2020兩間新素食餐廳：會一去再去的好推介
2020年快過了一半，今年因為疫情影響，出門的次數也大大減少，更不用說外出用膳了。所以現在才寫第一篇有關素食餐廳介紹的文章。
這次介紹的兩家餐廳，都是新開幕的，一家純素，一家素食；兩間分別我也到訪過兩次，也仍覺得會再回去 “encore” 吃的。今天起，讓肚子充滿純素又健康的好食物吧。
This year, because of the impact of the epidemic, we are now mostly staying at home. So, because of that, I’ve been writing much more about plant-based recipes but fewer restaurants reviews.
However, there are still two plant-based restaurants I would love to share with you guys. They are both newly open in 2020, one plant-based/ vegan and one vegetarian - I have visited them more than once, and pretty sure I will go back again for their delicious and healthy food.
西貢 Fusion 純素 Tapas Bar
Plant-based Vegan Fusion Tapas Bar in Sai Kung
2084
5 Sha Tsui Path, Sai Kung
西貢 沙咀街 5號 地舖
Tapas在西班牙很有名，意思是下酒小菜，小小一碟，風味無窮。去年在巴塞隆拿，去過幾家道地的Tapas Bar，更是難忘的好滋味。
在剛剛的二月，西貢市中心開了一家純素Tapas餐廳叫2084，餐牌上有Tapas小菜，咖哩，漢堡熱狗等等。我一共去過兩次，一次午餐一次晚餐，很喜歡它們各種具亞洲風味的Fusion Food。以下是幾道我很喜歡的菜式：
Tapas, a Spanish word means small dishes to be paired with wine, is famous now all over the world. Last year in Barcelona, those visits to authentic Tapas Bars are still an unforgettable experience.
In February 2020, a vegan Tapas restaurant called 2084 was opened in Saigon, Hong Kong. The menu includes ranges of Tapas, curry, hamburger, hot dogs and so on. I have been there twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. I really like their fusion food with an Asian flavour twist. Here are a few dishes that I really like:
天貝沙嗲沙律 Tempeh Satay Salad
用了很大分量的天貝（印尼食品，發酵黃豆製品，很高蛋白質），配上醃過蘿白、木瓜等，酸酸甜甜，很開胃。
A large portion of tempeh (Indonesian food made of fermented soybean, very high protein) is used, served with pickled dill and papaya, provides a rich sweet and sour taste.
饃饃 Momos
Momos在尼泊爾的意思是餃子。我是餃子控，也很喜歡加了芫荽和香料的口味，點了大蒜醬油味道更突出。
These Nepal’s dumplings are simply delicious with coriander and garlic soy sauce!
魚柳漢堡 Okonimi Fish Burger
素魚柳、純素芝士、 椰菜沙拉、純素蛋黃醬⋯⋯ 包的口感也很充實，是久違了的魚柳包口味！
Fishless fillets, vegan cheese and coleslaw with mayo served with two fluffy and filling buns - so good!
聽說有時候更有Daily Special的無蛋奶蛋糕，例如菠蘿蛋糕和紅羅白蛋糕，也提供燕麥奶咖啡，還不是純素食者的天堂嗎？除此之外，我也推薦邀請非素食的朋友一起去，相信大家都會驚訝「無肉食」也能如此豐富呢！
And I heard that they will occasionally serve dairy-free and plant-only cakes, such as the pineapple-upside cake and carrot cake. They also serve oat milk coffee. Simply a plant-based heaven for all the vegans and non-vegans!

荃灣 有機 素食 高質食堂
Organic Vegetarian Restaurant in Tsuen Wan
如庫豐生有機食堂 YuFu Abundance
Room 501, Block B, Po Yip Building, 62-70 Texaco Road, Tsuen Wan
荃灣 寶業大廈 B座 501室
這間位於工廈之中的素食食堂，進門口後才發現是一塊淨土。入面分為食堂和食品商店部，空間感很大，室內也有植物和迷你瀑布，感覺很舒服。餐點分為素食與純素(清楚寫明)，大部分也是中式或亞洲菜式，再加一部份西式餐點；而我比較喜歡他們的中菜。
他們的食物，即叫即做、熱辣辣的送上，兩次光顧也有叫的是冬蔭功生菜包。豆皮的口感超好，酸酸辣辣的口味，包在爽脆新鮮的生菜中，叫人一口接一口的停不了在吃。第二次再點的時候，老闆(也是主廚)送上一碟香菜拌著吃，加上特別的咸香滋味。
This vegetarian restaurant is located in an industrial building, an oasis after entering the door. The place is divided into the restaurant and a food store. The space is very large, there are also plants and a mini waterfall in the room, makes a relax and comfy atmosphere. They serve vegetarian and vegan dishes(clearly stated on the menu), most of them are Chinese or Asian dishes with a few Western dishes.
Their food is fresh and made-to-order. Tomyam Lettuce Wrap is the no.1 dish that I truly enjoy. The spicy and sour tofu skin is being wrapped in crisp and fresh lettuce, the texture and flavours are so fulfilling. At my second visit, the boss (also the chef) even gave us a plate of parsley to eat with the wrap - and we LOVE it!

另一道，我覺得好吃得驚為天人的，是欖菜叉燒炒飯。
從小至大也喜歡吃炒飯，但飯要抄得好，油量必須控製好，不多不少才可以做到粒粒分明。轉為純素後，坊間大部分會以雞蛋作為食材的炒飯也不能吃。而這個欖菜炒飯的雜菜切的小小一粒，加上麵筋製的香口素叉燒，跟米飯比例剛剛好，欖菜亦增添不少鮮味。最後以香港品牌Happy Cow的純素雪糕作甜品，豐盛的一餐叫人非常滿足。
當大的食材及糧油雜貨大部分也在食品商店可以買到，價錢也很公道；如果你喜歡健康天然的食材，相信你會樂而忘反呢！
Another personal favourite was the fried rice with olives pickles and char-siu (Chinese barbecued pork). Fried rice, a famous dish in the Asian food scene, is a “tricky” dish to make - the amount of oil must be well-controlled for the perfect texture of rice. Diced vegetables, gluten-made char-siu, and olives pickles - which are just in the right ratio with the amount of rice. I especially love how the olives pickles add a salty aroma to the whole dishes. And we end our lunch with the vegan ice cream from a local Hong Kong brand Happy Cow as dessert.
Most of the ingredients used in the dishes are available to purchase in the food store at a fair price. If you are a fan of healthy and natural ingredient, don’t forget to do some groceries shopping before you leave!

香港實在許多有心人推廣素食。2020年，素食在香港不再「新潮」，而是區區都找得到。有心去準備的食物，吃下去健康之外，也有滿滿的正能量。
高質「素」，十八區也找得到。
Plant-based food is now available in nearly everywhere in Hong Kong in 2020. Healthy and hearty vegetarian/ vegan food always provide us with endless positive energy - it’s time to fill our tummy with fresh, healthy and nutritious plants!
