It's pretty amazing how a neighborhood roasties shop that was low key for a while, and on top of that, does not roast their meats in house, suddenly shot to fame after media personalities put in their recommendations, with famous bloggers following thereafter (or before).After buying a bottle of Yu Kwen Yick chili sauce, I was telling Anthony that this was my next stop, and he suggested that I get there early right when they open. It was a bit of a walk from the chili sauce shop to the restauran
It's pretty amazing how a neighborhood roasties shop that was low key for a while, and on top of that, does not roast their meats in house, suddenly shot to fame after media personalities put in their recommendations, with famous bloggers following thereafter (or before).After buying a bottle of Yu Kwen Yick chili sauce, I was telling Anthony that this was my next stop, and he suggested that I get there early right when they open. It was a bit of a walk from the chili sauce shop to the restaurant but they did not open until 11:30 am. Luckily across the street was Shek Tong Jui library and wet market, and the library has free WiFi :-D. Did some FB updates, checked openrice, emails, net surfing, more blog reading, and it was maybe 11:18 am. Went downstairs and was the first person waiting outside the gate. Then 5 mins later, a short line forms behind me. And right when the door opened, the line looked to be fuller than the # of seats in the restaurant!
I had to think fast, and I knew what I wanted to get.
Since this was going to be my one and only visit, I had one motto, "go big or go home".
Yes this is not Las Vegas (or Macau). But why not eat like a pig and make the most of it, while on vacation.
Roast goose leg - humongous beast! So much for those foodies from the USA and Canada always wanting to try Yung Kee, Yat Lok. While I never made it to Teen Hung in Yuen Long, I had my roast goose fix satisfied here. Oily, juicy, roasty, toasty and the skin exterior still had a nice crisp! Awesome. I was extremely lucky to be the first in line that lunch, because Po Kee immediately sold out of roast goose legs (they only had two)
Roast duck leg lai fun - I really don't know how they do it. The duck leg was equally incredible and unique in its own way. The lai fun was perfect, and there was something about the flatfish broth that surpassed several won ton shop broths in town.
Recommend that you ask for the goose and duck legs not to be chopped, so to preserve the integrity of the fatty juices and oil...and if getting lai fun you want that essence to mix with the broth!
Half lean half fatty cha siu - the marination was on the sweet side, but maaaaaaaan, talk about killer pork shoulder/mui tau cut! At this point I am holding chopsticks with greasy ass fingers from holding the goose and duck drumsticks prior, and eating like a caveman.
Not pictured, a plate of gai lan which I probably was not able to finish entirely. At this point I was extremely full.
The customers were mostly locals from the area, with a few who perhaps work in the area trying to grab a bite. It felt odd being a total glutton in here, but I'm sure the restaurant appreciated the business.
A shame this place does not have a restroom and you either bring your own tissues or buy a pack....so had to head back upstairs to the library and wash my hands there (the wet market restroom was closed for repair at the time).
