Crispy roasted pork belly is one of the most coveted Vietnamese dishes and it was definitely one of my dad's favorite dishes that he was very proud of. It's not an easy dish to make, it's actually one of the trickiest and most finicky dishes where anything can go wrong. 9/10 times it would turn out to his liking but he would be so nervous and anxious during the whole cooking time. I still have memories of my dad sitting in his white apron and boxers in front of the oven waiting like a hawk over it's prey.

Cooking lobster can be a bit intimidating but broiling lobster splits in the oven makes it much easier. I got frozen lobsters that have been cleaned and split in half.  Then all I have to do is broil and douse them in an herby melted butter. For the herb butter, I like to melt down butter and then stir in some fresh cilantro, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, lemon zest and a little bit of red chili.
