| General Information
| -------------------
|
| All soya milk (called soy drink) has added oil, and some are made from
| soy protein isolate rather than soya beans. Yuck! None of them are any
| good. Surprisingly it is readily available at all the supermarkets,
| typically with a dozen different brands to choose from.
|
| Australia does not have any vegan cheeses. All? soy-cheeses are made
| with animal rennet (in addition to dairy casein).

Byron Bay
---------
A vegetarian's paradise. Residents call it "the doorway to the
cosmos." Surf shops, naturopathic clinics, vegetarian cafes, and craft
merchants fill the storefronts on Jonson Street, the main drag. On a
community billboard, most "roommate wanted" ads require vegetarian
nonsmokers. This community is what it is today because of the drove of
alternative minded people who came here attracted by the hippies who
had settled in Nimbin (60 miles away) after the Aquarius Festival held
there in 1973.

The site of the 1973 Aquarius Festival (the Australian version of
Woodstock). A large group of hippies who attended the concert liked
the area so much that they stayed. The centre of town consists of a

the Age of Aquarius.

Supposedly there are over 100 Chinese vegetarian restaurants in
Hong Kong. If you know of any, please send me a listing.
Most Chinese and Thai restaurants can make dishes meatless if you ask
them (Cantonese for vegetarian is Sihk Chai). Make sure you tell them
you don't eat seafood (or eggs).
| The easiest way to spot vegetarian places in HK (they rarely have
| English signs), is to look for Buddhist symbols.

India
______________________________________________________________________
India was the hardest place to remain a vegan. True, vegetarianism is
common, but veganism is not. I found myself repeating time after time
"we don't eat cheese, yogurt, milk, or ghee (clarified butter)," but
the yogurt and cheese just kept on coming. They explained, "but it's
only in the sauce." Living in such a poor nation, most Indian
restauranteurs usually just take the meal back to the kitchen, remove
the chunks of cheese, stir the yogurt into the sauce, and return the
same dish. As they can't afford to take a loss on the meal, they felt
like they did the best they could.
- Vegan world traveller Jed Civic in an article in the Sept/Oct 1993
Vegetarian Journal.

Indonesia
______________________________________________________________________
The following is more or less taken from a Vegetarian Times article
written by Wayne Caravella.
There is always an abundant supply of fresh tropical fruits, but if
you really want to eat at a restaurant, expect the following
conversation:
You: "I am orang-vegetarian (vegetarian). I do not eat any daging
(meat), ikan (fish), ayam (chicken), or telur (eggs)."
Waiter: "How about nasi goreng (a traditional Indonesian dish of
fried rice with chicken)?"
You: Knowing where this is heading, you switch to plan B. "I would
like to order a plate of sayur direbus (plain boiled
vegetables) and nasi putih (plain boiled rice). No terasi
(shrimp paste), no ajinomoto (MSG), and no oil (they always
use too much coconut oil). Just plain vegetables cooked in
water, not fried."
After a short while you are served plain white rice and a bowl of
vegetables in a clear, oily, salty broth, probably chicken broth with
MSG. Eat only the rice and switch to plan C, which will be successful.
Plan C consists of feigning slight illness. Ethical? Maybe. Logical?
Well, it works. If you choose plan C, you can (to suit your individual
preferences) later order specific local condiments that will liven up
your otherwise bland meal, such as gado-gado (spicy peanut sauce), and
tempeh, which is often often served deep-fried and crispy for dipping
in the gado-gado. Also you can order chop chai tidak telur, tidak ayam
- fried rice and vegetable stir-fry; no egg, no chicken. Be careful
however because the local tempeh, although very tasty, may be full of
small stones.

