Where to Get the Impossible™ Burger in Hong Kong

Vegan and vegetarian diets are now more frequent than ever, and in a city where meat is embedded so deeply in its culture, Hong Kong is learning to embrace the concept of meat-free alternatives. International brands are cropping up and formulating innovative solutions to tasty meals which may be just as tasty as their meat predecessor. An Impossible Burger (113g serving size) uses 96% less land, 87% less water, and 89% less greenhouse gasses compared to ground beef from a cow. That means a saving of 7 square meters of land, 3 kg of CO2, and 84 litres of water for each Impossible Burger ordered. With World Burger Day (28th May) around the corner, We round up the best burger joints in Hong Kong serving the plant-based dish, which can also be indulged in year-round.
