Summary

Time flies like an arrow. I still remember the first time I wrote the blog is about the restaurant in the Student Active Center. It’s absolutely a trial not only for my writing skills but also for my ability to find fairly-charged and delicious restaurant for you guys. Actually I don’t expect you to eat in the vegetarian restaurant for every meal, but I think eating vegetables are beneficial for you and for our earth. Maybe you’ve heard that the water needed for producing a kilogram of beef is fifty times as much as that of producing one kilogram of vegetable(or rice), so trust me: substitute vegetable for meat can more or less help our earth. Also, you will definitely feel uncomfortable when you eat so much cholesterol and grease, having some plates of vegetables will improve your living quality, seriously! So just follow my blog and find out those delicacies.

    In these weeks I have posted buffets, cafeteria, and trust me every restaurants have its special dishes and atmosphere, the distinctive flavor is always the reason that make me go there for the second time, third time. As a consumer, I will tell you that the vegetables are often cooked much better in vegetarian restaurants. They know how to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, and maybe that’s why you seldom pick up vegetables in your lunch box(because some cooks are only good at dealing with meat). And as a vegetarian, I know it can be a little hard for you to eat a whole meal without a piece of meat. But you’ll get used to it and you will figure out that it is actually delicious as the different cooking style are used. Don’t be afraid of trying!

    Honestly, I’m glad to be a pioneer looking for secret restaurants and there are always amazing dishes waiting for me. Hope you’ll enjoy my posts!

Week9 O'life beverage

Hey guys, this week I decided not to introduce restaurants any more, I want to share you a special beverage, featuring organic ingredients for each cup of tea. In Taiwan, you can easily figure out many beverages located around us, but don’t you feel a little scared after so many food scandals? Can you promise that the dishonest vendor will never sell the tainted tea leaves? If you just want to grab a cup of iced tea in a hot summer day or a cup of hot ginger milk tea in a cold weather, O’life is definitely a good place to go. It not only provides leaves without pesticide residue but also additive-free ingredients. You can never find another beverage that selects their produce and tea leaves so hard. The only shortcoming is that it’s at 台北市大安區師大路68巷12號（仁愛眼鏡店對面巷底）which is a little far from NTU(QQ). So let's cut to the chase and see what I ordered.

pearl milk tea with coconut jelly:
the pure milk coming from 主恩farm where cows eat fresh pesticide-free grass  mixes perfectly with the sweet honey. The refreshing drink is worth recommended for you who like milk tea!


Osmanthus honey:
if you are absent-minded all day, try a cup of this, it will help you concentrate on things easier .By the way, don't add coconut jelly(warning), and it'll be great.

Hey guys! I find it very interesting that vegetarian restaurants are always situated neighboring. This week, I found another vegetarian restaurant 綠蔬next to溫州公園. This restaurant has lots of dishes for you to choose from. The price depends on the weight you pick. And there are some concepts they persist in: healthy food, participation of social issues, helping the underprivileged minority… You can see their love and passion at every part of the restaurant. So, let’s take a look at their menu and dishes.

The ingredients are all seasonal, and the dish they cooked are high-level, you can’t stop after tasting it. What’s more, if you go there on the weekends, you can order their special meal (only served on the weekends)!

At first, I thought it was just a bakery, featuring cookies and vegetarian bread. But when I went to the other side of the shop I surprisingly discovered that there are also people eating and chatting there. Finally, I got a chance to have lunch there with my friends who came from Xinzhu. In fact, I felt guilty when I took a glance at the menu (cuz it’s about 200~400 for a meal). However, I could only take things when they come. By the way, the dishes are big portion and delicious as well. So let me introduce you some dishes I ordered.

Hence, this week I’m going to show you a special restaurant named “彩椒廚房”, the map is down below. There are many to choose on the menu, and the flavor of the dishes may let you get obsessed with. Today I would like to introduce two of the dishes that most impress me.

1. Forces pot(韓式部隊鍋)：A kind of hot pot with kimchi(泡菜), rice cake, vegetables, cheese ... It will definitely change your thought of vegetarian. What’s more, it only costs $120 to taste it, get your stomach ready!
