The beef brisket is first braised and then deep-fried. The final product is then dipped in a sassy curry sauce. The combination of beefy flavors, the crispness of the fried dough as well as the mild pungency and moisturizing ability of the curry sauce bring the dish to a strangely delectable height. The chicken is treated by a combination of frying, roasting, and smoking (with tea leaves) to concentrate the flavors of the chicken while simultaneously infusing from the tea leaves a subtle sweetness.

1 star to both the beef brisket and the chicken.

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.

Cuisine Cuisine may not be the cheapest joint in town, but when it
comes to food and service, it delivers. This Cantonese fried chicken
was expertly prepared, with succulent meat wrapped around by a
crackling crisp skin. Hints of smoky flavors, sea salt and Chinese
five spices danced around the meat in perfect choreography. What a
great treat before heading to the airport.

Rating: 2 stars for the dish, 1 star for the restaurant.

I was made aware of this restaurant after watching a video about it on
Youtube (in Cantonese):

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I14CCjXVgDM?wmode=transparent] (part 1)
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ndf64GFjcI?wmode=transparent] (part 2)

I encourage anyone who understands Cantonese to spend the time to
watch it. In short, and despite its slight tendency to proselytize, it
is basically an honest love letter to a family-owned eatery in Hong
Kong. Shing Kee has deep roots in the community, but despite its loyal
following, it is struggling to survive because of soaring costs and
threats of rezoning. The struggle seems to ease out a little (between
the time of the video's filming and my visit), thanks not only in no
small part to recent press coverage but also to the love and care
given to it by its owners and its rabidly loyal customers.

Food was great, but you have to be there to experience it. I implore you to go.

Rating: 1 star to the restaurant for its character and style.
