In The Know with Peggy Chan

I am the Founder, Executive Chef and Managing Director of Grassroots Pantry and Prune Organic Deli & Workshop, a restaurant, cafe and workshop space through which I’m able to share my passion for organic, plant-based food with the community; support local sustainable agriculture, food-related NGOs, and help to educate the public about the issues that face our food systems today.

Veggie dumplings at Wang Fu, Posto Pubblico for the best arrabiata in town.

Cafe Gray at The Upper House.

I have no weekends! But when I do get a day off, Sai Kung for a hike out to Ham Tin Wan. If I’m able to sneak in 4-5 days of R&R, Como Shambala Estate in Bali.

Mushroom on Aberdeen Street is one of the cutest stores in town. Shambala in Wong Chuk Hang for wooden and antique furnitures. I do most of my clothing shopping online – One Teaspoon and Jenny Bird jewelry are one of my favourites.

Frankly I rarely do my own shopping and prefer spending money on travel and relaxation.

Walking the morning trail, yoga in between, watching a foreign film in the early AM solo at Broadway, spa sessions at the Landmark Mandarin, book browsing and cafe-ing at Coffee Academics in Repulse Bay.

Dried lizard on a stick from Des Voeux West. Just because.

Sham Shui Po for fabric, knick knacks and random shop browsing by MTR on a hot summers day. Cool down with an iced milk “yeen yeung” tea and snack on HK cha chaan teng’s famous peanut butter filled french toast.
