Right now, I could book a flight to Taiwan, and find the Yang Shin Vegetarian Restaurant with no problem. Your verbal directions, and all those matching visuals, was so precise and well thought out. The care and planning you put into that sequence shows. The food portion sizes look more like entrees than the sampling-style of Dim Sum I've seen in the U.S.
Vegetarian here! I highly recommend the vegan food in the Buddhist temples. They're simpler, less ingredients, and yummy too. If the meals are free, don't forget to drop some money in their donation box.
As a vegetarian it makes me happy see a full veggie restaurant. I've been wanting to try dim sum, it looks really good and I was impressed with the price for all the food y'all got g
The service is excellent! And I love how the waitress mentioned you’ve ordered enough, that’s really nice. Thank you for sharing! Ps. And so proud of your mandarin ability, you’re so good!
I am trying to improve slowly but surly! I can call restaurants now and ask if there is space and if I can make reservations. Baby steps 🤣 And if she didn’t tell me, I would have jet ordering for sure 😅
I just love how you go try vegan food and bring us along even though you’re not vegetarian or vegan. Everything looked so good, I already saved the address for my Taiwanese trip *in not too long fingers crossed* and your friend is awesome!
This video was fantastic Jenn! The menu scrolling to show us everything, explaining the differences... makes me want to try vegetarian dimsum so bad. I've never seen a foodie video show the menu this way! You are so great at making Taiwan seem like such a foreigner friendly, fun place to travel!
Hey Jennifer, I'm so glad you guys enjoyed your lunch here in Yan Shin. I'm also a vegetarian and I do think everything on the menu is highly recommendable. I work here as a waiter and am also responsible for the menu translation (Chinese to English). I hope those translated names of the dishes do sound understandable and yummy to you. There are a lot more must-eat stuff other than what you had ordered. Come again when you guys have time.
wow everything looked so good! and it wasn't expensive at all, if i get to have a trip to taipei at some point its definitely on my list of restaurants to try!
Thanks so much for your video! I'll be in Taipei by myself in August and I'm just starting to think about where, as a vegan, I want to eat. Yang Shin is definitely on my list now!
Wow, this really makes the hot sausage/mushroom pizza we are having really bad. Thanks for the suggestion and will add to our summer bucket list. Have a fun spring break to all.
Your videos are always so professionally done. If I hadn't been following you since Japan, I would think you worked for a Taiwan Media source, your videos are that well done! Thank you for always being thorough and enjoyable!
I've heard about this place for so long, but I haven't got the chance to go. Ah! Thank you for sharing! Always love to get info of vegetarian restaurants. 💚💚💚
Thank you for your excellent channel for bringing me a good mood for the day! Your channel has left a deep impression on me! Thank you for your excellent creation! You are very successful! thank you for your sharing! I wish you happiness and peace every day!
Lovely, well put video as usual, and surprise it wasn't all that expensive as I assumed! Also you looked so cute and genuine when the man was explaining the steps, aha. I seemed like good customer service and great ambiance..
😊 Not too far from my family's house. YangShin is always a staple for my family for celebrations. I highly recommend their Fried Pumpkin Vegetable Hand Roll and Deep-Fried Radish Cocoon Pastry.
People become vegetarians for different reasons. Some are so for religious reasons while others for health reasons. Still others are for environment protection reasons. In Taiwan there are several types of vegetarians and you can tell the waiter what type you belong to so that they know which kinds of foods they shouldn't offer you to eat. If you tell the waiter you eat 純素，they'll offer you vegetables and fruits only. Besides, onions, garlic and leeks aren't allowed to eat, either. If you eat 蛋奶素, you can eat vegetables, fruits, eggs and milk. If you select 海鮮素，you're allowed to eat all kinds of vegetables and seafood, including fish, octopus, shrimp, crabs and clams.
Actually I just learned about how garlic etc are not eaten by specific vegans here due to religious practices!! However I don’t know the English term for it 🤔
@@LayersOfJenn For example, if you're a pious Buddhist, you're not allowed to eat garlic, onion, leeks and 2 other similar planets which aren't common in Taiwan. These plants are called 五辛！If you're a pure vegan but you can eat these plants, you can tell the waiter that you want to eat 五辛素。
In fact, "純素" in Chinese is not equivalent to "strict vegetarians" in Vegan. "純素" refers to a vegetarian diet that fully abides by Chinese Buddhist rules. The rules include: 1. You can't eat any animal-derived substances, 2. You can't eat " 五辛". "五辛" contains 1. garlic, 2. scallion, 3. Chinese onion(Allium chinense) , 4. chives, 5. asafoetida (modern is expanded to be interpreted as any kind of allicin-containing alliaceae, such as: onion). Because eating "五辛" will make people excited, make the breath bad, and will destroy the spiritual practice of Buddhist practitioners. Therefore, "純素" is even more strict than "strict vegetarians". At present, there should be no corresponding word for "純素" in English. So if you eat food that is labeled "純素/全素" in Chinese, it will be without garlic.😂 A diet that conforms to the "strict vegetarians" rule is called "五辛素" in Chinese, which means the vegetarian rule that you can eat "五辛".
It’s considered vegan for my friends however I know learned about the different kinds of vegan rules here in Taiwan recently!! Thank you for a more detailed explanation 🙇♀️
Can I correct you that the Chinese characters in the menu are just called Chinese, not Mandarin. If you want to be more specific, you can call it traditional Chinese. Mandarin or Cantonese are types of language spoken, however the writing system is just called Chinese. In mainland China, the Chinese is called simplified.
@@veryinterestingpersonaliti8321 no, "Chinese" is ambiguous. it could mean Mandarin which is spoken, or it could mean some other spoken language/dialect in China like Cantonese or Taiwanese or Fujianese, or it could mean hanzi (written Chinese). but Mandarin is not ambiguous. it's used to mean a specific spoken language and the standard dialect of Mandarin in China is putonghua.
I SO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Both sides of my Taiwanese family are vegetarian, and this is our go-to celebration/birthday/special occasion restaurant, and my family and I dream of it when we’re away from Taiwan. (In fact, I’m currently salivating just thinking about the last time I was there, for my grandma’s 85th birthday!) The curry skewered mushroom is my favourite non-dim sum dish, and my favorites are the radish flaky pastries and BBQ pork buns I tell everyone visiting Taiwan to go here, even if they aren’t vegetarian. 100000% recommended!

