Dim Sums have become a favourite for many people because they are extremely flavourful and the choices when it comes to picking a dim sum are endless. Besides, there is nothing more mouth-watering and comforting than a steaming hot tray of this classic Chinese dish on any given day but they are particularly great to eat on a chilly or rainy day. Considering the random rain showers that we are seeing in Hong Kong in the last couple of days, we have put together the best restaurants to eat dim sums in the city.

Awarded a one-Michelin star for three years in a row, the Chinese cuisine Man Ho is one restaurant where you can find Hong Kong’s best dim sums that have found a place in almost every foodie’s heart. The eatery is known for being popular among ex-pats for adding a Western approach to this otherwise oriental dish that is made with thoroughly hand-picked produce from the city’s local markets under the guidance of its Dim Sum Head Chef Leung Wing Pan. The highly-recommended dumplings here include the Baked whole-dried South African abalone puff with wild mushrooms and Steamed minced cod fish and shrimp dumpling with soy sauce.

Given the popularity of dim sums, most people have savoured the dish at least once in their lives but if you want to try something different while enjoying the rush of flavours that you experience when biting on a piece of dim sum, then you should try the ones from Bino ‘N’ Booze. The hot pot restaurant offers two soup bases that have alcohol mixed in them – The Signature Red Wine Oxtail and Tomato Soup and The Pig Tripe and Chicken in Beer Soup. When combined with the carefully hand-rolled dumplings, the dumplings melt right in your mouth to give a unique yet comforting taste. The must-try here are the Abalone and Black Truffle Dumplings and the Drunken Chicken Dumplings.

If this happens to be your first time trying a dim sum or you simply liked to be spoiled with so many choices then your go-to restaurant for dim sums should be Fox Glove. Offering nearly 30 options varying from seafood and meat to vegetable dumplings, this speakeasy restaurant allows you to try different and as many dim sums as you like. The newest addition is the Sichuan Peppercorn Xiao Long Bao which is inspired by the Shainghanese dumplings sold at a highly-raved street stall in Shanghai.

Perfect for meat lovers and vegans, Mott 32’s newly-updated Dim Sum menu puts taste at the forefront. In addition to the restaurant’s already existing steamed dim sum platters, its executive chef Lee Man Sing has collaborated with the plant-based food company Plant Sifu to launch a set of plant-based dim sum dishes that are only available until June 30. As expected from this contemporary Chinese restaurant, every ingredient is carefully picked from different parts of the world thus giving a contemporary twist to the traditional Chinese dish.

Move over Dry January and the Whole30 refined-food elimination diet. Veganuary is here to encourage us to eat cleaner and help the planet one plant-based meat substitute at a time. More than half a million people around the world pledged themselves to a month-long plant-based diet last January – double the number who dipped their toes in Veganuary 2019, and excluding countless others who didn’t declare their intentions on the internet.
How did the campaign start? 
The campaign was born in the United Kingdom over a bottle of wine shared by Jane Land and Matthew Glover, a couple who had found each other on a vegan dating site, and in just seven years it has attracted celebrity advocates like Billie Eilish, Elliot Page and Alicia Silverstone. Last year Natalie Portman asked her 5.9 million Instagram followers to join the movement and “fight climate chaos with your fork”.

Meat, milk and egg production accounts for almost 15-percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, but those choosing to reduce the amount of animal products in their diet for planetary, ethical or personal health reasons can take heart in the changing landscape. In 2020, vegan meat substitutes claimed a whopping US$1.4 billion market share in the United States. As we digest the prospect of a new, cleaner lifestyle, let’s consider what good a month of plant-based eating could do for our bodies.

