We went there last evening for dinner. It was earlyish and they weren't as busy but by the time we…read morewere done, the place was filling up. Predominantly vegan, the place can be described as ovo lacto vegetarian. Jasmine tea, preserved vegetable dumplings with broth, fried noodles with vegetables, fried rice with chinese mahogany and an eggplant claypot was on the table. With a side of pickled cucumbers and mushrooms. The claypot eggplant was the star, flavorful and very tender. Spicier would've made the dish star-rier. It didn't occur to me that the fried noodles would be actually fried and not stir fried. Abundant mushrooms in that one. The fried rice was nicely done, crisp vegetables and all. The white pepper brings out the flavors. The dumplings were good, thin wrappers and mostly mushrooms in there. The broth was simple but tasted good, and I think it was the white pepper that did it again. They have non-Taiwanese / international dishes on the menu as well, so that maybe for another time.

One of a few pure vegetarian restaurants in Wan Chai. The set up of this place for lunch is similar…read moreto Happy Veggies in Wan Chai and Art Veggies in Sheung Wan, but this is my favorite by far compared to the others. They're similar in the aspect that you get to choose 3 veggie dishes / sides out of 6 listed options. If you work in Wan Chai (or even just in the area) and want to grab a quick vegetarian meal, this is the place to go! I love eating here compared to the other two similar concept restaurants because the food is simply the tastiest of the three. Everything is just super flavorful and tasty. Also, unless Happy Veggies and Art Veggies, they give you a small bowl of rice in case you're the type of person that doesn't eat much rice, but then they give you the option to scoop more rice and soup. Unlimited rice and soup, at your service! The other locations only give you one bowl or rice and one bowl of soup. THUS, if you're the type to eat a lot, you will certainly get the bang for your buck here. I always leave this place pretty full and satisfied. Aside from the veggie sides being yummier than the other places, the portions are larger too for the same price. So... even though Happy Veggies is closer to my office, I still rather take a bit longer time to walk here and eat Liza Veggies' food. :) *FYI - they display their daily veggie options in Chinese... Thus if you can't read Chinese, I recommend coming here with a friend that can read Chinese OR just look around tables to see what others are eating to get a sense of what you would like to get. It is certainly not ideal for non-Chinese readers, but promise it is worth it! My Chinese reading skills aren't all that great too, but I still come back time after time. It's a testament to their food la. ;)

I love Simplylife cafes because the ambiance and decor is always clean and attractive, with attentive service but in a casual setting. Coffee is great here and most locations have great dessert, too. As for the set lunch, most locations have the same items available, but with slight variations. E.g. one of my favorite options is the chicken burger, and here it comes with gouda and portobello on top, but not all locations serve it that way - they offer different toppings. The french fries are also great. Food is fresh and seasonably chosen in terms of what comes in daily soup/salad options. I definitely recommend this restaurant as a great lunch option for a working lunch or weekday shopping trip!

The decor is simple, brasserie like, ambience is relaxing. The staff is attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. On weekends they have a special brunch menu, which is really good value for money. The normal menu and kids menu is always available. The drinks menu is extensive, full bar is available. They have a decent selection of wine from different parts of the world. Selection by the glass is decent as well. To our surprise the food was excellent. We ordered cheese burgers, French toast and rosti potatoes with smoked salmon. The meat of the burgers was nicely cooked, the brioche like Bun was fresh and crispy, not soggy at all. The rosti potatoe was crispy, not oily at all. Smoked salmon was nice, the dill and yoghurt matched perfectly. Highlight was the French Toast. It was crispy, not too sweet, the batter not too thick, nice touch of cinnamon. The creme fraiche and the berries accompanied nicely. Looking forward to coming back to try more from the main menu.

