Pleasantly surprised to be invited by Razlan to Ying Vegetarian, who already wrote a fantastic post about this restaurant. Afterall, how can I possibly reject my carnivorous friends that are so enthusiastic to go meatless with me? Here goes:

Japanese cuisine is popular in Hong Kong but it’s not easy to find vegetarian sushi that serves more than your usual cucumber or corn filling.
Avocado crab meat roll
What I like about Gaia, also known as 大自然素食, is they offer mouth-watering sushi that looks so appetizing.
A big fan of avocado, this veggie eel and crab meat roll is my all time favourite.
Apart from a wide selection of Japanese sushi and noodle dishes, Gaia is also known for its Chinese cuisine.

The concept of private kitchen is quite unique to Hong Kong.
The ‘kitchen’ usually decides the menu for you and you need to book in advance.
Veggie Palace (貴德宮皇廷素宴) has a Zen atmosphere, decorated with calligraphy, Chinese paintings and Buddhist altars.
We started our ‘banquet’ with a cold dish that includes a selection of pomelo salad, century eggs, vegetarian ham and sushi rolls.

Whenever I crave Japanese food, Kiosk never fails to satisfy. This Japanese vegetarian restaurant is owned by Mrs. Chen and her son Kelvin usually helps out at the outlet. He’s friendly and speaks good English.
It’s common for vegetarians to opt for the predictable corn and cucumber varieties in normal sushi outlets, but here they serve vegetarian versions of meat floss, abalone, salmon and sashimi.

A new veggie cafe opened in the heart of Central, which makes you feel like you’ve time- travelled back to San Francisco in the 50s.

During that period, it seems the Beatnik movement thrived.
The Beat philosophy was generally anti materialistic and stressed the importance of bettering one’s inner self over and above material possessions.
However, most customers who frequent this place are more yuppies than hippies.

Freshness' tofu burger
With so many burger joints around in Hong Kong, I’m always on the quest for the best veggie burger in town.
I used to give Freshness Burger a miss because the burger chain wasn’t veggie-friendly before but for a limited period, it’s been promoting its Tofu Burger.
When I said tofu, you really do get a chunky piece, which has a relatively chewy texture compared to the ones that disintegrates easily commonly used in soup.
I was attracted to the avocado cubes that featured in its promotional ad but was a little disappointed when it didn’t arrive like the ad would promise but a stingy mushy portion on top of the tofu.
Although I have no idea what sauce was being used, they were a bit more generous with the serving and the burger did taste good overall.
criss cross fries
I opted for its criss cross fries for sides instead of the usual chips and because I’m a potato lover, I enjoyed every bite of it!
Top off the meal with a Yucha soda too.
