There are few things more comforting than a stew; Dobe & Andy’s Ho Lam Beef Stew is no exception!
Dobe & Andy is a hidden treasure in Chinatown. The concept here was inspired by the best BBQ you can find in Hong Kong! Named after the owners’ mother-in-law and father, this restaurant is a beautiful family story. Brothers Edmund, Eric and Edward are co-owners of the business with Webster Galman, who we also know from Garde Manger, September Surf, and Vin Papillon.
With no designated chef on site, the cooks work as a team to offer tasty dishes. Among their house specialties, we obviously find all the dishes cooked on the famous BBQ like the crispy pork roast and the sweet chicken. Dobe & Andy’s Ho Lam Beef Stew recipe comes from the brothers’ father and is a favourite of theirs. A simple, tasty, and above all comforting recipe.
The stew is quick to prepare, and then cooks for a few hours (which means your home is going to smell amazing). We recommend serving it with rice. Enjoy!
