Restaurant review: Supafood in Sheung Wan, a welcome addition to city’s healthy eating options
New addition to Hong Kong’s growing superfood scene is backed by the people behind Locofama and offers mostly organic menu, with meat from the US and Australia
With superfoods (nutrient-rich food considered beneficial for health) becoming mainstream, it’s no wonder that Supafood in Sheung Wan is proving popular with health-conscious diners.
The restaurant says its entire menu was designed by dietitians, so that all dishes are well-balanced in nutrients. Most of the ingredients are organic and sourced from overseas, including beef from Australia and pork from Becker Lane Organic Farms in the United States.
The menu offers salads, rice boxes, sandwiches, juices and smoothies. We liked the organic roasted 81-day Spanish chicken with lemon and pear (HK$88 for small) – a colourful mix of kale, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, feta, sunflower seeds and lentils, topped with shredded chicken and an appetising lemon garlic vinaigrette.
It also serves organic snacks: the supa powerball (HK$28)is a ball of oat flakes, raw cacao nibs, peanut butter, golden flax seed, coconut chips, honey and chia seeds. The restaurant says a powerball is 141 calories, and they’re so dense that two would make a filling meal.
