🌱Veggie Dumplings served on stove! 真餃不怕純爐火 🔥 .We ordered dumplings in vegetarian and meat options. And surprised to know that they offer Tom yum broth!! Dumplings are with chewy wrappers and doesn’t feel like heavily-MSG-ed (unlike 灣仔碼頭素餃)tomato and egg 🍅 .mixed vegetables 🥗 .They also serve vegetarian Dan Dan noodles (no meat, but still pork broth used) 🍜 and lots of veggie sides 🥒 🍄 …Read More

The hearty and cozy restaurant provided really diverse and healthy vegetarian options -🌱menu shows whether the dishes contain egg / diary products 🥚🥛 ❌ 🌱 a lot of non-fake meat options available (唔駛食素肉)🤪.But the stir fried food was a bit too oily. And their mock meat is not of the best quality, a bit too dry and too chewy. But with such diverse options, I will definitely revisit if I am in To Kwa Wan!!.🍲Sauteed stir fried tofu with various fungus 黃耳雲耳猴頭菇百合豆腐煲 😋🤤👍🏼 Yummy but a bit oily..🍡Satay fake meat skewer 沙嗲素肉 (a bit too salty).🥣 Vegetable soup 素老火湯(nice 天地有正氣)…Read More

Fear of fake meat? 見到素肉會驚驚？🙂Then you must try “must-see-gwud” (蜜絲骨) 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏾.🧑🏾‍🦱 will be disgusted by “fake meat” that looks / tastes / smells like meat. This signature 蜜絲骨(sweet pork) nails it by using FUNGUS instead..🥩 Satay beef pot (It looks like raw beef. Glad that it tastes like beans.).🥑 Truffle avocado fried rice (quite good, a bit oily).🍣 Sushi (just fried rolls…)…Read More

🇹🇼 We finally got Taiwanese food 🥹 挑戰素食敵人台灣菜😏終於有素便當🫶🏼Veg/Om friendliness: 👌👌👌(extra marks for its YUMMINESS 🤪)Veg options: 🥦🥦 (only 1 veggie bento available)🍱Veggie bento (ok)🍠Sweet potato fries in black sugar sauce (good)🫓Scallion pancakes (recommended 💕 not sure if vegan friendly)🥗 Yuzu salad (too plain)We ordered almost all vegetarian options.…Read More

Vegetarian friendliness:4/5 .We’re happy that they have a “Vegetables” section for dinner menu. There were also many veg "small dishes", but it would be better if they can serve more veg mains for dinner..Service is excellent! My mom (as an Asian/Chinese mom) loves the excellent services 💗 Hot water provided and constantly refilled 🍵.🥦 Feta cheese / lentil pasta surprisingly yummy and al denté! 🤤🍝.🥦Hummus and pita bread (fair).🥦Fritters (a bit too salty and quite dryyy).🥦Roasted eggplants (excellent).🥦baked halloumi with pomegranates (I enjoy the sweet savory combination).🥦baked cauliflower with lemon and yogurt.🐟..Taste wise, food is average. It’s worth going for lunch when it was set at $150 a year ago. Now it’s $180. But not bad definitely!.Fair Middle East option if you are around Wan Chai and seeking a romantic vibe at bar table🍷 There are for sure better vegetarian middle east food on HK Island but somehow it is a no-brainer for Wan Chai / Admiralty people ✨…Read More

🧑🏾‍🦱👩🏻 we said NO 🙃..It’s disappointing that “(Veg option available)” on menu = no meat and no substitute ingredients ⚠️ .Plain noodles and teoboki are the only main dish with vegetarian options so we chose them to hv a try. But they turned out to be VERY disappointing given the price..🥦Burrata with vinegar (~$100, forgot exact price).Appetizer not fresh 😅 Burrata is a bit like rubber….🥦Korean noodles with pork belly (vegetarian option)(around $180).It came to my surprise that the veg option means skipping the meat that is supposed to be the main part of the noodle dish without giving any substitute. Not even more scallion sadly, yet charging at THE SAME PRICE. So we paid $180 for pure instant noodles ?!!!!! The broth and noodles (instant noodles) are alright in taste. .🥦Carbonara Teoboki (around $180).Apparently the restaurant did not realise that skipping the bacon will affect the taste. So the food tasted really bland 😷 or, maybe the food was supposed to be that bland...🍵Free rice drinks from the restaurant that tasted the best amongst all dishes. .Overall the restaurant is very overpriced for vegetarian 💸($250/person for plain carbs + appetizer).Vegetarian/omnivore friendliness: 2/5 (both feeling not satisfied)Veg options: 1/5 (options are available but not well-thought)…Read More

The food is good and solid. The ambience is excellent. Sadly the bookings were really packed so we were hurried to leave. It’s proven how good this restaurant is. We would definitely come back!.🌱Tamarind roasted beetrootIt’s delicious and without the heavy beetroot grassy taste. We like it!..🌱Baked auberginePretty good and saucy...🌱Gouegere!!!! The bread is made with cheese blended throughout the whole bun. It’s also crispy at the outside and tender and moist inside. It is the must try item that I can’t stop eating 💕 ..😆Stuffed calamari (Omnivore)..😆Grilled butter chicken (omnivore)Just average in terms of juiciness and tenderness of the chicken.…Read More

Having our favorite frozen yogurt. Smile is a bit pricy overall speaking but yomama has too few toppings to choose from.The Garden ($52) - Lychee and berries flavorThe syrup inside is pretty sweet but we’re glad that the yogurt and the fruit balance the taste.Chocolate lover ($68) - Chocolate muffin flavorThe muffin was not very fluffy, nor does it match with the yogurt either. Probably we won’t order this again.…Read More

My boyfriend and I were longing for Spanish food and we came across this restaurant in Wan Chai. We waited for about 15 minutes at 8:30pm so the house was very full indeed..We love this cozy Spanish restaurant with surprisingly a number of vegetarian options. Special thanks to the nice waiter who offered separating meat to make tapas veggie friendly 🥹 A bit pricy but we would come back for their vegetarian tapas!.Vegetarian friendliness: 4/5Yummy?: 4/5.Broken eggs with Morcilla (Morcilla on the side but we both don’t eat organs)This dish is really flavorful with egg, potato, paprika etc and one of the highlight of that night...Padron pepper I don’t like green pepper usually but this is not grassy at all and I can’t stop! Perfectly grilled and seasoned...Tortilla (Chorizo on the side)The addition of edamame gave it a Japanese twist. Quite good and not heavy...Cheese platterJust average, the dried fruits were not very fresh and felt like having the smell of long time storage. The cheese and fruits were not extremely matched...Lemon and thyme sorbet This is very yummy! We saw some customers just visited this restaurant to order this dessert...Sangria (didn’t know that it comes with egg white foam when ordered 😰)…Read More