Whatttt!?!? I’ve never heard of that but I think it would make for an interesting video 👀
台灣的素食種類繁多,美味不輸葷食!😉👍

Love this! Such a huge variety of options for vegetarians and vegans. Also, Taiwan would be the end of me because those prices are so good hahaha!
🤣
It’s amazing to see various kind of vegan food
Yeah! It's like you are "double dipping" the food, while enjoying these delicacies, you have a a good friend's company. Life is just like that!
Loved it! Everything looked amazing 😋 I really appreciate your awareness and respect when filling around so many people. 🙌🏼☺️

I definitely want to check this place out now! Thanks for letting us "have lunch" with you. :)
OMG I am so envious. Vegan + dim sum = my dream meal.
I have been the restaurant last year with my college friends, and the dishes were super delicious! I love it too.
My goodness I’m so impressed with the amount of alternatives that are available!
Wow, this really makes the hot sausage/mushroom pizza we are having really bad. Thanks for the suggestion and will add to our summer bucket list. Have a fun spring break to all.
This is literally my favourite place to eat in the world! I've only been twice but my partner and I talk about it all the time!
I need to go back. I’m curious to see the weekend rush 😂
Now I’m hungry. 😆 That was a pretty good price I think, everything looked so delicious!
Your videos are always so professionally done. If I hadn't been following you since Japan, I would think you worked for a Taiwan Media source, your videos are that well done! Thank you for always being thorough and enjoyable!

Thank you for sharing this. Will be today's armchair dream noms for me♥️🥟
Thank you for watching !!! The food was super delicious 🤤
This video makes me want to go to Taiwan ASAP!!! Can't wait until quarantine gets lifted so that I can go!
Slowly they are making the days less and less. Atm it’s 10 days !
佛光山各道場的滴水坊,you can try ,too.

漢來蔬食也不錯，推薦💕
北京烤鴨reminds me 鹹酥雞，it’s very classic street food in Taiwan! You can try it!
蛤？
這家餐廳的"炒飯"也非常好吃喔~~~
Since you’ve been living in Japan for years, I believe finding life in Taiwan won’t be too difficult.
Life here is super easy. I encounter English speakers daily in Taiwan. In Japan, MAYBE once a year (outside of work).
Thanks , I will go to try it
養心茶樓是真的很不錯，
我媽媽吃素，家庭聚餐很喜歡來這裡。
下次找更多朋友一起來，就能點更多菜！
這家我很愛！蘿蔔絲餅超好吃裡面的第一名，但絲瓜小籠包朋友都說不行～😂
The texture was def different from a regular xiaolongbao. But at least people can try and experience it ☺️
Urgh I love watching these vlog. I loved your japan videos. Taiwan seems like so beautiful and more to uncover
Always such good content 😌💕
Thank you 🥺♥️
好讚，養心茶樓是台灣數一數二的!!
Lovely, well put video as usual, and surprise it wasn't all that expensive as I assumed!

