This is a new cafe around my client's office. I was attracted by its simple renovation and mediterranean menu. So my colleague and I sat down, and find if there is any "Chef recommends" or "Signature". Oh God! We only find "V" (Vegetarin" & "GF" (Gluten Free), what a nightmare for a meat lover, it is a vegetarin restaurant! However, we are open to try NEW! From starters to dessets,  these dishes were surprisingly GOOD and TASTY!!**Lovely vegetarian cuisine, must try other dishes next time!!

整整一個星期沒有回家吃飯,難得這餐由我選餐廳,當然要吃得健康。來到灣仔的月街,很喜歡這一帶,位於市區,卻靜靜的,有種遠離繁囂的奢侈,最重要是有很多特色小餐館。繼上次到Spoil Cafe吃了頓出色的晚餐後,這次來到Maya Cafe。跟Spoil Cafe一樣,也是很小的店,狹窄得有點兒逼。幸好,店內的裝飾,配合柔合的燈光,把氣氛變得平和、愜意,狹窄反變成親切。燈飾更添上地中海風情。有晚餐供應,有前菜、主菜、甜品和飲品。是日的餐湯是蕃茄湯。新鮮蕃茄煮成的濃湯,十分稠,香草味濃。Mezze PlatterHummous, babaganoush, lebanese salad, cheese, olives and multigrain bread很豐富。每一款都不錯,味道天然。Hummous配上黑芝麻,茄子蓉配上白芝麻,賣相加分之外,出色的味道之上,更增一份芝麻香。沙律中的橄㰖又大又肥,吃畢口裡留下一陣橄㰖香。還有自家製的芝麻醬,十分香口。Baked ratatouille with feta cheeseEggplants, zucchini, bellpeppers and tom

Baked ratatouille with feta cheese
Eggplants, zucchini, bellpeppers and tomatoes in mediterranean spices served with organic brown rice and a side green salad
這個法式的蔬菜大雜燴,蕃茄味特別香濃,除了香草,還加了feta cheese,添上一陣咸咸的奶香,是最天然的調味。糙米粒粒豐滿,很有飯香,十分彈牙。配上蕃茄汁,又是另一番滋味。還有混了橄㰖油的新鮮生菜,清新又爽脆。

Baked stuffed eggplants
Organic eggplants with stuffing made of mushrooms and sunflower seeds. The stuffing tastes like 'meat'! Served with fresh tomato sauce on a bed of organic brown rice and a side green salad
沒有留意兩款都是蕃茄汁底,要是店員可稍作提醒就更好,可以試試其他醬汁,cashew cream sauce也很吸引。幸好,焗茄子也沒有令人失望。茄子大得像個巨型蘑菇,直到切開的一刻都難以相信它是茄子。放在紅紅的茄肉之上,賣相很美。試過在家烤茄子,絕不容易。這個茄子卻沒有烤乾,夠軟又多汁。蘑菇碎和葵花籽碎混在一起,口感滑溜溜中帶點硬,很特別。蕃茄跟茄子很夾。鋪在底的糙米,吸盡蕃茄的精華,清新又有嚼勁。

晚餐的甜品可以在雪櫃裡自行選擇,款式都幾多。Brown rice pudding放在迷你casserole中,很可愛,但已吃了兩道糙米,還是選別的好了。Coffee trifle的賣相都不錯,還有chocolate mousse等等。最後,選了不太起眼的Chia seed pudding。

Chia seed pudding
相信是最健康的選擇。被稱為超級食物的奇異子,營養極豐富,聽得多但吃還是第一次。吃得很飽,酸酸的布甸來得正合時宜,幾開胃。啖啖都是奇異子,西米的滑溜加上芝麻的一點一點,口感很特別。

很滿足的晚餐,每一道菜味道都很天然,運用簡單的素菜,做成如此不簡單的味道。跟中環的Life Cafe有點相似,比在上環試過的幾間素食店都要出色。

I finally found a good quality veggie cafe in Hong Kong. Freshly ingredients. You wont be disappointed.

