Yat Lok Restaurant

Yat Lok Restaurant
34-38 Stanley Street, Central
Hong Kong

Yat Lok has completely changed my opinion about where best to find roast goose in Hong Kong, nevermind Central. Its goose is seriously delicious, with just the right amount of char on the outside, lingering meat juices (but not grease) between the skin and the meat, and outstanding texture (meaning fresh) for the meat.

1 star for the roast goose.

Decent burger, with a juicy patty and fresh buns. It does however need more dressing and vegetables to mellow down the punch of the meat.
