Central, Hong Kong
Just a metro or boat trip away from our base in Lantau, we ventured into Central for a day of exploring. I’d snapped the above pic a few days earlier on the way back from a Junk Boat outing, sitting on the front of the boat watching the skyline get closer.
My boyfriend hadn’t been to HK before so I wanted to take him to a couple of the sites and everyone I spoke to told me we had to visit Grassroots Pantry and that it would cater for my veggie / gluten free / general dietary woes. I also wanted to buy things and walk on streets because I am easily amused.
But first, coffee. I love HK cafe culture and Coco Espresso’s iced lattes and cold brew provided welcome relief from the crazy humidity. On this trip we also visited N1 Coffee & Co in Kowloon where we picked up a bag of beans to take home.
I was very keen to take the escalators (my favourite thing about HK) up to mid-levels as a way of seeing the city without getting overly sweaty (humidity makes me grumpy). Hopping off at Hollywood Road, Grassroots Pantry did not disappoint – I had the vegan nachos with pulled jackfruit. My plans to pop back for some snacks were scuppered by a torrential downpour…more on that later.
We hopped in an Uber to the top of the Peak and got dropped off at the park rather than the viewing platform. No one else was around, I was wearing a vintage dress and sandals with absolutely no grip and it felt like a thunderstorm was imminent so we decided to go on a walking trail despite not knowing how long it would take to complete.
There's a Kala Toast at the top of the Peak now?! I trekked out so far to go and try one of their rainbow toasties in 2016!Cx
The rainbow ones looked so good! x

Ahh the nachos look amazing. I've seen a few different places in the UK with jackfruit on the menu as a vegan option. I'm tempted to give it a go. I'd like to visit Hong Kong one day 🙂
HK is great, although maybe not one for running as it's so hilly! x
Those nachos look good. I keep seeing jackfruit but I am sure I read that it tastes like bacon, and I don't like the taste of meat so I've not been brave enough to try it yet!
I don't like the taste / texture of meat either but the jackfruit was really good – think it ends up tasting of the sauce it's cooked in! x
