It’s not often that you find a place to eat
where the food really nourishes you.
Where you know that care has been taken not just to feed you and take your
money, but to really think about what goes into the dishes, and how they affect
your health. Yong Green food uses organic produce from local suppliers wherever
possible, donates to charity, offsets carbon emissions and uses only filtered
water.
Stir-fried Rice with Kimchi
Their menu is varied and includes everything from light raw options to
hearty hot pots and curry. It is predominantly vegan and gluten free, as well
as offering meals without onion and garlic.
Given the quality of food, the prices are
reasonable, the atmosphere is bustling and vibrant, and the staff is friendly
and efficient.
Brown Rice Tea
My favourite meal, which I return to time after time, is the
vegan, gluten free Macro Dragon Bowl. It consists of biodynamic brown rice,
leafy greens and other vegetables, tempeh, seaweed and probiotic lemon tahini
sauce (the ideal topping). It is served with housemade chickpea miso soup and
is so healthy and satisfying that I love it even more every time I eat it.

Also
high on my list of favourites, and good to share, is the raw cheese platter.
The herbed garlic cashew cheese is creamy and delicious, and goes perfectly
with the nut bread, tamari almonds, olives and balsamic figs. Need I say more!
Raw Cheese Platter
Well, I will say one more thing; if you want to really treat yourself, don’t go
past the caramel slice. How can this raw, organic, vegan, gluten free treat be
so utterly amazing? There must be a magic fairy living in the kitchen is all I
can say.
