Pavilion Damansara Heights has just crowned a new monarch in the realm of Cantonese roasts—Hong Kong Roasted Goose King, a name that may sound audacious at first, but one that earns its title dish by dish, bite by glorious bite. Nestled on Level 1, this new outlet is a proud offshoot of the famed Hong Kong brand and marks its debut in Malaysia with a mission: to deliver authentic Hong Kong-style roasts in their purest, most indulgent form.
From the first step into the restaurant, the scent of roasted meats—charred, caramelised, deeply aromatic—hints at what’s to come. The décor is modern with Hong Kong touches, a balance of contemporary minimalism and heritage cues. But make no mistake: here, it’s the food that speaks the loudest.
Signature Roasted Goose – Half
The undisputed star of the show.
Presented on a classic white platter, the roasted goose arrives with glistening mahogany skin so crisp it shatters with a gentle bite. Beneath that brittle skin lies a layer of rich, buttery fat, and then, tender meat steeped in five-spice and soy, carrying deep umami in every bite.
What makes it truly special is the balance—while goose can often veer into overly gamey or greasy territory, here it’s handled with finesse. A dip into the house-made plum sauce adds a mellow sweetness that doesn’t overpower, and the accompanying roasted peanuts and pickled cucumbers lend crunch and brightness to cut through the richness.
The best Cantonese-style goose I’ve had outside of Hong Kong. It’s the kind of dish that demands silence at the table, out of respect—and sheer satisfaction.
Soy Sauce Chicken – Half
If the goose is the diva, the soy sauce chicken is the elegant understudy that steals your heart in quiet moments. Marinated with fragrant Chinese rose wine flown in from Hong Kong, the meat is tender and juicy, with a sweet-savory balance that’s more refined than cloying.
It’s not loud in flavour, but laced with subtlety—an aromatic dish that reveals its layers slowly. The skin is silky, the flesh juicy right through to the bone. It’s the kind of chicken that reminds you why this humble dish is a Cantonese roast staple. A must-order for those who appreciate delicacy over decadence.
BBQ Three-Combination Platter
A great way to sample their roast mastery in one go.
- Char Siew – Slightly leaner than the Malaysian norm, with a gentler sweetness. While it lacks the bold caramelisation and char that some might crave, it stays true to the Hong Kong style—less sugary, more meat-focused.
- Crispy Roasted Pork (Siew Yoke) – Exceptional. The crackling is audibly crisp, with juicy, savoury layers underneath. Perfectly balanced with just the right amount of saltiness.
- Soy Sauce Chicken – As good as the standalone version.
An excellent introduction for newcomers, though char siew fans with a sweet tooth may find it a touch restrained.
Steamed Minced Pork with Preserved Vegetables
A hidden gem on the menu.
This rustic dish showcases hand-minced pork, springy in texture, steamed with preserved mui choy that offers just enough sweetness and crunch. The result? A homely, comforting plate that hits the nostalgia button hard. It’s reminiscent of grandma’s kitchen—but executed with precision. If you want something warm, humble, and deeply flavourful, this is it.
Prawn Wanton Noodles
The noodles here deserve a mention on their own—springy, firm, and unmistakably Hong Kong-style. The broth is clear and light, allowing the prawn-filled wantons to shine. Plump, sweet, and perfectly wrapped, the wantons burst with freshness. This dish works well as a lighter counterbalance to the heavier meats. A satisfying palate cleanser between goose-heavy bites.
Hong Kong Boat Congee
The congee here is smooth, creamy, and subtly smoky, topped with traditional ingredients like shredded cuttlefish, peanuts, century egg, and more. Each spoonful melts in your mouth, with the wok hei lending a depth of flavour that’s rare in local porridge offerings. Comfort food at its finest. Don’t skip this.
Stir-Fried Seasonal Vegetables with Crispy Pork
A much-needed splash of green among the meat-heavy dishes. The vegetables—crunchy and vibrant—are stir-fried just right, while the crispy pork bits add a sinful texture and umami. A fresh and crunchy counterpoint to the roasts—well-balanced and satisfying.
Hong Kong Roasted Goose King delivers what it promises—an authentic, luxurious Cantonese roast experience, with every detail painstakingly executed. From the signature goose (which truly lives up to the hype) to the subtle charm of the soy sauce chicken and congee, the menu presents both drama and comfort in equal measure.
Yes, the price point is slightly premium, but so is the experience. You’re not just eating roast meat—you’re tasting tradition, history, and expertise on a plate.
Who should visit? Lovers of authentic Hong Kong flavours, roast meat enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a high-quality, flavour-first Cantonese feast.
