Toronto’s East Court BBQ owner Jack Tsoi has been perfecting the complex process of Chinese-style whole roasted pig for 30 years. From butchering to boiling to roasting to salting to roasting again, he makes some of the crispiest, juiciest barbecued pig in the area.

Ontario slayssass
Chinese suckling pigs/roasted pigs are the best. Dayum
Total genius in the smallest of spaces. I would eat there every day.
At the end he says: "Long time, no see". Which some may not know, is a Chinese expression translated into English. Immigrants brought this phrase to North America, and the term is ubiquitous. Pretty cool
Sum su
MSG? No thanks

This gentleman warmed my heart. If i could i would build him a gorgeous restaurant. what an angel of a human

Due to political matters, the views of some Filipinos have soured towards Chinese here in Philippines. Seeing Chef Jack accommodate some Filipino food items such as lumpia and lechon in a faraway place where there are Filipino diaspora; away from such matters we here are currently embroiled, it is quite refreshing.
Food is indeed transcending cultures and connecting people despite differences, next to music.
Chef, you made me happy!
His Cantonese sounded like that he is a humble and a pleasant guy. I would definitely be a regular customer of his delicious Cantonese BBQ.

Chinese food is gross and so are people that eat ir.
WATCHING FROM PHILIPPINES!
LOOK DELECIOUS! WE CALLED THAT LECHON HERE IN PHIL.
Epic story. Inspiring!
Every single day doing the same thing… Honesty I can't…
i find it disrecpetful to move to a country and not learn the lenguage
This is so good and surprised that u let him speak Cantonese all the way and not dubbing it!!
Thanks for the respect ✊🏿
Keeping it real
That is a human being.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The Master constantly praising his apprentice without letting him get cocky…”you’ll get it. I just have more practice. “He learns fast!”….love it!!! Talent. Passion. Much respect.
