Sow Vegan, which has a nordic vibe, is a cozy private kitchen and dining place hidden in an industrial building in Kwun Tong. It is run by a pretty lady named Pamela, who studied psychology in UK and loves cooking. When she came back to Hong Kong, she devoted herself in learning how to cook great vegan food, and has been running Sow Vegan for 2 years. I am so lucky that my foodie friend brought me here for our birthday dinner, as we are both October birthday girls.We opted for the 4-course dinn
We opted for the 4-course dinner instead of 5-course, as we were not sure if we could finish 5 courses. It was a smart choice as we were so full after the second course!

Our fancy vegan dinner started with this Sourdough Bread with Truffle Mushroom Dip and Vegan Butter. Point to note, everything is homemade and prepared by Pamela. I adored the sourdough so much even though it’s not quite sour actually. When I tore it into pieces, steam came out of it and I was quite excited. You don’t often get freshly made/reheated bread served in front you right?
The dip has a strong truffle aroma, and I adored the mushroom so much! A nice combination for dip. There was a bit of it left and I so wanna pack it home! It’s a shame that it had to go to the bin…
The vegan butter tasted so good too. It’s made with coconut oil, and that’s why the coconut aroma and taste. I love coconut, and it just went so well with the dip on the sourdough.

Second course is a Cream Burdock Soup with Burdock Chips. This is the course that stuffed us. It’s quite a large bowl of soup, and I guess the cream and potato inside filled our tummies. It’s so thick and nice, creamy as well. I don’t usually like burdock, as it tastes like Chinese medicine to me (maybe it actually is? haha). But when it’s made into chips, it’s so delicious! Just like ordinary potato chips but a healthier version. I finished the whole bowl of soup and felt like I was 90% full already…Glad that we didn’t go for the 5-course menu!

Main course is a Spinach Artichoke Homemade Ribbon Pasta with Almond, Olive and Dill. The ribbon pasta was made with kale! Oh my god! I wonder how much effort was put to make this delicious pasta! And again, Pamela had worked her magic and made me like the food that I don’t normally like to eat - artichoke and olive. They both taste quite strong to me, a bit too sour. But they were actually fine in this pasta as they added a bit of flavour to the otherwise plain dish, and I ended up finishing everything on the dish

This awesome vegan dinner ended with a Passion Fruit Tart, Thyme Truffle Chocolate, and a Cookie (the ball in the middle of the photo). I was wowed by the fact that you can enjoy really delicious dessert, actually even better than ordinary ones!
The passion tart came with a layer of cream of top, which hid the passion fruit puree underneath. The crunchy tart base was so good that I forgot about my fork and ate it with my hand!
And the thyme truffle chocolate? Oh god, trust me, I couldn’t believe that it’s handmade in this cozy little kitchen! It’s so so good! I simply ran out of vocabulary to describe how good it is.
The cookie? I love it dearly! It’s so fluffy and flavoured! Nom nom nom! I wouldn’t mind one more piece of it!
Going green and having vegan diet have been a trend in Hong Kong recently, and I do quite like this trend as it promotes a healthier eating habit and a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. However, people often have a misconception that vegan or vegetarian would be boring and tasteless as there is no meat nor fancy seasonings. I sincerely hope that more people can try out Pamela’s cooking to know that there is a whole new world of vegan food outside, it’s just waiting for you to uncover!
