Kam's Kitchen

Top choice in Wan Chai & Northeast Hong Kong Island


A family feud at the venerable Yung Kee in Central created this excellent-value spin-off. Kam's Kitchen serves classic, labour-intensive Cantonese dishes like prawn stuffed with crab roe and oysters sizzling with ginger and onion. And, of course, the famous goose is still here, as a roasted bird or with its fat drizzled into fried rice.

For lunch only, you can order roast goose on rice for HK$60 – dingy dining room aside, the bird is every bite the equal to Michelin-lauded Kam's Roast Goose, and without the lines.
