Supreme Beef Brisket Soup |
The glaring collage on the restaurant's front door - one that features photos of famous people who'd visited the place - may seem a bit off but it sure does tell visitors that they serve something special inside. Supreme Beef Brisket Soup - a popular eatery in Portland Street - doesn't always belong to tourist-recommended list on where to get the best beef brisket in Hong Kong. However, locals will persuade you to try this dining spot and for good reason - their award-winning beef brisket is one you shouldn't miss. The tender meat and the umami-filled flavors will make you come back for more and will surely explain why the place has already earned trophies. Come early, seats are limited.
