Roundhouse - Texas Barbecues Taste Like This...?

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

Roundhouse is the first Taproom in Hong Kong that features 25 types of crafts beers on tap which some are exclusively offered to them. Apart from the craft beer, Roundhouse is also famous for their authentic Texas barbecue. As a big fan of Chef Austin Fry, I went to try the barbecue items here tonight.

85 South - Here Comes The Smokey Bird

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

I always go to 85 South whenever I have a barbecue crave. 85 South is consistent in their smoking technique which means it is pretty much assured that your meats are well seasoned and smoked. I missed their smoked turkey last year, so when I know they are smoking the bird again this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was ecstatically happy. If you passed by 85 South in the coming weeks, I am sure you would be killed by the heavenly smokiness escaped from their kitchen!

BBQ 7080 - BBQ like a Korean

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Hailing from the success of their first restaurant at Tsim Sha Tsui, BBQ 7080 is now opened in Causeway Bay. Opened by Korean, this BBQ restaurant is meant to be authentic! I went to their Tsim Sha Tsui main branch once and the queue was crazy! If you want to try BBQ 7080, I highly recommend the branch at Causeway Bay. They accept telephone reservation too, so book in advance!

Seorae - Korean BBQ with Grilled Egg

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★☆☆☆

Just don't get too excited seeing the grilled egg yet, I am gonna be a spoiler and tell you Seorae's grill egg tasted bad and is not even close to the one I had in Korea. As far as I know, Seorae is the first Korean BBQ restaurant in HK that offers a griller that has space for grilling eggs and kimchi. Let me know if you find some other ones in Hong Kong, I would really love to try it out.

85 South - North Carolina BBQ Hits Kau U Fong

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★★☆

Barbecue to me is a way to bond with friends and family. No matter it is a Cantonese style of BBQ or the American way, they both serve the same function. 85 South is a new BBQ shop at Kau U Fong who brought the North Carolina taste to Hong Kong. If you walked pass the area and smelled an irresistible aroma, that's definitely from 85 South.

Tsing Kei Chuen | Korean Street Is Just A Hype & Myth?

Price: $$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

A sudden crave of Korean food, I brought my family to the renowned Korean street in Kimberly Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. I picked Tsing Kei Chuen at random. I walked in and made a reservation. The waiter who served me, seemingly a Korean, did not understand Canton so speak English when you were in the restaurant. There were also waiters who could speak Canton, so watch your luck if you don't want to speak English.

When I came back at 7.35, there were a few people queuing outside the restaurant. I was glad that I made the reservation. The restaurant is décor in simple brown and white. The restaurant is pretty small but the seating is spacious with a large rectangular BBQ tables surrounded by mostly block seating, no wonder people had to queue up outside. The ventilation system seemed functioning efficiently as I did not smell a strong scent when I stepped into the restaurant.
