You can’t go very far in Hong Kong’s most populated areas without seeing a Siu Mei stall. Among different types of Cantonese barbecue goodness, roast goose always has a superior place. In fact, no one cooks a better goose than the Cantonese. If you fancy trying Hong Kong’s signature dish of the best quality in a local setting, Yat Lok is where you should go.
Most famous for its meticulously prepared roast goose, Yat Lok has been delighting gourmets in town since 1957. Standing firm and proud near the famous goose giant Yung Kee, the small local joint prepare their glistening geese with marinade of a secret recipe and 20 preparatory steps, before chargrilling them to perfection.
Even Anthony Bourdain was a fan of Yat Lok’s flavors. That’s why this tiny no-frills diner is often queued up. Expect to share a table with strangers and keep your elbows tucked in. Consider takeaway if your accommodation is nearby.
You might wonder why the left leg is so glorified by the locals, but it is the most prized part. No clue how to pick a good cut? Just follow the simple principle: the more you pay, the better your meat will be.
Char Siu is also great as the pork shoulder is tender and melty. Roast pork belly and soy-marinated chicken are also recommended. Pair your meat with rice or slippery noodles.
Though the staff speak little English, there’s a menu in English.
