公司尾牙年飯，在酒家包了團餐，我心想：應該又是傳統中式菜吧，應該沒有什麼特別驚喜。只是公司知道我是素食的，特地替我叫了一份素食餐，這就讓我帶點期望。下了班，跟隨大伙兒浩浩蕩蕩去到如心廣場，找到了精緻的酒家。鋪面面積雖不大，但乾淨整齊，燈火通明，服務員熱情的招呼，令人感到精神爽利。甫坐下來，服務員就殷勤前來，給我們端了不同種類的茶--普洱、鐵觀音, 有養生同事怕寒涼，酒樓這特地準備了玄米茶，想的真周到。這就是年飯的菜單。一如既往，我期待的就是壓軸的甜品上菜時候到了，第一道就是乳豬。上菜時伴了滑稽的道地音樂，營造氣氛，亦能提醒正social的大伙兒就座進餐。乳豬上場了，雖然早段說過，我是吃素的，但看到乳豬旁的饅頭片片，也覺得有一點驚喜，因為傳統酒家的乳豬只是乳豬，並沒有其他伴菜餚。這下吃素的吃貨，跟同枱吃飯的大伙兒也不用光坐著，可以嚐一下饅頭片片沾甜醬。正當我帶點尷尬的吃著饅頭片片時，登登，素食第一道菜上場了，就是醋拍青瓜木耳。yum, 這木耳爽脆，青瓜充滿清新的甜味，開胃至極。第二道葷菜就是飽魚鵝掌，真是很有"意頭”, 魚與熊掌，兩者兼得。到我的素菜，竟然是燉湯，是豆腐金黃玉米湯。光看燉碗上文藝的花紋，再加兩層的蓋子，就能看出酒家的精緻用心。葷食第三道是龍蝦伊麵。一端上來，震撼至極，龍蝦是滿盤子的，紅彤彤，真的“發得滿堂紅”。素食第三道是美如一幅畫的爽口素小炒，碟子旁真的有一幅充滿中式風情的畫呢。這小炒全加上了爽口的豆莢、蓮藕、木耳、西芹、黃耳、馬蒂，加起來就是一大個 “爽”字葷食的下一道是金黃黃金香脆魚球。雖沒有放進口一嚐，但旁邊的同事一放進口，我就聽到爽脆的卜卜聲在我耳邊迴響，就知道是脆得令人欲罷不能。輪到我的素食，就是純潔整齊模樣的竹笙紅蘿蔔蘑菇碟。竹笙整齊的鋪放在七彩的素菜食材上，一看就知道這是酒家用心堆砌的素食好菜。葷食的這個翅，非常震撼。看，滿滿的碗中是重重的骨膠原啊（雖然我沒有吃，但在一邊也和同事一起驚呼了一下，其實是我家公司老闆自資加料的吧。）接下來的葷菜就是佈滿綠油油的蔥的蒸魚,原隻肉騰騰的炸子雞和香噴噴的糯米飯（因為只能上載12張照片，所以這三道沒有照片）。正餐吃畢，然後就是期特已久的甜品！這個斑蘭千層糕一夾起來就聞到撲鼻的斑蘭香，吃起來軟糯糯的，甜而不膩，就算正餐吃完也絕對可以至少吃兩三個。（同事還特地問了酒家，確認這道平時點心時間是可以點的！我一定會再來吃這個！！！）在最後的消滯水果盤前就是紅豆兩團圓的芝麻湯圓紅豆糖水。這不是糖加水，是滿滿紅豆加漲卜卜的芝麻湯圓。好吃！這晚尾牙年飯雖是傳統中式團餐，但又加入清新元素，酒家提供素食給我這素食者，讓我可跟大伙兒同枱吃團餐的安排真的很貼心。特別推介斑蘭千層糕，我會為這糕再來的！ …查看更多

