Though I often suggest avoiding some processed vegetarian food like artificial meat and some fried stuff, I couldn't resist trying the deep fried taro fish (photo 1) and the vegetarian platter - made of various deep fried bean curd food (photo 2). This time the shop didn't make the taro fish right as it was already deep fried and wasn't too crispy on the outside. 3. However, the pan fried turnip cake made it up and it's even better than those with Chinese sausage. The other dim sum were average. *I noticed a monk inside the restaurant. He chewed a bowl of plain rice over an hour. That reminded me of how the Buddhism taught about chewing food for a long time to appreciate the food, or be thankful for the food. This way we put it in practice for our thanks to the food given, instead of speaking out loud for thanking for the food while wasting the food or abusing it (i.e. cooking it so wrongly).

Good to go vegetarian once in a while.
But in fact Vegetarian food can be very greasy.
That's why I told my friends not to take those stuff. However, those served in the monasteries are not that greasy. They use more veggie and natural food. Just the vegetarian shops serve something pretty greasy. The monk I saw was taking a bowl of plain rice.
That is true.
Vegetarian food at Temple is very different from those at Veggie restaurants.
