Jackfruit nuggets by Plantropy

I was at The CHFA exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre and was blown away by all the plantbased foods. Got lotsa swag and met some new friends (and old). Our friends at Plantropy hooked us up with delicious golden nuggets! These lil nuggs crisped up nicely in the air fryer. They have the crisp

Haidilao Hotpot in Richmond BC

Haidilao Hotpot has some vegan options like broth, veggies, tofu and various other soy-based ingredients. The value wasn’t quite there at the Richmond location, but it was very tasty and the ambience was nice. Back in 2013, I remember the China branch had more perks while waiting to be seated though. One of my fave

Salty Peppery Vegan Chikin Veggies and Rice

This tasty dish uses the mock chicken from Happy Veggie World in Richmond, which I’ve blogged about before. I love the chewy meaty texture of the mock chicken, which I just deep fried, seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, mushroom seasoning powder, and chili powder. Topped it all off with fresh chopped cilantro

Vegan Mapo Tofu following Will Yeung’s Easy Recipe

This tasty comfort food is a piece of cake to make! William Yeung from YouTube has a 9-minute video demonstrating how to make this savoury, spicy, and zingy tofu dish. The dish has that soft tofu mouth-feel and a satisfying sauce covered over white jasmine rice. It’s all topped off with some aromatic chopped green

Crispy Chik’n Nuggets from Happy Veggie World

These delicious little nuggets are super crispy and remind me a lot of Yves chick’n nuggets, but at a fraction of the price! You can buy them bulk from Happy Veggie World in Richmond. They are imported from Taiwan, and in my experience, that means darn good quality! Taiwanese culture tends to be pretty health

Homemade Spicy Lemongrass Chick’n Noodle Soup

On the weekend, I juiced up some jumbo carrots in my Breville juicer to make delicious creamy carrot juice (I find the jumbo carrots are much sweeter than regular carrots). With the leftover carrot pulp, I decided to make a soup stock out of it. It was really simple, just add it to a pot

O’love Greek Kitchen on Hastings & Warwick: the Vegan-friendly Goddess Bowl!

I was SkipDashing (doing SkipTheDishes and DoorDash deliveries) when I had a spur of the moment decision to take a break and see what yummy food I could get into my belly…

Hyack Sushi

Delicious deep fried tofu and avocado mango rolls. The agedashi was nice and crispy with a sweet and savoury soy glaze on top, all over a bed of mixed veggies (broccoli, cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrots. They have a lot of vegan options. So, next time you’re in New West, you may want to give

TACO DEL MAR

It was great to find that Taco Del Mar has plant based meat options now. However, I found the Beyond Meat crumble very tough and dryyy. I would not want to eat it again. I hope that Beyond improves their formula, because I do love their burger patties. I have yet to try their breakfast

Beyond Meat Burger at White Spot

Beyond Meat Burger at White Spot
Writing this blog post makes me want another one…Oh gawdddddddd…The weird thing is that this beyond patty didn’t taste like the ones from the grocery stores or A&W, or even other restaurants that carry it. I’m not sure why the texture and flavour seemed so different to me. Visually, it looked like it was deep fried and more pale or something.
