群記清湯腩 is the only other 3-star "affordable" eatery rated by a well known local magazine, the other one being 阿鴻小吃. However, other than for the food the other comments about the establishment in the magazine were not very flattering.
As with all good food in HK, we had to queue up for about 30 mins before we were seated. It didn't help that the shop was small with seating for only about 20-25 "diners". Having read the comments, we also expected very bad service from the waitresses but suprisingly no one yelled at us, so I guess the service was ok (by old HK standards of course)! This could also be a positive side-effect from the magazine who mentioned a very rude lady who worked there. Either she was fired (unlikely as all the staff appear related) or was suitably embarassed enough to mend her ways.
This eatery is famous for serving all parts of the "bull/cow" from the normal beef brisket (and you can choose whether you prefer the fattier ones or leaner ones) to beef cheek to beef tendon to bull's penis!

豬油渣麵 - Pork fat noodle. As this was advertised as one of their specialties, we ordered it. Not quite what we expected - we were expecting noodles topped with fried pork lard. Was a bit disappointed coz I am not a fan of soft pork fat. Noodle was tasty though a bit salty.

| 牛腩河粉 - The kids had the usual beef brisket noodle which was very tasty. |
 |
| 牛腩 - We ordered extra beef brisket to try and cover as much as we could on the menu. We asked for the leaner, softer ones and we weren't disappointed. |
Food was good but I think we overdid it on the meat. Not something we can eat often. The food was pretty good overall but we didn't think it merits 3 stars (perhaps somewhere between 1-2 stars tops). As 3 stars go, we definitely prefer 阿鴻小吃, so it will be a long while before we revisit.
