The above vegetarian forms are designed to suit each individual and their physical condition.

The dishes here are prepared with basic, pleasant flavors and tend to be light and light. Some of the opening soups are not impressive. If the fragrant and fatty coconut curry is delicious with white rice, the fried spring rolls with pink sauce also create a feeling of excitement for the diners.

Other dishes such as bean sauce, fried tofu make the menu a bit monotonous and limited with familiar vegetarian foods. In particular, desserts need to be more harmonious and invest in taste.

Vejo

Nestled in a small house on the crowded Bat Dan street, the new vegetarian restaurant named Vejo is a place worth trying with an impressive and diverse menu.

Not defined as a traditional vegetarian restaurant, Vejo's menu is multicultural, rich and novel. Dishes such as Lap Thai or European-style pumpkin soup, Chinese-style dumplings can completely "attract" foreign guests. However, the appeal of these dishes is not really strong. With Vietnamese vegetarian dishes, Vejo boldly presents a few familiar dishes such as fried spring rolls, green rice sausage with pure Vietnamese flavors.

However, according to the staff, miso ramen is the most popular dish among customers. Talking more with the restaurant owner, Travellive learned that this is one of the restaurants that commits to not using MSG or industrial seasoning in the cooking process, but completely takes advantage of the sweetness of vegetables and uses raw spices such as salt, sugar...
