Thanks for including vegetarian spots to eat in HCM city!!! Can we please have more vegetarian restaurant reviews in the future? Great work!

My Vietnamese wife is Buddhist- for the past year I have been following vegan dates with her - I am so amazed by how wonderful the variety and quality of vegan food is here in Vietnam

It’s so impressive how delicious it can be

Chad The cut or thai thing is mắm Thái. Fermented fish Thailand style. In vegetarian dishes, they shred green papaya that you see and maybe pineapple, cucumber red chillies for spices.

Ko phải cá lên men kiểu thái gì đâu bạn ơi. Là đu đủ thái sợi nên mới gọi là mắm thái ấy, chứ không liên quan đến nước Thái.

An is really tasty, can rack up a decent bill though, but as you said Chad, it's a "clean" taste and nice change up from the usual! Thanks for the vid! Will try out the one opposite the temple in D4 one of these days.

Just to clarify did you say all these dishes are vegan? I don't consider Vietnamese cuisine meat heavy, but I wonder how it could be vegan due to fish sauce flavouring. This is the first video I have seen featuring Vietnamese vegetarian dishes. Props to you for creating unique content.

I don't like the taste of meat or fish, that's why I always have my reservations about traveling to Asia because even if you don't use meat, I have heard that you do use pork or fish sauces. Are there purely vegan or vegetarian places in Vietnam that don't taste like meat or fish?

@skatingcanuck9837

Ай бұрын

@@maggie6100 Your question is a bit confusing. It's not clear if you are a vegetarian or vegan. Presuming you are on a plant based diet you might have trouble. There is vegan fish sauce these days but not all restaurants that offer vegetarian options use them. Btw a lot of people who don't like fish are afraid of fishy flavours, yet if they ate a dish with a little fish sauce would never have known unless told. TBH unless you are willing to be more flexible you will struggle. You will have to limit yourself to the major cities in East Asia and South East Asia. It seems most vegans have had to compromise with vegetarian options at times.

Chad, check out Shamballa in District 1

A lot of Viet imitation meat uses skin tofu. They would wrap the skin round and round to create multiple layers, and that helps to give the tight texture. Any imitation food with 'fat' probably has some white jello like agar agar. Goi Thai, they may be trying to tell you Thailand-style salad. Many people say Thai for short.

I hope your channel blow up in views because you deserve it. A lot of good information! My family are buhdists so we grew up knowing these dishes and many many more. I realised the non asian, do not know about these vegan dishes. Their food is so boring and not very innovative at all. Just a bunch of vegetables thrown together in a salad. For anyone living abroad, especially in Australia, if you see a temple, you can come in on Saturday, they usually sell or give free vegan food. If you have money, you can buy to support the temple while having great food.

Chay is purely veganism. I've never seen anyone who "ăn chay" consume egg or milk. This practice is influenced by one of the precept of Buddhism, that is to respect all living beings.

@trinhkhanh2618

It depends on which type of "ăn chay" you are pursuing. There is "ăn chay trường" (long-term vegetarian) and some ăn chay trường people i know, they eat eggs and milk as well, but not meat, fish,etc...

@yennhiphan1584 "Chay" means "Vegetarian" that you can consume egg, milk and honey in the recipes. "Thuần chay" means "Vegan" that you can't consume egg, dairy products and honey. Bạn nói tu hành đạo phật thì phải ăn thuần chay thì mình thấy ko đúng lắm. Mình có nhiều bạn bè theo Phật nhưng vẫn là Vegetarian và tụi nó chỉ kiêng hoàn toàn vào rằm và mùng 1 thôi. Hơn nữa ko phải đạo Phật nào cũng ăn thuần chay đâu ạ. Bên Nam Tông ăn mặn, Bắc Tông mới ăn chay.

No fish sauce no life. If you're vegan, there's vegan fish dauce

Going to any country out of India makes it really hard to get vegan food. Otherwise in India 80% of the food is vegan, 10% is vegetarian and the remaining 10% is meat. and you'll never notice a lack of flavor

Some vegan meats are better than real meats. 😋

My mom makes vegan food a lot growing up because we're Buddhist

Chay is honestly more veganism than vegetarianism for over a thousand years due to our venerable Buddha. Even though the French brought over dairy products, we still prefer nature’s cream like coconut milk. Glad the West has finally discovered plant milks, now they just need to incorporate REAL leafy greens…lettuce ain’t hittin’ the spot.

Chuyện trên đời quan trong là mục đích, không phải hình thức. Không phải ăn chay là để tránh sát sinh hay sao ? Đồ ăn chay có mô phỏng món mặn cũng có sát sinh đâu, tại sao nó lại quan trọng? Người tu ngoài tránh sát ra thì còn phải biết buôn bỏ những thứ nhỏ nhặt, sống thanh thản với đời. Tu ăn chay mà chi li chuyện nhỏ nhặt thì cũng sân si chả khác gì người không tu.
