Hong Kong Day 4 and 6

On Day 4 we went to visit Toby's deceased relatives at a crematorium and honour them with incense. It's a beautiful place on top of a hill in Sheung Wan. We couldn't take photos inside of course, but here a couple from downstairs.




Then it was off to yum chan at a omni place with Toby's family on his father side. It was nice to meet his cousins and uncles/aunts but there was limited food options for me. I focused on trying all the different types of green tea. I had some choy sum and plain rice and added my own soy sauce. I also had some red bean soup.

Then we met Toby's uncle at a dessert place and I had some doufuhua  which is a traditional chinese dessert with silken tofu on the bottom, sweet syrup on top. You can choose different flavours, I got a mango one with mango puree and mango chunks. It was so sweet and filling after my small yum cha lunch. Many chinese desserts are thankfully naturally vegan and gluten free!


Toby got durian with black sticky rice which he loved and I hated because I hate durian.

For dinner we went to Liza Veggies. Toby used to frequent the owners old restuarant when he lived in Hong Kong. They have english menus and this was perhaps my fave meal out. I had some plain rice which contained red rice and millet.


Then some gai lan. I love Chinese greens and they can often be made g/f if asked with no soy sauce.

And finally some salt and pepper tofu. This was super exciting since I had been missing out on many tofu dishes in hong kong because the sauces tend to contain wheat. It was just simple and tasty fried tofu with salt and plenty of white pepper.

However, g/f folks be careful! We returned on our last meal and I had some fried rice. Toby checked all of the ingredients with the wait staff and had 2 small bowls before I realised that there was barley in the rice. Yes unfortunately got glutened for last meal. In their defence he didn't ask for no barley, only no soy sauce and no one seems to be aware or understand gluten free or coeliac disease in Hong Kong.

After returning from Macau (will get to that next) we caugh up with some friends for dinner at Branto, an indian vegetarian place.  We shared some dhal.

Some aloo palak or spinach potato curry for those of you not familar with Indian menus. Also a curried potato dish but I can't remember the name. The nameless potato curry was one my faves but it did come with bread.

Then we had some papadums with salad on top. I've never had a dish like this in an indian restaurant before it was such a simple idea but kept my mouth feeling slightly cooler.


We also ordered channa masala or (chickea curry) and two types of biryani rice, the only difference we could taste or notice was that one had cashews in it.

Basically we ordered every single dairy free curry (with the exception of spinach-pea curry). The food was delicious but so so so spicy. Spicer than I've ever had in Melbourne. Toby was sweating like crazy and my nose was running throughout the meal. If you want a mild dish, I would recommend the plain potato one.  Otherwise you have been warned!

Afterwards we met up with friends for dessert which also helped cool our burning mouths. I had mango doufuhua again. This was my fave of the two, it has a better mango to tofu ratio and was slightly tangy as well as sweet.

Hong Kong Days 2-3

Ok so maybe I lied about posting every couple of days but I really underestimated how busy we would be, seeing Toby's family, friends, shopping, among other things. My friend Ari actually summarised HK perfectly with his recent facebook status: "When you're bored with Hong Kong, you're bored with life". Ok so maybe its originally a famous quote referring to London, but think it applies perfectly well.

Day 2 we went to Soland, a vegan restaurant down this alley and up the stairs. There is a focus on healthy vegan food with a sign inside saying no mock meat, no msg etc.


They have a set menu which changes daily and they said there was no issue doing gluten free we had beetroot soup which was delicious with a slightly earthy flavour.

Then veggies, pumpkin, sweet potato, greens, rice with a slightly creamy cauliflower sauce. They bought out a plate with barley on it too first but then we asked gave me a new plate without that side. It was so healthy but a little bland.

My favourite part however was this mango banana soft serve parfait with dragonfruit. I could have easily eaten a massive big bowl.
 Soland
3/F, 6 Gilman's Bazaar, Central District, Hong Kong

For dinner, I got another masala dosa from a Curry in a Hurry this time the time square branch in causeway bay because I was starving.

