The Time Out guide has rated Brat as "the best hot dog place in Hong Kong", so we checked it out after a late gym session on a Monday night.It was quiet with only 1 group dining inside, so we sat right by the door, which was a mistake as the smokers' area is right next to us!We chose the Chicken with sun dried tomato & mozzarella and the Italian pork. You get to choose your own bread so we went for a rye and plain white. As for the condiments, you can only choose from a few varieties of mustard

We chose the Chicken with sun dried tomato & mozzarella and the Italian pork. You get to choose your own bread so we went for a rye and plain white. As for the condiments, you can only choose from a few varieties of mustard and when we requested one to have an extra filling instead the manager said no and didn't provide an alternative choice, e.g. Add $x for an extra filling instead. Oh ŵell, the truffle Dijon mustard was nice for me!
As we were starving after the gym, it was very disappointing when the hot dogs arrived but they had got the wrong bread roll with the wrong sausage! It wouldn't have mattered too much if my bf doesn't hate mustard... The manager gave a brief apology. We had to wait for another 10 minutes until the replacement arrived and by then, we had finished our chips and side salad & the extra portion of sweet potato chips! The waiting time is due to the fact that they bake the bread fresh, but it's not very impressive to have had to wait due to their mistake in the first place.
The hot dog was served on a Brat branded wooden chopping board, but as we had eaten all the sides due to the mistake and the long wait, the board served no purpose and the overall experience was rubbish. Hot dog should always be served on a soft roll, not hard bread roll!
On the plus side, the actual sausage was very nice, meaty and chunky, and they do a 6 pack to take away and cook at home.
Verdict: Not "the best" hot dog in HK.
