5 best beef briskets in Hong Kong, and possibly the world
In this town, Kau Kee Restaurant is synonymous with beef brisket. Poon took over his father's shop more than 20 years ago. "This job is dirty, demanding and harsh," Poon says. "But happiness is when I can sustain the brand that my old man founded."
We got beef in a major way here in Hong Kong, the delicious, tender, slow-cooked-to-lip-smacking-perfection kind of beef. Preferably, brisket of beef.
A good bowl of beef brisket cooked in a broth of Chinese spices, ladled over a mound of slurp-worthy rice noodles is the stuff of foodie daydreams in this city.
Here are the best of Hong Kong's beef brisket shops and if you click the image above, you can access our gallery of images and the stories of the beef-crazed master chefs behind them.