All time favorite upbeet juice (Beetroot, carrot, apple, celery and lemon)
My favorite is Gazpacho (raw cold Spanish soup), it has textile, layer of veggie and a kick of spice. 
Vegetarian Lasagna (the best in Hong Kong)
Finish up with Brown Rice pudding (gluten free) slow cooked brown rice and coconut milk, unrefined brown sugar. 

A good meal makes your rest of the day a happy day.

Very pleased with the quality, quality and service.

I will definitely go back to try the meatless balls next time.

MUST TRY.

為左慶祝男朋友生日, 佢話想食素, 其實生日食素真係一個唔錯既idea!唔好以為食素一定係中式, 於是上openrice搵搵有冇特別d素食餐廳~見到呢間位於月街的maya cafe環境不錯, 仲見到用table map訂檯仲有9折!由於當日同男友好晏先食lunch, 去到maya cafe都仲未餓~仲驚試唔到好多野!本來只係叫左2個main, 不過服務員推介招牌菜沙律, 於是就叫埋, 仲叫左1枝法國啤酒同埋1枝澳州cider.食物份量算多, 又好食, 可能係素食的關係, 雖然唔太肚餓都食得哂食. 加上環境舒適, 周邊十分清靜寫意~是一餐愉快的生日飯 <3

今年身體唔多好,所以常常因為病倒而食唔到美食。大一歲希望身體能夠健康啲,所以生日飯揀左呢間地中海素菜。 灣仔星街被打造成為一條soho食街,帶挈埋係月街既酒吧,當然也不少得Maya Cafe。呢度靜中帶旺,人氣夠,但位置比較舒服,喺鬧市入面搵到一個小小空間舒舒服服食一餐飯實屬難得。 今次第一次成功用Tablemap book枱,非常方便,而且仲有email notification,不過我覺得如果餐廳有電話double confirm booking會更好。 由於我同男朋友下午果餐食濟左,差啲食唔落晚餐,我地猶豫左好耐食乜好。店員好耐心同我地介紹食乜好,同埋佢可以清楚咁講到每種食物同食材既特式同味道,我覺得服務態度真係幾好! 由於太多餐冇食菜,我地先點左個沙律Greek Salad with Feta Cheese($115),希臘沙律都幾多料,有車厘茄、青瓜片、洋蔥、紅燈籠椒。我都係第一次食沙律有紅燈籠椒,都幾好食!Feta Cheese係山羊奶芝士,軟軟地,又唔會太膩,少少咸,食多幾粒都唔覺太飽。至於沙律個sauce我估有及醋、檸檬汁同橄欖油。不過除左呢幾樣我估仲有其他香料,呢種味

Main點左($162),呢個係店員介紹的。薯仔波既外表只係微焗,唔會太燶,sauce有少少辣。橄欖原粒食有點重口味,所以我只係食左兩粒。有一大條芝士,好似配紅酒會正啲(不過我點左白酒)。兩小匙的沙律好精緻,九層塔的香味好出。豆腐賣相好好,同個sauce都好夾,不過好易夾散,可能整得太乾,中間的水份都抽走了。我覺得呢個main幾特別,睇得出用心工匠,不過sauce的口味就未必個個都岩啦。

因為驚唔夠飽(其實最後食唔哂...),叫左 Meatless Balls in rich tomato sauce + pasta ($168),Meatless Balls係冇肉既"肉丸",肉丸主要係用磨菇做,之後再用調味去令到佢似真正既肉丸,一咬開已經散散地,口感略嫌唔似肉。不過個味真係似豬肉!幾驚喜!而且磨菇都好香口。意粉有啲硬,蕃茄汁好開胃。

本來有啲擔心叫smoothie會太飽,因為smoothie都有啲厚既質感。但我見佢有咁多特別既組合決定要試下,所以男朋友揀左Revival($60),係芒果、檸檬、青瓜同香蕉打出黎既。一飲就飲得出香蕉味,吞左後會"回甘"青瓜既餘香。我最飲唔出芒果既味。呢個smoothie都幾驚喜,我有諗過佢係咁好飲!開頭以為呢個組合會怪怪的。同埋飲左佢有消化左好多既感覺!

