'Café De Coral' is a restaurant that was originally founded in Hong Kong in 1968 that has gone on to open more than eight brands under its name, and it has now ventured into creating vegan pork dishes. The vegan pork dish is a 'Claypot Rice' dish, which is a popular Chinese comfort dish. The new pork claypot rice from Café De Coral was created in collaboration with 'OmniFoods,' a food-tech company committed to creating sustainable eating patterns.
OmniFoods has a plant-based pork product known as 'OmniPork,' which was the basis for this new vegan pork dish. This is a large step for plant-based meats because it is bridging the gap between iconic cultural dishes and alternative meat products. This product now offers consumers across the many locations of Café De Coral and its sub-brands the opportunity to eat more sustainably.
