What comes to your mind when someone asks you to give some suggestions on Ipoh food? Bean sprout chicken, kuey teow noodles or tau fu fah? What if the person is a vegetarian? Worry not, Ipoh has plenty of good options for vegetarians, the food that they offered taste as good as bean sprout chicken.
Since eating green has become a trend now, there are more and more people looking for vegan food. It is not only for the sake of following the trend, but also to live a healthier lifestyle. Hence, vegetarian restaurants are sprouting up across the country, including Ipoh. Let’s see which vegetarian restaurants are worth-a-try!
What should I avoid when ordering in a vegetarian restaurant?
Although a vegan diet seems healthy, there are some dishes considered “not-so-healthy”. For vegan beginners, they tend to order that kind of dish. This is because they still can’t get use of only eating vegetables and they need something unhealthy to satisfy their wants for meat. However, this is a big no no for your body.
When you’re eating at a vegetarian restaurant, please try to avoid something oily like fried tofu. Besides, do avoid processed food as well because you can’t get enough nutrients from processed food. It’s always better to order vegetables.
