Mott 32

Hong KongChina
Standard Chartered Bank Building
Recommended by Time Out Hong Kong and 8 other food critics.
"Served piping hot, the pork arrives crackling on the table. The sugar coating is light and crispy, giving way to an incredibly soft, fluffy and fragrant Iberico pork – it’s one of the softest we’ve tasted for a long time, with a rich, meaty taste."

Kam's Roast Goose

G/F Po Wah Commercial Center
Recommended by Maureen Ow and 2 other food critics.
"Kam’s version of BBQ pork belly is a fatty, flavorful knockout. It appeared on our table as a glistening mound of thick, meaty chunks slathered in a gooey dark red sauce. The first bite hushed us — the meat was so soft and packed with flavor I could almost feel it melting on my tongue."

Yung Kee

Hong KongChina
32-40 Wellington Street
Recommended by Glenn Lee and 2 other food critics.
"The char-siu, I thought, was great too. It’s definitely different from what we’ve grown accustomed to in Singapore – a lot less sweet, thicker slices and well, more flavourful."

"Never before had I tasted char siu so tender and moist that it pretty much fell apart into meat kernels at the poke of my chopsticks."

"The Black Kurobuta pork is of Japanese DNA but grown in Northern China. Sauce is poured on top of the pre-heated rocks, to create steam to arouse your senses, a signature dish at all outlets of Man Ho restaurant. Interesting!"