This cafe is located inside the Mills, a revitalized industrial building in Tsuen Wan.  There are quite a few other cafes inside the building.  This cafe is at the end of the 1/F. The MillsThe MillsOpen area with seatsI intended to find some new cafes for a quick workday lunch. Couldn't find the vegetarian one I wanted to go, so I entered this cafe.  Wanted to order the avocado toast but it's got sold out.  So I ordered a scrambled egg toast ($58 on the lunch set menu) and a cup of cappuccino (+$6 for lunch set). I wasn't told for how long I would have to wait for my food, so I expected 10-15min would be reasonable for a sandwich and coffee for most Hong Kong restaurants. At the end, I waited for over 35min (order made at 1.21pm and got the food at 1.57pm).  Got the toast finally but I didn't have time to have my lunch because I had to return to my office before 2pm. Because of the Cafe's exceptionally slowness in food preparation, I had to ask for a takeaway box. Got refused twice by the cashier until I reached a girl who seemed to be the manager of the cafe. Went back to my office and ate at the desk at around 2.05pm, I was wondering what is it so special in the egg toast that it required 35min for the kitchen to prepare it.  The toast was not even toasted! It's softer than my pillow! The only answer could be the special secret sauce they sprinkled on the egg coz I could taste a trace of soy sauce (yes 美極). Absolutely not going again.…查看更多

聽朋友說屯門新開了一間素食餐廳食物不錯的，昨晚便去了一嚐。餐廳環境不錯，整潔、光線充足，尤以黃光照明，給人一種家的溫暖感。近窗邊則有三、四張四人桌，窗簾於傍晚捲上，食客可眺望街上行人及平台上玩樂的雀鳥。我們坐在窗邊其中一桌，員工即時好客地介紹可點菜的餐牌 -- 有掛於牆上的數個和員工遞上的兩面餐牌，另有每日套餐，大部分小菜均附送例湯一客，套餐另有白飯一客，價錢亦相對便宜。因我們只有兩人，而且平日吃不多，點菜不能太多，故點了一份套餐和一碟小菜。因時候尚早（約六時），人流不多，小菜很快就煮好端上。先上的是例湯：青紅蘿蔔粟米湯 （跟餐）用料十足，味道鮮甜、濃郁。除了湯名上列出之食材，還有少量腰果碎加甜。喝後沒有口渴感，應沒有添加味精。第一道菜是：沙嗲雜菜煲 （$70）以鐵鍋載盛，內有大量杏鮑菇及各種如金菇、木耳、草菇等雜菌、還有大白菜（旺菜）、腐竹及豆腐（豆腐是外皮啡黃，裏面白滑的那種，很好吃）。小菜以沙嗲汁浸煮，沙嗲味嗅起來比吃起來濃，味道近似打邊爐沙嗲湯底內的菜，少量大白菜因鐵鍋太熱焦了。 第二道是：青瓜木耳杏鮑牛蒡飯 （$48 連紅米拌白飯）獻汁色深味道剛好不太濃，內有角切杏鮑菇、青瓜段、木耳、紅蘿蔔片及牛蒡素塊。青瓜清甜，牛蒡素肉塊略嫌有味精味（不過基本上所有素肉都有味精🙈）。份量較普通小菜少，不過二人點一小菜一套餐則剛好（100%飽）。整體而言，餐廳環境不錯，食物味比較其他素食餐廳淡但恰到好處，感覺上較健康。推介例湯，湯渣很多且甜而不膩，沒味精，真的很好喝（感覺比那間專賣杯裝湯水貴得要命湯沒有渣的連鎖專門店好很多）。😁👍🏻…查看更多

Today was a rainy day but it didn't kill my appetite!  Suddenly got an urge to go visit KALE cafe for lunch, coz I've been hearing this name several times and it's always on my wishlist.  Then I travelled all the way from my workplace to Sheung Wan, which spent me like 15 minutes, to explore this new place.It's actually not easy to find.  It's located within a commercial building where the entrance is located at an alley, a few blocks away from the MTR Exit E1. The cafe got bar tables and dinning tables in there.  For people going alone, it'd be better to sit on the high tables coz one could see the street view of Sheung Wan from the window.  They've got juices, burgers, sliders and salad to choose from.  There're 5 or 6 options of salad, you could go for all or just one or two, which is up to you.  As a salad-lover, I chose the "Hungry" size salad ($65) with all types of salad, instead of the "bite-size" ($55).My salad contained roasted veggies, kale, gemelli, beetroot, and quinoa with brown rice and coix seeds.  My favorite one is the juicy and sweet beetroot!  It was thick and succulent.  The Okra and Kale were good too!  These greens were perfect match with the lettuce and mango, making the whole salad refreshing and healing.   It's a really good, replenishing, and relaxing lunch experience for busy and stressful HKers.  …查看更多

