very sad to learn that “loke woh yuen vegetarian restaurant” and “Deli-Vege” have closed down.
I am a veg*n. Many times I find veg*n more expensive than non-veg*n food. Maybe some societies and temples can help subsidise cost/operations to encourage more people to dine in Vege restaurant 🙂
When i bring friends to veg*n restaurants, quite a few friends commented that the service sucks.
Oh dear… I havn’t had enough of Loke Woh Yuen yet…
Maybe some vege places are slightly more dear because the way the food is prepared costs more? Sadly, it’s true that the old school kind of veg*n places tend to be less professional in customer service. Then again, old school anything is often like that too.
:-S
I just find it a bit of a “mockery”
that vegetarian stalls often sell more mock meat than real veggie.
I guess, mock meat is fine,
for someone who is attempting to become a vegetarian, but isn’t Buddhist vegetarian more about being aware & in control of our cravings, especially the “pleasure” of meat?
Isn’t eating something that taste like the real thing, still show one’s attachment to the real thing?
I think vegetables taste great.
Then again, it’s an acquired taste, I guess.
Or rather, an unlearning process,
necessary to clear all the “good” tastes we’ve enjoyed,
before we can truly enjoy what food actually taste like.
PS: I hate veggies when I was young.
Vegetarian restaurants should learn from the Indians. They are really about making the vegetables do what they are good at than to bend them to force fit our pre-existing notions of meat. In the end, we only end up with a substitute but the real thought of eating vegetables as vegetables do not surface. The food has changed becos the heart has changed for the better. But has the mind changed yet?
Here are thoughts to share about mock meats:
