清真牛肉館 (Hong Kong)

The Hong Kong TV show “So Good” has done an interview on 清真牛肉館. The host, Ah So, highly recommended the beef buns. She described the beef buns as an enhanced Chinese version of the hamburger. After watching the show, we are determined to travel all the way to 九龍城 to give it a try. It is a long way to travel and takes about a whole hour by train and bus.



There is a minimum spend requirement of $20 per person, so we put in an order of the 蔥油餅 (scallion pancake) and two orders of the 清真牛肉包 (beef buns). All orders are freshly made. The scallion pancakes are pretty thin and not oily. We ordered it just to meet the minimum requirement, but it’s pretty good. The only minus point is that the scallion taste is not strong enough.



The highlight of the meal is obviously the beef buns. They are served hot and fresh. There is so much juice inside the buns that you have to be very careful when you bite on it. If you are not careful in biting the buns and consuming the juice, the juice will get squirted out. The beef buns are delicious. However, you can only eat one or two of them before it becomes too much.




After the meal, we can understand why Ah So recommends this restaurant. The beef buns are amazing. I have never eaten any buns with that much juice in it. The amount of juice can fill half a bowl.
