Today we travel to Hong Kong and kick it with Mark Weins as he finally gets to visit the famous Yat Lok, giving the proprietors the chance to serve Mark a dish that they are quite well known for: Roast Goose.
Roast duck is usually considered the more popular feathery friend to see the inside of an oven in Asia, and we all know how popular Peking Duck has become the world over, but Hongkongers really enjoy the larger bird… that being goose, of course. Roast Goose is so popular in Hong Kong that people often favour particular restaurants over others, preferring an individual and unique marinade or method of roasting. The general trend is to marinade only the plumpest and biggest birds in a soy and sesame oil sauce before hanging the birds above coal pits. The slow cooking process ensures juicy tenderness and a crispy, golden and crunchy skin.
At Yat Lok, the only thing in the world that they really care about is making roast goose. Their dedication and fanaticism has made a Yat Lok roast goose the best in Hong Kong. And if you have the best roast goose in Hong Kong, then you pretty much have the best roast goose in the world. Yat Lok’s current owner didn’t start the restaurant. Rather it was his father who gave up his childhood dreams to settle down and start creating his version of the local delicacy. With the crispiest skin, a tasty but not-too-overpowering marinade, succulent flesh and thinnest layer of juicy fat, Yat Lok’s geese are the best in town. Yat Lok has such a good reputation that it even got a visit from celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain who said that the Roast Goose at Yak Lok is so good that it is worth the trip from anywhere in the world just to eat it… not too bad Yat Lok.
We may not all be able to ‘pop into Yat Lok for the old bird’, but luckily for us we have the faithful Mark Weins to give us a rundown of the tastiest goose in town. Mark is an avid traveller and foodie, and you can give his UA-cam channel a look here:

FoodieHub also has its own website, and it is here that we awarded Yat Lok the “Tastiest Bird” Award at the 2014 FoodieHub Awards. Take a look here:

PS: Did you know that Hongkongers eat more than just roast goose? Of course you did! Hong Kong is pretty much made up of people with Chinese ethnicity, so you can expect your usual Chinese fair, but keep a lookout for the following dishes:
• Shrimp Dumplings: An iconic Hong Kong dim sum dish
• Fish Balls: Made either cooked or raw, fish balls are consumed in Hong Kong as much as baguettes are in France (which is a lot, in case you were wondering)
• Wontons: Crispy deep-fried, or dripping from a spicy soup, these little meat-filled pastry parcels are tummy pleasers!
• Sweet & Sour Pork: Usually cooked in restaurants serving roast goose, marinated pork is roasted and/or fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce… but you all already know this. Sweet & Sour Pork is so famous it is served in almost every city in the developed world.
• Milk Tea: Cold or warm milk tea is a Hong Kong favourite, and sago balls are sometimes added to give it that bubble effect.

This goose really is as good as his reaction indicates. It's almost beyond hyperbole how good it is. Pure joy. If you can, go.
I had never seen anybody enjoying each bite as much as you did! It looks delicious! Thanks for sharing :D
Oh snap that's my guy Mark Wiens!!!! Didn't know he was on here or had a video about it here! Love it! Love Mark Wiens.
TheFactsX stay locked in for more from Mark! If you're ever in Bangkok, then check out his recommendations of Essential Eats: www.foodiehub.tv/fast-feasts/asia-pacific/Bangkok
I can really believe how wonderful it musta tasted - from the juice that drips down from the drumstick when you bite into it!
I need a bucket cos I’m drooling just by looking at this delicious food 😋. Hopefully I will get a chance to sample it next month when I’m on holiday in Hong Kong.🙏
Mark enjoys every bite of food so much that makes me want to eat as well. Thanks
The variety of goose that is used for roasting in Hong Kong is different and much more flavorful & tender than the goose that is served in the U.S. (I once bought a roast goose from a Chinese deli in San Francisco and nearly broke the wooden handle on my heavy cleaver trying to cut it.) The roast goose in Hong Kong is very famous, and deservedly so. It is one of Hong Kong’s signature dishes.❤😊
Mark... I'm not sure you're going to too this!... Of all the videos of yours I've seen, this is the most mouth watering video I've seen! (IMO).
Mark is my hero. That meal looked incredible.
He's our hero too! We were lucky enough to be there and the meal was off the chain!
I am your regular follower I too love food soo much.. Ur making me jealous with each video anywaz great job
+debashree deb thank you! if we're making you jealous then we're doing it right ;). glad you're enjoying it - stay tuned for more from Mark Wiens coming soon!
We went there in October. The goose was off the planet !!! It was so good. We also has the crispy pork which was also very good.
Really good to hear. Did you go anywhere else that you loved?
I often have roast goose on the street in my friends village in Dalang near HuangJiang , Dongguan, in China. Just sitting on plastic stools by the road. What can I say, the taste is sheer heaven . So mouth watering delicious. Every time I go to China I always make a point to eat there. I am drooling just thinking about it, so yummy.
Love this video !!Can't wait to get to HK and try! Your face says it all " yum yum yum "
🙌🙌💯
Cristina Marie after tomorrow im going to Hong Kong!
That looks absolutely divine. Thanks for sharing the video.
+iSabier glad you enjoyed it! Looks really good, right? More from Mark in the future.
Looking forward to more such videos!
I will be in Hong Kong for Halloween....Party then I WILL be here for this.....Thanks for sharing. I CANT WAIT TO HAVE THIS!!!
Had this again in 2019. Nearly makes me cry. I knew the head-lean would be strong in this one for Mark!
And now I have found Hong Kong! Hooray! That goose looks breathtaking and I cannot wait to try it! On the negative side, I have no choice but to wait! it will be 12 to 18months before I can get back to Hong Kong. How will I survive that long?!!!!! How???? Oh dear!
+Daniel Hammond stay strong!

