This divine creation, with crackling skin that almost upstages the succulent meat, is one of the specialties at An Ox Cafe (7411 W. Hampton Ave.).
Co-owner Sia Xiong’s family owned the popular, now-closed Asian market Rhino Foods, where the crispy pork earned a much-deserved cult following.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
At An Ox Cafe (named after the restaurant’s birth year on the Chinese zodiac), diners can order it with steamed white rice or the purple sticky rice shown here, along with a marvelous sour tamarind dipping sauce with just a hint of heat.
$25 for a generous portion.