我仲叫左杯白酒Del Veneto Pinot Grigio(Italy)($75),來自意大利的,我覺得不過不失啦。好似配沙律最好飲。

雖然最後我地食唔哂,因為上一餐太濟肚了,但我地都覺得食呢餐係冇錯既。因為真係好fresh!店員既service係非常之好!希望有機會再來!

雖說現在流行健康飲食,但其實還是有很多人受不了多菜少肉,不吃精製食品的生活。幸而找到兩位注重健康飲食的朋友相伴,一起來到在我Wishlist多時主打Raw & Vegan Food的Maya Cafe,吃吃地中海風味的素食。其中一位友人已來過數遍,她在這裡最喜歡的就是Quinoa Salad with assorted salad($95)。三色藜麥混上糙米,再配搭新鮮爽脆的椰菜絲、甘筍絲和紫椰菜絲。簡單清新,一點也不乏味。Mezze Platter($158),hummus雞心豆蓉細滑濕潤,只是小茴香味稍重。Baba ganoush較稀,加上我本身不太愛吃,故只嚐了一小口。黎巴嫩沙律上放了四顆大橄欖。Falafel雞心豆蓉餅形狀可愛,外皮脆但中間乾了點,味道富有果仁香。但Tahin芝麻醬味道不太突出且太稀。比得包如能先稍稍烘一下定會更滋味,最喜歡搭上Feta Cheese同吃。接著店主讓我們試一點店的新菜式Chili con corn($158),紅椒粒、牛油果和粟米粒等菜蔬加在一起,以香料帶來微微刺激的辛香,味道不輸美洲的Chili con carne,意外成為全晚我最喜歡的鹹食。

頭盤過後便到主食,這款Raw fettuccine in red walnut pesto sauce($162)用上翠玉瓜刨絲作麵條,醬汁加了紅椒和紅辣椒,輕輕的味跟翠玉瓜的清甜十分匹配。只是略嫌翠玉瓜麵太長且纏作一團,夾起來的時候不太方便。

另一款是熱食的Baked ratatouille($162),蕃茄、茄子、翠玉瓜和紅椒焗過後打成一片,上頭放了Feta cheese作點綴,吃下添了分鹹香。跟伴上的麥包味道也合拍,差點想舉手問店員能不能多添一片麵包。

慢慢吃慢慢聊,不知不覺便兩小時,不待我們選甜點,店主便已遞上給我們精選的幾款甜點。當中包括以腰果、杏仁、檸檬和椰子花蜜所製的Lemon ball,釀入了杏仁和椰子花蜜的棗子,及以香蕉乾、杏仁、椰子花蜜及椰子油造的Power ball。

Chia Pudding莓味酸甜可口,質地比一般的更凝固結實,像是慕絲一般,友人猜店把部分Chia seed打細令其給收更多水份。我也希望是如此,至少不是因為加了魚膠粉。

我比較喜歡的就是Raw Chocolate Mousse。軟滑而且可可味濃,猜是以可可粉、牛油果和香蕉打成。

店員服務好得沒處可彈,除了不住的主動加水,還因為看到我們在拍照而開白燈遷就我們。麻煩了他我們也覺得不好意思呢!餐廳晚上氣氛格外浪漫,昏昏黃黃的燈光,加上小碟菜式和小件甜點,又有餐酒供應,最適合情侶來拍拖談情。雖然定價不低,但如果另一半或身邊有朋友喜歡吃素和生機飲食,不妨來相約這裡試試。

