Diner’s Diary | The Pizza Hut roast goose pizza that’s a real mouthful – buy enough and they throw in a lazy Susan

  • The venerable Yung Kee roast goose restaurant has a hard time drawing Hong Kong’s younger crowd. Maybe they are intimidated, says 40-something CFO Yvonne Kam
  • It has teamed with Pizza Hut to introduce them to its roast goose by serving it on a special edition pizza - whose name runs to a mind-boggling 20 words

Fast food chain Pizza Hut has partnered with well-known Hong Kong restaurant Yung Kee to create limited edition pizzas featuring the latter’s charcoal-grilled roast goose.

The name of the pizza is quite the mouthful – “Pizza Hut x Yung Kee’s Super Exquisitely Handcrafted Victorious Best of the Best Flawlessly Exclusive Special Charcoal Roasted Flying Goose Pizza”.

It features slices of the roast goose along with cheese, Chinese leek, red onions, red chilli and seafood sauce for HK$172 (US$22) (large size HK$208). 

Pizza Hut fans can choose their own signature crust too, such as stuffed crust or golden crust.

“You don’t know until you try,” says Yung Kee’s Yvonne Kam, the third generation of her family to run the famous restaurant in Hong Kong, of its tie-up with Pizza Hut to serve roast goose pizza. Photo: Tory Ho

I couldn’t help but call up Yvonne Kam Kiu-yan, chief financial officer and the third generation of her family to run Yung Kee in Wellington Street, Central, to ask her about this collaboration.

“Last year Pizza Hut had the idea to have local ingredients to create a special edition pizza. For Hong Kong they thought of roast meat, and a unique one is roast goose. We [Yung Kee] are an iconic restaurant and roast goose is our signature dish,” she explains.
