Ultimate Secret guide for Vegetarian / Jain Food options in Hong Kong!


Puris!
“Good Food means Good Mood”, we all love food. In fact some of my best travel moments are derived from the places where I got absolutely excellent vegetarian Jain food. I have had lot of struggle growing up and explaining my colleagues and friends why I prefer pure vegetarian food and lately my choice towards eating Jain food or my husband’s preference of eating pure Jain food (no garlic, no carrots basically no roots at all). 
We kept shying away and could mingle very limited with others because you know, you catch up over dinner and lunches but we were quite strict and people made faces. It was difficult telling and explaining and it was really tough that why are we strict about this preference. 
But Hey! We moved Hong Kong and were surprised how much accommodating restaurants here are by obliging and respecting everyone’s preferences equally. You know Buddhism which is followed by 9 to 10% population of World (as per Wikipedia) follow the vegetarian food habit and does not even consume Garlic and Onion because they are “tamsic” in nature. When lot of westerners are turning Vegans and lot of Chinese friends here have become pure vegetarian as matter of choice and liking then why do we have to shy away! 

We started taking strong stand on Yes, I am proud to belong to Jain community and follow Jain food diet. However, we still face this question, How do you survive in Hong Kong with your kind of food preferences?
I came across this raw data from Urvil (who received from his friend Himani), a family friend and I just couldn’t stop myself from developing it into a good blog to help everyone with this excellent guide of Vegetarian / Jain food options in Hong Kong. 

Especially for the travel & food lovers who would love to indulge in good Vegetarian Jain food. Not just Indian cuisine but Mexican, Chinese, Lebanese , Thai, Japanese, tiffin options etc and lot more Jain/Vegetarian food options are available. Thanking Urvil and Himani for solid inspiration!

Also, there are lot of Pure vegetarian small outlet restaurants in very infamous "Chungking Mansion", but purely enter at your own risk. Its "Infamous" for a reason. However when in group we do indulge in Garam Chai and Parathas made by Raju Aunty, she runs the restaurant named Sarvana at Shop 105, Chungking Mansions, 36-44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui and her contact number is
27397633. Also once one enters this arena there are lot shops on ground floor which claims to make fresh sweets and has junk options like kachoris, Jalebis, Samosas, etc. 
 This is exhaustive list and but may not be absolutely complete with all the options across Hong Kong. Before visiting any restaurant please call and confirm for availability of Jain food especially. Hong Kong rent is quite steep and you will may see either change in address or whole restaurant vanishing so better to re-confirm before going. In the ones that I have not specifically mentioned, are not pure Vegetarian restaurant. 
P.S. The best way to find about more details like timings and review on their food and service and also to catch upon some luring discounts visit websites like openrice or Chope or happycow. Offcourse one can alos book table on chope, Eatigo and get some discounts.

P.S. In some of the vegetarian Chinese restaurant you may see the menu and feel is this really vegetarian, because they might have mentioned fish, chicken etc in it but it’s just for the shape but they actually use Soya for the preparation. It is believed that this is made as such so people who want to leave non veg, psychologically this benefits them.
