“We were visiting my mother-in-law in Lansing. We came to Grand Rapids this morning to run an errand and to pick up a couple of things at a Vietnamese market.When we were walking into the market, we noticed the BBQ meat hung at the window of Wei Wei Palace next to the market. We thought my MIL would appreciate a few pick-me-ups to snack on. After finishing our shopping at the market next door, we went to the restaurant to pick up a couple of things MIL would seldom have living on a farm outside of Lansing.We got half a roast duck and 1.5 lbs of roast pork to go. While hostess / waitress / BBQ meat chopper was preparing our order, an apparent long time customer walked in and started speaking with her in Cantonese. When she handed us order, I said thanked her in Cantonese. I think she was pleasantly surprised. I had placed my order in English as I wasn’t sure what language she might speak (Mandarin, Cantonese or Vietnamese) and I didn’t want to be presumptuous even though the BBQ meats sold are Cantonese cuisine.I admit that I held a it-is-what-it-is attitude approaching the quality of the BBQ meats we bought given where we are from. However, we were pleasantly and delightfully surprised how good they are. Although the skin of the roast pork could be a bit more lighter and crispier, it still packs a good crunch. It probably lost a bit of the crisp from the condensation in the takeout box during the hour ride home. The roast duck was tender and very flavourful as well.We are very happy that my MIL thoroughly enjoy them.“
