華美社區剩食廚房 (西區)

//全世界每年有13億公噸食物在整個食品供應鏈中被丟棄或浪費，這些食物足夠解決30億人的飢餓問題//

這次到訪台中，經  Freegan達人宗翰的介紹下，來到了這家 ，管理員們每天中午到附近的菜市場收集剩下來不要的菜，拿回店裡，部份免費轉贈居民，部份留到晚上做晚餐給客人。我檢查過大部份的菜，幾乎都是完好無缺的，只是長得比較醜而已，吃起來完全沒有問題耶～

//1.3 billion metric tons of food is discarded or wasted throughout the food supply chain worldwide. These foods are enough to solve the hunger problem of 3 billion people.//

During my visit to Taichung this time, I went to this leftover kitchen, the staffs collected the remaining foods in a wet market at noon every day, and took them back to the store. Some of them are free of charge to residents, and some are reserved for dinner at night. I have checked most of the foods, almost all of them are eatable, they are just more "ugly" compare to other foods, but they are actually have no problem at all.

很喜歡他們的理念

秋町菇菇燒 (西區)

只要聽到日式章魚燒，馬上垂涎三尺，因為這是我從小到大的至愛啊！當然囉，vegan後的我也不會放棄這美食，所以我來到了台中 - 秋町菇菇燒，而且是總店喔~

「秋町菇菇燒」用杏鮑菇代替了原來的章魚，沒想到味道和口感居然那麼相似，而且菇菇超大一顆，忍不住一顆接一顆啊！多種口味選擇，除了cheese和芥末，其他口味都是vegan的 😍 小盒 NT40，大盒也才 NT60，而且，自備盒子還多送一顆！還有什麼理由不來吃呢？！😝

I will immediately drooled as soon as I heard the Japanese octopus balls, because this is my love from childhood! Of course, I will not give up this delicious street food after my switch, so I came to Taichung - Akimachi Food.

The original octopus is replaced by the King Oyster Mushroom. The taste and texture is unexpectedly similar, and the mushroom cube is soooo big and juicy, and I couldn't help to have one after another! A variety of flavors, in addition to cheese and mustard, other flavors are vegan 😍 small box costs NT40, big box costs only NT60, and, bring your own box to have one FREE ball! Is there any reason not to come? ! 😝

饗蔬職人 勤美店 (西區)

「車仔麵」對我來說是有著很深的兒時回憶，平價好味，中學時期為了省錢，午餐常常吃，而且滷水湯底，特別入味！
通常「車仔麵」店感覺都是髒髒的，很快吃一吃就閃人或直接外賣走人，真沒想到現在台灣的素食「車仔麵」店都做得這麼講究又文青，很難不常常光顧呢~

而且很有特色，要自己先拿籃子「買菜」，菜都很新鮮，有在逛市場的feel (我特喜歡這個過程)，再把選好的菜、麵和配料拿到櫃台結帳，然後會有專人幫你煮喔！

配料選擇很多，一不小心就會拿超多，你看我這碗這麼多料就知道了，我吃的很享受耶！台北和台東都有不同品牌在經營類似的「車仔麵」，我這次拜訪的是在台中喔~

"Cart Noodles" has a deep childhood memories for me. It is cheap and tasty. In my high school, in order to save money, I always having cart noodles for my lunch, I really like their marinated soup base, very rich!

Usually, the "Cart Noodles" shop feels dirty. I will just finish it quickly and leave or sometimes simply order a take away. I really didn't expect that the vegetarian "Cart Noodles" shop in Taiwan is doing so clean and stylish now. You will always want to spend more time there~

You have to take the basket to "buy veggie" first. The vegetables are very fresh, you will have a feeling like shopping in a market (I like this ordering process), and then take the selected vegetables, noodles and ingredients to the counter for checkout, then there will be someone to help you cook!
There are a lot of ingredients to choose from. If you are not careful, your bowl will be super big (you can see mine). But I am enjoying it! Both Taipei and Taitung have different brands operating similar "Cart Noodles". I am visiting the one in Taichung this time.

菜市場 (西區)

Vegan的概念不僅僅是盡量不傷害動物，還包括保護和維持生態，如盡量零廢棄、自然農法 (無肥料栽培) 等等，至少對我來說是這樣吧 (我也還在努力)。

「菜市場」的理念跟我的很相似，所以特別支持和欣賞，早陣子，他們更休市了一個月，親身去做田野調查、學習有機和自然農法，這次回來，他們重新整理了菜單，真的很期待他們如何用在地食材，呈現那不曾被發現的味道！

回到這次的體驗，食物味道、擺盤和環境都十分滿意，兩位雜食朋友都很喜歡喔！特別喜歡他們的手工意大利麵，還有擂茶豆乳和裸旦糕呢~

The concept of Vegan is limited to try not to harm the animals, but also to protect and maintain the ecology, such as zero waste, natural farming methods (no fertilizer cultivation), etc., at least that's what vegan for me (I am still working on it).

The concept of "Vegan Project" is very similar to mine, so I especially support and appreciate it. A while ago, they have been closed for a month, and they went to field research and learn organic and natural farming methods. This time, they reorganized the menu. I am really looking forward to how they use the local ingredients to present the taste that has never been discovered!

Back to this experience, the taste and display of the food, the environment, everything are very satisfied, both of my omnivorous friends like it too! I especially like their handmade pasta, as well as soy milk with Hakka mix nuts and raw cakes~

蔬壽司 (西區)

壽司控的你，不會還以為vegan後要放棄最愛的壽司了吧？！在台中有一家小店 ─ 蔬壽司，小清新的店面雖小，但不會覺得擁擠，光線充足，還蠻有空間感呢！

壽司種類非常多，無論是細捲、捲壽司、握壽司，還是軍艦壽司，都非常精緻和美味；連擺盤和餐具都很有質感呢！最近週年慶，更推出了兩款蛋奶素套餐喔~

「蔬壽司」更提供四種訂購方式：電話、臉書、LINE和線上填單，很貼心吧~

Are you a sushi-lover? Are you still worrying that you have to give up your favorite sushi after be a vegan? There is a small shop in Taichung - Yasai Sushi, although it's small, it does not feel crowded, in fact quite a sense of space!

There are so many kinds of sushi, whether it is small rolls, sushi rolls, or warship sushi, they are very delicate and delicious; even the display and tableware are very textured! Recently, they are celebrating their 1st anniversary, two vegetarian sushi sets has been introduced~
