The Gallop — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Went to this Chinese resto at the Jockey Club with colleagues. . We ordered the following dishes to share: -Turnip Pudding with Air-dried Meat (HKD58) The turnip pudding was not greasy at all and generously packed with air-dried meat.

-Barbecued Meat Platter: Roasted Pork Belly and Barbecued Pork with Honey Soya Bean (HKD238) The roasted pork belly boasted a crispy skin and a perfect fat-to-meat ratio. The barbecued pork was tender and flavourful.
