"This creative new vegan concept from food blogger-turned-chef Hannah Che draws its inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine. Using Chinese philosophies — like herbal medicine, the five flavor profiles, and yin and yang — and cooking techniques from her cookbook The Vegan Chinese Kitchen, the chef serves elegant plates like five-spiced yuca-taro cakes topped with Sichuan dry pot brassicas and crystal dumplings stuffed with beets and shiitake mushrooms at monthly pop-ups. Surong also celebrates centuries old traditional Buddhist dishes, like Chinese vegetarian “goose” made of beancurd skin and julienned vegetables.
