The food brought me such a light and joyous feeling. There is something so serene about eating a clean (cruelty free) meal in a spiritual place. I've never tried temple food before, but being a vegetarian, I was excited to try it. The dishes were simple and satisfying, I tried the mixed vegetarian, which was a combination of three meat substitutes, one was tofu but I'm not sure what the others were. Then I ordered a dimsum plate with tofu cake, green tea cake, and a spring roll. I also bought a bottle of soya milk. The soya was so pure, it tasted nothing like the soymilk I buy back home. Everything was delicious! This ended up being a lot of food for just me, but they had lids (they don't stick, you have to hold it in place and carry by hand).
If it wasn't such a big and expensive journey to get here, I would've made one more visit during my stay in Hong Kong. I'm currently sitting at my gate for Bangkok and wondering where I can find Soya like that.
The deli counter has so many options and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Being located right next to the temple, I had a beautiful view while eating my meal. read more
