Love their flatbread so much that I have lost count of all the times I have visited -- it's simply my comfort food. Ever since I became a member about two years ago I have been topping up my card regularly. If you love vegetarian cuisine and want a change from icy cold salads, you'd enjoy the warm flatbread (wraps) in MANA! -- you could order from the menu, or customise your own with 4 toppings.It has taken me this long to write an openrice review for it becausea) I usually get a takeaway flatbr
It has taken me this long to write an openrice review for it because:
(a) I usually get a takeaway flatbread; and
(b) I cannot resist the temptation of unwrapping the warm flatbread and enjoying it right away, and usually end up getting zataar all over my fingers such that I don't want to hold my phone for taking pictures : P
Taking my time for a late lunch today so as to avoid the peak lunch hour, I decided to write a review.
我来MANA!的次数已经多到记不住。
喜欢MANA!的 flatbread,喜欢到两年前已经为佢而成为会员 : P
如果你想食轻食 / 简单素食,但又唔想太多生冷嘅沙律,你可以试下呢度嘅 flatbread : ) 可以喺menu上拣,或者自选4种配料。
由于通常买外卖,或者急不及待享受暖笠笠嘅flatbread,所以一直未写食评。
今日 一个人静静的 2:20pm左右 躲到 MANA 避世半刻 -- 心里想著想著,就想到食评了。
I came alone at around 2:20pm today, and found a seat at the very back of the shop.
There are about 6 stools at this part of the shop
- it's pretty packed and not that comfortable, but it's the quietest part of the shop.
You could look up to the greenery
and
the blue sky
(oh well at least it wasn't raining during my visit)
- what more can one ask for in the heart of Central, one of the most bustling areas in HK?
Just give yourself a moment of mindfulness, and enjoy a light, simple and refreshing vegetarian lunch :] Indeed, MANA! is a cosy restaurant which may not be best suited for big groups.
Nevertheless, if you could grab a seat at the big table up the stairs (or visit during non-peak hours), the seating is decent and the ambiance is chillaxing.
As usual, I ordered a customised flatbread, with Slow dried Tomatoes, Kale, Roasted Veggies, and Purple Yam this time.

Avocado 牛油果, Grilled Tofu 烤豆腐, Portobello Mushrooms 烤大磨菇, Purple Yam 紫薯, Kale 羽衣甘蓝, Roasted Veggies 烤野菜, Slow dried Tomato 慢干蕃茄.
Slow dried Tomatoes is my all time favourite, and a healthier option to satisfy my cravings for sun-dried tomatoes (which are often a bit too salty and oily). It's as juicy as fresh tomatoes, and yet delightfully stronger in taste and aroma.
A slight problem with having slow dried tomatoes, portobello mushrooms and/or roasted veggies as fillings is that the juice may leak through the flatbread
-- Remember to keep your napkins handy ; )
That's why I'd recommend including a leafy filling like kale or baby spinach to soak up the juice a bit, or any other fillings to give your flatbread some crunchiness / texture. Personally, I prefer kale to baby spinach as it gives a nice crunchiness to the flatbread! Grilled tofu tastes delicious after soaking up the juice too!
I once ordered all three of slow dried tomatoes, portobello mushrooms and roasted veggies in one flatbread, and had a pretty difficult time eating it with a reasonable degree of table manners : P
Not going to do that again!
慢干蕃茄,烤大磨菇 同 烤野菜 都比较多汁。
如果你拣佢地做配料,记住放定纸巾出来 : P
亦可以配一款绿叶菜(例如羽衣甘蓝 或 波菜),或者烤豆腐,去吸咁d汁。都好好味架
Back to this flatbread -- I find the lightly roasted purple yam a healthier (and guilt-free) substitute of chips.
More importantly, it makes this veggie flatbread more substantive -- if you are the kind who can live on a salad for lunch, a half size could pretty much keep you going for the afternoon : )
紫薯 好味又饱肚,又唔会有食薯条果种 怕热气 / 罪恶感 : P
如果 你平时食沙律做午餐就够饱,咁加咗紫薯做配料嘅话,MANA!嘅半份flatbread都几够饱~
Look at the beautiful shade of purple!

-- I remember there were bell pepper at times.
As a regular customer, I find the quality and size of flatbreads here pretty consistent - as far as I remember there was just once or twice that I found the flatbread slightly burnt, or that the flatbread felt lighter than usual. Services are fine all in all - the staff are always happy to help and to explain the menu - and are reasonable during peak hours.
Well, it seems that I'll keep topping my card up regularly : P
题外话/补充资料:
p.s. the half flatbread only costs me $45 as I get a 5% off with my membership card
