry it out overnight. Kind of similar principles. But what I didn't do was use vinegar, and pack a thick crust of salt on. That sounds like it could make all the difference, thanks!

Yes, I totally understand you. The point of using vinegar at first is because the acidity from vinegar further dries out the skin and packing a thick crust of salt while baking is to make sure the skin wasn't overly broiled as so that the meat is tenderly roasted while the skin is broiled towards the end to make sure it's nicely golden brown and crispy. Hope this little trick will help you to get through your struggles. Please do let me know if it works ;) See you around~
