I'm a big fan of hotpot and as time goes by, I've been getting increasingly weary with going out…read morefor dinner: its expensive, the food offered is usually not the quality I expect and worst of all- I know for a fact that I can get a lot more for probably half of what I pay outside. This is how I started having hotpots at home, instead of spending loads of nice restaurants outside, I now go out and use the money to buy fresh and tasty food to enjoy at home. Leung Kau Kee is a butcher/ meat supplier on the second floor of the Taipo wet market. Its a relatively organized operation compared to the others with prepacked portions of meat everywhere; all stored in freezer cabinets or open air freezers. I am one with an eye for beef and the beef they supply is legendary with customers coming in all the way from Kowloon just to stock up no their weekly shopping. I think this explains that I can't be the only one who thinks they are on to something here. The meat products offered are not limited to beef but lamb and also other products usually only available at high end stores. They have a specific focus on BBQ and hotpt so do be careful what you pick out as they may not be interceded for that purpose. The shop also stocks up on sauces and condiments for BBQ and hotpot so you won't be going home empty handed. Prices are what I would describe as fair for such great quality.

This place is great. Sustainable and hormone free meats and other goodies. You can't beat this…read morequality. You can get great cuts of meat here or they can prepare a porchetta for you! Their burgers are also delicious. We had the lamb and the cheeseburger and they were both on point. I would love to go back for the blue cheese burger. They also have pretty good lunch sets! Be sure to stop by and peruse through their selection of meats, spices, and wine!

So, I'm jumping the chain of reviews that I have stacked up because I really liked this place so…read moremuch. It's a butcher shop/cheese shop/spice shop and they sell a little bit of wine and beer as well. Coming from the US, I miss being able to get good quality meat pretty quickly. When the wife stumbled upon it earlier she brought me when I got back from work. Their entire selection is organic, and well picked. New Zealand Lamb, pork from England, free range chicken from Hungary. They even make their own bacon and pate here. Seth, the guy behind the counter gave me a free slice and it was rich and melt in your mouth tender. We ended up buying a couple of chicken breasts which looked like well, chicken. I haven't seen a chicken here that wasn't a little gray and shady looking. I'm really looking forward to coming back to pick up some bacon and sausage or any of the other charcuterie they do in house. I was pretty happy moving here and because this place is close by, I'm even happier.

Amazing iced cappuccinos, really fresh and moist muffins and lovely service. There is a cafe in the…read moreback if you want to sit and enjoy. But it's a good place to stop to grab a coffee on the go.

TL;DR - epic food and good wine somewhat spoiled by poor service and either jingoism or racism…read more Restaurant has both a menu and a butcher. Order off the menu or walk to the butcher across the restaurant. There, select your meat, temperature, side, sauce. Provide a table number. My filet was among the best I've ever had. My companion's lamb burger was perfect. The wine selection is good and whoever put together the list selected some good options All that said, there was nobody to greet us at the door and empty tables had reserved placards. We looked lost and awkward and eventually asked to see a menu and for an explanation. That person then vanished. A possibly Persian man returned and asked if we wanted a table but then told us there was nowhere in the restaurant. There is no list -- or so we were told. Then the original person returned and without explanation we had a table. Why? Had he racially profiled us? Was he just rude? I have no idea, but he consistently gave the most cursory and minimal responses throughout the night. The Persian(?) took our menu order but when asked about the butcher just motioned across the restaurant and said "go ahead." He didn't provide a table number so -- yet again -- another waiter had to be asked. Service was slow and encounters with waitstaff were sporadic, at best. The guy next to us received a 10% discount without even asking because his service was so delayed. All staff speak perfect English. Prices are moderate for Hong Kong but reasonable for ROW (rest of world).

There are only two words to describe The Meatery on Mosque Junction in the Mid Levels, "Oh, yeah!"…read more As the name would suggest, they sell meat and lots of it. But this isn't the stuff you get in Park n Shop which seems to come from questionable farms in China. This is the finest organic meats, primarily from Oz and NZ. In terms of the raw meats selection, The Meatery have meat cuts, as well as sausages and burgers, hand-made in store. They are also a full service carvery, deli and bakery, so as well as the best in raw meats, you can get cooked meals like pies, stews and kebabs, breads, and wines, beers and ciders. A few other nice touches include their gift card options (I suppose for the man who already has everything), their "meatmaster" loyalty programme, and also their delivery options via Cuisine Courier. It is a bit pricey, but you are paying for absolute quality, in both the meats, the meals, and the advice dispensed by the extremely knowledgable staff. The location is a little out of the way up on Mosque Junction, but this is definitely the perfect place to come if you are planning BBQ.

The fantastic range of sausages at The Meatery puts frozen supermarket sausages to shame. In fact,…read moreall of the meat is fantastic but extremely expensive - expect to pay in the region of $1200 for a rack of pork to serve four. Ouch! The quality is uncompromising however and the staff can recommend the best way to cook it up if you are unsure. They will even hand make you burgers if you like and the results are delicious. The Meatery also sell ready to go meals ranging from hearty beef bourguignon to shepherds pie - comfort food is most definitely their forte! The meals are great for grabbing on the way home on the escalator and are probably the closest you'll come to a home cooked meal from the Mid Levels/Soho takeaway world but, again, the food doesn't come cheap! Expect to pay from $119 up for a portion for one - only marginally cheaper than dining in a restaurant. If you can afford it after your meat purchase, the Meatery also stocks wine, beer and a couple of lovely ciders. The staff are friendly and the shop front is an adorable and colourful addition to Mosque Street. If it weren't for the prices, I'd buy my meat here every time Frustratingly, the opening hours seem dependent on staff vacations so don't bet on being able to pick up your Sunday roast that day - I've happily shopped at The Meatery one Sunday only to find the place in darkness the following week. .

If you love oysters, fresh food then you should not miss this place…read more Ocean Three paved the way in Hong Kong in offering fresh seafood and fine meats at a discounted price- I mean discounted in the sense that you could pick up coffin bay oysters at 14 HKD each; not cheap by some countries standards but dirt cheap by how much restaurants and hotels charge you. Its innovative in the sense that you cannot dine in, even the shop itself is rather rudimentary- set in an industrial building you will not find it by just walking around. It is literally a warehouse location with a huge fridge and you just go there to pick up your orders. Apart from oysters, they offer sea urchin (a delicacy in these parts), prawns, scallops, crabs. Meat wise they offer fine angus beef steaks and lamb shanks. They do offer more but their menu is just too long to describe here; what I could say is that their prices are almost unbeatable though there are some new competition popping up around town in trying to share this growing market. The drawbacks of this place? well its not easy to find, if you don't drive then it is a bit of a trek to come pick things up, you have to shuck oysters yourself (NOT an easy task for the uninitiated) and more importantly; you have to order at least 2 days before so you have to plan ahead if you want to buy from them. I would say this though: for the price you pay and the quality they give you- its alright to plan ahead because they never let you down.
