Hong Kong’s Sheng Jian royalty, Kin Shun Ho Sheng Jian, has joined forces with the city’s only dedicated Genghis Khan lamb grill house, Mt. Yotei, for an unexpected culinary crossover. Together, they are introducing a limited-edition lamb-focused menu alongside a one-night-only themed party, offering adventurous diners a fresh take on classic techniques and premium ingredients.
The collaboration, branded as the “Lamb Excellence” series (匠心羊味。極致之作), reimagines Kin Shun Ho’s celebrated dumpling craftsmanship through the lens of Mt. Yotei’s specialty in high-quality lamb. The result is a compact but bold lineup of dishes that blend Shanghainese comfort food with robust lamb flavors.
The “Lamb Excellence” Menu
Available from September 21, the series features three signature dishes at select locations:
- The Star: Extreme旨 Lamb Xiaolongbao ($58/2pc, $56 add-on): A dumpling filled with Australian lamb leg and shoulder, carefully balanced to a 2:8 fat-to-lean ratio. The soup is a slow-simmered lamb bone stock, reduced until milky and rich in collagen, delivering an intense savory hit with every bite.
- A Noodle Classic Reimagined: Lamb Shanghainese Fried Noodles ($88): This version swaps traditional pork for New Zealand lamb neck fillet, a cut prized for its firm texture. Stir-fried with cabbage and shiitake mushrooms, the dish carries a satisfying spicy finish.
- Spiced to Perfection: Secret Spicy Lamb Skewers Platter ($108, $32/4 skewers): Three cuts of lamb—belly, sirloin, and shoulder—are paired with lotus root and seaweed, all steeped in a house-made aromatic spicy broth.
The Event: The Steamy Summit
Before the official menu rollout, the duo is hosting a preview party. “The Steamy Summit” takes over Kyanbasu by Mt. Yotei at 40 Gough Street, Central, on September 19, from 5 PM to 11 PM.
For $300 per person, guests receive two Extreme旨 Lamb Xiaolongbao, three lamb skewers, one main dish, and a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). The evening will be soundtracked by local DJ collective WE5, blending House, EDM, and nostalgic City Pop. Spaces are limited, and reservations are open via WhatsApp (9772 1851) or phone (2893 2238).

Implications and Next Steps
This collaboration highlights a growing trend in Hong Kong’s dining scene: strategic partnerships that generate buzz through exclusivity and creativity.

Yotei’s premium lamb sourcing and grilling expertise, the menu offers something genuinely novel for a city that often craves the next big flavor.

For everyone else, heading to the restaurants after September 21 is the next best thing—a chance to taste a boundary-pushing collaboration that redefines what a humble dumpling can be.