Mark. It is great that u went to Hong Kong for roast duck as I think it started in that region, so it is guaranteed top quality duck as most restaurant farmed that own goose
I just got back from HKG and a visit to YAT LOK, it's great and we also like bbq and crispy pork.
Really pleased you enjoyed your visit. Did you head to anywhere else on our list of Essential Eats?
Going there in October can't wait to try the goose !!
Literally just exploded the juices in my mouth.
Very good. Wow.

this video made me hungry ! how much is 1/2 a goose/ whole goose? im going to HK next month, would love to try this
+Elwyn L Hi Elwyn! Really pleased you liked the video - thanks so much for commenting. You can buy a roast goose leg for around 110 HKD which is around $14 or just under £10. A whole roast goose like the one in the video will cost around $430 HKD which is around $55 or £38.
Hope this helps and definitely be sure to down the FoodieHub app from www.foodiehub.tv/app so you can check out some of the other Essential Eats in Hong Kong!

OK, it's on my Hong Kong to-do list!
And I went there! It's wonderful!
This is same place recommended by the late Anthony Bourdain. Also recommended in the MIchelin Guide etc.
We used to have some of the best roast goose in Sham Tseng.
TheSokwokwai which restaurants? we would love to know!
FoodieHub Yue Kee, Nang Kee, Chan Kee ......... : )
TheSokwokwai we'll endeavor to try these out! Do you think they can rival Yat Lok?
+FoodieHub I was told that Yat Lok is better now. but I just love Yue Kee roast goose :P
The best roasted goose to die for in HK.
Great video .. !! How are the portions priced like ?
Hi Abhay, it depends how hungry you are, but you can order a lot of Roast Goose for $20 USD. Let us know if you visit.
Thanks Mark .. !!
You have to try ''pho sot vang'' in vietnam hanoi
Did he have more videos from Hong Kong?
I am biased......I was born in Hong kong.......The food absolutely rules. Can't get enough of the food. Nothing compares......I feel sorry for people that have never been and tried the food in Hong kong. Another level and another world. think you local Chinese on steroids.
Very juicy and intrinsically HK like, I suppose!
The look of goose hert iam hungry
anthony bourdain actually went to the first yat lok which is in tai po district not here in central
It relocated from Tai Po to central, it's not longer in Tai Po
i live in tai po,but i suppose you know better ^^
+ryu1970206 lol. just sayin :)
you are a very bad man,lol ;))
What is the restaurant called,Mark and which street is it on?:)
一乐餐厅
Hi TameTusker Silly, all details can be found here: www.foodiehub.tv/fast-feasts/asia-pacific/Hong%20Kong/review/Yat-Lok/Roast-Goose/5435_5483 enjoy!
FoodieHub Thanks Mark!:)
This restaurant is well known to local Hong Kongers as having some of the worst service. The female owner is known for yelling at customers and being rude esp after getting the Michelin star. My friend once went there to buy takeout and paid with a $500 bill. The female owner rudely told him that he should leave if he didn't have a smaller bill! So my friend left. The food is decent but not as good as before unfortunately.
+allmyjm Surly service: a sure sign of excellent food! :)
+CNVideos LOL. Wish that were true. Just went there recently and was disappointed.
Wish I was there.
I'm going to try to do this one at home.
what anime is playing in the background?
真是好食
They said yatlok is nice for goose from review
come on, mark, u took my favourite part of the goose.haaaa
Hey Mark Give some Different reaction when your testing food.........otherwies your Awesome.....
you look similar to jim carrey, just friendly charisma
Mary Jane not a bad lookalike!
Roast duck and roast goose and roast pigeon ....then u order some red wine like God of cookery ......
so many ohh face
By the way, next time, don't use chopsticks. It's better to use hands as it eat it as if it is fried chicken
It looks more like duck rather than goose.
better than yung ki
this guys reaction is always same, whatever he eats
stop mark..youre killin meeee..im.far away from.that goose
Delicious goose but bad service at Yat Lok. Rude and hot temper staff just smash plate to your table….good luck to you if you are “lucky” and get serve by the same staff…not sure how they get the Michelin star…😢
I only see your snap
.............
Does he really need to make that face with *every* bite? It's just so over the top. I especially hate the laugh.
Table and eating manners please. Do not stuff the food into your mouth and chew on it before the camera. Do all the nasty things behind the camera. Be heard not seen. I suppose you did not pay for the food as usual.
everything here is good but the staff r rude and aggresive thanks
Do not go this restaurant. It is overrated. Poor food quality and service
i hate the faces this guy makes
+eazi love hahahaha, me too
There is no need to even say that. A simple solution if you don't like his facial expressions is to not watch his amazing videos. He is a really humble, genuine man.
