Cool organic places in Hong Kong

I was in Hong Kong last week and many of my friends brought me to new places in Hong Kong that carried organic and healthy foods. One of them was a market, called ThreeSixty, that was a smaller version of Whole Foods in a major mall in downtown Central called the Landmark. The selection was very impressive for a place in Hong Kong, but prices were very high.
ThreeSixty even had a nice food court on their second level, with over seven local restaurants and food stands to choose from in a nice, shiny environment. They had everything from wheatgrass juice to Italian food to pan Asian food to an actual sushi boat restaurant in the back.My friends brought me to Life for dinner, an organic, vegetarian restaurant in the streets of Hong Kong’s SOHO district. Tucked in an ally near a major escalator, the restaurant was cozy and reminded me of something you would find in the Bay Area.
Inside, the place was very crowded, with a warm color scheme.

I ordered an Asian stirfly vegetable and tofu dish on top of quinoa. The taste was very strong, but perfectly complemented the plain tasting quinoa. We also tried a lentil burger (which I highly recommend), a pumpkin soup, and a masala chai tea. After the meal, we went for a quick massage at a place called “Happy Feet”– a perfect ending to the day in Hong Kong.

Hi Christine! I randomly found your blog! I’ve always wanted to start a healthy/organic food store or restaurant in HK. Does it seem like the concept is well-received there? Sounds like it’s the new trendy thing, which will unfortunately pass at some point like every other trend in HK.

Hope you’re well, let’s get together sometime!

Hi Karen,
I hope you are well. I still think Hong Kong has an opportunity (or for that matter, Shanghai, Taiwan, Singapore) in organic food. The 360 is pretty crowded, the prices are really high. There isn’t anything else like that out there, so I’m sure another competitor would do well.

Does anyone know if the Green Tea House is Organic? I have not been, but it seems really nice in this video http://www.so-u.tv/playVideo.php?id=237
