Where To Eat (Plants) This April: New Vegan Restaurant Openings, Menus & Food News

Welcome to our new bi-monthly column about all things plant-based dining in Hong Kong. The city has become such an exciting destination for hungry herbivores of late, with openings and menu launches happening weekly. Omnis get roundups everywhere else so Green Queen thought it was high time for veggies to get a regular dedicated update of their own. Enjoy!

Sha Tin 18 Year Of The Omnipork Menu

Sha Tin 18 created a celebratory CNY menu based around vegan minced pork alternative Omnipork with dishes like Wok-friend Plant-Based Meat, Glass Noodles, Coriander & Soya Sauce (pictured) and Stir-Fried Plant-Based Meat, Cucumber, Preserved Olive Paste and Plant-based Meat Dumplings with Sichuan Chilli and it has proven so popular that they have made it permanent.
