Picking the brainiest goose to indulge on

Before trying the goose head, I did not know that Chinese geese where different to geese.

The Chinese geese have a visual bump on their heads!

Anyway, I suddenly had this craving for food that tasted like goose liver and crab roe and that weird texture that is similar to sea urchin so I thought goose brain would be similar to that.

I picked this place because the geese heads looked big, so they probably were brainer here than in other shops, but not brainy enough to escape being butchered!

roast pork:
I basically ordered this as a filler. I felt that the roast here was quite expensive.
The bbq sauce was slightly too salty but it was good that they gave a few pieces of long beans instead of Chinese vegetables.

Goose brain:
It was quite difficult using chopsticks with the goose head!
I was expecting it to be quite a small portion but after it was chopped, it was a plateful of a head chopped in half and quite a few pieces of neck.
Anyway, I think I wasted quite alot as I only ate the brain and the neck!
I attempted to eat the skin but it still had some feather roots on it.
As expected the brain was delicious, it melts in your mouth! If only this goose was brainier !
The goose neck was quite interesting, the bone was pure white and the bone was really hard and sharp, however their bones seem to be extremely porous with air so that they can float.
The neck meat was nice and delicate but hard to eat.

No goose pimples for me!! @ Lo Pak

Whenever I go for goose at this place, the locals always warn me that eating goose will result in acne attacks, well I have had it for a few consecutive days and it doesn’t happen to me!!
Although the thought of an acne attack sends goose pimples forming!

Same with fried food, without drinking their so-called “herbal tea” I do not get sore throats either, the only scientific reason I can think of is that the fried food hot, so it probably burns the throat resulting in a sore throat the next day.

My favourite dish here is the goose slices (sliced goose breast) with rice, it is pure meat, and the skin has also been removed.
I always request it without sauce, because it softens the rice, and the sauce is very oily and I wonder how long its been there after cooking the geese in it.
Instead I prefer the sauce from the bags, it is much more concentrated and less greasy.

The goose slices are rich, but also depends which part they slice it from, one of is much nicer without the artery running through it.
As well as goose, I also tried the liver, very big in size too.

Although the food is good, I think the locals have a better digestive system than me, because the hygiene of roast meats in Hong Kong isn’t that good. They are usually left by the window, and sometimes there are flies.
