A Restaurant That Changes Your View on Vegetarian Food

I rarely go to Sai Wan Ho for food because it's a bit far for me. This time, I had some errands to run in the area and noticed a stylish restaurant with white exterior walls near a well-known private housing estate. I looked it up on OpenRice and found out it was a vegetarian restaurant. I don't usually eat vegetarian food, but the promotional photos at the entrance were quite appealing and didn't look like typical vegetarian dishes. So, I decided to give it a try. The interior was quite comfortable, and we were seated by a wall with large flower murals. We ordered the vegetarian minced beef and egg clay pot rice, VMC homemade meat sauce spaghetti, crispy avocado with vegan avocado sauce, Belgian chocolate cheesecake for dessert, and iced Americano with orange and black sesame milk for drinks. First, the crispy avocado was served. I usually eat avocado raw and had never tried it fried before. The batter was thin and sprinkled with a bit of what seemed like black pepper. It was quite tasty, especially when dipped in the avocado sauce. The combination of avocado and avocado sauce was unique, allowing us to try two different avocado preparations at once. Next came the VMC homemade meat sauce spaghetti. The sauce was impressive, lacking the greasiness often found in meat sauces. The spaghetti was cooked to the right texture and served hot. I highly recommend it. The vegetarian minced beef and egg clay pot rice was very authentic. When I opened the lid, the aroma was enticing. The vegetarian beef was quite realistic, and the egg yolk oozed out when poked. Drizzled with soy sauce, the sizzling sound was delightful, and the taste was excellent. For dessert, the chocolate cheesecake was rich and creamy, with a well-made crust and just the right portion size. As for the drinks, the iced Americano with orange was unique, with a gradient appearance that was quite attractive. The orange balanced out the bitterness of the coffee. I upgraded the black sesame milk to oat milk for an extra charge. It had latte art and wasn't overly sweet. Overall, the price and service were reasonable, and it's worth supporting. @Vegmind Address: G/F, GB18-20, Soho East Phase B, 45 Tai Hong Street, Lei King Wan