首先我要利申,因為在不同時間對此餐廳寫了三篇食評了。只因每次吃的東西都很特別,才會寫了三篇。而且是因為此餐廳比較少食評,才這樣容易發現其中三篇的作者是同一人而已。哈哈!說回正題。第一次在平安夜吃一個豐富的聖誕大餐。雖然只有我一人享用,我也蠻享受啊。尤其是店員適時地奉上菜式,也沒有打擾我悠閒地享用晚餐。(前題是,當時餐廳並不滿座……)結果,我用了一個小時用餐,滿足地離開並回家。先讓大家看看菜單。餐廳有兩個聖誕套餐選擇。上面的餐單是熟食,下面則是生食。我選擇了熟食那一個餐單。首先奉上小食。我忘記了有小食,以為是主菜。然後擔心是否足夠飽肚……結果是挺著脹大了的肚子回家,哈哈!就這樣看不知道原來麵包是熱的。而且,外脆內軟。有些餐廳會將麵包放進籃子裡,配備牛油給客人食用。但並不是所有餐廳都提供熱的麵包。我喜歡熱的,會令我想多吃一個。這個綠色的醬料內有白色的芝士。味道很鹹,應該是希臘芝士吧。綠色醬料吃不出是甚麼來的。這個紅椒很鮮甜。緩和了剛才那個的鹹味。最後一個也是鹹的。想也是芝士。聖誕套餐有一杯汽酒配小食。不過,我不喝酒。店員便特別讓我選擇餐單上的鮮蔬汁(原價是$52)代替。我選擇了Reboot

我選擇了Reboot。
即甘筍、橙、西芹和薑。

我覺得薑味太濃了,不太合我口味。
甘筍味道強烈,西芹味則不太明顯。
或許是與甘筍結合了而分不出來吧。
我也嚐不到橙的味道,所以這杯鮮蔬汁並不甜。
如果橙味多一點會較好。

其實這杯鮮蔬汁已佔了我的胃的一半空間了。

這晚讓我知道了牛油果和山葵原來是這樣匹配的!
很美味的果醬!
山葵的份量剛好,不會太刺鼻。
牛油果打得很軟滑,所以餐廳以mousse(慕絲)來命名。

下面有青瓜、甜紅椒、紅洋葱和green lentils。
我不知道有紅洋葱,否則,我會問店員可否去掉。

青瓜清新爽口。
甜紅椒清甜。

Green lentils是法國綠豆。
起初以為是平常吃到的綠豆。
坐在隣桌的客人向店員查問才知道。
Green lentils煮得綿軟。
有醋的味道,很對味。

另一個主菜含有香檳,應該沒有辦法去掉,因此我不用苦惱如何選擇。

來了這道主菜,我安心了。

主菜很有份量。
而且很鹹。
當然了,以三款芝士製成。

表面那一大片烤了的芝士口感很好。
烤了的芝士會有點像肉類的質感,很特別的。

芝士蓋著碎菠菜、白色的鹹芝士碎、番茄和寬條麵。
幸好有番茄,中和了芝士的鹹味。
菠菜和寬條麵也軟滑。

主菜其實也配一杯紅酒或白酒。
不過,可能我不喝酒的關係,店員也沒有向我提及。
我想是因為他給我大杯裝的鮮蔬汁,那便是兩杯酒的替代品了。

甜品可從餐單上選擇。
我選了這個Chocolate Mousse。

這間餐廳的甜品不錯的。
上一次吃過Mango Delight和Brown Rice Pudding同樣美味且特別。

這次的Chocolate Mousse是朱古力愛好者的必吃之選!
朱古力味超濃,帶少許苦味。
非常軟滑。
甜度低。
現在也很回味呢!

最後還有一杯餐茶。
原本是咖啡或英式茶。
晚上不想喝咖啡,英式茶又不太吸引我。
於是,店員說可以給我一杯熱朱古力。

可以這樣彈性配合客人需求,實在太好了!

