Gaia Veggie Shop (Tsuen Wan) — Restaurant in Tsuen Wan District

A while ago I went with a friend to Hong Kong. One day we met one of his old friends at the “Gaia Veggie Shop”, vegetarian restaurant at the Miramall (= Miramar Shopping Centre) in Tsim Sha Tsui. Despite it is a vegetarian restaurant, the menu read like a common restaurant with a lot of meat items. It was unbelievable what one can prepare as vegetarian dishes.

For veggies/vegans this place serves up decent food and an amazing price and have plenty of high protein options. A solid hit! 3-stars because the decor is a touch sterile, very bright and service could do with understanding the...
