We’ve loved HKR ever since we discovered it in San Antonio Village, Makati (see: OAP | Hong Kong Roast: A Bagtikan Hole-in-the-Wall Favorite). They were known before as Fortune Empire and they won in Ultimate Taste Test 5.0 with a 3.55 rating.

I simply love their asado and their salted baked chicken. Most foodies agree that these two are awesome.

Congratulations to HKR for winning in Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test, and good luck with your new branch along Jupiter St.!

The Story of Hong Kong Roast Food Express
by Mary Chan

At the unlikely junction between Bagtikan Street and Sacred Heart Road in the heart of San Antonio Village in Makati lies a quaint and unpretentious little restaurant. With roast chickens hanging from the window, the restaurant claims that it offers “authentic Chinese food,” providing you with a “taste of Hong Kong.”

Other notable dishes include the appetizing salted baked chicken, the Black Chicken Sesame, and the Beef Hofan, which you will only find at HKR. For an interesting salve to the sweet tooth, try the French Toast with sesame filling like authentic Hong Kong cuisine is because a lot of the ingredients are imported. For instance, HKR’s milk tea is such an accurate representation of its Hong Kong cousin because only Black & White Evaporated Full Cream milk is used to create it. HKR delivers to the immediate vicinity and uses only environmentally-friendly packaging made out of corn pulp to house the food.

This hidden gem is truly Hong Kong. Run by a Chinese lady with considerable experience in the culinary arts both here and abroad, serving dishes that are genuinely street café in taste and quality, HKR is a veritable little HongKong in the middle of Makati.

Branching out soon in 51 Bel-air cor Jupiter Street, Makati City.
