[FOOD] 20141224 Chan Kong Kei 陳光記飯店 @ Macau


Chan Kong Kei is probably one of the more famous restaurant in Macau serving Cantonese style roast meat found in places like Hong Kong and Guangdong.

Running for generations and serving famous dishes of roast duck/goose/pork with their unique recipe of black pepper duck, this little eatery nearby Senado Square is often packed with locals and tourists. So make sure you are early to secure a seat.

Telephone: +853 2831 4116

TO GO


The restaurant is actually located a few streets away from Senado Square and travel by foot is highly recommended. It is easily spotted by the main road, beside Luk Fuk Jewellery shop. Alternatively you can take any bus that travels through Avenida Do Infante D. Henrique Road.

SPECIALITY



You will be able to spot this yellow sign board sticking out far to grab your attention with a picture of a bald guy, Chan Kong.

The restaurant is packed during dinner time but luckily no queue was seen during my visit on Christmas Eve night. Service is mediocre and the waiter will assume you are Chinese tourist by conversing in Mandarin during order.


Ordering is pretty simple, just choose whether you want single, double or triple meat combination and to be pair with either white rice or bowl of soup noodle (wanton noodle). They also have congee, if you fancy one. The black pepper roast duck is their signature dish, hence, it is a must try.


I saved a few pieces of the duck meat before it completely submerged in the soup to preserve the texture before it became soggy. The duck meat is tender with hint of sweetness and black pepper. I ordered the soup noodle because the white rice looks too plain for me. Single serving of meat with rice or noodle combination costs MOP36 (RM15).

If you fancy some exotic dish like duck blood, you may also find it here in Chan Kong Kei with their signature duck blood vegetable. Well, I will skip that.



Good business, almost finish selling already.

SUMMARY


Another roast meat? I had a lot of roast meat during my whole Canton trip, the best being in Yat Lok in Hong Kong, followed by this in Macau. If you fancy some roast meat during your visit in Macau, Chan Kong Kei is a place you will find quality food at reasonable price.

[FOOD] 20141218 Yat Lok Roast Goose 一乐烧鹅 @ Central


Canton style roast is very popular in Hong Kong which has expanded worldwide, carrying the name "Hong Kong Style Roast" to many countries including Malaysia. It is very common to find restaurants and stalls selling HK style roast meat such as char siew (BBQ pork belly), siew yuk (crispy pork belly) and roast chicken. However, it is uncommon to find the famous roast goose in Malaysia, hence my primary mission to HK is to hunt down the best roast goose around.

When it comes to roast goose (geese), the name Yat Lok is much recommended with its 1-star Michelin rated. The shop/restaurant is located few blocks away from Central Station, HK. You will see queue forming outside the shop during lunch and dinner hours due to the small premise.

The restaurant is famous for its variety of roast meat especially the goose. You may choose the type of meat you want, then to be paired with either rice or noodles. You may also add on blanched vegetable with oyster sauce to have some green.

G/F, 34-38 Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong
香港中環士丹利街34-38號地舖
Nearest MRT Stations: Central Station, Exit D2
Telephone: +852 2524 3882
Opening Hours: 10:00am until 9:00pm (Monday until Saturday)
                           10:00am until 5:30pm (Sundy and Public Holidays)

TO GO

Yat Lok Restaurant is just 2 streets away from Cental MTR station. Just hop on to the Island Line (Blue) or Tsuen Wan Line (Red) and exit D2. Walk along Theatre Lane, across Queen's Road Central to reach Stanley Street, then turn right until you see the signboard.



SPECIALITY



When locals are queuing up for daily meal, you know you definitely cannot miss this!

Roast Goose (Drumstick + Thigh) - HKD160 (RM73)


The goose is sold in halve or quarter basis. You may choose for the upper portion (breast and wing) or the lower portion (drumstick and thigh) if you opt for quarter basis. Of course, the lower portion commands a premium, HKD160 (RM73) to be exact versus HKD140 (RM63) for the upper part.

The goose is served with special plum sauce to enhance the flavour, you may try with and without the sauce to know the difference. Goose meat generally taste very much like duck meat except that goose has a stronger flavour and has more fat. 

The skin is grilled to perfection with crispy texture and tender meat (I'm not joking because the ones I tried in Guang Zhou did not come close to HK). Pricey? Yes, but definitely worth a try. Do come early before it's sold out.

Double Roast Pork Platter - HKD50~80 (Couldn't remember, thanks to the shocking goose price)

I did order an extra roast pork (char siew and siew yuk) to try and to compare the difference between Malaysia "HK" style and the real HK style. The pork belly generally taste much alike to our own variant here in Malaysia but the char siew is the one that is different. The char siew in HK generally is sweeter and red in colour as opposed to our honey style black char siew. 

I would prefer our Malaysian honey BBQ char siew instead of the HK style to be honest. You can also choose to add on blanched vegetable (usually is Choy Sam or Kailan) with oyster sauce at some extra cost below HKD20 (again, forgotten the price, thanks to the shocking goose price)
