mock meats (and oyster sauce) at Vegetarian Gourmet in san mateo- telephone

[Guest guest]

I spoke with YAPING (one of the sisters), who's English was very good.

She said they have mock " oyster " soy sauce. Everything in the

restaurant is vegan including the MOCK meats, NO dairy products (no

whey), no eggs. The mock meat is usually made with soy. They are not

a Buddhist restaurant but they can take out the onions and garlic out

of the dish if requested.

 

The restaurant opened 2 weeks ago for health, animal and environmental

reasons. They try to use paper rather than plastic products.

 

YAPING knows what vegan means and recently had to explain the meaning

of it to her sister (probably the person, Amy came across); since

they've been getting questions on it.

 

They are located on B St between 6th & 7th St, parking is easy except

for thursdays when there's a music festival at the place next to them.

 

They are open everyday except for sunday from 11-3pm and 5-9pm.

credit cards accepted.

==

by the way, I " ve noticed, more and more restaurants are closed between

3-5 so they can go shopping or go on breaks.

 

Alive!, Hulu house, Bok Choy, New World Veg is like that. So be aware

where, if you're hungry at 4pm, you have to go to the right restaurant

that's opened at that time.
