The Michelin Guide. Sometimes I'll try to visit a place listed in the guide. One such place is 新園興記燒臘飯店 (English name: Sun Yuen Restaurant). Listed as a Bib Gourmand, the place has been around since the 70s. A regular Hong Kong style roast meat place, it's often very busy. And we were curious. Why the Michelin recommendation?The place is definitely not fancy. Just a regular old style roast meat restaurant. The menu is English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge.

The place is definitely not fancy. Just a regular old style roast meat restaurant. The menu is English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. Along with roast meat items, they have very typical cha chan teng items as well.
We came for afternoon tea time where there is a discount. $39 each for one type of roast meat item along with your choice of noodle and a drink.
This is the soy sauce chicken. And it was delicious! The skin was not too fat but it was glistening and heavily flavored. The meat was moist and tender. The broth had a drizzle of the roast meat oil and it came with some vegetables. Portion was generous and the rice noodles not over cooked.
The char siu was quite good as well. The right balance of fat to meat. It was not overly sweet and sticky like some places but it was well flavored.
A cheap price for good quality food. A really good roast meat place and deserving of the accolade.
