Sustainable dining is starting to pick up in HK with more restaurants selling the concept of local and organically grown food. Located at HK's Zero Carbon Building in Kowloon Bay, Kelly & Moss is good example of an "eco-cafe".
I think one of the more effective designs is in how they use the outdoor space. I felt cool sitting under the patio umbrella and the fans were able to provide a decent breeze. The fall weather is great for sitting outside to enjoy the sunshine and cool breeze. Rather than styrofoam and plastic plates and cutlery,they opted for paper and bamboo ones. The typical polyethylene (PE) take-away cups are even made from biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) instead.

Their organic iced mocha was simple and refreshing, just coco powder and espresso. The only issue I had was the paper straw started to get a bit flimsy after awhile. The peach crepe cake was good too and the sweetness from the cake was nicely balanced by the sugarless mocha. Cheers to sustainable dining!
