My cousin Charlie picked us up from the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and brought us to a nearby mall called Taimall so we can have lunch and meet up with his brother Benjie.
It was exactly the same thing we did when I went to Taipei two years ago with some friends. That time we had shabu-shabu although I wanted to try this vegetarian restaurant. This time I decided to give it a go. Let me tell you how shocking this will be to my friends and family. I’m the last person who will eat in a vegetarian restaurant. Before I started my diet last year I barely ate veggies and only a few select kinds. It’s good that Charlie was also watching his health so he joined me in the restaurant while the others in our group looked for regular food in the fast food.
All the vegetarian food was laid out buffet style but choose wisely since your plate will be weighed and that’s the price you will pay.
There were so many tempting and unfamiliar veggies to choose from.
This is stewed bean curd roll. Yuuuum!
I swear Taipei has the sweetest sweet potatoes.
This is my boring brown plate filled with 3 kinds of tofu, different mushrooms and sweet potato. I wish I got more kinds of sweet potatoes but this plate really filled me up. I really, really enjoyed my vegetarian lunch sans green veggies.
My lunch cost me NT$79 or about P114 or US$2.65. Unlimited rice was available but I didn’t get any.
This is my cousin Charlie, my partner in crime for the whole day’s vegetarian meals.
His plate was more colorful. He let me try the tomatoes and I was blown away on how sweet it was.
My dad had oyster cake set which included fish ball soup and fried tofu.
My mom and aunt had these big bowls of shabu shabu with noodles, meat and veggies. Naturally they couldn’t finish it.
Thanks to my friend Jin for writing these info in Chinese for me.
