Literally, Char Siu means "Fork Roast" in English and the translation somehow does reflects to the dish. This is so because the shops usually display the Char Siu (Usually referred as Roasted Pork) by hanging (skewered with long fork) them in the window. Hence, the name "Fork Roast".
Char Siu is actually barbequed pork meat and the meat is usually shoulder cut of domestic pork.
Char Siu also got its name at 28 on World's 50 Most Delicious Food readers' poll complied by CNN Go in 2011.
