Veggies, Antiques, and Buddhism? Can it be? YES.

Being in HK has not been particularly inspiring for my cooking as most organic food is mummified in plastic and flown in from places that "follow rules" like the U.S., New Zealand, and Australia...

But, there is hope!!!  I've found www.veggiesf.com, a little cafe in the bustling heart of downtown HK run by the loveliest couple, Paul and Bess.  They are San Franciscans who run their cafe with lots of love, 50's antiques, and spiritual awareness.  It's my home away from home!  (And did I mention that they are SOOOOO CUTE!!!)

We Heart Cilantro!!!

In Ayurveda, cilantro (which is bitter and astringent) is considered cooling and cleansing.  It is balancing for everyone!  Yams, coconut and ginger especially like to party with the cilantro :) 

Cilantro enhances digestion and helps to strengthen liver function.  Yes, we heart Cilantro!!!
