Hong Kong – Vegetarians 27Mar09

Boy was I in heaven. There are plenty of vegetarian restaurants around Hong Kong. Might not have very much luck with street stalls but restaurants are open pretty late and you’re bound to find something. And there’s a street market in just about every area. Most markets have a section that sell fresh fruits.

Mini Mangos

I went to a couple really amazing vegetarian restaurants:

M Garden Vegetarian in Mong Kok
They had everything from shark fin soup to dumplings to all types of faux meats. My favorite was the shark fin soup. These were very tasty as well:

Vegetarian Hainan Chicken

Gaia Veggie Shop in Prince Edward
This was the most interesting veggie place, they had sushi! Well not real sushi but it looked just like it. Not quite sure about the taste – the tuna and the salmon was close but the abalone was just different.

They also had a really delicious roast duck that you make into little wraps yourself.

And some pretty interesting things they made up like these golden pouches.

Latest Latte

Ground Support

My local favorite is currently Ground Support in SOHO. I go there almost every day for a smooth creamy soy cappuccino or if it’s hot out an iced soy latte. When I’m not in a hurry to run out, I try to take a few extra minutes to enjoy the coffee in the shop… you know, chat with the staff, catch up on some calls and best of all… people watch. Always some interesting characters in NYC!
