When everyone's talking about how we spend like 1/3 of our lives sleeping and should therefore have quality sleep, we shouldn't forget about eating well too, given that we also spend a big part of our lives eating. Agree?So just in time, my friends gave a suggestion: MANA! Fast Slow Food, which offers healthy local organic food matching with ambiance that is quite zen and inspiring.I’ve been there several times these two months and below are a list of food that I’ve tried:MANA!

So just in time, my friends gave a suggestion: MANA! Fast Slow Food, which offers healthy local organic food matching with ambiance that is quite zen and inspiring.I’ve been there several times these two months and below are a list of food that I’ve tried:
MANA! Joy (Full: HK$75 / Half: HK$45) - I’ve always returned to this because it has my favourite ingredients — avocado, garlicnaise, tomatoes and mint — in a package I feel good after each bite that is clean and fresh, and I think it’s my body thanking me for eating well. Like all the other flatbread choices, it is organic oven-baked flatbread topped with Za’atar.MANA! Prana (Full: HK$85 / Half: HK$50) - with portebello mushrooms, slow-dried tomatoes, cucumber, fresh sprouts and mint. Needless to say, it’s a great option too that is more pungent due to the ingredients used. Prana in Hindi means “life-giving force”, similar to the name Mana itself.
Fries (HK$30) – handcut potatoes tossed in sea salt, a simple, comforting and fingerlickingly delicious snack. Though is a relatively not-so-healthy option, I still always order it as my little “side dish”. And of course, I always pick garlicnaise over the ordinary ketchup.
Babylon Shake (HK$55) - this is one of, if not the most frequently-ordered drinks that incorporates bananas, fig, tahini, soy milk and cinnamon. It has a super thick texture that pleases your empty stomach in no time, perfect for those (like myself) who’s often bothered by the urge of snacking even after a normal-sized meal.
The only thing that I dislike about Babylon is the crazy amounts of cinnamon because I really don’t like cinnamon… MANA!‘s staff commented on my post on Instagram though that I should order Inka Shake next time
Burger (no photo) (HK$70) - it is haloumi cheese, tofu, roasted veggies, portebello mushrooms, pickled cucumber in a wholewheat bun. Tasting as robust and delectable as normal burgers with meat, but absolutely guilt-free.
In short, this place proves that healthy (vegetarian) food are not necessarily dull and boring. Treat yourself well, notice a difference physically and spiritually.
