HI Fiona,
It was a great event! Please see below the story and some photos attached, if you'd like to post this on Indigo where appropriate and on the gallery, I will leave this into your capable hands!
Thanks again for the contribution. We really had a good and inspiring time!

Encouraged by Informa`s One Planet Eating initiatives, the Hong Kong team got together at HOME to share a few healthy tapas, organic cocktails and be inspired by Christian Mongendre, our Guest Speaker, who created HOME. You can check him out: www.lifestyleasia.com/470121/tastemakers-christian-mongen...
In balancing mind and body, HOME - Eat to Live strives to use only organic produce whenever possible. Much of our ingredients are sourced locally from a network of farms and our food is made fresh daily. Our menu aims to appeal to everyone. We believe that healthy, plant-based foods should be tasty, filling, and nutritious. We offer vegan, gluten free & raw options, including healthy desserts and organic cocktails. We are committed to supporting a sustainable, plant-based lifestyle, collectively lowering our carbon footprint and preserving our earth's fresh water supply through a plant-based menu, mindful ingredient sourcing, eco-friendly packaging and practices.
During the talk, Christian raised awareness about recycling, compost, biodegradable materials like the plastic they use, from corn, LED lights which create no heat.
He also told us about the importance of eating more plant based food, and the impact on our planet. As a very demanding person, he wanted to create a vegetarian and sustainable restaurant and also bring taste and colour to our plates, with no processed food. Christian also pointed out the menu of HOME, each dish is called by animals in danger: Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Open Faced Toast, Manta Ray Salad Bowl, Siberian Tiger Earth Bowl, Northern White Rhino Sliders , Hawaiian Monk Seal Flatbread...
The team was very engaged and questioned him around the cost of eating healthy, being higher than eating meat. At HOME, they try to educate their customers about the origin of the products they use, Kale is one example, they were the first restaurant to import Kale but as demand grows, price goes down and we reach economies of scale. To make 'Healthy food' affordable, the market demand need to change and it is starting to change.
Finally, we asked him for advice around Pledges we should all make:
- Wellbeing = Food, "you are what you eat" , what you are eating to regenerate your body
- How are you breathing: Try to take time and be conscious of your breath
- Try Meditation
- Drink high quality water and not distilled
- Exercise and organise more events like 'Walk the World'
- Cut down on sweets and opt for healthier snacks
- Choose an organic range of teas
- Recycle
- Having LED lights
- And last but not least, we all agreed to at least TRY: Meat Free Monday !
