Super Hidden Veg menu
Last year, found out that Pizza Express were launching some vegetarian dishes so decided to give it a visit.
Normally I go Pizza Express in London where it all started, then tried it when it came to Hong Kong.
Not long, the menu was localized hence I never went back.
Anyway, after shopping at USelect went here for dinner.
Was browsing through the menu and couldn't find the vegetarian dishes.
Perhaps they had changed the menu again as the promotion was last year, just as I had made up my mind to order I found the damn menu booklet little hidden underneath the front of the back cover so had to decide again.
Couldn't find the planted based pizza because found out that is for the Singaporean PE.
Ordered the omnipork fusilli, you can personalize your pasta so changed it to spaghetti.
Funnily when it came, there wasn't any omnipork so they had to recook it.
According to the menu, this is what is in the dish:
Omnipork the plant-based pork alternative, flavoured with fennel and water chestnut. Served with garlic, chili flakes, button mushrooms and rocket
The taste was great with a spicy kick but couldn't quite taste the fennel and water chestnuts or see any of the button mushrooms.
The ravioli was good but a bit oily and too salty.
Avoiding the local pizzas, I felt the pastas were slightly better and the salad we had was great.
The avocados were ripe and the lemon dressing had a proper lemon tang to it unlike sweet lemon dressing at other restaurants.
For drinks, had the smoothie which is said to not contain any sugar but it tasted horribly sweet not the fault of the restaurant but the apple they used were naturally sugary and starchy.
Finished with the apple tortino which was really good and got 30% off it as friend was wearing orange.
The sweetness of that was normal and not as irritating as the juice.
