Alamak. 

I was told that no see sky is cheeky pork, or jowl. By a butcher no less. 

But its no see sky cos its the part where porky can't lift up for sky to peek. So yes, now i abit confused. Cos cheek definitely can see sky.

Chin of pork is called what if not jowl? Other than chin? Or that's it? Its called chin?

😋😂😂

 

Why would u call the jowl 不见天。when the pig looks up its exposed to sun mah. simple logic must tell u what he said is incorrect. 

The guy is mistakened. 

Belly is most common for char siew. Then it's Jowl which some use as well. Maybe they call it bu jian tian as well. But i believe the real meaning is that its supposed to be meat from the armpit. But these cuts are quite close to one another.

The real reason why 不见天 is unique.

Its like loin meat. Its an area that's not worked. But yet its somewhat fatty. 

So it's both tender and fatty enough but not as fat as your belly. But as per the above image, these parts are all close to each other. Just depend on how the butcher trim the carcass.

Honestly I don't really care cos I'm OK with belly or jowl. Haha

胛心 is actually part of the shoulder. Which I guess includes the armpit. Sometimes bit hard to visualise when u just see it at the butcher. 

Or part of what Americans call Boston butt/pork shoulder. It looks heart shaped.

I look at my shoulder....the no see sky is the underside of the shoulder. Around the armpit ba. Shoulder is what's facing out/up .

I understood Boston Butt was on the top of the pig.

Are you referring to  picnic shoulder

Yeah I think it's part of picnic shoulder. Boston butt is the top shoulder. Basically what is your trapezius muscle on a human. 

胛心 looks like a heart or a coconut. The butcher showed me before.

My butcher sold me the wrong cut. No see sky cut from him is the stretch across the arm pit.

The coconut like meat is the legit no see sky which is the underside of the upper arm.

No lah. I'm ultimately not a butcher. All pork looks the same to me haha. And nowadays I only eat 腰肉 or 排骨。
