9. Kuan Yin Vegetarian Restaurant
Kuan Yin Vegetarian Restaurant honours Buddhist tradition by naming their restaurant after the Goddess of Mercy. They also stay true to their name by only serving vegetarian dishes. An all-vegetarian menu isn’t the only way to honor Buddhism either. They refrain from using ingredients such as garlic and onion since Buddhists abstain from consuming strong smelling vegetables. Although their menu is handicapped by numerous ingredients, their food is surprisingly flavourful! We recommend their “Mutton” curry because it’s equally fragrant, aromatic and tender despite no meat, garlic nor onions.
