My old mentor is in town. He treated me and the wife to dinner.
Su Zhou is a city in southeastern China that is associated with the dish more commonly referred to as tongpo pork (see most recently 6.246 Tungpo-Style Braised Pork Belly).
The rendition at Summer Palace was excellent. Silky smooth fat and perfectly seasoned, plus crispy bokshoy and fluffy mantou buns.
