holy crap this is so damn good, why dont we have this back home
ive been going here so many times, and its always different food and so good, and its like standard vietnamese prices and not just a rich-people/white-people place. and such a nice communal sort of vibe as well
like imagine if this is what most people thought of when they think of vegan food, not just some sad bit of boiled broccoli or plain lettuce or whatever
This is all vegan?! Ohmygosh. I want to vacuum it all up into my mouth right now! I'm leery of east Asian food in general because I don't know what I'm looking at and I hate biting into some hunk of meat when trying to enjoy my food. I'm not vegan but, to my palate, meat always ruins a dish. But it's impossible for veggies to not be delicious. I could just wolf everything down without even looking!
i think east asian and indian food is some of the best for veganism, as its generally so easy to switch out small pieces of meat in a dish thats a mix of stuff like a stirfry or a curry for non-meat like tofu or mushroom or bits of fake meat or whatever. though yeah i agree theres that extra bit of worry that there might be actual meat mixed in (and also the worry about stuff being labelled 'vegetarian/vegan' with fish sauce/oyster sauce)
i think one of the difficulties for veganism in mayo countries is that white people food is so often one giant lump of meat with veggies just as a side, and its much harder to veganise a standard mayo diet, hence why there seems to be so much focus on fake chicken nuggets and burger patties and stuff like that
