Cara Grogan is a model and co-owner of The Genie Concept juice bar
"My dad is from Switzerland so drinking wine is a big family thing. Food and wine mean celebration to us. I am also Australian so I'm a pretty good wine drinker, but I don't drink that much any more as I am quite healthy these days.
I have been detoxing for years and during my travels I experienced the juice bars in London, which is where I got the idea for (Universal Building, 5-13 New Street, Sheung Wan, tel: 2803 0369). It's very difficult to do this in Hong Kong because everyone lives a fast lifestyle. After thinking about it for a year, I decided to open it in April 2012.
I am a vegetarian but not a vegan; I still eat eggs and cheese. One of my favourites is (92 Wellington Street, Central, tel: 2851 1611) which has great, healthy options. I love their soups. The salads are great, and so are their chocolate truffles and pumpkin pie.
I love to go to Lamma Island and spend a day with my dog at the beach. I love to visit the dog-friendly (79 Main Street, Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island, tel: 2982 4838). They have a really tasty vegetarian shepherd's pie.
(12 Fuk Sau Lane, Sai Yin Pun, tel: 2873 3353) is my recent vegetarian discovery. I love to eat at places with great ambience and this particular cafe also welcomes pets, so I can take my dog along.
