Vegan Food at Green Common (The Forest)

Posted on January 9, 2019 by stenoodie

Green Common (The Forest) located at Mong Kok, Nelson St, 17號The Forest 1樓110號舖 in Hong Kong

January 8, 2019:

My first vegan restaurant in Hong Kong on this trip!! I love inventive vegan/vegetarian restaurants where I can increase my intake of veggie consumption while at the same time trying new meatless recipes.

I found Green Common as a recommended vegan restaurant in an online article. Green Common has several outposts in Hong Kong and this one that I went to was located inside an “upper street” mall called The Forest in Mong Kok (basically, you go up a flight of stairs/escalators and arrive at an indoor mall with shops. It had a hipstery vibe from even walking into the mall.

Congee and Rice Rolls at 新海粥品

Posted on January 9, 2019 by stenoodie

January 7, 2019:

After the relatively small meal at Genki Sushi, we followed up with some simple congee and greens at 新海粥品, which was nearby our place. Another congee place, Master Congee, ranks better in terms of reviews and ratings but I had dined at Master Congee before and wanted to try another place.

Conveyor belt sushi!!! 😀 I’ve been wanting to try this out! 😀

After my facial at the Shatin Lucky Plaza, I remember passing by this conveyor belt sushi restaurant and decided to come in for dinner. I didn’t realize it was Genki Sushi until we actually stepped in (oops, also forgot to take a picture of the storefront). Genki Sushi (元氣壽司) is a Japanese-based chain. I had Continue reading →

January 7, 2018:

The last time I got a facial in Hong Kong was probably 5 years ago. 🤔 This time, with lots of unsightly breakouts, I decided to see what was in the area and try a place to try to calm down my acne.

Ying Kee Restaurant 英記茶餐廳 in Mong Kok

Posted on January 7, 2019 by stenoodie

Ying Kee Restaurant 英記茶餐廳 (32 Ki Lung St, Mong Kok).

January 7, 2019:

It was our first full day in HK and of course I wanted to have a traditional Hong Kong style breakfast at a cha chaang teng. 😀

Jet lag held us captive and I was fully awake at 4 a.m. Thus, why not start the day early and fight against my circadian rhythm? I looked up breakfast spots which were open at this ungodly hour and Ying Kee Restaurant popped up which was a 13-minute walk from our place and which served the traditional HK breakfast fare.

魚鱻魚湯專門店

Posted on January 6, 2019 by stenoodie

January 6, 2019:

After the bowl of dan dan noodles, we headed straight for a fish soup noodles place called 魚鱻魚湯專門店 we had seen while exploring what was offered in the area. This type of cuisine is my mom’s territory. While I love the fish soup itself, my mom loves the stringy rice noodles.

Shanghainese Food at 三和滋味館

January 6, 2019:

三和滋味館.

First meal in Hong Kong on this trip! 😀 I was feeling for soupy noodles but didn’t want wonton or cross bridge or thick noodles. And so after we walked around the block looking at the restaurant choices, we stopped in here for a bowl of dan dan noodles with fried pork chops (HK $58). This restaurant served Shanghainese food.

My Year in Review: 2018

Posted on December 31, 2018 by stenoodie

My 2018

This year — what can I say? 2018 was the year that the most ever happened to me, in terms of positive amazingness/major life milestones and health-wise.

First of all, before I get into the bulk of what happened this year, I like to gloat about the trips that I had the privilege to take this year. This year, in February, I got to travel to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories on a five-day trip with my extended family members to go dog sledding, “ice fishing”, and view the Aurora Borealis. This was an amazing bucket-list travel spot and Continue reading →

The Beyond Meat Burger at A&W

Posted on December 30, 2018 by stenoodie

A&W located in Hillcrest Mall at 9350 Yonge St in Richmond Hill

December 21, 2018: Ever since hearing about the Beyond Meat Burger being offered at A&W, I had wanted to try it. (Technically, I had already tried this pure vegan pea-protein-beet patty before when I tried the Power Burger from Aroma Espresso Bar since they’re made with the one and same patty, but the toppings and assembly of the burger would be different.)
