Roasted Goose in Tuen Mun

People say Hong Kong is small. Yes and no. It depends on how far you want to go in Hong Kong.

Today I went to Tuen Mun (屯門).

Tuen Mun or Castle Peak is a satellite town near the mouth of Tuen Mun River and Castle Peak Bay in the New Territories (新界), Hong Kong. It was one of the earliest settlements in what is now Hong Kong and can be dated to the Neolithic period. For those who spend most of your time for living and work on Hong Kong Island, it’s quite a rare experience to go this far. It may be much easier to go across the border to Shenzhen from Tuen Mun than you drive from the city centre to Tuen Mun.

Hong Kong has 18 districts and you have to acknowledge that every district has its own treasures of food. For Tuen Mun, Hong Kong-style BBQ is quite thing, for example, a local restaurant in Tuen Mun like Red Seasons (季季紅) .

Red Seasons is a Michelin Guide-recommended roasted goose restaurant in Tuen Mun. The restaurant is also well known for its BBQ pork, roasted in old-fashioned stone stove, which is now already a very rare experience in Hong Kong, hence it is also featured by “Discover Hong Kong”, the official website of Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Given the remote location of Tuen Mun, food prices here are apparently cheaper than in Central. Half of the goose is for less than HK$300 and you can choose 1/4 size too.

When you go to Tuen Mun and because Tuen Mun is part of the New Territories (NT), you may see local taxis there are in green color rather than in red, like those you can grab on Hong Kong Island. That’s also quite interesting and may be worth a snapshot.

Btw, do you know Hong Kong also has taxis in blue color? Guess where you can find them?
