You'll be Obsessed With These Vegan Foods and Restaurants in Hong Kong

Many might think that living a vegan lifestyle in Hong Kong is a challenge, but it’s easier than you think! Veganism is becoming a popular way of life, not only for millennials but also for boomers and centennials (aka Gen Z).

Studies show that a vegan diet reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes since it is generally considered to be higher in fiber and lower in cholesterol.

The trend of eating less meat and consuming plant-based meals has increased and Hong Kong is following suit to meet the consumer’s demands. From restaurants, supply stores, and even vegan ice cream, we’ve made a list of where to get vegan food here in Hong Kong.

Dine-in or Get a Takeaway!

1. Treehouse

Treehouse serves delicious vegetarian dishes and it’s a perfect place to go for a quick lunch. Their menu features flatbread wraps, burgers, and salad bowls where you can add a topping of your choice.

Make Your Vegan Food

1. If you’re into home cooking but can’t find the right ingredients for your vegan meal. You can try ordering online through iHerb. Products are cheaper at the shelf price and they offer a wide choice of vegan ingredients, from quinoa, legumes, and more. Try and browse through their options on iHerb.com.

2. If you’re looking for other options that you can stock on your freezer, you can do some grocery shopping at GreenCommon, City’super, JustGreen, and YATA where you can find beyond burgers, vegan patties, sausages, or even a vegan fish fillet!

3. If you’re too lazy to go out and opt to have your groceries delivered, try out oneveganshop.com. They offer hard-to-find alternatives to meat products for vegans and health-conscious consumers. Most of their products are imported from the UK and other European countries but they still have plenty of options from Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
