This is a Chinese style vegetarian food where they use meat substitutes to look and taste like real meat. Normally I am not a fan of this, I love vegetables but if i want some cha siu pork, I'll buy the real thing.... In saying this, the food was delicious. We ordered five dishes to share between the four of us. Their fried rice was delicious, it was an interesting mix of asparagus, egg and avocado. We also ordered a plate of cha siu "pork", Peking style sweet and sour "steak", taro "fish" cakes and and an egg, broccoli and "crab meat" dish. All came out hot, in the Chinese style of when they were ready and not all together. All the fake meats resembled the look and taste and texture of their meat equivalent except for the taro cakes. They just tasted and felt like taro, not fish like at all. This was fin as they tasted delicious as taro cakes. I would recommend coming here with a group as it will be hard to order a variety of dishes if you have no one to share them with.

Our elaborate meal had dim sum - of course! Fried rice for the child and mapo tofu. And some…read morewontons in sweet spicy chilli sauce. The dim sum was superb. Thin and translucent to the point of being almost entirely transparent. The fried rice was simple but tasted great. The mapo tofu didn't have that Sichuan spicy zing to it. We, nevertheless, polished it all off. With jasmine tea on the side. Certainly a place to visit with groups, but they have little low seated tables too, if you want a date meal. Fairly quick service and I know I mentioned the language, but our server spoke English. I know I'll be visiting here again. More photos and detail on the blog - vegetarianvoyager[dot]com.

Try a variety of their dim sum, hot pot and vegetable platters, because everything is tasty, organic and fresh. The first few pages of the menu show where everything is sourced from, so you know it's a priority. There are even a few desserts to round out the meal. The dining experience itself felt authentic as you can get for vegetarian Cantonese cuisine - the staff was attentive, service was efficient and the atmosphere was really pleasant. There were a few Buddhist monks having dinner there too, so that's another sure sign that you're in the right spot. Pro Tips: - Tricky to get here via Subway, best to catch a Red Taxi - Located in a multi-level shopping building, just take the elevator up!

Actually, this type of restaurants has been in existence in Hong Kong or China for hundreds of years if not more, it has a religious connection to most of these establishments as they usually are connected to a Temple or a Monastery that are either Buddhist or Taoist. Veggie Palace is categorized as a "private home kitchen" as it is officially not open to the public, all patrons has to reserve and will be contacted by them to go through menu selection. Prices are fixed, Lunch - HK$188.00 / Dinner - HK$268.00 per person Menu items are Omakase Style - as the Chef will decide what is best of the season and also according to personal taste. They will even keep a record of your past visits to make sure that the menu items you had perviously will not be repeated! Highlight items: Assorted Cold Appetizer as you can see from my photo, this has a variety of items, the centre is a mixed salad with julianne of cucumber, mushrooms, black fungus, and pomelo, it is then surrounded by veggie maki sushi roll, thousand year eggs, veggie ham etc. It is served with a light soy & vinegar based dressing, amazingly refreshing and tasty, I believe it is a signature starter that each table will get! And I am sure it will be requested even if they do not offer it in your next visit! The Mushroom & Vegetables Gyoza in Pumpkin Purée, savoury pumpkin surrounds this small package of amazing umami, the natural sweetness of the vegetables are brought to a new hight with the deep flavours of the mushrooms! Looks like a simple dish, but I am sure the Chef puts in a lot of thought and effort to make this a perfect dish!! As you can see, all the items are presented very well, and non of the dishes tasted the same! Contact them directly to make a reservation and discuss menu selection, and I am sure you will be a fan as well!!

We ordered 2 different Stone Bowl Rice set menu items. #2 with Eggplant and #4 with Lion's Head Mushroom (I believe called Lion's Mane Mushroom in the US) We liked both dishes including the accompanying Soup and appetizers. The Eggplant dish was savory without being greasy (Unlike most eggplant dishes cooked in a wok). The Lion's head Mushroom was very umami and had the texture and flavor of perfectly cooked beef cubes. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

Only one staff person spoke English, and it wasn't my waitress which raised some confusion. Even the staff person who spoke some English had problems understanding me. Ordered the "shark fin" soup and mapo tofu. Mapo tofu looked and tasted nothing like the sichuan dish I'm used to. No peppercorns and only serrano peppers. I liked it and the soup but was confused by the order. Receipt is in Chinese so I didn't understand there was a service charge applied. I tried to pay by credit card but the restaurant insisted on a $150 minimum. When i handed her a $500 bill the non-English speaking waitress said, "Big Money". She looked at me expectantly so I didn't know if I should have tipped there. I ended up leaving a tip on the table which made the manager happy when she called after me for leaving money behind.

The sweet and sour "pork" was a hit for my group. So was the vegetarian sashimi platter, where we all tried to figure out what the mock meat was made of. The "jellyfish" was also really good, and it was interesting that it was in a peanut-flavored sauce. I can't really comment on service other than it seemed quick. There was never a long waiting period in between dishes. I was on vacation with my boyfriend's family, and I don't speak any Cantonese, so they took care of the communication part. I did see an Indian family while we were there, so I'm sure communication should be fine if you don't speak Cantonese. This meal was towards the end of our stay in HK and it's a good meal to cleanse your body. Afterwards, you can walk the strip on Nathan Road and go shopping - walk off your meal!

If you think Hong Kong is a good vegetarian city because it's so diverse -- not completely true if…read moreyou want to get non-Western food. I think the trap is that dishes can *sound* vegetarian, but almost all common broths and sauces contains non-vegetarian items in it. Whenever I go vegetarian, I have a hard time finding more than one item on the menu at any cha chaan teng, because I know what actually goes in it. Which is what makes these sorts of vegetarian restaurants popular. Chinese vegetarian is not just "no killing of animals". They adhere to buddhist vegetarian habits, and don't use certain pungent vegetables like onions, garlic or chives in their cooking. That said, they are also somehow ok with making vegetables look and taste like meat. Gluten puffs that is chewy like a piece of stewed chicken? Sure! Soy protein packed together and sliced like ham? Why not. That is the sort of food you will get here -- vegetarian versions of popular pan-Chinese dishes, with the protein replaced by various plant-items ranging from the innocuous (tofu) to the there's-no-way-this-is-organic. Every bite brought me such surprise, because they do resemble the original dishes -- but it also makes me think, why? Are we not worthy to have vegetarian dishes that celebrate the vegetables on their own merit? That said, if you want some Chinese dishes but don't eat meat, this isn't bad and have a lot more variety of vegetarian dishes than other Chinese places. It also isn't bad for a good karma meal on Buddha's birthday. It just isn't something I actively look forward to.
