Surprises in Hong Kong and China (1)

It has been a week since I came back from Hong Kong-China trip.

While I have been busy catching up with work,
I couldn't wait to tell my friends some of the surprises
in Hong Kong and China!

One of the surprises is
the quality vegetarian places in Hong Kong & China!

Thanks to Happycow.net and my good friend Emily,
I managed to find a lot of nice vegetarian restaurants/cafes in Hong Kong.

These are a few that I had been to and enjoy the quality of the food there :D

  1. Gosh! Thanks for such good info :)

    Few days back found some books written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, one of them I found really interesting but I could not borrow (loan quota existed) and wanting to go back to read in the library but haven't.

    And here in your post, I just click on World Peace Cafe to read more, and surprise to know that it was found by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

    Hmmm... synchroncity!

    Cheers :)

  3. Hi
    That's great! More Veggie Places. Thanks for the info again.

    Anyway, after reading this, I went off to borrow the book. The book was with me today and I manage to get someone who "lost" touch with Dharma to read the first few pages on - Precious Human Life.

    Look like things are interconnected and interdependent.

    Thanks again :)

    Cheers :)



    Anyway, thansk