Day 2 we met up with Toby's friend Kitty for lunch at Life again. They have a slightly different lunch menu. Toby and I shared the tofu skewers with cashew sauce. The tofu was super spongy and the sauce was addictive.

The burger consists of smoked tofu, mostly rice based patty with sweet potatoes and salad on the side. It was awesome.



We also got a sweet potato stew which was served with tofu, broccoli and quinoa. The stew was made with g/f beer which had quite a strong beer flavour.


Also did I mention that my low sugar thing was put on hold while on holiday? I had the gf vegan chocolate mousse cake which is made from tofu, it was rich and could have used a but more berry sauce to break up the flavour. But I still managed to finish it all with a little help from Toby.


After lunch we went to  Dr Sun Yat-Sen Museum. It was interesting learning about how his efforts in setting up republic of china during the Qing era. Besides it only cost $10 HK dollars (roughly $1.2 Au dollars).



For dinner we went to Kung Tak Lam. Toby ordered some greens without soy sauce and fried rice without soy sauce, mock meat etc. I was thankful Toby could explain my requirements in Cantonese because even in Cantonese there was a bit of confusion with the waitress saying that soy sauce doesn't contain wheat but she eventually got it.

The fried rice was delicious thanks to pine nuts and seaweed. I did add a bit of my own soy sauce but that's because I'm addicted to salt. Toby had a gluteny mock eel dish, which frankly sounded gross to me so I didn't mind missing out but he liked it.

This pack of mini soy sauce packets was a life saver throughout the trip. I got it from an allergy store in Causeway Bay called Little Giant. They had actually just expired but I didn't mind.

Hong Kong: home of mock meat & vegan yum cha

It's kind of a cruel twist of fate that I am blogging about the wonderful gluteny world of Chinese vegetarian food in Hong Kong now that I won't be able to eat any of it. But Toby and I met in Hong Kong and it's also the place where he spent most of his life, so of course I will always have a soft spot for the place, and the food is just another reason to love the place well for vegetarians who can eat gluten. We had vegetarian yum cha almost every day that we were there! Toby speaks Cantonese though and always did the ordering so I'm not entirely sure how hard it would be without him to ensure that everything is vegan. (Toby also said he is not too sure if the staff are 100% sure if the mock meat contains whey or egg white) It was a long time ago that I lived there but I managed ok, although I did resort to using the translations in that vegan passport a few times.

For a relatively small city, there are plenty of vegetarian restaurants and we ate at lots of different places but have decided to blog about our favourites.

When Toby and I used to live in Hong Kong, we used to a frequent this place called 佛有緣素菜館 (Fat Yau Yuen) which I referred to as the 23 place because that is how much their meal deal was, back in 2003, in HK dollars (roughly $3.30). Toby used to eat there twice every day and so when we returned to their new restaurant, the staff chatted with him excitedly.

It's a super cheap place and the new location (Level2, 10-12 Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai) doesn't even have a sign. It's situated next door to a butcher, and there are no English menus. However, there is a picture menu so you can point at the pictures to order, or possibly get toby to write out some instructions for you.

To give you an idea of how much we loved it, we went 3 times in the one week we were there.

My favourite dish hands down was the "pork" or as toby translates is actually called "roast suckling pig", it consisted of crispy gluten with an amazing BBQ type sauce


I couldn't resist eating my all time fav chinese dish radish cake or turnip cake again and again. At most meals we shared a plate of some sort of asian greens such as gai lan or chinese broccoli. I like to think that it helped to balance all of that deep fried goodness:


Tofu with black bean capsicum sauce over thick rice noodles was absolutely delicious:

I can't even remember what this dish was but I remember it being tangy and kind of sweet and sour:

Roast "duck" with fermented tofu sauce.

Shredded "duck" with rice noodles:


Another place that we went to is Kung Tak Lam. They have branches in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui (where you can see the "million dollar harbour view" perfectly). It's kind of the opposite of the $23 place, it's an upmarket vegetarian restaurant. We went there twice with Toby's family. The first time we went to the branch in Causeway Bay (where I once lived), and we had:

Fried rice with seaweed and pine nuts, it was a dish that we used to have all the time, I was really looking forward to it, and it was ok but not quite as great as the hype that Toby and I build up in our heads.

soya bean fillet with pepper sauce, one of my faves.

