Veggi Monsters: vegan burgers

February 7th 2018

Since the closing of Home: Eat to Live I didn’t really know where to go for a good vegan burger. That’s why I was so pleased to hear about a newly opened shop in Sheung Wan, serving 100% organic, 100% vegan burgers at very reasonable prices.
 
Unlike our deeply missed Home, Veggi Monster is a tiny little shop, hidden in a small street next to the Western Market. Not really a restaurant, it’s more like a stall, no table, no seats, only Take-away.

Menu is very small as well with only 6 different signature burgers, one sourdough sandwich and a couple of salads. You can add a drink and some fries but choice is limited. What is not tiny is the size of the burger. Generous, it’s filled with a nice amount of veggies, sauce and a big vegan steak.
Green, black, white or pink, they all have funny names:  The Dark Giant, made of organic black bean and quinoa, topped with melted non-dairy cheese, Portobello mushrooms, truffle sauce, kale and tomato is the most surprising one The Flame Rex has spicy beetroot The Snow Yati with white truffle, filled with eggplants is very tasty The Forest Guardian with its broccolis and peas is the lightest  All sauces are dairy-free.   
 
Don’t go there if you are looking for comfort but rather for comfort food which makes the planet happy.
Don’t go there if you are looking for variety but for a reasonably-priced healthy bite on the go, it makes the job.

Oh, and they sell metal straws with cleaning brushes for HKD 30, so they get a big thumbs up for being eco-conscious.
