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
Asia (to be overly broad) is far advanced in vegan food.
I went to similar places in Taiwan. There, some folks ate vegan for religious (Buddhist?) reasons, and some did for health. But even folks who ate meat (like me) would go get vegan just cuz it was tasty.
yeah theres tonnes of vegan places here, and likewise i think a lot of it is because the version of buddhism that is widely practiced here has two plant-based days a month, so its much more normalised and it means a lot more people know how to cook vegan food and make it delicious
I would argue due to many factors, their cuisine is able to have a lot of stuff that could be meat be changed to non meat products.
