I always take the Tung Chung line to Hong Kong station for one client of mine, and for some reason I'm always meeting them around lunch time. Why we have never rescheduled to allow for arguably the most important meal of the day, I do not know. But a nice way to compensate for missing out on some sit-down meal time has been K-roll's on-the-go korito and bulgogi rolls. This is the third branch of K-Roll, the first branch being in Sheung Wan. Admittedly, the lines for the eateries in the station are much longer in lunch time, but you can order a K-roll here in the lunch rush and still expect to have it in your hands 5 minutes later, no problem.
These kimbap rolls are actually bigger than a standard bite, and there are around 10 pieces in one box! For around $50, this is a steal. My favourite is by far the bulgogi K-roll, which can keep me fueled for the rest of the day - or at least, until dinner. Comparatively, the Korritto - Korean burrito - is a coned-wrap, filled with similar ingredients like bulgogi, chilli fish, spicy pork, tofu, or tuna salad, depending on your fancy. What I love about K-roll is that, although you do feel full after devouring your takeaway box of goodies, it feels much lighter and healthier than some other lunch options out there. Then again, one too many melted cheese dukbokkis from here and you may disagree.
Important notes: they don't take card at this station outlet, so you need to have your Octopus topped up or cash in hand. And obviously - seating options are limited, but you can order for your office if you've enough of a group. Additionally, last time I heard - they weren't open on Sundays, but this might change soon! read more
