Quite a queue to take the tram, not the worst I have seen

Kam's Roast Goose 甘牌燒鵝

Founder was the grandson of the founder of Yung Kee.

The last I had was the year when they had their 1st Michelin star, and it was good if not better than Yung Kee.
No bookings, only queue. Made perfect financial sense for them since they had no lack of customers.
This is their 10th year of consecutive 1 Michelin Star, and they are quite an icon in that respect.

Take queue number

Queue until DL .. "等你等到没有梦"

Only half or full roast goose. No 例牌/Quarter Serving.
Dismally felt quite dry and tough, not fatty enough this time, almost diametrically different from what I had previously.

We had 濑粉 and rice as carbohydrate accompaniments.
One of my fav order ( elsewhere ) would be a 燒鵝例牌(下庄)濑粉湯.

Chicken was actually better

Even the thigh portion is insufficiently fatty.

Could be an outlier, I dunno. Combined with the atrocious queue, I am unable to recommend.

"Book The Cook "

Apart from mass production ,chilling ,packing , reheating, Cabin pressurisation and very low humidity negatively affects our sense of smell / taste, perception of saltiness and sweetness drops ( Sour, bitter and spicy flavours apparently unaffected )
