Dinner at Kam’s Roast Goose: A Michelin-Starred Hong Kong Classic

By

Kam’s Roast Goose

226號 Hennessy Rd, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

We decided to try our luck at Kam’s Roast Goose on Hennessy Road, Wan Chai—a name that’s practically legendary in Hong Kong. From afar, the queue looked short, but as we got closer, reality hit: it was already a long line. Tip: Don’t just wait in the queue—head straight to the counter, get your queue number, and indicate your number of pax. We started waiting at 5:40 PM and finally got seated at 6:40 PM—a solid hour.


The Vibe

Don’t expect luxury—Kam’s is a small, bustling shop with about 30 seats, where the focus is squarely on the food. The atmosphere is lively, tables are close together, and queues are inevitable. It’s authentic Hong Kong dining at its best.

What We Ordered & Loved



  • Century Egg (皮蛋)
    This was my favorite! Century from here is definitely another level. The egg is marinated until the white turns translucent, and the yolk has that soft, creamy texture reminiscent of a ramen egg. Absolutely delicious.


  • Roast Goose (燒鵝)
    We went big and ordered two servings of Xia Zhuang (下庄)—the goose drumstick portion. It’s pricier than the typical half goose, but worth it because we love the juicy, fatty drumstick meat. The goose itself was super fatty, indulgent, and well-marinated. The skin wasn’t ultra-crispy, but tender and easy to chew. Definitely better than what we had at Hung Delicacies.
    Sadly, the suckling pig and roast pork were sold out by the time we ordered—so go early if you want those.

  • Prince Kinsen Noodles in Goose Fat & Scallion Noodles
    We tried both noodle options. Honestly, I still don’t love the Hong Kong-style stringy noodles—they’re just not my thing, even with the rich goose fat.

  • Blanched Choy Sum (菜心)
    A simple dish done right. Perfectly blanched—not too raw, not too soft—with a clean, fresh taste that balanced the richness of the goose.

The Experience

Service is fast and efficient once you’re seated. The energy is infectious—chefs carving goose in full view, walls adorned with Michelin plaques, and diners savoring their plates of golden roast meats. It’s not fancy, but it’s iconic.

Important Tips

  • No Reservations: Kam’s operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Takeaway Option: You can order immediately for takeaway, but if your hotel is far, you’ll need to find a spot to eat—something to consider.
  • Expect a Wait: We waited an hour during dinner time.
  • Go Early: Popular items like suckling pig and roast pork sell out fast.
  • Queue System: Get your number at the counter right away—don’t just stand in line.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

By
I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

By
I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went).  I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the  Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Wedding solemnisation at Chijmes - Review

By
Having a romantic church wedding is the dream of every girl, myself included. But unless you're a christian, its almost impossible to hold your wedding solemnisation at a church.  In japan, the church wedding concept is very prevalent and it comes at a price. One such place is Hotel Monterey Kyoto with a "church" extension that can fulfill a bride-to-be dream church wedding. So if we love to hold a wedding at a chapel in Singapore, Chijmes is the place to go. Chijmes is a beautifully structure historic building complex in Singapore that has been gazetted as a national monumnet. It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) and their convent quarters known as Caldwell House. It has been restored for commercial purposes, such as shopping, dining and an entertainment centre. Here is the views of the former church decorated as a solemnisation venue. For solemnisation, the 2 aisles will serve as the d...
