Yung Kee Restaurant Review, Hong Kong
Posted on January 15, 2025Return to Yung Kee in 2026
We ate at Yung Kee’s Hong Kong Airport location, Level 6, Terminal 1 West Hall Airside.
Choice of any 2 roasted Meats (HK$380=$48) with Roasted Goose and Barbecued pork. They ran out of Premium Barbecued pork belly. The goose was delicious but had to be eaten with the skin or else it was dense and dry. Barbecued pork comes warm was very good. This was an expensive dinner but when you have limited time in transit! 8.5/10

Upscale IFC Shopping Center – Glitzier than any USA Mall
Best Buffet in the World
Posted on January 1, 2025We have a soft spot for buffets. Large assortments of food from around the world lets us try items that we would never order. High end buffets with everything from Prime Rib to Lobster to Foie Gras to Souffles are always on our hit list. Foodnut values quality in addition to quantity, so forget about Golden Corral.
Buffets originated in France, where French hosts would set up tables full of food so diners could help themselves during parties. This concept grew and was super sized in Las Vegas.
