We went to a vegan Buddhist restaurant here in Toronto and they had a really cool asian market in the back! King’s Café restaurant first opened in 1996. It is located at the heart of the Kensington Chinatown area in Toronto. The restaurant has a modern interior atmosphere and their cuisine varies between Chinese, Japanese, Indian, with vegan and vegetarian meals. All dishes are made fresh from scratch.

Put the “shrimp” in etoufee, jambalaya or a simple “creole” of okra and tomatoes with onion, garlic and hot sauce or Tony Chachere’s creole seasoning.
Love red bean sweet buns. Similar to filled mochi cakes in Japan. So good!
I LOVE vegan fish. It’s nothing like salmon but depending on how you cook it, might be reminiscent to fish slices cooked chinese style. To me it’s just a completely new taste and texture that is so yummy. Try it stir fried with a black pepper or sambal sauce! P.S. don’t microwave the steamed red bean buns without a damp paper towel covering it because it will get dry. Best is to steam it 🙂
Why no onions and garlic actually just because of the strong smell. Smelly breath is considered to be inappropriate to get into sacred places and it bothers to get to the state of void. But I know so many buddhists who eat onions and garlic, even meat or fish (you know they suppose not to “kill”). It’s all depends on kind of Buddhism you believe.
You had me at vegan shrimp 😍. If only I lived in Canada 🙄
Many people turned vegan/ vegetarian in Asia because of the religion, so they don’t eat garlic and onion. And for the “suitable for vegan”, the idea of vegan is not quiet popular in Asia, so before, all people use the name “vegetarian” as long as you don’t eat meat, garlic and onion. Now vegan are more and more popular, people learned that there’s a new word for food that also don’t contain milk and egg, so they add the labels on. This is how all this happened 😂
Love from Taiwan. ❤️❤️❤️
And and and!! I recommend hot chili, sesame oil w white vinegar dipping sauce for dumplings!!! My personal favo😋
Some folk avoid onions and garlic because they inflame worldly passions.
