Hong Kong

Restaurant Yung Kee

Restaurant Yung Kee, located in Central Hong Kong is renowned for its Guangdong(also Cantonese or Hong Kong) cuisine and has won many awards locally and internationally. This 1-star (Michelin Guide) restaurant has a history of over 70 years and is still going strong, attracting huge crowds especially during lunch time. Although it has multiple floors, expect a waiting time of at least 10 minutes should you head there during peak times(Lunch and Dinner).

 

Yung Kee is most known for its Roast Goose, 燒鵝. The roast goose served here was indeed very tasty, with its honey glazed skin and rich tasting meat making it a real pleasure to have. Note that unlike other less well prepared roast goose dishes, the meat does not feel dry and is instead very juicy. Among other things, I also tried out the vegetables with preserved goose liver and meat. Albeit a little on the oily side, the dish was very fragrant and goes well with rice. The fried beef noodles(乾炒牛河 or dry-fried beef hor fun) was also quite well done but is not as well done as the other dishes that I have tried. Also, they do sell preserved meat and sausages at their restaurant.
