A vegetarian buffet restaurant / myLot

Guangzhou, China

May 24, 2018 3:53am CST

This noon my colleague went to a vegetarian buffet restaurant. It is a nice restaurant with beautiful environment. And hard to believe that having the vegetarian buffet even charges higher than the normal buffet as usually the meats shall be much more expensive than vegetables. I must say that their vegetarian food also makes like meats as you can see from the pictures. I can't really tell it is not a steak

I often eat in a vegetarian restaurant before because my friend owns one in the mall, her son is a classmate of my son, I agree, they look like real meat because it's tvp or texturized vegetable protein made from soya similar to tofu. Other products that look like meat are made from mushrooms. Here the meals are cheaper compared to meat.

I hardly will have a meal in a vegetarian restaurant. Although I am a worm and I love eating vegetables, but I also like eating meats

My daughter and I have been trying to eat more vegetarian meals since we are trying to prepare in case we go visit friends in India, but neither of us have liked dishes prepared with tofu and my daughter dislikes dishes prepared using mushrooms.

I have a feeling we will semi-starve while in India!

I hope I am joking about that!

I wondered about it being vegetarian when I looked at your picture(s), youless. Many of the items look like their meaty counterparts. Yes, many vegetarian meals cost more than the non-veg ones simply because of the time and trouble it takes to make them look, smell and taste like the non-veg options... (Mushrooms can cost much more than meat but can have the same mouth-feel as meat.)

Here we have various kinds of mushrooms, some are expensive, some are cheap.

@youless I know that is true, but have you not noticed, when mushrooms are called for in any vegetarian dish, the cooks can only seem to use the most expensive ones on the market? (grinning and teasing you!)

I think that is a good way to be healthy. We do have this kind of restaurant. But them, it is not a buffet.

I agree that it is very challenging to make a vegetarian buffet restaurant.

@youless I do think it is possible if the restaurant's owner has his veggies farmland.

Vegetables are very expensive. What is the vegetable that looks like salmon on the top left corner?

I am not so sure. I think it is a kind of dessert made by rice flour or flour or something like that. The color can use the carrot juice. Of course this is my guess as I didn't go there.

I just noticed the reply from @louievill and I think his description is right. Many food are made from soya products.

@RubyHawk As it is much more complicated to make it so attractive and delicious.

@youless It's too expensive and I wonder why since meat costs more than vegetables.

Perhaps you will think it is not worth to spend so much to have vegetarian food because it is really much more expensive than the meats.

@youless I think it is because they are organic? Are they organic or natural made vegetables?

Everything is so colorful! That would be so much fun to go to. Yeah I would assume a buffet like that would be more expensive since veggies themselves are crazy expensive.

Perhaps it charges higher since it is complicated to make beautiful look and delicious taste.

@youless I think it is because they do have to do a lot of labor to harvest vegetables and also the fact that they just want to keep people fat haha
