We love the original Islam Food, so we decided to try their second branch just around the corner. We loved it as much as the original and, in fact, may have enjoyed it even more.
This branch is much roomier and more modern than the original. You do not need to share tables and they have an English menu as well as a picture menu.
We ordered the classic 'veal goulash', chicken dumplings and Xinjiang style fried lamb. The lamb came out first and it was excelent. The small pieces of lamb were unbelievably tender and the taste of cumin was delightful.
Next came the chicken dumplings. They were just the right size and when dipped into chili sauce made a lovely little mouthful.
Last came the dish we had come for. The veal goulash are actually fried beef buns. They have a great fried bread shell tht gives way to a super juicy beef patty flavoured with Xinjiang spices. The soup inside is delicious and combines beautifully with the crusty, bread to make a perfect bite. We had two each as they are one of our favourite things in Hong Kong.
If you have not been to Islam Food, then you are missing out on one of the best restaurants in the territory. GO NOW.