雖然剛吃了味道極濃的Chocolate Mousse,然而,這杯熱朱古力完全不會令我有甜膩感。
首先,朱古力熱飲本身是沒有甜味的。
店員另外奉上糖瓶給我,我只下了一小匙黃糖。

朱古力熱飲的味道沒有比Chocolate Mousse濃郁,應該是含奶的關係。
口感幼滑。
喝下去很順喉,很温暖。
少少的甜味已足夠了。
便是盡情地感受朱古力的原味。

整個聖誕套餐很豐富,$348,另有加一服務費。
除了食物味道好,置身幽靜的餐廳中,慢慢享用晚餐,心中感覺平安。
我就這樣渡過了一個美味的平安夜。

最後送上自製的聖誕卡。
(我用Line Camera應用程式加入貼紙和文字,便成了獨一無二的聖誕卡了。)
其實是餐廳餐桌上的電子蠟燭裝飾。
在不太明亮的燈光下,亮著電子蠟燭,也能營造浪漫氣氛。

祝大家聖誕快樂,平安滿足!

There are not many places that offer private Western vegetarian fine dining so this is probably the first where you can experience gourmet raw food for up to 12 guests at Modus Vivendi.

The food served is organic, vegan and raw ingredients from France, Italy and local markets in Hong Kong which is brought to you by Maya Cafe.

Each private dinner will be different, usually evolving around a country or regional theme creating fusions of traditional dishes or reinventing dishes.

The theme that I had was Summer in Tuscany.

It cost's $880 with pink prosecco wine or $680 with non alcoholic drinks.

There is a cocktail reception with finger food and raw canapes of:
-Rosemary cups with vegan aioli and sundried tomatos
-mini peppers with carrot tagbouli and basil
-almond and black pepper cups with black olive tapenade and pesto
-sundried tomato dip with veggie sticks

We started off with a refreshing ganzpacho which was tomato in three ways.
Fresh tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, olive oil and black pepper on a bed of crunchy yellow and black tomato surrounded by pool of rich red tomato soup with rosemary n basil.
I definitely enjoyed a cooling ganzpacho to start with thee strongest tomato taste you could ever taste

It was mind blowing how good these cheeses could taste, especially the cream cheese and cheddar.
All the cheeses were made with probiotics which helps to turn it into cheese when it is added to the grounded nuts.

For dessert, we had a colourful plate with forest berries, dark chocolate tart and lavender icecream.
The icecream was really interesting, it was light with an extremely viscous texture just like whipped egg white at a freezing temperature.

Maya is a healthy baby growing up with fresh juice, coconut ingredients, organic farm products, coffee beans and wine. The little restaurant is featured in a purely white and blue Mediterranean tone with some colorful exotic decorations. Two intelligent ladies behind this great idea are, actually fashion designer and business-owner, meanwhile they are bringing the Mediterranean cuisine (South France, Italy, Spain) and Indian spices by their knowledge of where they come from.
The restaurant is more like a combination of daytime-cafe and nighttime-bistro, serving a rich collection of light dishes and drinks. Maya runs from the early breakfast till late dinner in the famous but quiet area of Wanchai (Star/Moon Street), and differs largely from the nearby restaurants by their dining concept.

Their Raw Food
With a nickname of 'Live Food', is a healthy dining concept for food processing and preparing. All the foods, fresh vegetables, fruits and grains are considered in large, are prepared through the complicated processing steps (generally takes 4-8 hours) in the purpose of preserving the original nutrition without down-grade the taste. By selecting the right grains for raw dishes, they are, most of the time, feed you well with even a small potion.
They're Organic
Maya tries best to have their raw materials organic. Their brown and red rice is supplied by a small organic grain farm in Philippine; their coffee beans are organic from Rwanda; some of their wines are made of organic grapes in European countries.
They're for Gluten-free, Vegetarian
Their menu is the most impressive one I have never seen in Hong Kong, in terms of, those three labels. I think it is quite important for a small but growing group of people living in Hong Kong.

*** Drink (Juice) ***
Following the healthy and fresh lifestyle concept, my eyes cannot take off from their Fresh Juice menu with a list of interesting names to be explored carefully. Each juicy contains at least 3-4 fresh herbs and fruits, and there are such a rich supplement that even with the function description, I cannot make my mind.
Hangover Express is absolutely in the Green category, with spinach, celery, cucumber, broccoli, apple and lemon. This is a super juicy, rich in vitamin A & C, magnesium, potassium, folic acid and selenium. It can be an anytime drink throughout the day, with a fresh nutrition snack.

