The Kinnet is one of the very few bookable restaurants around Central/Sheung Wan preparing healthy food, with fresh ingredients, at a reasonably affordable price AND catering for both herbivores & carnivores (so to speak : P)! I feel sorry to see Kinnet go (service ceasing on 5/9/2017) and am regretting a bit that I've delayed writing a review for it --- I have visited tons of times with lots of pictures on my phone. Before it's too late, let me just put together a short review of the highlights
Before it's too late, let me just put together a short review of the highlights I've had in the past year at the Kinnet...

Deliciously stir-fried Kale & Mushroom aptly seasoned with sweet Caramelised Onion! The Multigrain bread is SO GOOD - wonderfully chewy, packed with poppy seeds! Contrary to the (first) impression most Multigrain bread gives, this is not dry at all, it's so soft and tasty.
I've always loved the bread served at Kinnet and am so so glad I gave this sandwich another try before Kinnet closes on 5/9 --- 'cause the same sandwich was a bit over-toasted & dry when I first gave it a try a few months ago.
While I've ordered the <Seared Chicken Bowl> for my friends a few times, I've never tried it. It does look very fresh and tasty though! A warm option for some who don't feel like having a cold salad.
Services at Kinnet has always been excellent --- the waitresses and waiters are attentive to your dietary requirements, and are patient in explaining the ingredients. They are quick in refilling your water, and I was warmly welcomed some towels for drying myself up when the Red Rainstorm Signal was up.

The <Crab Meat Eggs Benedict> is SUPER DELICIOUS & FILLING.

Two poached XL size eggs - look at that oozy egg yolk on fresh Tomato 🍅 + creamy mashed Avocado , and blending with the generous portion of crab meat. The "yoghurt" dressing is less buttery than the traditional Hollandaise sauce, and matches with the lightly seasoned crab meat well.

I LOVE FIGS and already ordered this when I was having a browse at the daily selection of salads at the salad display.
Kinnet consistently serves the freshest ingredients and their food always meets (if not exceeds) my expectations --- this <Fig Tart> is rich in flavour just as its beautiful shade of pink, and very "figgy" indeed. Bit too sweet for my liking though.

This <Matcha Cheesecake> is wonderfully smooth, aptly sweet & deliciously matcha flavoured, with an aftertaste / a hint of soya milk. The base is thin & light, nothing buttery, packed with some shredded coconuts. YUMMY!

"Low Calories Set Dinner" $238 for 2 courses: I had grilled veggie salad as starter & <Seared Halibut> as main.
Halibut was cooked on point: meat was beautifully tender & juicy, while the skin was perfectly balanced between cooked to crispy & staying chewy with the collagen in it. Overall seasoning was light & matches with the refreshing Mango salsa!
<Vegetable Curry>

LOVE, love, love Kinnet's veggie curry. One of my favourites in Hong Kong. I can't really take spicy food but this is all fine for me - lovely gingery & aromatic, it's spiced up with refreshing lemongrass. It comes in generous portion, and is served robustly nutty brown rice.
I still remember this was highly recommended by the waitress when I first tried Kinnet's dinner --- it was a very good recommendation indeed!

Honestly, I don't really know how to wrap this review up --- how I wish I could say "I look forward to trying new amazing dishes from the Kinnet".
Having said that, it only remains for me to say that: Kinnet, you'll be missed! Sorry that I haven't written a review or posted more pictures earlier. I had so many delicious meals and lovely memories with friends and family here. All the best to you!
