I love eating meat. A meal without meat is usually a sad meal for me. However, I heard that Po Lin…read moreMonastery has really amazing vegetarian food. I was skeptical that I could be blown away, but I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. Indeed, I was blown away. The food was so fresh, flavorful, delicious, and affordable. There is a restaurant and a cafe. The restaurant offers a set menu while the cafe has dim sum and snack items. I got in the cafe line, which moved quickly, and ordered a bowl of three different flavors of seitan, a dumpling, a piece of turnip cake, a piece of mango agar, and a cup of mango sago. There is only outdoor seating, and I found myself a seat at an empty table and enjoyed the nice weather and temple scenery. It was my first meal of the day. I started off so hungry, and I ended up so full. You can either climb the steps of the Tian Tan Buddha first and then reward yourself with delicious food once you get back down, or you can stuff yourself with food and then burn off those calories climbing up and down the steps. I did the latter since I was so hungry, and then I spent a lot of time walking around the temple grounds to continue burning off those calories.

The vegetarian meal for 2 comes with: - Tea…read more- Snow fungus and papaya soup - Lemon bean curd - Mushrooms and lettuce - Snow pea stir fry - Spring rolls - Bowl of rice Aside from the soup, which I found rather bland, every other dish was perfectly seasoned and delicious. It was a great cleanse meal to detox from all the other food we've been eating in the city haha. Warning: the meals come with a ton of food so I think ordering the set meal for 1 less than the number of people in your party should be good. You have to buy the meal tickets at the booth outside the restaurant before entering. Prices are kind of expensive in my opinion but the taste and amount of food make up for it.

Coming from a Tai O family, we grew up dining at this restaurant for authentic Lantau cuisine! They…read morehave vegetarian dishes as well as meat dishes. This place gets really busy during weekends so reservation is highly recommended. You call in for your booking please reserve a chicken! Their salt baked chicken is one of the best in town!!! If you're coming with the big group you might also consider to reserve the "eight treasure duck" 八寶鴨！The chicken usually sold out during the weekends, and the duck takes a day to prepare. My family usually orders the Taro Rolls 麗蓉卷，tofu 紅燒豆腐，imitated abalone and veggies 素鮑魚時菜。These are the signature Landau vegetarian dishes that we come back time after time, year after year. This restaurant is as local as it gets and it's one of the local gems in town!

Eggplant, green beans, broccoli rabe, rice and an egg fritter, plus soup! I caught them as they were closing and they were generous with the portions.

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.

Restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of Coda Plaza, it is a good 10 minutes walk from the nearest MTR station, so plan ahead. Seems like advance reservation is recommended for the weekend, as I see lots of people coming during the peak lunch hours. While I do not know what ingredients they put into their dim sum, they were delicious and not filled with mock meat. However, it is a little bit on the pricey side. Cost for Dim Sum was roughly $200/people. This visit to Pure Veggie House definitely changed what I thought about Chinese Vegetarian restaurants. I would definitely recommend this to friends.

A restaurant that is dedicated to serving Vegetables and Non-Meat Protein, one would think its a…read morenovel idea as more and more are opting for non-animal product food source in our more environmentally conscious society! 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 arrived in Hong Kong on a lazy Sunday evening. We found Veggie Palace near our hotel. The…read morerestaurant had more patrons than other restaurants around it, so we decided to eat there. 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.

While you don't get nearly the same healthy-zen-place-hippy vibe from Life Café Discovery Bay, you still get a similar menu of delicious made-to-order food and grab'n'go snacks and juices that are perfect if you miss your ferry by a few minutes. I wouldn't pick this spot for a more formal meal (like I would for the other location) but for a healthy lunch or a snack (or cheeky glass of wine) on the run? Perfect!
