Hong Kong - Yung Kee Famous Roast Goose

Ironically, when we had our chance with the famous bird of the orient, we were too tired do it justice and have it at the restaurant. Nevertheless, fatigue won hands down and we decided to pack half a goose back to eat in the comfort of our PJs and TV. Naturally, variety being our middle names, we had to have other complimenting supplements. Hence we stopped by a fairly crowded dessert shop and the nearby 7-11 before we finally collapsed back in the Hotel.

20 minutes later, squeaky clean and comfortable, we settled down to the much anticipated dinner. The goose was still warm after 3 hours and the smell of roasted meat made our half a goose look insufficient. One word to describe the succulent bird - euphoria...

After all the artery-bursting action and finger licking, we had some traditional Hong Kong desserts. G ordered the red bean soup which came with sago and a twist of orange peel. It tasted pretty queer to me, not used to the strange addition of orange although that's suppose to be how its made in HK. I enjoyed my strawberry sago, refreshing and just enough sour from the berries to end the oily earlier massacre.
