Where to get good Roast Goose pasalubong

Everytime I go to HK, there's one thing that my dad requests for pasalubong - its Roast Goose. Yep, the whole bird. That would pose a problem, given the size of the bird and the Avian Bird Flu warnings.Oh well...

There are a lot of places that sell good roast goose in HK, (there's Yung Kee at Central), but if that won't work around your sched, let me suggest going to Java Road/ Electric Road in North Point. This place has a lot of stalls selling Roast Goose, they will wrap the it for you and put in a nice box, just request for the sauce to be separated or  you might risk getting the whole thing confiscated at the airport. The Roast Goose is a lot cheaper compared to other places (Welcome to North Point), they also have other items like Roast Duck or Roast Pork, Barbecue Pork, White Chicken- all good to go. This place is near the market, just take Java Road, its near the Java Road Municipal Building/ Cooked Food Center.

 

Tiangge/ bazaar that sell clothes for mature ladies, walk straight ahead to MTR exit and North Point Ding Ding Tram

NB: North Point holds a lot of good memories for me,
this is where we usually stay during our HK trips when we were young.     
Plus the people here are really helpful and friendly.
Plus the food is cheap.

Roast goose -tender and delcious

You want good roast goose without paying a high price? Forget Yung Kee, go to Yat Lok.
 We discovered this place 5 or 6 years ago in a Hong kong trip with my sisters, when there were long queues of employees outside. This place even made it to the 2011 Michelin guide.

Last week, we rediscovered the place after going through a flight of stairs at Queens Road (finding this place was a bit tricky though) Just turn right after you see a Vietnamese Resto
(I forgot the name but we will try it also sometime)

Just seeing those roast duck on their window makes makes my mouth salivate. The roast goose is still very plump and juicy and oh so good. Nothing special with the rice though.

We ordered the Roast Goose rice and Roast Goose noodle
With a side plate of choi sum and a steaming hot bowl of dumpling soup.
It was good and filling, and did I mention the slightly salty and crunchy skin?
The goose was not oily unlike other places. Delish!

They use glass noodles a bit like the Korean chapchae

Dumplings, pretty good as well
