The last time I had a good vegetarian feast was at this western vegetarian restaurant at Causeway bay, a branch from London. The food is not the regular flavoured dough, or gluten pieces, but real food such as fried rices, real vegetables that I feel are healthier than the greasy fried items with the intention of filling the stomach.
This new place, the Loving hut, is a modern setting, bright and vibrant, a bit similar to Buddha Hut at Kowloon Bay, however the name and design is much better at the Loving Hut.
It’s style is rather different to the usual vegetarians places, it is set out like the ordinary Café de Coral where you look at the menu board, order, pay and collect at the counter.
Ordered the rice with vegetarian meat, and the vegetarian rice, both included drinks, so ordered a tea, and a hot wintermelon tea.
The wintermelon tea tasted very good, when it was warm, it wasn’t too sweet.
The vegetarian meat came with a green sauce, the chef said it was Middle Eastern sauce, the taste is not the usual taste, but it was strong, and managed to baffle me as I couldn’t make out the taste.
As for the rice with vegetarian meat sauce, I really enjoyed that too, I could see bits of black bean in it, so I was assuming the pieces of vegetables could be bittermelon, however when I tried it, it was the stems of pickled cabbage and snow cabbage.
As for the rice, it wasn’t that strong in flavour, but good enough.
After the meal, I decided to tried the blueberry cake to, the cream topping looks like egg white, but its more of a dry brittle curd like cream.
The different layers were interesting, the texture was not like cake at all, some layers were like hard jelly.
The chef said the cake was from Taiwan.
We were also given other desserts to try, and the strawberry and kiwi jelly was very delectable, very light, and there were real bits of fruit in it, the colour was a light pretty pink too.
Next dessert we were given, was the green cake, this was one of the desserts that was a real cake, also good too, not too sweet, the cake texture was firm and not too dry.