I was so surprised (in a good way) that he helped us! Actually he messaged me on IG after this video was published 🤣 Very nice man!
@@LayersOfJenn yeah, very attentive for sure!
Look sooo delicious 👍🏾👍🏾
Yuuuuum! Thanks for showing us this place!
Food is so good 😋😋😋👍👍👍

Taiwan is one of the most vegetarian friendly and gay friendly countries in the world, that’s how it’s different from other countries in Asia.

I’ll 100% recommend this vegan restaurant, too.
Awwww....looks so good! We went to the restaurants in US over $100 US dollars (including tips) and eating in Taiwan is heaven and so inexpensive!!
Jenn speaks chinese is cute
🤣♥️
the Taiwanese hospitality is unreal right?
I was so happy when the assistant came in to teach me how to prepare the “duck” 🥲♥️
Taiwan has incredible vegan food!! More please 😄
Now I'm craving SUM DIMSUM~~~
😂
@@LayersOfJenn *stomach growling* sadly our Din Tai Fung isn't that great as the one in Taiwan
Haven't had vegan dimsum before 🤔
Looked yummy!
love to see more vegan food videos😀
Coming soon 😉
fantastic！ 汤包感觉好像很好吃哦！thanks for showing wonderful video ， i hope can travel with friend and go to eat in future time! not alone again.....
I love traveling alone however when it comes to eating.. when you’re alone you can enjoy as many dishes
@@LayersOfJenn agree~ is fun when sharing the taste and discuss about the food with someone , but i prefer traveling alone
10:15太貼心了
Love your video !
That one I ate several times, that's a good vegetable restaurant. In Taipei also have more more much better ones.
Wish they set up a branch in Singapore
Ur trying to order in Chinese was really cute. Keep on!
Thank you!! I tried my best and I hope to keep improving 🤞🏻
I know a all-you-can-eat buffet, "Yuan vegetarian restaurant (原素食府)", that is also good.
Ohhhh you don’t say 👀
What a beautiful restaurant! I want to go that. By the way,”TAIWAN”chopsticks is very longer than Japanese that one.
What do you think?
I can still use them 💯
Korean chopsticks are a little difficult but I can still use them for the most part ☺️
Taiwan is a great place for vegetarian and vegan options and the they are soooo delicious unlike North American way of cooking and less options
Japan as well!! All my friends that are vegan there tell me they can’t wait to come here and try all the selections

No. The characters aren’t Chinese
Language is but not the characters.
Characters are Hanzhi / Kanji (漢字)
Which is NOT Chinese.
@@LayersOfJenn don’t rlly listen to some of those ppl 😅
Mandarin is a spoken language. The written language on the menu is Chinese
Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻
Yes but No.
Chinese is a spoken language too.
The written characters are Hanzi
Which is Kanji in Japanese.

Yes, having photos on menu drives the food sales, scientifically proven. I am in food tech industry by the way.
Ohhh my thinking was right then!!! 🎉
推薦素食吃到飽的餐廳更好。
check out dongao bay
Does dim sum allways come just 3 in a Basket ? Bit of a pain when its two eating ..... i would speed eat to get two of everything 🤣🤣
😄😄😄
Yep again, not a fan of vegetarians, but a vegan dim sum (點心) sounds interesting, as well as creating a traditional culinary atmosphere.
😎❤️🇹🇼‼️
Am a solo traveler, is it possible to have table for just 1 person ?
Probably! Best to contact the restaurant! I’ve never been denied just eating along anywhere here!
@@LayersOfJenn thank you, Jenn!
Enjoy!!
Heavan of vegans country
if only it's an eggless vegetarian restaurant
There are eggless dishes 👍🏻
vegan? haiyaa...
Yup! So other people can try as well who don’t eat meat 👍🏻

I should have tried more off the dim sum menu but the lady said we already have a lot 😅😂 so I didn’t order more.
Next time 🤞🏻
Everything looked so yummy, now I'm super hungry lol.
