Bijas Vegetarian Restaurant @ Hong Kong University

With the continuous year end celebrations and feasting all over now, I am going to continue with wrapping up my 6 – 13 December 2015 Hong Kong trip postings 🙂

Now where was I already?? I had to go  through my photo albums and scroll down to check which was my last posting 😀

On our 4th day in Hong Kong, which was a very wet and chilly day, we went on a tour of Hong Kong University (HKU).

HKU is rated 2nd best in Asia in year 2015. Did you know that there are also 3 other universities in Hong Kong rated as top 10 universities in Asia in 2015? And what happened to all the universities in Malaysia? *shrug shoulders*

After our tour of HKU, we had lunch at Bijas Vegetarian Restaurant.  This restaurant is located within the campus of the university. It was super packed with students and professors on the day we had lunch there.

This was our menu for lunch…

Below – Vietnamese spring rolls.

Below – assortment of yummy dumplings.

Below – deep fried crispy tofu with raw green pea sprouts.

Below – double boiled aromatic soup with an assortment of mushrooms and natural ingredients.  Though totally meatless, it was nonetheless full of flavors.

Below – Bean curd sheet spring rolls (not in menu) but added last minute.

Super crispy rice puff with a super healthy and yummy dipping of pureed carrot and potato.

Below – stir-fried mock meat. Also an added dish, specially for the kids.

Below – sauteed asparagus with macadamia nuts, fresh lily bulbs, baby sweet corn, shimeiji and red bell pepper.

Below – mixed vegetables fried rice with pine nuts and red yeast. The rice with a very chewy and nice texture paired really well with the mock meat.

Below – dessert was deep fried sesame balls

Below – house-made soy bean milk with black sesame pudding.

Though the meal was meat-free, it was nonetheless very enjoyable. Every dish was amazingly executed and uniquely flavored though no meat was used, not overly oily and there was no aftermath of insatiable thirst, which was evidenced that not much or perhaps no MSG was added into the dishes. I would love to return to this restaurant in our next trip to Hong Kong.

Below – after lunch, my eldest SIL treated the girls to some souvenirs at the HKU souvenir shop.
