Habibi Cafe, Hong Kong

I gotta confess this is my favorite cafe, okay they do have a restaurant too... but I just love the food here!

Food: Egyptian --Yummy Mediterranean food!!!

Ambience: The place has a nice feel to it. It's literally, a comfortable cafe!

Cost: The cost is decent, especially if you compare it to the Habibi Restaurant. I think for us vegetarians, I'd still say the Habibi Cafe is the place to be --when you look at the menu, you'll feel they.. there's soo much for me to try!

Note: You gotta try some pita bread with the dips *the pita bread is freshly made, so it's really yummy and soft! Then the salads, full of tons of feta :D --try their Halloumi, it's delicious too. *or you could go for the mezze platter* Most of all, do get around to having Koshary --it's a dish, which is a mix of lentils, pasta & rice (I know' it's mostly carbs.. yet still it's totally worth it!)

Gaia Veggie House, Hong Kong

Now if you're looking for some exciting food around Hong Kong, a place to check out would be the Gaia Veggie House. They have quite a few outlets around the city, I'm gonna tell you mostly about the one in Tsim Sha Tsui --coz that's the one I've been to the most.

Food: Pure vegetarian food, Japanese & Chinese varieties.

Ambience: Small, for some it might feel a little congested yet for me, the restaurant feels very cultural. *If you've got a bigger group try their Causeway Bay or Prince Edward shops*.

Cost: The serving portions are on the larger side, so it's a lot of fun and quite reasonable if you're going with a group of people *in that case do make reservations*. If not, you'd still enjoy, the Japanese menu is relatively pricier then then Chinese menu, or perhaps, it feels that way. Else tea time is cost effective too!

Note: It's a really nice place to go with a group of friends, so that you can try out loads of dishes. The menu is huge!

Address: Shop 2005, 2nd Floor, Miramar Shopping Centre, 132 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong (Closest Station: Tsim Sha Tsui) Tel: 852-2376-1186

The Great Kebab Factory, Hong Kong

Food: North Indian, Kebabs, Naan & Curries

Ambience: Spacious, big enough to host parties too, a pretty setting, and overall the ambience makes you feel warm.

Cost: Lunch buffet definitely very reasonable . Though a little pricey for dinners (approx. HK$250/person), especially, if you take the set and are people who like to try a lot of variety or have a good appetite.

Note: I've been to The Great Kebab Factory in Hong Kong a couple of times. I wasn't super excited about the lunch because it's got options, yes, a good selection of vegetarian ones too, though there's not a huge KEBAB selection during lunch time. Now dinner, that's a different story if you got for the 12 course tasting platter.. it's absolutely wonderful --lets talk about the vegetarian set. You get a huge variety of food. The best bit is that they give you a little portion of all the dishes offered in the set and then you can always ask for repetition. You also get Naan, salad, curries, and rice! ] I absolutely love their mushrooms and paneer tikka.. everything literally melts in your mouth. By the time, my husband and I were done with that.. we really didnt have much room for the Naan & curry --yet we did try some.. :). All the food was excellent! Very authentic Indian too! Preferably, make a reservation!
