It is very difficult to find a very good vegetarian restaurant, especially in Hong Kong. I didn't have a lot of good dinning experiences of Western or Chinese vegetarian restaurants in Hong Kong or other countries. I eventually found one in Redondo Beach (Los Angeles)..."Green Temple". It got a good variety of yummy vegetarian dishes. They use tofu, beans, fresh vegetables, organic herbs, natural ingredients and a minimal of olive oil. It's very filling and wouldn't make you feel tired and sleepy after the meal. You still have the energy for the rest of the day. Some touches of Indian, Thai and Indonesian in the decoration of the whole restaurant. There's a little water fountain in the middle of the courtyard...very calm and quiet. The staffs are very friendly that made you feel like having dinner in a friend's house!
Last Saturday, my friend Laura came to visit L.A. We had lunch over Green Temple. I ordered a "The Four Bowl" with steamed vegetables, pinto beans, tofu and avocado; and served with tofu cream sauce. And Laura ordered a "Green Bowl" with green vegetables, pinto beans and brown rice; and served with tofu cream sauce. After that, we shared a hazelnut mousse cake. It's very tasty! Check out the dragon shots (tastes like mild Chinese herbal tea), hisbiscus tea and the fresh fruit juice as well.

Yep. This is a place that Vinny and I have been going to for years. I first took Alice here a few years ago and it's one of our favorite restaurants. It's hard to beat for good and simple vegetarian food. I also recommend "The Spot" in Hermosa Beach. A similar menu served there and it's supposedly Paul Mc Cartney's favorite restaurant in L.A.
