Before trying the goose head, I did not know that Chinese geese where different to geese.The Chinese geese have a visual bump on their heads!Anyway, I suddenly had this craving for food that tasted like goose liver and crab roe and that weird texture that is similar to sea urchin so I thought goose brain would be similar to that.I picked this place because the geese heads looked big, so they probably were brainer here than in other shops, but not brainy enough to escape being butchered! ★☆★☆★☆★☆

roast pork: I basically ordered this as a filler. I felt that the roast here was quite expensive.
The bbq sauce was slightly too salty but it was good that they gave a few pieces of long beans instead of Chinese vegetables.

Goose brain:
It was quite difficult using chopsticks with the goose head!
I was expecting it to be quite a small portion but after it was chopped, it was a plateful of a head chopped in half and quite a few pieces of neck. Anyway, I think I wasted quite alot as I only ate the brain and the neck!
I attempted to eat the skin but it still had some feather roots on it.
As expected the brain was delicious, it melts in your mouth! If only this goose was brainier !
The goose neck was quite interesting, the bone was pure white and the bone was really hard and sharp, however their bones seem to be extremely porous with air so that they can float. The neck meat was nice and delicate but hard to eat.