A solid, semi-humid, raw bread made with several grains, and if you chew and feel it carefully in your mouth, you can feel some little sunflower seeds mixed. The taste is made by a Mediterranean recipe with some spices and herbs.

Smashed potato with corns, carrots and peas, the croquette is slightly fried to be light in taste with some salt as flavoring. The homemade raw ketchup is made of fresh tomato, sundried tomato and spices; it impressed me a lot. The flavoring function is more than enough than the artificial ketchup which is full of sugar, salt and artificial additions. Plus, it tastes more natural in its sweetness, sourness and freshness.

Popular dish in Middle Eastern cuisine and North Africa, it is normally with chickpeas while this one is prepared as raw food concept and chickpeas is taken out for a lighter feature. It is simply blended with black sesame, olive oil and flavored with salt, there is a strong raw and levantine food flavor which is not familiar to Hongkongers. Healthy cracker and carrot stick is served as side dishes.

One page of Maya's regular menu is in the way of colorful blocks. They are red, green, purple, yellow, orange and others, each of which represents a combination of paired vegetables and fruits and is followed by matched functions. The Daily soup is served as this color spectrum, and at the first day I visited Maya, I was offered with Green Soup as the daily soup in the Dining City Restaurant Week Menu.
The Green Soup is actually made from zucchini. The soup is served in a home-made style which is plain in looking, but rich in flavor.

A small production of organic brown and red rice from Philippine, the long-shape rice has not the strong water-absorbing capability, and with the mixed brown rice, the chewing experience is quite rich with a combination of softness and hardness. Zucchini and chickpea are two main materials with the tomato ingredients, overall tastes slightly salt and sour.

Chia contains high protein and rich in omega-3. They import Chia seeds from South Africa, and mixed with coconut cream, mixed berries, brown sugar to make this cute pudding cup. The dessert has such a impressive coconut aroma, meantime, keeps natural sweetness. The texture is quite thick because of the physical reaction between chia seeds and water, while it maintains its smoothness. It is one of the most popular dessert of Maya, and I promise you won't be disappointed by it.

Taking out dairy cream and butter, the chocolate mousse is given a new texture, which is drier and my tongue can feel more powder from it. However, the combination of chocolate and coconut, is perfect. It reduces the bitterness of coco but not add too much sweetness, and nourished so well by the healthy coconut ingredients.

Selected white/red/rose from France, Spain and Australia and some of them are organic labeled. Besides, they still have some beer and ciders on the list to make the selection richer.

Maya wasn't difficult to find, however, if you're unfamiliar with the Wanchai area it's best to give yourself an extra 10-15min to find the place.

Maya wasn't difficult to find, however, if you're unfamiliar with the Wanchai area it's best to give yourself an extra 10-15min to find the place. Upon arrival, the door immediately opens up to a diner's table...'space' in Wanchai is evidently an issue. After the 20min wait, we were seated not in the dining area in the restaurant, but in the back of the house where there was no AC, but only two fans (thank goodness it was raining, so the temperature did cool down)...

Alrighty, let's cut to the chase:
I ordered their specialty veg/fruit drink ($48 - which was the one with beets and a multiple of other fresh and yummy-licious additions). It tasted fine. Nothing to boast about, but it was certainly a healthy drink. Hence, me ordering the drink. 

My main was the zucchini pasta with meatless meatballs ($168)...oh gosh, what a disappointment. Not that it tasted poorly, the zucchini were shaved nicely to replicate "pasta" but after trying the meatless meatballs, I didn't want to eat another one...besides, this dish (in my honest opinion) should cost at most $58. It just wasn't worth that amount. I asked myself, is it because they're located on the ground floor and rent is getting more ridiculous for them? How on earth can this dish be worth $168?! It blew my mind...

