Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine

Quality Vegetarian Restaurant

Since its establishment, Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine has earned a high reputation by serving diversified and delicious vegetarian dishes. While retaining the traditional flavour of Shanghaiese cooking, the restaurant is committed to providing high quality vegetarian cuisines. Their "meat-like" vegetarian dishes are especially well received by customers.

The management of the restaurant shares the "3 Less" principle advocated by the "EatSmart@restaurant.hk" Campaign and they joined the scheme a few years ago.

No Flavour Enhancers and Artificial Colorings

The restaurant’s first culinary principle is to choose quality ingredients from reliable suppliers. They serve dishes cooked with posh and seasonal ingredients such as pea shoots, monkey head mushrooms, morchella mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms without using flavour enhancers.

Fresh and Healthy Vegetarian Dishes

It is not uncommon for vegetarian chefs to cook with plenty of oil, yet Kung Tak Lam’s chefs opt for healthier ways of cooking such as steaming, boiling, stewing, grilling and stir-frying. They believe that with dedication and innovation, healthy and tasty vegetarian dishes can be prepared.

The restaurant management offers training to their kitchen staff regulary and renews the menu to serve seasonal dishes for customers. Posters and leaflets are also used by the restaurant to promote EatSmart Dishes of "3 Less" and "More Fruit and Vegetables".
