Good food

Lots of interesting options, they'd clearly put a lot of thought into the menu. The staff were all very friendly as well

Brilliant!

The pea tea is a must-try! If you leave it long enough you can see the acidity from the lemon slice slowly diffuse through the drink, turning it’s usual blue colour purple then pink. It’s taste isn’t very strong, just smooth and ever so slightly sweet, so the visuals are the main thing going for it.

They have a very interesting menu, I mean that as a neutral statement. It is updated every month and a half and is different on weekends and weekdays. They also have an interesting blend of options.
I had the salty fish bagel with seaweed, cheese and bell peppers. The salty fish was omnipork and eggplant that seemed to have been marinated and possibly pan fried together. I usually hate eggplant, I hate it’s taste and it’s texture too, however I took a chance on this and it was VERY good. Would recommend.
I found the main’s portion sizes are quite sensible.
The starters we ordered (soup, bruschetta, sourdough) were all relatively small so won’t spoil your appetite for the rest of the meal, but if you order the salad as a starter you might need someone to share it with because it has a lot of volume. It also has a lot of protein though, containing lentils tofu kidney beans.

Superb Korean fusion cuisine

I've been twice in one week and it's already one of my favourite places to eat. The menu is still being revised, but so far the dishes I've tried have been amazing. Note that they have different menus at lunch and dinner, with dinner being much more expensive. Half the menu is Korean-inspired, with the other half Western/Asian/fusion. Serving sizes are very generous. They also sell bagels in a variety of mostly Asian flavours, to eat in or take away, with vegan cream cheese. The setting is open, light and modern, and while it's self-service the wait staff are very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

You’ll find me here every weekend. Bet.

The fishy eggplant bagel is a must-have. Point blank. Chewy crispy seaweed bagel from the infamous Little Field bakery paired with the most flavourful eggplants, omnipork, cheeze, nori shreds....can’t even begin to describe how bomb of a combo it is.

The red tempeh curry with Konjac noodles was also really well done. The tempeh itself is super chewy and nutty, just like the ones I had in Bali! The sheer variety of veggies SMOTHERED in the best curry stew makes such a hearty dish! Love how they paired it with Konjac noodles too...otherwise, it would’ve given us food coma.

Congrats on this incredible soft launch. Can’t wait to see the menu expand — will definitely prove to be one of HK’s more interesting and creative vegan spots.
