In Singapore, you would have chanced upon a lot of roast delight stalls indicating that theirs are Hong Kong style and since i am Hong Kong back in July 2019; i guess it's a must to have a taste of authentic roast delight.
The one i wanted to try was right opposite Dorsett Mongkok Hotel but Alex found the place too messy (and dirty). Hence, i got the recommendation from a friend to check out Tai Hing (太興燒味餐廳) which has over 50 branches across the entire Hong Kong!
I found a branch just 140 meters away from Dorsett Mongkok Hotel; at this small shopping centre known as New Kowloon Plaza. It was still crowded at about 1.30 pm although we managed to secure a table in less than 10 minutes.
Lunch set options available; i am contemplating between roast goose, roast pork and BBQ pork (char siew) rice. For roast goose, however, i know there are other restaurants in Hong Kong famous for it. Hence, my choice would be the set with two roast delights; roast pork and char siew!
Fried Rice with Smoked Salmon - Alex wasn't keen with roast delights and got this instead. I gleefully stole a bite and found it above average; the issue was with the smoked salmon which increased the saltiness in every spoonful. Maybe it would find fans from smoked salmon lovers.
Double-Choice Roast Meat - the roast pork was perfect; mild salty with a significant layer of fat right below that crispy skin! This would have won praises from my usual lunch kakis (you know who you are).
Char siew (BBQ pork) was a different story even though it's not bad tasting. Just that it's lean meat and there wasn't much fats to grease and wow the palate. Nonetheless still a good roast; albeit not in the form of the char siew i was expecting.
Complimentary milk tea as part of the lunch set!
