Yue Tak Vegetarian

very small shop in a local neighbourhood with lots of garages. rice, soup and two dishes cost $39. menu is written in chinese on a whiteboard. there were only four choices when i went during lunchtime on saturday - i chose "lor horn chai" (medley of black fungus, black mushrooms and beancurd) and pumpkin with chayote. soup and dishes were simple, tasty and filling.

menu for the month (chinese only) is available as a print-out, and can also be found on their facebook page. those who don't speak/read chinese can get translation assistance beforehand.

3.5 stars.

I lunched here yesterday. It's a bit like Fook Luk Sau in Central HK for anyone who has been there. There's a menu of 6 or 7 items. I had a written message to show about 'no egg products, no milk products, no honey'. I was directed at what to choose and what to avoid. I had a very nice dish with a mix of different things in. I was also given a lovely bowl of soup. I was offered rice which I declined. 35 hkd seemed decent value.

The gentlement serving didn't speak much English. With my pretty abysmal Cantonese this could potentially have been tricky. My written message helped as did what so often seems to happen in HK, another customer with better linguistic skills than me chipped in to help. I like it when people are nice and helpful like this, it adds to the all round good vibe of a place. This place is well worth eating in if you are nearby.
