This restaurant is quietly nestled behind a waterfall in one corner of Chi Lin Nunnery’s famous Tang-dynasty gardens, and has enormous glass windows lining one side of its walls, opening up a spectacular view through the waterfall into the garden outside. The Tang-dynasty architectural elements in the restaurant and the owner’s perfect taste in music (the non-intrusive background music of pipa and flute made for a very soothing atmosphere) together made for a very calming/zen dining experience.

The friendly staff speaks rudimentary English and is very helpful and accommodating. The food was beyond expectations—definitely one of the best vegetarian places I’ve ever tried. We had orange juice (freshly squeezed with pulp still inside) and some savoury afternoon dim sum. The puffy radish pastry was so flaky on the outside and so moist, warm and light on the inside, it was almost enough to bring tears of joy into the eyes of the most hardened, world-wearied soul. The vegetable pie was so delicious, with just the perfect blend of spices, I almost forgot it was vegetarian…
Possibly the most lovely place for Chinese-style afternoon tea in HK, and I can’t wait to come back here for a long, relaxing lunch or dinner some other time.