I've been reading posts and articles about this first and only raw food restaurant in Hong Kong, wanna go ahead and try it so long, but it was open only in week days lunch time. Somehow, I took a leave this Friday, so I got a chance to try it.The restaurant was combined with an organic food store next to it, they've got snacks such as Kale chips and chia crackers as well as their homemade raw food seasonings. They serve 2 lunch sets here, which would be changed every month. The first option for this month is a Mexican nacho and the second is tomato spaghetti. Each set serves with soup and salad. I chose the spaghetti one coz I like tomatoWhile I was waiting for the food (which took quite long, frankly), the helpful waitresses explained to me the concepts of their restaurant and gave me a booklet of class schedule for the self-help courses they offer. Then here come the food:The first one is the green smoothies, which contains banana, pineapple, spinach and herb (tastes like lemon grass?) To me, it tastes like a dessert rather than a soup but this thick fruity little bowl blasted my taste buds. The salad was refreshing, especially the mango and the citric dressing, which blended in quite well, giving a scent of tropical breeze.The main was tomato spaghetti. I was wondering how spaghetti could be done uncooked while the waitress explained to me that it was actually zucchini! They shredded it with a machine then mixed with tomato paste! It is really stunning and surprising. It tastes fresh and crispy. I could never imagine zucchini could be served this way. No wonder it took that long to prepare the food lol.…查看更多

I was going to tsim sha tsui to meet my friend from Japan but she wasn't ready yet, so I ve decided to go somewhere to enjoy my dinner first. Then IPC came to my mind becoz of its fresh food and leisure environment.There was just a man and a gal in the restaurant as i arrived around 6.30pm , so I'm seated as soon as I entered the place.I ordered a drink from the menu, and the waitress (who looked and sounded like a mum) told me to pick one from the fridge (which made me felt as comfy and free as home). The waitress gave me two glasses, one for the drink and the other for warm water.Then i ordered the beetroot and fresh fruit salad(apple) which i love the most after their mixed veggie quinoa . I listened to the Hispanic music playing in the restaurant while I was waiting for the food and relaxed. Soon, there came my salad. It was big and attractive. The beetroot was cut into chunks, keeping the juuce inside, but the chunks were well cooked, so they were soft enough to be chewed.😋😋 The salad dressing was the best, it was sweet and refreshing, tasted like yuzu jam.After the salad, my taste buds were just triggered and wanted an encore lol. So I ordered a soup (pumpkin and tomato on that day). It was served with homemade bread (wine bread that day) which was fresh, moist and soft centered. The soup was surprisingly rich. A lot of pumpkins and tomatoes must had been added in to make it sooooo rich in sweet and slightly sour tomato flavor and with some tiny pumpkin fibre. yummy 😋😋😋😋👍👍P.S. as i entered the restaurant, the waitress asked me if i came for drinks or dinner. I saw they got wines in there and there was a high bar table. I think it could alternatively be a great place for drinks and chatting apart from a relaxing dinner.(*10%service charge)…查看更多

So i went here for dinner, considering not hving to wait for a seat, plus they've got a Green Monday menu which I always luv.I ordered 胡麻牛蒡($28) without too much thinking as long as i say down coz that was what i always stick to when i eat in here. Usually, i would order 蕃茄野菜烏冬or豆漿湯烏冬，but this day i wanna try new items, so i ordered 豆腐雜菌煲($48) at the end.First it came the burdock(牛蒡)， it tasted as usual, crispy, fresh, rough and sweeThen it came the tofu mushrooms pot. To my surprise, the quantity was not quite in proportion with the price. An ordinary udon only costs$ 46 and can fees u like a pig, but this one was $48, without any udon. There are only 1 block of tofu, 3 chinese mushrooms, some slices of wild white mushrooms, a bunch of 金針， and a small piece of seaweed. To be exact, the restaurant requires 10% service charge, making it almost $53, totally overpriced.what is more was that the waitress kept checking if i was done with my dinner by walking back and forth in the aisle and looking into my dishes and bowls. They told the customers waiting outside that i was almost done. come on, i juz ate less than 15 min, how could this Japanese restaurant sounds like an American fast food store?!…查看更多

