A quick and convenient dinner is simply going to a local vendor and buying a portion of mixed Cantonese Roast Meat, containg Char Siu, Siew Yoke and Siew Aap. Translated, Sweet BBQ Pork, Crispy Roast Belly Pork and Roast Duck. This lot cost only £8. I have put a 6in ruler next to it to demonstrate the portion size here.. big enough to feed 3 - 4 adults!
For those living locally in Manchester, I actually bought this from Chi Yip, which is located in Chadderton. Their Char Siu is usually only average, but the Roast Duck is about the best I have tasted in Greater Manchester and the Crispy Pork is quite good too. The skin is usually quite crispy if you eat it straight away.

Lannae,
You must be the only chinese person in your town!
Vivien,
Yes, its a good price, and even better now if you consider the weak pound!
BangsarBabe,
We had the siu yoke and roast duck between 2 adults and a child. The char siu, which was average (imagine the red char siu you get from wantan mee), I kept and used in fried rice another day.
Best come back for a bite of these in Malaysia ;oP
wmw,
Its the Malaysian char siu I miss the most! Cant get the dark and sweet type here!
