Think shark’s fin, sea cucumber and abalone but veggie style.
How will it look and taste like?

shepardess pie
I finally visit Bookworm Cafe while chilling at Lamma Island over the Easter break.
As a vegetarian, I don’t usually get to eat Shepard’s pie so I jumped at the opportunity to try the shepardess pie from Bookworm.
Instead of minced meat, the bottom layer is made of lentils and I like that it complements with the otherwise bland potato mash on top.

Mala Noodles
Loving Heart is your go to restaurant if you’re looking for Sichuan cusines located at The Metropolis Mall in Hung Hom.
As I’m a big fan of spicy food, I love to order Mala noodles whenever I’m there. You can choose between the Shanghai (thicker like udon) or vermicelli noodles.

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.
