On our recent trip to South Korea (only 1 post service hence far, to a greater extent than to come!), nosotros flew amongst Red People's Republic of China Pacific as well as intentionally picked a long transit so nosotros could sneak out for some nutrient (and shopping of course) inwards Hong Kong. The shopaholic inwards us convinced that nosotros should larn for shopping as well as thus, the nutrient hunting fourth dimension was compromised.

Nevertheless, nosotros had Lady yard New York as well as Yat Lok Roast Goose; the reviews are every bit follows:

Hailed from New York, Lady yard is (arguably) said to offering some of the world's best Mille Crepe cakes. The construct has taken Hong Kong as well as Singapore yesteryear storm. We visited on a weekday afternoon as well as the house was thronged amongst visitors! Left amongst no choice, nosotros joined the queue. The queue was non long but it took us around fifteen minute-waiting fourth dimension due to the express tables.
There are many interesting as well as promising Mille Crepes (Mille Feuille too) but nosotros could non afford to endeavour many (due to express tum infinite as well as hefty cost tags). The signature Mille Crepe was mind-blowing. The texture was pleasingly draw of piece of occupation solid as well as the layering was well-organized. The cake maintained its shape throughout the repast (unlike those nosotros had inwards Penang... landslide volition normally happen). The Vanilla-milky flavor stood out, it was delicately sweetened amongst comfortably creamy. Best launder downward amongst a loving cup of Tea.

Roast Goose Noodles/ 烧鹅濑粉 (HKD $48)
Yat Lok Roast Goose is non slow to find, it takes a spell to walk from the MTR Station. You volition necessitate to walk overstep a sloppy route as well as Yat Lok is located at the terminate of that road. Just similar virtually restaurants or Cha Chan Teng inwards Hong Kong, the table-seating is tightly arranged. You may necessitate to percentage tabular array amongst others during peak hours.
The advert mightiness advise their strength- Roast Goose; unfortunately, nosotros were travelling inwards a pocket-size grouping as well as had other eating-plans so nosotros can't afford to lodge for one-half bird. We settled for their Roast Goose Noodles (to sample). The Roast Goose was mind-blowing, dissimilar something that nosotros tin uncovering here, the remained intact-skin was crispy as well as every bit sparse every bit a paper. The fats attached to the peel were far-gone, leaving that crispy but addictive sparse canvass of skin. On the meat, nosotros intentionally picked the Goose Breast but to our surprise, the texture was tender as well as virtually succulent.
On the broth, it was clear but brimming amongst flavors. It was robust amongst the fragrance of the Goose meat (though some would fence that every bit gamey) as well as was extremely comforting for us (it was drizzling dorsum then). The noodles (Lai Fun inwards Cantonese/ 濑粉) on the other hand, was less-satisfying. The texture was a piffling likewise difficult to our liking... form of reminds us on the under-cooked Vermicelli Noodles. Nevertheless, if yous are a meat lover, produce include this house inwards your eating adventures (in Hong Kong).
Good Luck inwards your Food Hunting inwards Hong Kong!