Deep Fried "Fish" or yam, I can never really get into mock fish but everyone else seemed to enjoy this.

Ma Po Tofu, with just the right kick of chilli

For dessert we shared red bean pancakes, otherwise known as deep fried deliciousness. On the right crystal buns with contained chinese custard but weren't vegan.


The second time we went we had:
Shanghainese cold noodles with various sauces, we actually had this both times. I loved this dish and the idea of being able to choose how much and what you wanted to go with your noodles. The options included: chilli sauce, chilli oil, sweet sauce, soya sauce, vinegar, sesame sauce, crushed cashews, pickled beetroot, and capsicum. I always added all of the possibilities except for the chilli options but kept playing with the variations.

Shanghai fried noodles with tofu and vegies.

We had spring rolls and pan fried dumplings. Toby's dad thankfully shares my love of unhealthy deep fried dishes. These were my fav spring rolls in HK.

We also had this pretty looking dessert called Eight Treasures rice which consisted of sticky rice, red rice, red bean paste, lotus seeds, lotus and syrup with some sort of edible flowers. It was like nothing I have had before, so yummy.

We went to this place in causeway bay called Harmony Village (shop 1, 7-11 Irving st, Causeway Bay) with Toby's sister. It's a small cafe that appeared to be constantly busy.

Toby swears that these were fried massive vegie dumplings but I remembered them being more like curry puffs. That's what happens you when you wait too long to blog, but whatever they were they were deep fried and yummy.

Fried rice with yam

Deep Fried "chicken" with Chinese greens


Roasted "Duck" with pineapple and preserved ginger which tasted similar to a sweet and sour sauce. This was our favourite dish there.

After we went to got dessert in a small desert place. I got red bean soup with walnuts and toby got red bean soup, I love chinese desserts especially since lots of them are accidentally vegan and I do have a red bean obsession.

Our all time favourite yum cha place is a place called Three Virtues Vegetarian Restaurant﹕1/F, 395 King's Rd , North Point, we went there 3 times. The last time though we had all of my favourites like turnip cake, spring rolls, BBQ "pork" buns, coriander "prawn" dumplings and lots more. I felt like a kid in a candy store.



Toby introduced me to this dish for the first time and i was kicking myself that I hadn't tried it before, it was AMAZING! Stir-fried rice rolls with soy sauce or chung fan. The rice rolls were soft and super tasty and it comes with amazing peanut sauce and sweet sauce.


I tried turnip cake or law Bok Gow at almost every restaurant we went to but this restaurant certainly had the best that I have ever had, it was just oily enough, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and was full of flavour.

Dim Sum order form, this might be a little difficult if you don't read Chinese.

Hong Kong is a crazy crowded place and it's a little too easy to get caught up in the world of non stop shopping and overwhelming crowds. I think the key to surviving it it going to fruit based places like Hui Lau Shan (They are called Creations in US):


Coco de Mer desert with fruits and Nata de Coco

mango sago with fresh mango juice and more fruit

There are generally have both english and chinese menus plus pictures.

The prettiest place that we visited and ate at was Nan Lian Garden (The extention of Chi Lin nunnery, 60 Fung Tak Rd, Diamond Hill.) The vegetarian restuarant Long Man Lau ( sits under a waterfall). There is a strict no photos rule but you can see the photos in the 32 reader reviews on Openrice.com. There is a minimum charge of HKD 85 per head (about AU$12) and you must book in advance. This is Toby's favourite and the most vegan-safe place. Some pics from the nunnery:


HK also have lots of vegan shoes, I got a custom made pair of non leather brogue shoes made from this shop:
Toby's mum made us desert (soup) almost every day. My favourite is the mixed bean sweet soup, we generally had it for breakfast. Thanks again Angela! Steph, what would you call it?


(Kudos to Toby who looked up English name/address/reviews of restauranst and correct names of obscure ingredients like Coco de Mar.)
