This medium-sized restaurant is on the 1st floor and mainly employs hearing-impaired staff and also some retirees. The extensive menu is in both Chinese and English and there are pictures as well so you know what you are ordering! There was a member of staff on hand who could speak English in case of any difficulties. There was so much to choose from and all the dishes we ordered were very tasty. The ma-po tofu could be chosen with your desired degree of spiciness, the fruity fried rice was good and the steamed dumplings were filled with veggie. The tofu balls were a little bland on the inside but the crispy salt and pepper breadcrumb exterior made up for it. Including tea, the total cost was $290 for 4 dishes, very reasonable for Hong Kong. Their mantra is less salt, sugar and oil, no MSG or processed vegetables. We went on a Saturday evening at 8.30 pm and the restaurant was half full, though the kitchen closes at 9pm. They thrown in a free dessert as well. It's taken me ages to come to Happy Veggies, will definitely be back again.
