住係九龍城多年，但係只嚟過三幾次。今日兩點鐘去食下午茶​，本來想叫炒粉麵，但係下午茶太小碟，不如叫多兩碟點心。叫左五個點心(後加一碟千層芋絲餅)，所有點心即叫即蒸，非常​新鮮，最喜歡佢地個馬拉糕夠鬆軟；蟹肉千層夾係用腐皮同素蟹肉，係出面食唔到；菠菜餃足料好好味。今日埋單剛剛一百蚊。觀自在將會於十月尾搬往旺角道。

買了這店的二人餐團購，快過期了。立即與牛牛來試試。團購網頁上有介紹明星都有黎幫襯，睇下食完會唔會吸引到唔鐘意食齋嘅我再幫襯先根據自己素食嘅經驗，呢間食物質素真的不錯。其實呢家佢做緊個二人餐包茶芥都係佰二蚊，下次想清清腸胃時會黎幫襯…

i seldom go to kowloon city, let alone eat in a restaurant there, let alone a vegetarian one. so i did not have high expectations, other than taking the spirit of exploring & checking things out.

the first impression of this spaceous & upbeat restaurant in the basement level of a local mall already drove away my prior stereotyping of a vegetarian eatery.

the menu offers dim sum and a la carte dishes of many varieties. the names are similar to non-vegetarian restaurants, except of course no real meat is used.

椰皇雙皮奶 steamed & curded coconut milk & soy milk (A) $23: served in a baby coconut shell, hard to find in any menu, this dessert was not too sweet, but with the full aroma of coconut. the tender coconut meat can be scraped off with a spoon & eaten with the curded milk.

平炒素牛河 stir fried wide noodle with “beef” (A-): the wok flash aroma was overpowering when they brought out this dish. the “beef” slices looked & tasted like the real beef, perhaps more so. amazingly flavorful.

千層芋絲餅 taro hash brown (A-) $15: this hash brown was perfectly fried on both sides, making it crunchy & tasty, another surprise to us.

鮮腐鯪魚球 "dace fish" ball with dried bean (A-) $15: I could have been fooled even after eating it. the texture & taste of this vegetarian version is unbeatable, especially when blended with diced mushroom & dried tangerine peels. the only missing part is bone fragments from a real dace fish!

蝦餃 steamed "shrimp" dumplings (B+): the inside was filled with water chestnut & some crunchy veggies that made the imitation very real in texture, flavor & feel in the mouth. the dumpling skin was possibly the same as used in a real shrimp dumpling.

齋滷味 assorted dried bean delicacy (B+) $22: this traditional vegetarian rendition of BBQ pork, sausage, chicken kidney, curry this, sweet & sour that etc was moist & not soggy like other places. this item is not on the menu, one has to ask for it.

蜜汁蒸叉燒包 steamed "BBQ pork" bun (B+) $15: generally good, except the filling was not enough to my liking. the imitation BBQ pork was quite “authentic” in flavors.

紫菜糯米卷 sticky rice rolls with seaweed (B+) $15: quite refined with diced mushroom & some green ingredient mixed with the rice. a piece of seaweed was wrapped around the outside of the roll. seasoning was good, but the rice roll was not moist enough.

芋絲炸春卷 deep fried spring rolls with taro (B) $15: it was definitely crispy & pleasing to the tongue. but again I would like to have more filling of taro etc inside.

香菜蒸腸粉 steamed rice rolls with sweet pickle (B) $15: this was the weakest dish we ordered. the rice roll itself was soft, but it was rolled too tightly to give a tough feel in the mouth. it was also too bland in taste, since the soy sauce was served separately in a dish and not added to the rolls.

the service was less than voluntary, but really this restaurant is unpretentious in ambience & makeup, more like a cafeteria than a gourmet restaurant. this is ok to me though, considering the good food at a reasonable price.

中午飯的一站, 我們來到了九龍城廣場. 為的, 是齋妹常掛在口中的觀自在素食. 駒車前來, 係CARPARK門口問清楚泊車優惠. 上去泊好車. 出返商場看看水牌. 就直接的先落黎地庫. 食左先慢慢行街. 而且是日見到的藝人真多, 首先係商場升降機見到劉錫賢, 入到觀自在, 又見到羅樂林.

而我們, 就被安排了坐在羅樂林旁邊的檯, 可是, 他也剛剛結帳準備走. 不然我會說一句, 你在點解阿Sir係阿Sir中既演出, 好突出, 好搞笑.

我們看見點心紙, 炒粉麵. 咁既格局就不如飲茶咁飲, 食幾個點心, 炒返個麵, 叫返壺鐵觀音. 兩口子, 輕鬆自在的食.

水滾茶靚, 首先有點心嬸嬸托了一盆餐包仔過來. 素叉燒餐包, 聽落幾新鮮特別. 就立即叫了一碟來品嚐一下. 此包, 是新鮮出爐, 熱熱的. 咬落, 素叉燒的香味充滿了包子的內部. 甜甜的, 香口的. 事後在佛堂說起曾到這兒一吃, 有人問我們有沒布食叉燒餐包. 才知道, 我們食了其招牌貨.

叫了個星洲炒米, 辣辣香香的配上了素龍蝦. 香口, 味道好. 而且炒得夠乾, 米粉條食落帶點爽脆. 有辣香, 希素肉既味精香, 仲有芝麻香.