Japan
______________________________________________________________________
It is *very* difficult being a vegan in Japan. Most vegetarian
restaurants include fish in their definition of vegetarianism, and
they include it in *everything*. I was told "but they are only little
fish." They have no understanding of the concept over there since they
do not really classify seafood as meat. They have so many categories
for seafood that it is very difficult to explain all the exclusions
without missing something. Even the restaurants that serve Buddhist
food include fish in the meals. And when I say all these restaurants
include fish, it is not only in the form of flesh but as fish stock,
fish flakes and any other variation you may not think of.
You *may* be able to get true Buddhist (ie. vegetarian) food at some
of the Buddhist temples. I can not vouch for this though. There are
many forms of vegan sushi (Norimaki & Kuppamaki) you can get as well
as Onigiri (rice balls) and so on. Basically all sorts of rice and
seaweed combos some with veggies, umeboshi plums or whatever. Watch
out though since some of the rice balls (they are called balls
although they are shaped like triangles--apparently easier to handle--
are made with a fish stock for flavouring. If the rice looks white it
is okay). The good thing about these is that you can get them almost
anywhere. The bad thing is that you can tire of them very quickly.
You will find that you can buy fruit and veggies at their food
centres. These are like our big grocery stores except that they are
actually a lot of smaller independents under one roof (and I mean one
roof--without walls dividing them so they look like one big store
except you pay as you go from section to section). These food centres
usually contain a multitude of very small sections (like mini-delis)
where you can buy fresh vegan sushi as well.
For a country that does everything with rice it was surprising that
they had never heard of rice milk. Hence I had my Corn Flakes (when I
could find them--which was very hard and only in small boxes) with
orange juice. At least I could have something other than rice for
breakfast. I was unable to find any breads that did not contain eggs
and/or milk.
After four weeks, it was a while after returning before I wanted to
see rice again. The whole thing would have been a little easier if I
had access to a kitchen so that I could prepare my own meals. Alas
that was not the case.

Mexico
______________________________________________________________________
It's *really hard* to be a vegetarian in Mexico. They cook with lard a
lot, everything's really really greasy. The best thing I can say about
Mexico is that the fresh tortillas are killer. It's too bad because
the country is really beautiful.
Hopefully vegetarians in San Diego who know of passable places to eat
in Tijuana, Rosarita Beach, and Ensenada can make contributions to the
list.
Cancun
------
I did not have a very hard time (not as much as I had feared) finding
stuff to eat in Cancun. Most places were very obliging. I ate a lot of
fruit, rice and torillas.
100% Natural, two locations:
Plaza Caracol
Plaza Kulkulcan
- They have a breakfast granola, fruit yogurt bowl that is very good
for lacto-vegs. For lunch/dinner there is a spaghetti plate with a
very light spicy tomato sauce. Tasty. Ask them to give you more
spaghetti.
Savio's, Plaza Caracol
- UVery nice atmosphere with live music. There are no
vegan dishes on the menu, but there are a few lacto-veg that you can
ask them to leave off the cheese. Use your coupon from the books
they give you at the airport.
Sierra Radisson, Cancun Hotel Zone 10
- I had a very nice lacto-veg sandwich with tomato, lettuce, sprouts,
avocados and cheese (ask to 86 the cheese) with spicy mustard on
whole wheat bread. To go with it I had a generous fruit plate and
some bread.
Planet Hollywood, Cancun North of Plaza Kulkulcan
- Very tasty slightly greasy veg burger with fries. There were other
lacto-veg items on the menu including a vegetarian pizza.
XCARET, 45 miles south of Cancun
- We drove in a rented Beetle to this beautiful spot that offers
snorkeling, dolphin shows, boat rentals, an underground cave, and
the most beautiful scenery on the peninsula (IMHO). This place is
touted as earth/health conscious and I believe it. I had a very nice
buffet with rice, refried beans (no lard), sauteed vegetables,
fruit, corn tortillas and rice milk all to the accompaniment of a
three person miramba. Excellent - not too be missed!
Mexico City
-----------
There are at least two vegetarian places in Mexico City.
Hotel Fiesta Americana, Mexico City Airport
- If you are stuck in the Mexico City airport looking for something to
eat, take the bridge across (it's near Gate C inside the airport) to
the Hotel Fiesta Americana and check out their restaurant. Lacto-
vegetarians can survive in there and they speak passable English.
Beware of the buffet, it's loaded with meat items and other things
which are cooked in lard.
Playa Carmen (near Cancun in the state of Quintana Roo)
------------
Sabor (Flavor), ask locals where it is, they'll know.
- Vegetarian-friendly. As of summer 93, they will have moved to a new
larger location. Vegetarian tortas, killer pastries, etc. A
vegetarian oasis in a country full of meat.
San Cristobal de Las Casas (in Chiapas)
--------------------------
Madre Tierra (Mother Earth), on Avenida Ninos Heroes near Avenida
Insurgentes.
- Great (mostly) vegetarian restaurant with a natural food store.

- Vegetarian Indian. IMHO, the best vegetarian restaurant in
Singapore. The food is prasad (offered), which makes it taste much
better! It's run to help fund a school for Indian dance and music,

Many thanks to Bill Maddex, the vegan gourmet, for supplying many of
the Thailand listings.
'Vegetarian' in Thai means 'substitute tofu for flesh'. Be sure to
insist on no fish sauce or other animal products when eating out. In
| Thailand, fish sauce is called 'nam pla'. Be sure to keep this in mind
| because all Thai food seems to have some meat or meat based flavouring
| in it.
