Ahimsa Buffet
Apart from North Point and Jordan, Ahimsa Buffet has recently opened its third location in Mong Kok. Ahimsa offers a fascinating array of Chinese dishes, fried dim sum, salads and vegan cakes (only available at the Mong Kok branch). And our favourite item goes to its famous savoury turnip cake. The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet only costs you $68, and is $108 during dinner time. What a great deal!
