The "clear soup" brisket style in HK differs from the "heavy soup" variant in that the preparation methods are different. The clear soup style involves cooking the brisket, after cleaning and blanching, low and slow with rock sugar and a few aromatics at very low temperature, to ensure the soup doesn't get cloudy. It is then cut with clear chicken broth to taste. Places that sell this tend to specialize in it due to the time consuming nature of the dish, the overall broth yield and the difficulty in procuring and prepping fresh brisket (it is possible to make it with frozen, but the flavor is considered compromised). For the heavier variant, the brisket is stewed with other beef offal and entrails separately from the broth with other ingredients like chu hou paste. This is the more common variant, as it doesn't require such slow cooking and much attention. With this method the brisket is prepared separately and then cut up and plonked into the bowl the same way as other accompaniments that can be ordered with noodles (fish balls, beef balls, cuttlefish etc.). The standard broth for this is a cloudy white and is usually made with pork bones, a chicken or two, and some dried fish (the ideal is actually flathead flounder). You can actually order standard bowls of noodles from any noodle store that serves the heavy style of stewed brisket and ask them to add some of the brisket stewing liquid ("gah lam jyup"). It's a great extra hit of flavor when ordering plain blanched vegetables or rice noodles.

My understanding is the best beef brisket recipes are from the people of Chaozhou & Shantou region of eastern Guangdong and migrated to HK, Malaysia, Singapore & Chinatowns all over the world.

I lived in HK for 15+ years. As Far as street food goes, wonton mein from just about anywhere is delightful, as is beef tendons on noodles., and pork knuckle or char sui. Finally let us not forget custard tarts and the sweet, iced coffee/tea for breakfast. I moved to the Philippines 4 years ago but the HK street food is something I often yearn for. For me, though not to everyone's preference, the best has to be Chau Tofu -stinky bean curd with chilli and soy from Tung Choi Street, Yau Ma Tei. My wife banned it from the house, shouting down the stairs of our village house - "are you eating piss again? Keep it outside."

I have few things to share here. Beef Brisket is from the upper belly of the cow so I don't know what Sam really want to name just Beef Belly?? I've been eating this type of noodle soup for years and all restaurant served this recipe called Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, but I definitely will try it out at Sister Wah by Tin Hau MTR station when and how long I have to wait to come back to HK when the COVID restriction is completely lift it. Another definition for Law Bak is also called "Turnip" or "Daikon" aside from Chinese Radishes and they do have a slight taste of bitterness as well, but they do blend in with the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. I noticed they have crispy fish skin posted on the wall. It would be another good combination to go with those spicy pork dumpling.

Thanks for the comment as always! Regarding beef brisket being the upper belly (and more prominently the chest of the cow) is true; the point I made was that ngau lam is not, then, actually brisket as it its defined in the west (by UK and US cuts anyway), but actually more akin to flank or rough flank. This place is delicious regardless, and so I really hope you can visit when restrictions are lifted in Hong Kong! That is absolutely true about loh bak; I was actually introduced to it at first as daikon when I lived in Japan!

Btw clear broth beef brisket is different to the braised beef brisket which uses fermented chu hou sauce which is a bean paste which sounds like the version you are talking about when you said it feels heavy. Another place that people rate for clear broth beef brisket is Kau Kee in Gough Street however the less said about that place the better since it is the biggest tourist trap that serves terrible food. Ever since the shop owner passed away and the son took over and started innovating using udon or e-fu noodles and a curry brisket it has gone down hill alot.

Thank you Sam. Finally you talked about "beef brisket noodle soup". We have been waiting for it ^^ And yes as you said it is a bit of debate which one is the best. I prefer Sister Wah and my partner prefers Kau Kee in Sheung Wan. We can never come to a mutual conclusion.

Thanks for watching, and yes indeed, it is a hotly contested debate between the two as they seem to be the two most reputed beef brisket soup places in the city. 💪👍

I hear you can actually pronounce the word ‘ngau lam’ pretty accurately. Even most young Hong Kongers can only say it like ‘au lam’, missing the ‘ng’ bit.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words! My wife helps me a lot with pronunciation, so I am very lucky in that sense.