Dessert: We had the vegan baklava ($58) and it was definitely up to par with the ones I've had in Greece. Would definitely order another (for take-away). 

Would I return for a meal? No. 
Would I return for their baklava? Yes. And that's it.

今天的午餐選擇在Maya Café Mediterranean Lifestyle。上一次在那裡吃地中海式high tea。一直想再次到那裡品嚐其他地中海菜式。是日午餐有前菜、主菜、甜品和飲品,$148(另需加一服務費)。前餐是三選一。我選了Soup of the Day(是日餐湯)。估計是椰菜花忌廉湯。(因吃到椰菜花碎。)質感十分濃稠。喝第一口便有熾熱感。是黑胡椒的關係,還帶有微苦的味道。雖然有少許胡椒的苦味,卻緩和了因濃稠的質感而令人感到飽膩的感覺。若是甜甜的忌廉湯,喝一碗已填滿一半肚子了。而這個卻沒有這感覺。主菜是四選一。我選了Baked Ratatouille with Feta Cheese。(直譯︰烤普羅旺斯雜燴配菲達芝士)首先,麵包應該是葵花子合桃麥包。店員送上主菜時,麵包是熱的這一點很好!口感很有嚼勁,絕不是硬的。合桃滿多的。可以清楚嚐到麵包的原味。普羅旺斯雜燴其實是油燉翠玉瓜、番茄、茄子及甜西椒。以燉的方式來煮,可以保持蔬菜的水份。本人喜歡濕潤的食物,也較喜歡燴的飯麵,所以,這道菜很適合我的口味。除了水份充足,質感還要是偏向軟綿的,也是我喜歡的口感。當然,翠玉瓜和甜西

(因吃到椰菜花碎。)
質感十分濃稠。

喝第一口便有熾熱感。
是黑胡椒的關係,還帶有微苦的味道。
雖然有少許胡椒的苦味,卻緩和了因濃稠的質感而令人感到飽膩的感覺。
若是甜甜的忌廉湯,喝一碗已填滿一半肚子了。
而這個卻沒有這感覺。

主菜是四選一。

普羅旺斯雜燴其實是油燉翠玉瓜、番茄、茄子及甜西椒。

以燉的方式來煮,可以保持蔬菜的水份。
本人喜歡濕潤的食物,也較喜歡燴的飯麵,所以,這道菜很適合我的口味。
除了水份充足,質感還要是偏向軟綿的,也是我喜歡的口感。
當然,翠玉瓜和甜西椒也不失其爽口的質感。

整碟都是蔬菜,而且是熱騰騰的,令我很滿足。
蔬菜味道著重天然,所以,沒有放入有濃烈味道的調味料。
只有表面灑上乾而碎的菲達芝士(即希臘白色軟芝士),其鹹味用以豐富蔬菜的味道。

雖然有油沉澱於碟子內,吃完也不覺得膩,應該是芥花籽油之類。

不過,份量不算多。
若是男生的話,應該不滿足。
我剛病癒康復中,不多吃也可,否則,我也覺得不足夠……

甜品也是四選一。

原本點了Brown Rice Pudding,上一次吃過覺得好味道。

甜品味道不甜。
芒果味道剛好,不會太霸道。
可以吃到芒果肉內的「筋」,證明是新鮮芒果做的。
質感軟滑,十分濃稠。
猜想地中海式布丁都是這樣,Brown Rice Pudding也是。

