Restaurant Review - Leisurely Veggie (Updated) - Hong Kong

Multi-national plant-based dishes!

(Updated on 25-1-2019)

Every time we visited the same place for the second time, it obviously means that we had a positive experience and we would like to try other food items. Here, we like how stable and consistent their food are. When we enjoyed our food, it did not seem that we are having no meat at all, since the products are flavouful with natural seasoning.

After our second visit, we could be sure that there would be our third. Comfy place with okay service. Vegetarian food does not mean dull in taste at all!

Impression 

We visited vegetarian places quite often because plant-based dishes usually could showcase how skillful the chef is or how detailed-mind the chef is when choosing the right ingredients to thicken the tastefulness. This place is located in one of the busiest district in Hong Kong with high demand on meals. This time we visited the place on a weekend night for a simple and light dinner.

You could choose the version of Spicy or Not Spicy for this Dandan Noodles (HKD 58). We have chosen the non-spicy one and turned out it was quite spicy haha. I guess they have given us the wrong one. Anyways we were good for both. The taste was absolutely mouthwatering and the texture of the noodles were just perfect. We did not see any difference in terms of the flavor from the non-vegetarian ones. Maybe just the missing minced pork and the soup base? The crunchy peanut was such a great element too.

As an attentive diner (lol), I saw quite some people next to me have ordered this Fried Rice with Veggie & Toona Sinensis (HKD 88) too. So I believe this is one of their signatures. You could choose to exclude the fried egg if you want. We like how they added some seaweed on top of it (also the Dandan Noodles) and it definitely has made the rice with one more layer of flavour. It was not oily nor salty, smell good too!

Meet and Exceed?

To our surprise, the dishes here were so flavorful to the point that we could not help keep asking each other "Is there really no meat here?" lol Of course, there's no meat and we were being stupid. But it did show that the ingredients used were being selected very carefully to satisfy the taste-bud of some huge meat eaters too. If you ever have a friend (or yourself) who still has a mindset thinking that vegetarian meals mean dull in taste, then this is the place to bring him/her to give it a try.
