Outlying Islands - Hong Kong - page 430

EATING

While seafood dominates Lamma's culinary palate, the island offers the greatest choice of
eateries and cuisines of any of the Outlying Islands. Most people head directly to the
seafront stretch of Sok Kwu Wan, where fish rule the menus. Many of the restaurants offer a
free ferry back to Central if you dine at their establishment.
Yung Shue Wan, the most populated village, has a vast and eclectic range of inviting res-
taurants, mostly spread along its main street. There are a couple of good spots for refresh-
ment at the remote Mo Tat Wan and Hung Shing Yeh beaches.

Vegie foodies are in heaven at Bookworm, the granddaddy of Hong Kong's healthy and eco-
conscious dining scene. Tasty dishes include the dhal and salad combo, goat's cheese sand-
wich and shepherdess pie, which all pair well with the carefully selected organic wines. The
cafe is also a secondhand bookshop.

Just off Yung Shue Wan's main drag, locals and visitors kick back here with frosty beers and
plates of cheap, tasty Indian food in a plant-filled covered patio. A big TV makes this the
place to be when there's a football or rugby match on.
