Hundreds of thousands of Hongkongers took to the streets on the 17th anniversary of the establishment of the HK SAR to express their dissatisfaction with incompetent local politicians and chief executive CY Leung. The biggest protest march in a decade lasted over 8 hours and culminated in a peaceful sit-down protest in Central. #hongkong #689 #freedom

Megabites News: Plant Based Mayonnaise

Plant Based Mayonnaise

Something new and different – Just Mayo, a ‘plant based mayonnaise’ that is egg-free contains zero cholesterol and is gluten and soy free… Sounds a little too good to be true. Well oddly in this case it’s not. Hampton Creek a US company has spent over two years researching a replacement for the egg-based emulsifiers found in traditional mayonnaise. After screening over 1500 plants they found it was possible to use a specific variety of the Canadian yellow pea (a type of split pea) to replicate the binding properties of the eggs to create a ‘plant-based’ mayonnaise.

Just Mayo is exclusively available in four flavors: Original, Chipotle, Sriracha and Garlic at Great in Pacific Place (although expect to find it in PARKnSHOP, Fusion, Taste, International , Gourmet and SU-PA-DE-PA stores soon). At the recent product launch Great’s Tim Broderick demonstrated by preparing a range of dishes that beyond the ‘plant-based’ hype Just Mayo is a tasty option for all.
