As a long-established roast meat restaurant that once earned a Michelin star, its reputation has long been well-known across both Hong Kong and mainland China. For someone like me who loves Hong Kong-style roast meat, this pilgrimage was definitely one of the most anticipated parts of the trip. I chose the Wan Chai flagship store, conveniently located near the MTR station. Even outside of peak dining hours, there was still a long queue at the door, and I waited about 20 to 30 minutes before being seated. The interior space is small, with tables placed close together, typical of a fast-paced Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng. However, the environment is clean and tidy, and the service is efficient; the food arrived shortly after ordering. This time, I ordered half a roast goose plus a portion of honey-glazed char siu, wanting to fully indulge and experience their classic signature dishes. The roast goose arrived with an irresistible aroma, the skin slightly crispy with a glossy sheen. When sliced, the meat inside was tender and juicy. Especially near the junction of the goose leg and breast, the fat was rich but not greasy, truly above standard. What amazed me most was the subtle charcoal fragrance, which paired with the plum sauce created a layered flavor—sweet with a hint of sourness—perfectly balancing and refreshing the palate. ✨The honey-glazed char siu did not disappoint either. The surface was slightly charred with a reddish hue, featuring a sweet and honeyed Hong Kong-style flavor. The meat was neither dry nor tough, soft with a bit of chewiness. The edges with a smoky char were my favorite part, tasting like the "essence of roasting." Eating these two signature dishes together was a double delight. If I had to nitpick, it was a bit oily towards the end, but that’s exactly the authentic characteristic of Hong Kong-style roast meat. Pairing it with white rice or rice noodles helps balance it out. As for the price, half a roast goose and char siu together cost about HKD 300, which is mid-to-high range for Hong Kong, but I think it’s very worthwhile. You can tell the care put into the ingredients, cooking, and sauce, and being able to taste this classic, authentic old flavor during a trip is an experience no high-end restaurant can replace. 🏁 In summary, Kam's Roast Goose truly lives up to its Michelin-level reputation. The flavors are solid, the quality consistent, making it a must-try classic in Hong Kong. Although the dining pace is fast and the space isn’t spacious, the lively atmosphere and authenticity capture the essence of Hong Kong’s food culture. Next time, I definitely want to try the suckling pig or the triple combo—definitely worth visiting again and again.
