This is my favourite Chinese vegetarian restaurant in Hong Kong. As it was Mum's vegetarian day, we decided to come here to have our winter solstice family dinner. When you walk into the restaurant you would always see the display of vegetables which are from their own organic farm. As usual, we started off with their specialty burdock tea which is not common in other Chinese restaurants. It is not a strong tea, but has a great aroma and tastes a little bit sweet.

As usual, we started off with their specialty burdock tea which is not common in other Chinese restaurants. It is not a strong tea, but has a great aroma and tastes a little bit sweet.
It was a cold evening and most of us were quite hungry, so we all went for the all you can eat hotpot. The menu offerred various interesting soup flavours. The choice of food items was quite extensive considering the vegetarian limitation, including different kinds of dumplings, mushrooms, tofu, fresh vegetables, balls and noodles.
After ordering our first round of food (by ticking in the boxes on the menu list), it was time to head to the condiment station to choose/mix our own sauces! Being a strict buddhist vegetarian restaurant, garlic and spring onions were not available, but there were some awesome items such as minced ginger and red beancurd paste. Great to experiment with different combinations.
We had two hotpots. One was a combination of Vegetarian "Bak Kut Teh" and Chinese herbal soup. The former was rich and full of strong flavours, which was a contrast to the later which was quite lighly and refreshing. Both went well with the various balls, dumplings and fresh vegetables.
The other hotpot was the Sichuan spicy soup, which was filled with spices and hot chilies. Went really well with the assorted mushrooms and tofu, as well as the noodles (especially the Sichuan green bean noodles).
Apart from the various organic fresh vegetables, I would recommend their dumpings which looked and tasted great. The dumpling size was small and the skin was thin, so you can have quite a few and experiment with different soup bases and sauces!
At $200 a head it is not the cheapest, but once in awhile it is a satisfying but relatively healthy treat!
