Sham Tseng Chan Kee is a roasted goose specialist. It is located in vibrant Mong Kok. The thing I…read morelearned in Hong Kong is that roast goose is favored over roast duck which is the complete opposite in the U.S. I have never seen a Chinese restaurant anywhere in North America that offers roasted goose. Not even in Vancouver or Richmond. The restaurant it is not full of glamour. This feels like a typical neighborhood restaurant. Like a cha chaan teng as it is very diner-esque. Just simple Chinese fare. I decided to get a Chinese BBQ combo which consisted of roast goose, Chinese sausage, Hainan chicken, salted duck egg and Chinese broccoli with rice. The two items that stood out were the roast goose and Chinese sausage. The roast goose tastes very similar to roast duck, though has a bit more richness. This explains why it is the preferred choice in HK. The Chinese sausage on the other hand was quite lean compared to the Chinese sausages I am accustomed to. If you want to try roast goose, Sham Tseng Chan Kee is a good place to give it a try. Though if you are particular about ambiance, then you might want to go elsewhere. This is a hole in the wall sort of restaurant.

It's early for dim sum for us in the States because we usually have dim sum for lunch around 11:30/noon but here, dim sum is great all day long. The place was already packed when I arrived and we had to share tables for a while until the gentleman we were sharing it with was ready to leave. Afterwards, we ordered off the menu, marking what we wanted and waiting for them to steam the items so that they come out fresh! We ordered a ton of dim sum, which is why you always need to go to dim sum with a group of people so that you can have a taste of everything. Of the things we ordered, I loved the chicken feet, the BBQ pork buns, and the fried turnip cakes the most. The chicken feet was extremely flavorful and meaty. The flavor was great and will definitely turn doubters into lovers. The BBQ pork buns were packed with filling. The meat was also not as red as the ones you would find elsewhere which is great cuz I'm pretty sure it's all food coloring anyways. You bite into it and expect a ton of fat but nope, it's all meat. Finally, the turnip cake was lightly fried and and stacked on top of each other. Also packed with turnips so you aren't getting jyped with a flour cake. Comes with some hot sauce to add that punch of flavor but not necessary even for spicy food lovers like me. I always say dim sum in Hong Kong beats dim sum in the States and this proves it. Everything was better IMO. (Except for maybe the Egg Yolk Buns that were supposed to be runny...they came out kind of solid and lacked that oozing filling I was expected) But besides that, the food was great, which makes up for the subpar service. Our empty dim sum dishes were not quickly picked up and they were slow to refill tea but besides that the service was OK. If you are in the area and looking for dim sum, you should drop by. It gets packed in the morning with the elderly getting their breakfast on but if you are willing to share a table, you will get a treat with the dim sum.

Specializing in Dim Sum and Cantonese fare, this place does a fabulous job executing classic dishes with flavor and excellence. Like most things Dim Sum in Hong Kong, ordering here is exclusively a la carte. Their version of char siu bbq pork (叉燒) is among the tastier experiences I've had in Kowloon, for it juicy, nicely charred on the outside, and even has a sweet finish since it's sitting in a bath of juice. Their har gau (蝦餃) may look standard but it's hardly case when one takes a bite: succulent juices remain within a nicely soft, pillow like texture of the dumpling skin, and the natural flavor of the shrimp reigns surpreme. My mouth gets watery just thinking about it. Other standouts include their turnip cake (蘿蔔糕), tofu skin roll (腐皮捲), and a surprisingly very good Teochew dumpling (潮州粉粿). I haven't had too many amazing renditions of the latter, but the impression was too real. Their lotus wrapped glutinous rice (糯米雞) was so stupid good that I was actually sad to know they ran out after 12:30pm. Considering lunch only opened 90 minutes earlier, this means they're either in super high demand or there just aren't enough during lunch hour. Either way, both would certainly apply in this case. Their dinner options are also excellent. To be fair, nothing on the menu constitutes as fancy (despite the aggressive pricing), but trust that almost everything is very good. Their roasted squab (燒乳鴿) had me sucking the bone at some point because the meat was so tender and succulent. I sing high praises for their roasted goose (燒鵝) as well, which doesn't rival the big names on HK island per se, but is still *very* good. Even the simple things like XO rice noodles (XO炒腸粉) or stirfried pea shoots (炒豆苗) with roasted garlic were excellent. Service is impeccable. They're efficient, polite, and extremely courteous. Tea is always refilled without asking and they're quite good about honoring substitutions for specialty dishes. The ambiance is a bit more quiet than I would like, but I like to think everyone is busy eating and has little time for conversation. The only drag? This place is only accessible to members of the Pacific Club and their guests. I am blessed, no doubt. I am hoping to be invited back to Bauhinia one day because good food, great company, and a view are things I can always get behind.

