I’ll write more about Vicky Lau’s restaurants in The Vancouver Sun and The Province but meanwhile, here’s a look of my dinner at her Hong Kong restaurant, Mora. I was super interested and curious as it’s a one-Michelin star/Green star restaurant built around tofu and soy products. Whaaat?! Yep. Soy milk. Yuba. Bean curd skin. Edamame. Miso. She makes her own soy milk and guess where she gets her non-GMO, organic soy beans? 🇨🇦!

It’s an inventive menu with bold flavour boosters enlivening the mellow soy products. It’s a soy love story.
I was very curious when @mora_hongkong launched during the pandemic . A fine dining restaurant dedicated to Soy ..? I assumed it would be vegetarian, I was wrong . I assumed the range of flavours might be limited , I was wrong .
The multi course menu traverses across layers of textures and despite soy being featured in every dish there was no issue with any monotony. Rather it was a terrific and delicious education .

I was very curious when @mora_hongkong launched during the pandemic . A fine dining restaurant dedicated to Soy ..? I assumed it would be vegetarian, I was wrong . I assumed the range of flavours might be limited , I was wrong .
The multi course menu traverses across layers of textures and despite soy being featured in every dish there was no issue with any monotony. Rather it was a terrific and delicious education .
My favourite dish was a perfect scallop accompanied by a fermented tofu clam jus which had a nice restrained funk to it , beneath the scallop was a layer of fresh tofu skin and garlic and Shiso oils brought the aromatics .
A bean curd tartlet started the meal , the tart shell also made of tofu skin could easily fool anyone that they weren’t having pastry , the filling contrasted soy with pumpkin and chestnut along with a pumpkin seed pesto .
Deep fried tofu wasn’t at all oily , matched with a powerful sesame sauce and tender local baby squid .
Abalone noodle was also a standout , the broth here stood tall , a combination of soy milk and chicken bouillon it was beautifully thick and creamy . This was very reminiscent to the mouthfeel of a good carbonara .
A choice of Roasted Duck or Crispy Threadfin for main course , both proteins were perfectly cooked , the soy components were hard tofu and smoked soy beans respectively.
Lap Cheong Sausage rice was a homely savoury finale , soy bean paste gave it excellent length on the palate .
Cannot go wrong with Tofu pudding as dessert , alongside Black rice ice cream and persimmon compote , this rounded out a truly enjoyable meal . Less
