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 😅
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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. 💚💚💚
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!
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!
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..
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。
😊 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.
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.