What sets this restaurant apart is that they are willing to bend over backwards to accommodate special requests. One person in my dining party cannot eat sugar, another cannot eat pork, and a third person in my dining party cannot eat beef. The chef artfully changed all his recipes to suit our dietary needs. All the dishes tasted just as good as the normal versions, but they cooked them to our specifications. The only dish that is special that I haven't found in any other Chinese restaurant so far is the deep fried Chinese bread buns. They're nice and fluffy on the inside because it is baked with yeast. However, because it is also deep fried, it has a crispy exterior, too. Service (***** out of *****); Unlike most Cantonese restaurants, they have impeccable service here. Dishes are cleared after every course. People check up on you often. There are several waiters for every large party instead of the usual one overworked waiter. Atmosphere (***** out of *****); Average Cantonese restaurant decor, but with a nice ocean view. Conclusion (***** out of *****); If you have special dietary needs, this is the place you want to dine in. However, it is a restaurant in a private club, so you may need to find a friend of a friend who is a member to reserve a table for you. You may need to do a bit of networking in order to land a table here. Bon apetite!

My dinner with reservations for eight consisted of people from all ages, from toddler to authoritative figure. Some of our highlights: Fried pig feet - It's served piping hot with a rich sauce for dipping. If you're horrible with chopsticks, I'd advise you to use your hands. The meat was crisp and held a lot of juice, whereas the meat was incredibly tender. You could try a bite without the sauce first but either way, this is not a dish to skip. Salt and pepper prawns - These prawns were longer than my man-hands! They are properly served with scissors so you could cut them apart for sharing purposes. It's a very simple prep but technique is important. These spice-crusted, stir-fried shrimp cannot be over-cooked or the meat will overly shrink and soften. The ones we had were pleasingly fresh and succulent. Steamed rice and shrimp in lotus leaves - With smaller shrimps, we had steam rice wrapped in lotus leaves. Flavors are light but the rice are very absorbent of the shrimp. This portion size ideally meant for groups of 5-8. If you are not up for an adventure, you could always order the plain Janes, sweet and sour pork and/or fish filet with Chinese broccoli. It's slightly different from the ones you have had in the US, but it is just as enjoyable.

Unfortunately we missed the tea time special by 9 minutes but it was fine, because everything was still pretty affordable. I like how they don't charge extra if you do the combo meats.

The roasted goose was pretty good but not sure if I was unlucky or goose in general is pretty lean, but my pieces were mostly bones. I think I only had like 5 pieces with a good amount of meat while the rest were skin and bones. The crispy roasted pork was actually my favorite out of all three meats. The skin was very crispy while the meat had the perfect amount of fat.

They had numerous menus showing all kinds of dishes and specials most of which were in Chinese. Using Google Translate helped. They did have a couple of menus with English translation too. We ordered claypot rice dishes since that was what we were craving. They had quite a few choices. I ordered the Grilled Eel claypot rice and my wife ordered the Abalone claypot rice. After a little wait our orders came out. They were served steaming hot. My order came with a bonus "fan jiu" or scorched rice on the side. They were delicious and my wife and I agreed most satisfying. The few aunties that waited on us spoke little to no English, but were friendly enough. They were patient and we were able to convey what we wanted to order. Since it wasn't busy we were able to take our time eating and rest a little after walking around all morning. Of course we also got milk tea to go with our meals. I will comeback the next time I'm back in HK.
