Check out this Restaurant if you''re in Southern California. It's listed as Vegetarian but the owner is Vegan, so i'ts pretty much all Vegan. We had these delicious BBQ chicken wings (drums) and they were amazing. The sauces are to die for. In fact, everything we ate was delicious. You know you've found an authentic spot when everyone in this restaurant (and it's a large restaurant), is Vietnamese.
The restaurant is Bo De Tinh Tam Chay

Ken, Do you still try to be "Oil Free" when you eat out? I've been vegan for years but only gave up oil in the last few months and I find eating out to be extremely difficult because of the "no oil". The times where I have eaten a vegan meal with oil I have found that it seemed to rev-up my oil/fat cravings and I had a tough time getting back on track afterwards. Thanks for any tips! Sophie
ReplyDeleteI do try to be oil free when eating out. Most times I'm successful. Occasionally I'll miss something or not ask the right questions, but I don't beat myself up over it. I actually don't crave oil any longer and can really feel the sliminess (greasiness) of the oil if there is any in the food. At this point for me, it's really the "added oil" rather than foods that have fat naturally that I try to avoid. I eat avocados, nuts and other fatty foods, but more as the exception than the rule. If there is fat in something I like to keep it to less than 2% of the fat in calories calculation.
