I love the pieces of meat that are closer to the bones because they’re much more flavourful and you can taste the concentrated spice rub

You can get a cheaper Michelin star meal in Hong Kong, and the service is "amazing".

If you go around like 3:30 or 4, after lunch service, easy to go — don't need to wait, no need to reserve.
