Hot on the heels of Beyond Meat (or did it beat them to the market?) comes the Impossible Burger, which TBDV had the chance to sample a few weeks ago in Hong Kong, only the 2nd market globally to have these plant based burgers available. Let’s get straight to it – TBDV preferred this to the Beyond Burger. The taste...
On a recommendation, headed over to Jack’s Wife Freda for breakfast on our first day in New York. A very cute little restaurant, with a couple of tables outside, friendly staff, and basically a very welcoming atmosphere. All in all, a most enjoyable meal and experience. Would definitely go back. TBDV Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺

A rather special occasion prompted a search for a new, interesting and vegetarian friendly (obviously – duh!) restaurant in Hong Kong. On a recommendation from more than one person, TBDV booked a table at Beet. Beet’s a relatively new spot that has not, as yet, had an official opening – they’re still at the soft opening stage. I guess this means...
Happy Friday! So today was TBDV’s first time tucking into a Beyond Burger by Beyond Meat : For those not familiar with it, Beyond Meat is a project that, 7 years in the making, aims to provide a plant based protein as at least a partial replacement for animal based protein. In doing so, the thinking is that it will place less...
A mid-week lunch at Yum Cha – Central – a lunch from which TBDV walked away extremely satisfied. Dim Sum style ordering, prompt service, tasty food, and no MSG – sounds good. There are a couple of caveats at the end of the post. On to the meal: So, a good meal all-in-all – tasty, prompt, fresh. One thing that...
An unplanned, mid-week visit over to Alvy’s HK in Kennedy town – a relatively new addition to the restaurant scene in Hong Kong. Let’s just get this out of the way now – you need to go. Now. Craft Beer, cocktails and pizza – what else does one need? Seriously. Started the evening off right with a pint of Hereos...
Mid-week late lunch at Ottolenghi Belgravia, and we were lucky enough to get a couple of seats at the table in the back of the shop – I guess takeaways is what they focus on. Just gonna cut to the chase here – lunch was amazing. If you get the chance, take it. Started with a Potato and Leek soup,...
So we bought our tickets for Taste Hong Kong online early to save a bit of $$, and headed down there on Saturday afternoon. For a food festival, I can think of no finer setting: On the beer side, we had a choice of mainly macro beers, with Heroes Beer being the notable exception, even if they did only have...
Visited The Farmacy mid-week for an early lunch, so no need to make a reservation. Lovely setting and decor, attentive wait staff, and an interesting looking menu had TBDV looking forward to the meal! We ordered: An order of sweet potato fries and an Asian Salad – which was supposed to be a mixed leaf salad with broccoli, cucumber, mushrooms...
