Hong Kong Stories - Treasures of Hong Kong Ep7 (The Soy Sauce Factor ) Promo

Sammy Yip, the founder of Sammy’s Kitchen, has been mesmerised by French cuisine all his life. He opened a steakhouse in Sai Ying Pun in 1969, serving up hotel-quality food at affordable prices, so as to enable the general public to experience the indulgence of a steak dinner. To cater to the tastes of local Chinese diners, he later developed Hong Kong-style Western dishes, also known as “Soy Sauce Western Cuisine”. He also created two “parallel universes” within the same restaurant: the “Soy Sauce Western Cuisine Bistro” and the “Steakhouse”, drawing in a host of celebrities with classic offerings such as Sammy’s Sauce Fillet Steak, the mixed grill sizzler, Hot Cat, and Black Bull. The giant neon cow sign hanging above the eatery’s entrance was designed by Sammy himself. Once regarded as a landmark of the Western District, it was taken down many years ago in compliance with safety regulations and now calls the M+ Museum home!

森美餐廳創辦人葉聯一生醉心法國料理，1969年於西營盤成立扒房，以酒店級廚藝、相宜價格，讓當年普羅大眾都能一嚐鋸扒滋味。

及後更因應本地華人食客口味，發展出港式西餐，又稱「豉油西餐」，並於同一間餐廳之內，設計出兩個平行宇宙——「豉油西餐廳」及「扒房」，以森美汁牛柳、鐵板雜扒、熱貓、黑牛等經典菜式，吸引不少名人明星成為座上客。

門口巨型霓虹牛牛招牌，由葉聯親自設計，曾被視作西環地標，多年前因遵守安全條例而拆卸，現更存放在M+博物館！
