Extremely thirsty after having Kam's Roast

Kam's Roast Goose is the new talk in town so decided to check it out.

There was a huge queue outside already.





I know this place is famous for roast goose but I had the roast pork instead.
Additionally I got the soy roasted beans and the preserved egg.

Price list for takeaways:

I was surprised with the extra beans and egg that it was only $65.

Roast pork:

Nice lean slices which were not too sweet or salty but there was a fair bit of MSG because I was thirsty all afternoon.
They were quite generous with the roast pork.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Preserved egg:

Compared to other preserved eggs I have tried, this one was really bitter.

The yolk was thick and gooey with some parts of the yolk still yellow which made it perfect with rice.


There was pickled ginger with the egg but it was too sweet.

Soy beans:


The beans were hard, sweet and chewy and went well with the rice and preserved egg.
I was quite surprised for $20 you get quite a fair amount of beans.

Roast Lamb at the Canny Man

For roast dinners, I normally go to Delaney's but recently roast lamb was on the menu at Canny Man, so I went there.

I started off with cabbage and bacon soup which was clear and warming because their air conditioning was quite cold.

Then came the roast lamb.

Usually it comes with mash but their chips are perfectly fried which was why I changed the mash to the chips.
The highlight had to be the vinegar mint sauce with finely chopped mint and the gravy which went deliciously with the thinly sliced juicy lamb, not to mention the perfectly golden chips which were crispy on the outside and soft inside.
It was so delicious and reminded me of the lovely roast dinners that the dinner ladies whipped up for lunch.

I loved the brunch because there was a meat for everyone, the lamb's belly was the best, it was soft and gelatinous. The belly was really interesting because the gaminess of it was actually really nice and not like the usual gaminess that doesn't taste nice.
The only thing I wished for would be mint sauce.
As well as the meat, the roast potatoes were divine, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Disappointing roast pork

新一派 味道 (Tseung Kwan O)
Honestly, I had no expectations of this place but it turned out far worse.

This place claims that their BBQ roast pork is good.

Anyway when I ordered, the waitress was a bit weird, after ordering one dish, she was rushing me to order a second dish as if I was not ordering enough.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Menu:





Most sets cost around $52-$55 which includes rice, vegetables, soup and a main dish.
The price is quite debatable because if you are getting so many items then $5x is a good deal but if the items in the meal are inexpensive then paying $5X is rather a waste!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Photos of the restaurant:



The restaurant is reasonably comfortable hidden at the corner of some mall.

Roast pork with black pepper and honey:


The roast pork was just sweet, the black pepper was tasteless and having Chinese roast pork always depends on luck.
This time all the pieces were fatty. Great! NOT!

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Red beancurd pork knuckles with beancurd skin:


The pork knuckles were on a bed of beancurd skin which soaked the beancurd sauce.
However the sauce was a bit gritty, it seemed like there were wood shavings in it.
As for the pork knuckles, they were too soft and had some prickly stubble that was not shaved properly.


Chinese radish:


The Chinese radish was good but the broth ruined it because it had a rancid pork smell.