Within 3-4 days: Digestion and gut health will begin to improve. With increased amounts of fibre and water in your system from all those fruits and green vegetables, bowel movements will become more regular.
Within 7 days: Blood sugars dip almost from the get-go, and as you banish processed foods, energy levels enjoy a noticeable boost. A well-balanced plant-based diet is high in vitamins, minerals and fibre, has zero cholesterol, and is generally much lower in saturated fats (avoid palm and coconut oils if heart health is your priority). Several studies have shown that levels of LDL ¬– low-density lipoproteins, a.k.a. bad cholesterol ¬– improve over one or two weeks of total immersion in clean, plant-based eating.
Over 2-3 weeks: You begin to drop pressure and pounds. According to medical research, a single week of sticking to whole foods – fruit and veg – and a diet low in salt and processed foods can reduce high blood pressure by 10mmHg. Another impressive feat of going vegan is that your taste buds become more receptive to the natural flavours of food.
Over 3-4 weeks: The cleaner you eat, the clearer and brighter your complexion becomes. Research has proven that adult acne miraculously disappears in less than a month of cutting out the hormones and steroids found in dairy products from your diet. Dropping dairy also calms skin inflammation and shrinks cystic pimples.

The benefits of a meat-free existence are compelling, and the realisation, spurred by an increasingly eco-enlightened mainstream media, is accounting for a rapid change in eating habits. In the US in 2020, plant-based food retail sales grew at 27-percent compared with a total retail food market increase of 15-percent. Every month, we witness the mega launch of a meatless meat product or a buzzy new line of dairy alternatives. Shopping, social life and dining out for vegans, even in a city of carnivores like Hong Kong, is now far less challenging.
Eschewing meat and dairy seems sensible after December’s indulgences, but is a January of clean living going to deliver lasting benefits? “While we are definitely seeing a shift in dietary habits over the years, switching to a plant-based diet has to be long-term and sustainable for you to see any health benefits,” says Shirley Kwok, founder of online concept store <a href="https://kirrconcept.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KIRR (Keeping it Real and Raw)</a>. “[Veganism] is more than just a diet du jour; it’s a lifestyle and a mindset change.”

While there is no doubt that the meat (beef in particular) industry negatively impacts greenhouse gas emissions and thus the planet, questions have been raised about the greenness of the vegan diet, and whether our quest for better health has gone too extreme?
<blockquote>“Not everyone benefits from dropping meat and dairy,” says Hong Kong-based holistic health coach Mayuri Punjabi. “Long-term veganism can leave the body severely deficient in proteins and amino acids. I did a three-month plant-based diet challenge with my brother and we both had drastically different results. While I had hair loss, patchy skin and bloating, my brother saw dramatic health benefits. Before blindly following a fad, you should know if the trend suits your bio-individual needs.”</blockquote>
For Health’s Sake

While high rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease – largely driven by the quantity and quality of food we consume – are of grave concern, doctors have warned that cherry-picking nutritional research to make a case for veganism can result in the depletion of essential vitamins like D and B12 (found in animal products), amino acids responsible for brain and heart health, and vital minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc and iodine.
Your body can store minerals and vitamins for almost a year, so transitioning to a vegan diet might not initially result in deficiencies. If you plan on ditching diary, meat and fish for good, though, you may need to turn to supplements. Count your macros, and arm yourself with the knowledge to plug any nutritional gaps. Bacon doesn’t have to be the only measure of happiness, of course, but remember that turning around your health and the planet’s ills takes a lot more than cutting out cheese and salami.

Mid-Autumn Must-haves: Five mooncakes you have to try

After the usual heated debate, Collins dictionary has announced its word of the year and it is “single-use”. The term beat ‘gammon’ ‘gaslight’ and ‘MeToo’ to the top of the lexical podium after a four-fold increase in single-use plastics over the last five years.
An estimated 5.2 million plastic bottles are thrown away everyday in Hong Kong alone. The city’s dependence on single-use plastics is causing public health concerns as landfills fill up and marine life is increasingly threatened. Many fashion-conscious denizens cite the unfashionable nature of more sustainable products as a reason not to use them. But the green market is swapping its associations with burlap and sackcloth for high-tech, more sartorially sustainable options.
Gafencu looks at some high-end alternatives to single-use plastics, showing that there’s no need to sacrifice style in an effort to go green.&nbsp;
