Kam's Roast Goose (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

After the dust has settled on the Yung Kee saga, family of the late Kam Kwan-sing has taken some time to ponder on their future plans and this week, they have finally come out of the hiatus with their two new restaurants in town.

The "Kam" family has a long history with gourmet food in the city and I was excited to try their signature roasted goose first hand.

When I arrived at Kam's Roast Goose, the place was already packed with fans waiting patiently for the famed goose.



Apart from their signature roasted goose, the small restaurant also has other patented dishes such as the famous preserved eggs and pickled ginger with runny yolk on the menu.

But our server delivered the bad news to us right when we were about to place our order. There was no roasted goose! All sold-out during lunch he said. So I had to settle for the goose marinated with house special soy sauce.
 


The "Prince" noodle (direct translation from the menu) served with char siu was also a fairly good choice.



The Kam family's roasted goose has been part of Hong Kong's gourmet traditions for decades. Too bad I wasn't able to taste it here first hand. I will definitely come back some other time!
