Han Lai Vegetarian Restaurant is an amazing vegetarian restaurant. Each dish is incredibly exquisite, showcasing the ingredients to their fullest extent and completely overturning my perceptions of vegetarian food.

As someone who usually eats meat, I was also attracted by the cuisine here, such as the Angelica Soup, which is very rich and has a wonderful strong aroma of angelica. The mildly spicy hot pot rice has rich layers and is full of fragrance. The baked rice cake with the dish has a chewy texture and rich flavor, which is fantastic. The desserts are also impressive, with the taro sago being incredibly rich!

The environment is spacious and comfortable, making it perfect for dining with friends or entertaining guests.

The variety of dishes is extensive, and the fried items, especially the sweet potato, have a very crispy and delicious coating. The fried king oyster mushrooms are also tasty. In addition to home-style dishes, there are some pickled vegetables, sushi, alfalfa rolls, and so on. The fried crispy pork chop is also very good. The dishes are not too salty and offer quite a variety. The black pepper I had today had a buttery flavor that was very fragrant. You can tell that care was put into the cooking. They also offer free sweet soup and broth. It's conveniently located next to the Songzhu Big Buyer in Beitun.

Today I ordered a lot again, and it was also my first time eating at this place. First of all, I want to say that the rice noodle with taro and the cold tofu are delicious!! The cold tofu is topped with plenty of vegetarian fluff, and the rice noodles contain lots of shredded taro. After eating, you can really feel that the owner must have put a lot of heart into it! The sesame oil noodles are also very good! I think the seaweed serving is quite large.

The fragrant chive fried rice I feel is a bit too dry, and the wonton soup I think is an average in between ordinary and good.

Overall, I would rate it 4.5 stars! I think it's quite tasty! But not super delicious! If I'm passing by the area again, I would probably go eat there again!

In the early days, Taipei's first funeral parlor was established near the Xingtian Temple station, leading to an increase in vegetarian dining options in the surrounding area.
Sen Don is located on Songjiang Road in the Jinzhou Street food district. It's a small establishment specializing in various flavors of vegetarian fried rice and fried udon. There is no seating, takeout only (the owner will ask if you eat eggs), and the wait time is not long.

This time, I ordered the Hawaiian fried rice, where the rice grains are distinct and not sticky at all.
The fried rice includes three-color beans, cabbage, and vegetarian meat floss. While the ingredients are simple, the wok flavor is strong, and the sweetness and sourness of the pineapple blend perfectly together. It tastes really high-quality and remains delicious even when cold. 😭
I recommend ordering a slight spiciness for your first time; don't easily challenge the medium spiciness. I consider myself someone who can handle spicy food, but the medium spice really was painful and made my nose run endlessly.
Overall, it's really delicious, a perfect portion for one!

🔸 Cash payment only (not sure if street payment options are still available).

Today I ordered a variety of dishes, and I think several of them are super delicious.
Recommendation 1: Lion's mane mushroom (Mexican flavor) - The seasoning from the restaurant is really super delicious, and the flavor is very fragrant! When you bite into it, the spicy aroma bursts out! Plus, the lion's mane mushroom is very tender and easy to chew! Everyone should definitely order this dish if you come!

Recommendation 2: Egg tofu and enoki mushrooms - The egg tofu is also very tender! Very delicious; I added the enoki mushrooms because I really like them, hahaha.

The other dishes are also very good! But they don't stand out as much as the ones mentioned above, and I think you can tell the owner to use a little less powder! The owner seems to add a lot, so it can be quite salty!

Near Beitou Market, next to Beitou MRT Station, there aren't many seats in the shop, but the customers are very considerate;
they return their trays after finishing their meals and leave without much waiting. Many local residents take food home too.

This time I dined in and ordered miso soup noodles. The broth is a bit salty, but the noodles are very chewy, and the amount of vegetables is more than sufficient. The best part? It's only 70 TWD for a bowl, incredibly affordable...
I also had lion's head meatball soup with rice. The thickening of the soup was quite standard, but the lion's head meatballs were very tasty (three meatballs per serving) and made from delicious tofu products.
And the highly recommended taro porridge from Google did not disappoint at all; the taro is cooked to a very creamy consistency with a fragrant aroma, but it's often sold out early.
I had previously tried their braised dishes (self-service for weighing and paying), but this time, I arrived too late and there was none left. I highly recommend the radish, bean curd pockets, and dried tofu to supplement protein!

Overall, the prices are extremely reasonable, making it perfect for students, office workers, or local residents. You can truly taste the owner's dedication in each dish. I wholeheartedly recommend it!😻❤️

Today I visited a famous barbecue restaurant in Huwei. We ordered a bowl of hot pot noodle soup, some blanched greens, and a lot of skewers.
For the skewers, I recommend the bacon rolls; the bacon is very tasty, and you can choose to wrap asparagus or enoki mushrooms in it. I think the hot pot noodle soup is also quite good.
I had a bit of purple rice cake, but I found it a bit hard, and every vegetable skewer had eggplant, so there was no need to order an eggplant skewer!
There aren't many seats here, but we were lucky to find a spot just as we arrived!
It might be because there are many vegetarian skewer shops in Taichung; although this one is good, it didn't impress me too much.

This shop used to be located at the intersection of Nongquan Road and Hongzhi Road. The previous store was too small and had only a few seats. Now, the new location is spacious and comfortable! It looks very bright and clean.

Today, I ordered potstickers, braised ramen, stinky tofu ramen, and a side dish (dried tofu with kelp). The dried tofu with kelp side dish is a small plate of braised treats that are heated up, and it’s very tasty too! The ramen in the photo has extra noodles, so it's a bigger bowl.

This time I didn't have the noodle dumplings. The noodle dumplings at this place are colorful! It's mentioned on the menu that the colors come from natural fruits and vegetables. I’ve had them before, and the texture is also quite good!^^

Near the Wu-ri train station, the business is quite good. Although the dishes at the buffet are mostly homestyle meals, they are all quite tasty. The eggplant is cooked very well, and the stir-fried greens and pickled mustard greens have a great home-cooked flavor. There’s also a soup available for 30 NT dollars or free soup to drink. Sometimes, the counter sells some ready-made vegetarian snacks as well. The only downside is that the portion of rice served is not very generous; even the large bowl is just a regular serving size. If there were a bit more vegetables offered, often the rice would be gone before the side dishes are finished! 😆

This was my first time eating Korean vegetarian cuisine in my life. I don’t think the prices of the dishes were too high. Today, I ordered: Korean kimchi rice cake stew, kimchi-flavored bibimbap, and kimchi pancakes.

In my opinion, the ranking is: pancakes > bibimbap > rice cake stew. The texture of the pancakes reminded me of the oyster omelet I used to eat when I had meat; it was crispy and fluffy!? In short, it was super delicious! I also thought the bibimbap was very tasty—there were plenty of ingredients and variety, and the crispy rice was also very good! The rice cake stew was tasty too, but compared to the first two, it didn’t impress me as much.

In conclusion, this is a Korean vegetarian restaurant that is worth eating at and I would visit again!