I really enjoy exploring the new cafes and restaurants that's been proliferating within the Kwun…read moretong factory scene, and I'm so happy with this find! As with all the others, the journey here is marked with cautious anticipation - from locating the right factory building among the many other grey, run down entrances, to riding that elevator up to the right floor floor with a row of silent big metal gates marking the entrances of other tenants, to opening that one door and entering into a whole different environment of glassware clinking, servers hustling and diners enjoying their food. // FOOD // FRIED CALAMARI APPETIZER: this was recommended by our server (who was amazing btw) as one of the most popular appetizers there. The fried crispy calamari was made special by a spice coating and green pickled chilies scattered among the golden rings, and the avocado dip that accompanied it cuts perfectly into the oiliness of the calamari. Calamari wasn't THE best quality I've had, but the flavors more than made up for it to make me love this dish. I would highly recommend this, as this is quite a unique dish! SEAFOOD PASTA IN TOMATO SAUCE: don't think this was the exact name, but that's the gist of the dish. Super flavorful tomato sauce, generous portions of clams and shrimp bits, perfectly cooked pasta. Simple dish, but surprisingly yummy! BONE IN PORK CHOP: it came sliced up to reveal the perfectly cooked interior, so it was very convenient to share. Lovely juicy meat with amazing roasted vegetables, and it comes with a yuzu dipping sauce. Save some of the avocado dip from the appetizer, and slather it onto the roasted vegetables; it's actually delicious! TIRAMISU: again, a simple dish but made really well! It was creamy and the coffee flavors came through nicely. TOFU CHEESECAKE W BLACK SESAME SAUCE: so this was more of a novelty driven decision... We originally wanted the double chocolate tart but they took it off the menu, so I guess I was looking forward to something more rich. It was good, with a sprinkling of nuts on top that adds to the texture, but I guess I just don't really like tofu cheesecake (tastes a little too healthy haha) // SERVICE // The server who took our order was super friendly! She recommended the appetizer, which we ended up going with and enjoyed, and took the time to clearly explain the differences between two different pork based main courses when we couldn't decide. Our water was also refilled regularly and service was really attentive. // ENVIRONMENT // The decor was nice, seating was comfortable without being too crowded (they also have several large tables so this is a good spot for a group! We saw two groups celebrating birthdays that night). However, it was a little loud - maybe because of the way the acoustics in the room are, or maybe because of the fact that there are a few large groups. It's not to the point of discomfort, but you do have to raise your voice a little to carry a conversation, so that's what knocked the one star off. Overall, enjoyed it and will be returning!

Causeway Bay is one of the busiest and most vibrant districts in the World where locals, business…read moretravelers, and leisure tourists all congregate in the core of the metropolitan area where most of the big name restaurants are located. Unfortunately, some of the best eats (with great values) are often overlooked. Today, let me take you to one of those shiny, but hidden local gems. Florahouse is located in an obscure side street called Shelter Street which can easily be assessed on foot from the center of Causeway Bay via the pedestrian flyover near St. Paul Covenant School. The restaurant is located opposite the front entrance of a small boutique hotel (Rosedale Hotel). The restaurant is small and intimate with a flowery theme, an inviting atmosphere, and friendly vibes. The décor is contemporary with subtle hints of nature and health in the background. The health food theme is reflected in the menu as well, and is highlighted by the vegan dish Organic Earth Bowl. It's made with quinoa, corn, cherry tomato, red kidney beans among other goodies and was presented with a sliced avocado. The burger lover in me had to sample the Hong Kong rendition of the American burger and I was completely satisfied. The burger came with French fries and a green salad that was artfully presented which once again highlighted the floral theme of the restaurant. Other dishes that we ordered included linguine with smoked duck breast, carbonara, and linguine sautéed with kimchi and sliced beef. They were all delicious. The lunch specials are amazing values for your dollars. All but one (sirloin steak) of all the set lunches are under USD10 and come with a choice of soup, tea or coffee. We had the beet soup which was a smooth, creamy blender soup that was delicious and (again) healthy! I would highly recommend choosing the soup. Service has been friendly and prompt throughout our meal. The servers were truly wonderful and they turned an enjoyable lunch into a delightful and memorable dining experience.
