Char siew rice is a dish common in Malaysia and Singapore. As its name implies, the dish is by its bare basics char siew served with plain rice. Regional variations may exist however. In Singapore, the dish is very often served in the same stall as that for the dominant Hainanese chicken rice, hence using the same chicken-flavoured rice, topped off with sliced cucumber, and always served with a choice of sauces comprising of garlic chilli and soy sauce. Upon request, it is also possible for both chicken and char siew to be served in the same dish. In Hong Kong, char siu is almost always served at restaurants serving other BBQ or roasted meat items, such as soy sauce chicken, boiled sliced chicken, roasted pork, duck or goose, hence it is less referred to as a dish in its own right compared to those in Singapore or Malaysia, and commonly referred to as Barbecued pork with rice. Asian action movie star Jackie Chan has mentioned in his biography that he loves Char siew rice. [ - ]
