EatSmart Restaurants Snaps

Hong Kong Style Tea Restaurant – KF Cafe & Restaurant

Hong Kong Style Tea Restaurants give us an impression that most of their food are less healthy. Their best-sellers, such as stir-fried noodles, assorted tenderized steak and French Toasts are often high in fat and calorie. The KF Cafe & Restaurant in Kwai Chung, however, distinguishes itself from other eateries as an EatSmart Restaurant offering "3 Less" yet delicious recipes.

Mr. MA Kin-Leong, owner of KF Cafe & Restaurant works closely with his Head Chef, who shares his dining philosophy, to make numerous healthy dishes fulfilling the "More Fruit and Vegetables" and "3 Less" requirements. White collars working around are impressed and welcome such changes.

Mr. MA dismisses the misunderstanding that EatSmart dishes are more costly – the ingredients of EatSmart recipes are mostly vegetables which are generally less costly, and are affordable to most families.

CookSmart’s recommendation

Vegetables in Portuguese Sauce – broccoli, tomato, brassica green and fresh mushroom in a cream sauce made from low-fat milk instead of coconut milk which is high in saturated fat. The overall fat content is much reduced.
