Great Calendar Of Events With Vegan Menus Available

Africa Center has an ongoing schedule of both fusion food evenings (where African food is mixed with another particular country, changing every month) and general African food and music evenings (mostly on Saturdays). We attended the music evening, but are hoping to check out some of the themed evenings in the future.

The room in the centre is set up with an open kitchen and long tables/chairs nearby. Everyone who has bought a ticket sits together and you get a chance to talk while your set meals are being prepared. The meal comes in both meat and vegan options and, the evening we attended, the takeup was about 50/50 for each. During the waiting, the co-ordinators of the centre were attentive and made sure to come around and discuss what the centre was all about and get to know you as a newcomer.

The food itself was no-frills but very genuine. As is often the case, the non-Vegan set did look as if it had slightly more thought put into it. The vegan set itself, was very heavy on tofu that hadn't been flavoured particularly well. However, all the components that were also in the meat set, that were shared between the two, were lovely. The, I'm guessing they were stewed, vegetables were delicious, as was the bread.

After the meal, we were invited to attend a drumming session for the last hour, which was incredibly fun and gave another chance to learn about the backgrounds of the attendees.

Overall, a great evening and well-worth attending. Would recommend highly!

Pros: Extremely friendly people and atmosphere, Good chance to meet new people, Food is honest and tasty

Cons: A little bit of a walk from the MTR stations, Limited seating for busy nights

a very special African culture experiences 超特別非洲文化體驗

90% of African dishes are vegan. On that day, a group of us booked a private meal. The private meal can be chosen from the country you like. There are many menu choices, such as Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Morocco, Congo , Rwanda, South Sudan, Barbados, etc. We opted for the Ethiopian menu, and five of the seven courses were vegan.

A friend said that they tried a well-known African restaurant in Chungking Mansions earlier. The reason for the delicious food there is that it has been modified to the taste of Hong Kong people, but it lacks more authentic African elements! Therefore, I highly recommend you to visit the “Hong Kong Africa Center". In addition to tasting the delicious food, let’s experience the vibe of Africa together!

非洲菜式9成都是純素的,當天我們一群人預約了私人料理,私人料理可選擇自己喜歡的國家,超多餐單選擇,如尼日利亞、埃及、加納、南非、肯尼亞、坦桑尼亞、摩洛哥、剛果、盧旺達、南蘇丹、巴巴多斯等。我們則選擇了埃塞俄比亞餐單,七道菜裡,有五道都是純素的。

朋友說他們早前在重慶大廈吃了一家較有名的非洲料理餐廳,好吃的原因是因為已改良成香港人的口胃,卻少了更多真正地道的非洲元素了!所以很推薦大家來一趟「香港非洲中心」,除了品嘗美食,也一起來感受一下非洲的氛圍吧!
