Free ride day and we headed out to Tai Wai for lunch. Not familiar with the area, we ended up at 阿爺燒鵝餐室 (English name: Grandpa Roast Goose Restaurant) as there seemed to be a good number of people. It was just your typial Hong Kong style roast meat restaurant, serving all sorts of roast meat and it seemed tidy and clean.When we arrived, they had an afternoon tea set menu. Menu in Chinese only.

When we arrived, they had an afternoon tea set menu. Menu in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge and you pay on your way out. We wanted to try the roast items so we ordered from there. Afternoon tea time, they onlyo allow a single choice of roast meat.
I had char siu with rice vermicelli ($37). These were really good char siu. Not as fat as other places as they gave me the less fatty part but still juicy and full of flavor. The vermicelli was not over cooked but nothing really to write home about. The soup was not that good but then who drinks the soup anyways? It even came with a few pieces of cho sum.
Boyfriend had the roast goose with dry noodles in goose fat ($42). The goose was really seasoned on the bone area but oddly didn't seep into the meat. The meat was a bit dry in some parts well. However, the dry noodles were really good. Not too oily, yet not so dry it was all stuck together. It was well flavoured. It also came with a bowl of soup that had a light bone broth flavor.
Portion for tea time was very generous. We didn't expect this much so quite a good deal. The char siu was good though the goose was a bit average. The meat oddly didn't get any of the marinade that was all in the bone area. And the bone area was delicious.
