What size do you prefer – SML?

Democracy comes in 3 sizes

If you want to feel the pulse of Hong Kong head on to Causeway Bay – one of the trendiest shopping district on Hong Kong island.

And right within Times Square, you can now suggest to friends a funky restaurant on the 11th floor of the Food Forum – SML.

What I really like about SML is as the name suggests, you get to choose what size the dish comes in – small, medium or large.

As its tagline says, “Democracy comes in 3 sizes”.

Since I personally prefer to try many different dishes but in small portions, this concept liberates me, particularly when it serves a good number of  vegetarian options to keep veggie foodies happy.

Lunch at World Peace Cafe


After a hectic morning at work, if you head on to the World Peace Cafe for lunch at Wanchai, you’ll be surrounded by a sense of calm.

Not that this place is quiet, you usually have to book in advance to secure seats, but the environment has a positive energy around it.

Perhaps it has to do with the waiters and waitresses who are all volunteers, despite being busy shuttling around tables to take orders and serve food, they are still quite friendly.
World Peace doesn’t offer a wide variety of food you can choose from, just three sets – A, B and C but it does have a good range of Western and Asian fusion.
As you can tell from the pictures, the dishes score points for its presentation but also the quality.
An average lunch set costs close to $100, which comes with a drink and an appetizer.
I like to round off my meal with a cup of organic peppermint tea or cupuccino – World Peace Style.

Power lunch @ Cafe O

I was told that the Cafe O on Queens Rd Central is a good place to conduct your meetings since it has 2 levels and obviously quieter upstairs.
Cafe O has a wide range of European food from your usual sandwiches, salads to metre long pizzas.
What I like about this place is it has a good range of vegetarian options particularly for pizzas or even the set meal offers.
I’ve yet to try its lasagne but I enjoyed the calzone and as you can see in the picture below, the cafe was offering a wheat base pizza special.

I opted for the pumpkin and spinach toppings and it was filling without making me feel too sleepy to work later.

The thin, crispy crust helps and knowing that it’s made of wheat flour makes me feel less guilty indulging in such a big portion.

Do give Cafe O a try if you want a healthy lunch fix.
