How it's used
Refers specifically to Cantonese style roasted pork ribs, which are often sold at siu mei shops alongside char siu and roast pork belly. Unlike Western barbecue ribs, these are usually seasoned with a sweet and savory marinade and roasted until the edges are slightly charred. They are a staple item for casual family dinners or as a quick takeaway dish.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 豬排, which refers to pork chops. 燒骨 implies the ribs are roasted and bone-in, whereas 豬排 is typically pan-fried or deep-fried and often boneless.
