Fat Choy
Uphill, just behind PMQ, lies this little gem. Don’t let the “Fat” in the name dissuade you. They’re in fact primarily a salad restaurant. Fat means “lots” and Choy means “vegetable” in Cantonese. The idea behind the restaurant is to provide a friendly and warm environment with as low a carbon footprint as possible, where diners may enjoy good food sourced from HKFYG Organic and other local farms. Healthy, farm-fresh and altruistic? Yummo.
