While walking around Tsim Sha Tsui East, I smelt a meaty aroma looming. Following my nose, I wandered upon a kiosk that so happened to be some kind of pop up food stand. This place opened around the end of December 2015?
Why is this place called Under Vacuum? Because it is translated from French's word, sous-vide. This meaning a "method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times"
This place sells slow-cooked beef that goes under an 8 or 48-hour process, or slow-cooked chicken that goes under a 2-hour process as a sandwich. Mm... soft meat.
They also sell salads, craft beers (yesssss), special drinks, and desserts (which they partnered with a local source)
I was sad that they didn't have any slow-cooked ribs the day I went, but that gives me a reason to come back! And they have a happy hour from 6-9pm: if you order any craft beer, you get 50% off on their snack menu. Whaaat. More reason for me to come back!
They have only 4 stools to sit right at their kiosk, but do not fret, there are plenty of chairs around the area, but no table. They also provide plastic gloves for you to eat with. Neat.
I waited about.. 10 minutes for my food? I think it was fairly worth it.
I wish I could drink their craft beers during lunch time and go back to work... read more
