Friends of Years 素年 — Restaurant in Tsuen Wan District

A pinky and chic vegan restaurant in a very local neighbourhood full of meaty greasy seafood restaurants is honestly an interesting contrast.

I ordered the impossible burger, and we have a few snacks to share. The impossible burger is almost too safe of a choice, because there isn’t much to go wrong here, but there also isn’t much going strong here.

What impressed us is the numbing and spicy watermelon, who would have thought these two would goes together? I thought it would prepare the watermelon in a special way, but it doesn’t really make the effort to hide that it is just a piece of watermelon, which made the dish stand out to me.

The other snacks we had was the hummus, which unfortunately was just too salty. And it was just a paste with some grilled vegetables which made it a little bit hard to share, and I am not sure if the vegetable is suppose to go with the hummus or not because they dont.

And then the corn is just very much plain corn. Nothing going much there either.

My friend gave me a try of the salmon bowl. Not a big fan of savoury fruit salad, but I have to say it does balance it well with all the condiments and add on with a bit of a crunch to make it more interesting and more things going on in the mouth.

This cafe-restaurant combo was comfy enough to stay for a while, and offers enough to make you sit down, but not enough to make me want to spend an entire afternoon or entire night here.

But the menu does change regularly so, I dont know… visit again? Im not...

The interior environment: was comfortable, bright and clean feel to the place.

The service: The waiters were very polite and considerate. They made regular refills of water for us.

The food: all vegan dishes. I found the pizza too salty and the spinach spaghetti too salty also. The veggies in the Buddah bowl were fresh and went well with the vinegarette on the side (which was really great, cause I get to choose how much to put in). The mushroom curry spaghetti was great also.

Desserts: Tofu "cheese" cake quite good. Not too sweet but has a creamy and full bodied texture similar to cheesecake. They also offered to write "Happy birthday onto the plating dish serving the slice of cake for my friend .

Overall comment: Enjoyed my time there. I would prefer if they had more whole food plant based dishes, less of the processed plant based...

I had the terrible experience at this place. I took a cab from a far distance and reached the restaurant exactly at 9pm. They refused to entertain me saying restaurant is closed but Google and the Sign outside says operation hours will 10PM. So this lady said our last order is 9PM, which restaurant takes last order 1 hour before closing time. They should be accommodating to tourists especially, I am vegetarian and didn't know...
