I’m sure you’ve heard of this famous restaurant. It’s the only Chinese restaurant to be listed in Fortune Magazine as one of the Top 15 Restaurants in the World. Well, Wiki said that. Not me.
Yung Kee is conveniently located in the heart of Hong Kong Central District. It’s 4 minutes from the MTR Central Station (Exit D2) on foot. Yung Kee’s gold building was eye-catching and have a very oriental feel. Staff were polite and service was alright.
According to all guide books, roasted Goose at Yung Kee, Wellington Street is a must.
No wonder. Yung Kee did impressed me with this moist, and undeniably delicious roasted goose. But the skin is not as crispy as I thought it would be.
As for the Century Eggs, these ‘hundred-year-old-eggs’ do have an ancient look to them. lol. These are duck eggs, preserved in potash and salt for several weeks to several months. After the fermenting process, the egg white turns dark grey and the yolk blackish.
Century eggs is a Chinese delicacy that I cannot get enough of. I love having these odd looking oval stuff in my porridge! It also tastes odd. But oddly tasty. The yolk is especially flavorsome. Preserved sliced ginger goes really well with the egg because it balances off the egg’s aftertaste.
Ordered another side dish. It’s a clay pot mix of vegetables and goose feet. Neither bad nor spectacular. Kinda plain though. Would not order this again.
I’m not sure if I will come back to Yung Kee the next time I dropped by Hong Kong. It seems to be popular among tourist and I want to try something the locals would. Perhaps I’ll give Yue Kee a try after reading this raving review by My Wok Life. Hm and I agree that Yung Kee did made the wallet lighter.
