• Finally a place to call HOME!

As a vegan living in Hong Kong, I have always wondered why a world class city like this one lacks a world class vegan restaurant. I travel a lot for my work & the most vegan friendly places include New York, Ubud (Bali), Los Angeles, Vancouver and I crave the food in those places every time I come Home to Hong Kong. For those who know these cities/ places, HOME by CGM is better than Cafe Gratitude, Candle 79, Elephant (Ubud), Plant Food & Wine (LA) & others... After doing some research, I found that HOME is run by a French/ American restauranteur (the original co-founder of Mana) & a classically trained French Chef who worked for 3 star Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse at Plaza Athenee in Paris. This explains the great food! I have been to HOME every day for the past week it's been open & my absolute favorites are: Silky Sifaka - the kelp soup noodles (a healthy version of Pho) with garden vegetables (kale!) Red Panda - an open toast on organic sourdough bread with vegan cheese that is to die for! Manta Ray - the best feel good salad with spinach, beetroot & all the veggies that you can go home with feeling nurtured and nourished. Siberian Tiger - a Healthy macrobiotic bowl that beats any macrobiotic bowl I've had overseas and finally the Polar Bear - the best veggie burger I've ever laid my lips on with a beetroot & mushroom patti that doesn't shy from any real (meat burger) from the old days when I used to still consume meat. The best juices in my opinion are Scarlette, Coral & Jade depending on whether I feel like a green juice or a beetroot one/ fruity one. The desserts are a marriage between vegan goodness & French artisan pastry (beauty & substance combined) I can't speak more highly about this place which is also eco-friendly, zero-waste & an animals activist (all their dishes are named after endangered or extinct species). Like I said, finally a place to call HOME!
