One cannot claim that one has visited Hong Kong until she/he has tried the cantonese dimsum. Vegetarians fear not as you can visit 3 Virtues to fulfill that criteria. Famous for its dimsum menu, 3 Virtues is definitely a one-stop destination for great vegetarian dimsummers. 3 Virtues changes its menu every 2-3 months so be sure to try out the items available during each cycle before they're replaced!
Cheung Fun Chinese Rice Rolls stuffed with Mushrooms and Vegetables I like Hong Kong's Cheung Fun better than the Malaysian version as the sauce is not as sweet and overwhelming as the Sweet Sauce (甜酱)
Soup Dumplings "Scallop" Dumplings this dish is extremely yummy! I love the pepper flavored soup as it helps amplify the "scallop" flavor.

A very rare fireworks display as the smoke from the fireworks did not disperse, blocking Hong Kong's skyline.
This is a rare sight! HK island covered by a cloud of black smoke, leftover from the fireworks display.
Chinese New Year Lanterns at Elements shopping mall (Kowloon MTR station)- the lil girls are so cute right!

A very famous Shanghainese dim sum eatery located in Hong Kong
奶油包 - Condensed Milk Buns - I ate the buns without the condensed milk as condensed milk is known to be high in saturated fat.
Vegetarian deep-fried stuffed beancurd sheets - very yummy dish as the filling was full of flavor and complimented the crispy outer very well.
Rice Wine Dumplings - Ah, this is a must try! Even a Caucasian friend loved it as the fragrance of the rice wine helped amplify the flavor of the peanut filling. We loved this so much that we practically licked the bowl to the very last drop.

Hopefully, through this site, the lives of some animals can be spared. Always remember, animals have feelings too, they are our friends not our meal.