Wr found this the only place in the Olympic shopping mall with no queue waiting outside at dinner time, so wr entered the place since we were freaking hungry.i ordered a bowl of tomato yasai udon which i like the most in any udon restaurant, plus a plate of edamame. The food served quite fast and soon came the edamame, followed by the udon.The edamame was like normal, nth special, but the udon was yum and surprising. Not to say the ingredients were sumptuous, the soup was so rich with tomatoes and butter, a perfect flavor for winter All in all, the food worth the price which is not expensive but the service could be improved if the waiters could return us the change as fast as calculating the bill.…查看更多

Went so boring for dinner last Saturday becoz if the recommendation of my sis, saying that therestaurant is very special, incorporated with local dai paai dong style and western vegan cuisine. Full of anticipation, my accompany and I found the place despite of its partial isolation from the main street. we read the menu and found there're only a few choices on it, with 2 appetizers,2 soups, 2 mains, 2 desserts...but they seemed fine and healthy.i ordered beetroot soup and pasta with bell peppers and herb. we waited for like 20 min until a young boy served us with a small dish (about the size of a sauce dish) of lettuce salad which we had never ordered.Another 20 min passed and still our order was not ready. As a matter of fact, the place where we were sitting was totally uncovered and the foldable table we were using was broken and it kept leaning over one side if some objects were to be placed on that side. Waited for more than 40min, we could then totally understand the name of that restaurant--so boring. No wonder...Finally, waited for 50 min, we ve decided to leave and we paid 20 dollars for the small salad which we didn't order. We left with a cold, hungry and disappointed body.😢…查看更多

Have heard Mana! long time ago and always wanna try it. Got no appointment today, so I've decided to go Mana! alone to get relaxed.The cafe has 2 floors, the lower one is bar table area and the order counter, while the second is divided into two sections, one contains a large, rectangle table for group, the other section is also a har table but located in an open area. I like the upper level more coz it's brighter and it adopts natural sunlight. Definitely relaxing for us coz an ignited incent is placed here, creating like a meditation environment.Speaking of the food, I chose a small salad box with all the 5 types of salad included ($75). you could choose any of those that you want and up to the max of 5. Thus, I've got the Kale, mixed green, chickpea, quinoa with rice, and roasted veggies. I like the mixed green the most coz it's dressing is more refreshing, tastes like pomelo. it's comparatively more expensive than average salads out there but more filling, probably becoz of the large proportion of chickpeas. Next time i might exclude that lolOrder a cup of Chia tea ($35) without milk along with the salad. It has a strong scent of cinnamon which i like the best. It tastes sweet at the final few sips. I read their menu and saw an Earth Drink (sth like that) written on the wall, with beet, carrot and another ingredient pressed into the drink. I'm gonna try it next time. overall speaking, the ambience is v relaxing with good music, scent, furniture, and decorations. The food is good too but not v impressive, was expecting a lot more. still i would recommend this place for a weekend chill. luv it …查看更多

Ve been trying to go vegan after recovering from several consecutive illnesses in the first half of the year. Sadly, there's only a few restaurants in Hong Kong that serve vegan healthy food..……Ve been searching for some organic vegan stores and got this cafe with an interesting name located in such rarely quiet and exotic place as Tai Hung...immediately thought of going...It didn't disappointed me with its natural ambience, particularly the wooden stools. It's well furnished. The wheatgrass shot even gave me more surprise as I sipped on the tiny green shot. It was so fresh and grassy, as if i were tasting the afterain grasses. The salad mix was so so though. I expect the size could be increased and that I could choose the proportion of different kinda salad in the future. …查看更多

本來打算去附近另一間餐廳，但太多人所以轉地方。行左幾條街朋友都話d 餐廳逼，最後入左呢間空盪盪一個人都無既。Menu 選擇唔太多，最後我揀左antipasti 前菜同garlic and olive oil penne.成間餐廳等我地兩個客人，但上菜速度勁慢，等左好耐，終於上個antipasti. 又話係前菜，成碟油浸菜，食到勁漏。😨見到咁，已經醒水，叫waiter 叫人整penne 落少d 油。到個penne 上，又係油浸，食到反冑。下次咪搞…查看更多