吃到這個我想反駁之前的說法。
甜品令整個午餐完滿,有很飽足的感覺。

餐飲可以選茶或咖啡。
茶有薄荷茶、檸檬茶和檸檬水。
若想要果汁的話,需另加$30。

由於我暫時停止喝咖啡一段時間,我選了冰檸檬茶。
茶的味道似乎有點淡。
加了糖水也不覺得甜。
檸檬味道最突出。
比檸檬水多少少茶味而已。
也好,可助解渴。

The chef here seems very capable - I visited the restaurant for a special Spanish tapas-style group meal that the chef specifically prepared for my group, and many flavors were on display. The fixed course meal began with a non-alcoholic sangria, which matched the flavor of true sangria very well. For an appetizer, I ate a spanish-style dip, surprisingly not salty but slightly sweet, with carrots that had been softened just enough to make them easy to eat with the dip. My group was mixed on the dish, but I found it to be quite unique and tasty. For an entree, I dined on a vegan omelette type dish, which was slightly crispy on the outside, but just soft enough inside. The omelette alone was not especially flavorful, but the tomato sauce around it paired well. Dessert was a real treat- the puddings were well crafted and went down quickly.

All in all, Maya Cafe is a winner if you're looking for intriguing, creative and delicious dishes and are willing to accept a thing or two off the mark. I look forward to going back.

Maya Cafe offers a special breed of vegetarian and vegan in that it is mainly Mediterranean in style, partly because of the French-Moroccan origins of one of the chef-owners. It is also one of the first restaurants in Hong Kong to introduce raw cuisine (e.g. raw pasta) to its menu.

We started off with some juice.

Pick Me Up
($48)
carrots, apple and ginger

~Ginger will help to alleviate symptoms of nausea and carrots and apple provide a burst of nutrients~ according to the menu. I believed that the ginger helped remove some of the "coldness" of the juices (as in traditional wisdom) and generate some "heat" on a rather chilly evening.

Red Hot Juice ($48) tomatoes, red bellpepper, carrots celery, cayenne pepper
~Low in natural sugars and high in the flavour vitamin A and C. Cayenne pepper removes toxins from the blood and help raise the body temperature~
As described it was a wintry juice, packed with antioxidants. The cayenne pepper really gave me a kick!

Even the soups got a raw version.

Raw Soup of the Day
($55)
~carrots avocado with ginger and coriander seeds~
To the unfamiliar this soup can more be likened to gazpacho, but it was richer and more creamy due to the avocado inside.

And now down to the mains.

Mezze Platter ($142)
~Hummus, babaganoush, Lebanese salad, cheese, olives and multigrain bread~
This was one of the more Meditteranean dishes. I think there were a couple of falafael balls as well. Standard fare, can't really get too wrong with it.

Frittata ($138, gluten-free, vegan)
~Baked organic hand made tofu with potatoes and bellpeppers with spices~

This was one where the creativity of the chef came in. Thanks to tofu, you could vegan-ize almost anything that calls for eggs, and you wouldn't believe this frittata has got no eggs whatsoever! The texture was light but it was flavorful, I could easily finish the whole dish all by myself! (Probably except the salad on the side which was too heavy on the dressing and was exactly the same salad that came with the follwing dish).

This was probably the best among what we had that evening. First of all it was hot (I'm referring to the temperature - a definite plus point on a cold day), served in a clay casserole for that extra homey touch. As you can see from the picture that the "meatless ball" in fact imitated the texture of ground meat quite well (although no mock meat was used), got a hint of spices just likethe real thing and was very hearty. Eating it with the rice was even more filling.

Let's not forget to try one of their signature Raw Vegan Pastas too.

Raw fettuccine with Alfredo Truffle Sauce ($140, gluten-free, raw, vegan)
~Fettuccine shaped zucchini with a creamy cashew-truffle sauce~
This is one of Maya Cafe's signatures. Zucchini is spiralized (using a specialised machine) to form strips that resemble spaghetti, and then mixed with a cashew sauce, which is very commonly used in raw cuisine to give a creamy consistency. One useful tip: don't let this "zughetti" sit for too long or else the water in the zucchini would be released and the sauce would get diluted.
I was perfectly okay with it as I'd had the same dish quite a few times already, but my family members thought it was like another plate of salad.

We wish we'd had room for dessert, but we were too full after all these yummy dishes for that. However, do look for their extensive selection of sweet goods including Mango Delight (mango pudding), chocolate mousse, gluten-free orange muffins, baklava and so much more!
