About

This place is famous for a good reason. For just 28 hkd, you can get a delicious bowl of beef brisket and noodles. The beef brisket melts in your mouth and is packed with flavor. If you don´t like beef, there is no reason for you to come here.    

Directions

The best way to get here is probably to walk along Hollywood Road from Central / Soho, and look for the turning of Gough St dropping down on right hand side. Gough Street then runs down hill and loops round to the the right. Be careful because there is another small noodle shop on the same street, with a similar name. This is the one on the corner with openings, entrances on west and south sides. The address is:

G/F, Kau U Fong, 21 Gough Street, Central District, Hong Kong 

 

Cost

HK $28 for a bowl of old-style beef brisket.

Notes

Closed on Sunday - closes early in the evening.

About

Their famous Macau-style sandwhiches are very tasty, and their curries are excellent. Everything I have tried here has been very good and authentic. You MUST have a pou taat (egg custard tart) for dessert here 

Directions

This is inside the Shun Tak Centre. I think on the first floor - towards the western side of the centre. If you enter the centre from the MTR you need to pass the Starbucks and keep going. The restaurant has a Po Tat (Macau egg tart stand just outside). 

Cost

Around HK $50-80 per person

About

Serves Malaysian and Indonesian food for really bargain prices. The sambal chicken/pork and tamarind fish are some of my favorites, but everything there is excellent. The soups are also very good and quite different (in a good way).

Directions

33 Peel Street, a small lane perpendicular to the lower side of Hollywood Rd, in Soho. From the Escalator, walk along Hollywood Rd, passing ‘Globe’ bar on your right, keep walking, passing a japanese restaurant with wooden walls. Once you have passed this, look down the alleys on your right, I think it is the third one along, but you can see the sign from the main road. The lane is opposite a shop with a pink neon cow in its window.

Cost

Around HK $50 a person
