Its name does not do justice to the new restaurant’s straightforward approach to the healthy lifestyle
With the increasing popularity on eating ‘clean’, plant-based diets and advice on healthy dining are currently all the rage. But it is important to remember to eat well for all the right reasons, whether it’s for the benefit of one’s well-being or for the good of the environment, and making such changes to your lifestyle requires taking initiative. To that end, one may as well do it after serious consideration rather than for the sake of riding on a fad.
Confusion, a new vegan eatery, is a timely opening in Sheung Wan serving plant-based options. The petite restaurant covers everything from burgers and wraps to snack platters and desserts, served in a small, square room on Jervois Street where white walls and brick-red tiles set a casual ambiance. While simple, the eatery generously seats 25, from small tables for four to high chairs. The restaurant can be tight at full capacity at peak hours but turnover ia high and guests should be able fit in rather comfortably.
The one-page menu at Confusion features a simple collection of plant-based options, with additional daily-specials on a board beside the seating area. Soups change by variety every day. We began our meal with 1000 layer tofu with Sichuan sauce, where a piece of deep-fried firm tofu is sliced and served alongside a handful of chopped scallions and spicy chilli condiment, which gives a mild level of heat.