點心, 叫了一個素牛丸, serve上來時, 我們還說, 山竹牛肉係咁既咩??? 再看一看清楚, 原來是我們看漏了一隻字. 這是山竹牛肉"丸". 所以這5粒"丸"是沒有錯的. 此丸, 味道香口, 而且加了點黑椒味, 真有黑椒牛丸的味道. 不過, 食落, 就覺得, 此乃是那些台灣製造的雪藏素肉丸. 認真慳水慳力.

再來是素蝦餃同蠔子蒸柚皮. 柚皮, 是一個失敗之作, 因為調味調得不太好, 食落去, 苦苦的. 那蠔仔, 就是三粒素燉肉. 這一個點心, 說不出美味的. 而蝦餃, 因為是素食餡的關係, 味道比較清淡. 雜菜加少少蘿蔔絲的餡, 清清地, 幾好食.

輕鬆的食了一個late lunch, 拿了單, 搞好兩小時免費泊車, 再輕鬆的行行街, 到晚上, 去外婆家把BB接回來.

我們輕鬆自在的渡過了一個愉快的假日.

下午兩點出到九龍城廣場地庫的"觀自在"與家人會合吃齋,
呢間食肆食過幾次,都係下午茶時間來的,食物一般,不算很好,
也談不上差勁,服務都唔差噃,難道都是我們好運??

今次我們叫了個四人餐,再加其他食物.
平炒素牛河--->>呢個真係不吃也罷~
欖角蜜汁香叉燒--->>幾好食,亞女吃到停唔到口.
家鄉蓮藕餅--->>上檯即食才好食,不然,攤凍後,個皮難吃死了~
春卷--->>炸得剛剛好,入面味道都唔錯.
雪人包 & 哈哈笑包 --->>芝麻餡幾好食,適宜叫來氹小朋友
腐皮千層夾 ---->>不吃也罷~
鮮竹卷 --->>呢個較好味~
套餐內的點心係每款一件,一籠有4款點心,不逐一介紹了~
一行人(6大1小1BB),埋單$300左右,需不致於一試難忘,
但....可以再來的~

差不多年年都會黎食一次, 因我婆婆係食斎的關係;
所以每年生日都會黎.

今年都一樣.
不過今次服務真係差到火起.

Book左2圍, 因紅雨所以d 親戚都遲黎.
本身舅父想叫個個餐唔見左, 個經理就咁放張用過的紙係度就算...
人都閃左囉~~~
叫經理黎問多兩次之前個餐先比返你. (尋日睇完今日就無左囉)

好啦人又齊晒又order好晒叫上菜啦.
d野放底就閃, 唔知意為好忙,
今晚空檯又多, 明明睇到無水都要叫2次先加比你.
係出面吹水就有woo

個素翅上左又唔分, 要自已郁手.
最火係我比錢個時見個經理分比隔離檯個2個人.

食物方面叫ok, 因為我婆婆食長斎難得有間佢食得到.
其實都係個d野不過呢間有心思d, 又無咁濃味.
唔係我婆婆生日我真係唔黎食呀!

Just felt like having vegetarian dimsum for fun, so came here, just fun to have the usual items in vegetarian form such as prawn dumplings, dace fish balls, curried cuttlefish.

Originally I was going to mention how dirty the table was, but I was told the waitor served us first so we got a seat, rather than cleaning the table first then allocating the seats.
If we had not been seated, we probably would have been still waiting outside.

Overall, everything tasted quite good, with the juicyness from the diced vegetables in it, however it wasnt filling at all, after finishing the items, it felt like we had not eaten anything, the only thing that didnt taste right was the siu mai, there was a strong oil odour it.

The prawn dumplings tasted a bit like the chiu chow fun gwore.

As for the cuttlefish, it was steamed properly here, so it was nice and soft, in other vegetarian places, some of the foods can taste like hard jelly which cant be digested and comes out exactly how you consume it!!

The price range is slightly expensive and matches that of non vegetarian dimsums.

下午與媽咪到九龍城行街都知道九龍城出名多食肆就決定食埋晚飯才回家......後來發現有間素菜館寫明$108全包套餐3餸1湯連白飯兩碗, 好奇心下就試吓啦!!

湯品: (蘆薈竹笙素翅)--- 南瓜蓉湯加上素翅甜甜地好入口, 同媽咪好快就飲完

菜式: (素海鮮粒扒時蔬)---材料有蛋白同素蟹柳粒淋上小棠菜面, 但完全無味道, 可能真係無調味吧
(紫羅素雞片)--- 酸薑與素雞片加青紅燈籠椒炒熟, 酸酸甜甜汁份外醒胃可送一碗飯
(士多啤梨生炒骨)---素菜都有生炒骨? 好奇下點咗先知出事, 原來只係炸麵根, 咪覺得會好香甜只食到勁酸醋味...真怕怕

見到呢度有下午茶餐，入嚟試吓先。我哋order咗齌鹵味($12)和招牌炆生麵($28)。

齌鹵味幾好味，樣樣款式都有D，味道唔錯
招牌炆生麵就真喺差差差，鹼水味好重，重到有苦味，我哋冇食生麵，揀哂D送出嚟食。

仲話招牌炆生麵tim，唔該改名啦。
