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

VegFarm 無國界蔬食餐廳 (南屯區)

台灣的朋友有福了，在香港火紅的  已經運送到台囉，台北和台中都可以嚐到 (店名在文末)！ 「無國界蔬食餐廳 Vegfarm」是其中一家有「新豬肉」喔，果然夠潮，趕快來試試吧！
這次我們不小心點錯了兩個餐點 (都怪自己眼睛太大，看錯了🤣)，但是這個錯誤的餐點卻成為了我這次的必推美食 😋 「松露野菇麵」，這個意大利麵比想像中好吃好多好多，喜歡它的麵條、它的醬料、松露、口感、擺盤.... 還有，它的份量還蠻大方的，吃起來比較滿足 (不像一般精緻料理 😂)
「泰式拿鐵」！不愛喝拿鐵的我一秒愛上！精通咖啡的旅伴也覺得意外地好喝，馬上到樓下偷師製造方法，好想學起來喔！這家店好像所有料理都是經典，我太愛了！

The Omnipork pork in Hong Kong has been shipped to Taiwan, you can try it in some of the veg restaurants in Taipei and Taichung, "Vegfarm" is one of them. Come and try it!
This time we accidentally order two wrong dishes (all blame to my big eyes, I read it wrong 🤣), but these mistaken dishes has become my must-recommend dishes of this restaurant 😋 "Truffle sauce with cream spaghetti", this spaghetti tastes much better than I imagined, I like its noodles, its sauce, truffles, taste, and platter.... Also, its serving size is quite generous, and it is more satisfying to eat (unlike the general exquisite Cuisine 😂)
"Thai Mylk Tea Cafe"! I don’t like to drink latte, but I fell in love of this one! My travel companions who are proficient in coffee also feel unexpectedly good to have this one, and immediately go downstairs to ask for the making process, really want to learn it!

將進酒-素 燒烤殿 (西區)

在「將進酒-素 燒烤殿」的這一晚，讓我徹底地回到了食「肉」獸的年代！餐廳外觀很日式，還有個小庭院，進去後，立馬看到熟悉的烤爐，已經掩藏不住我的興奮感了。前菜和湯品都做得很精緻，喜歡天馬腰果湯，聽說可以促進血液循環喔！
好，我們先烤日本蛋茄、山藥和櫛瓜，超級大片，山藥烤起來很像薯片，好吃！你以為素烤「肉」就這樣嗎？🤣 最厲害的來了 ─ 階梯特色烤物！這個階級一出，我們所有人都歡呼起來了，實在是太令人興奮 😍
食材超級多元化：球芽甘籃、酥脆雞皮、客家小炒、雞腿卷、新彊羊肉串、三杯雞腿菇、素花支、麻糬等等... 最喜歡非酥脆雞皮莫屬，它們的時令蔬菜非常新鮮，建議大家把「肉」和菜都烤一烤，加上美生菜，用潤餅皮包在一起大口吃！你會覺得非常滿足和開心，相信我！
我們還意外發現「如何烤出最好吃的麻糬」呢！ 大家記得烤麻糬時要專心和有耐性，看著麻糬慢慢脹大，最後還爆開，真的非常療癒耶 😚
PS 我們四個人點三人套餐 (NT1980) 也非常夠吃呢，套餐還包沙拉、飲料和甜點喔，我選了Häagen Dazs的純素芒果雪糕 🍨

"Vegetarian BBQ" looks very Japanese and has a small courtyard outside. After entering, I immediately saw the familiar oven, which I can't hide my excitement. The appetizers and soups are very delicate, I like Tianma cashew soup, I heard that it can increase blood circulation!
Ok, let's first grill some veggies from Japan, they are super big, the grilled yam is very similar to potato chips, delicious! The best thing is coming - the ladder! When this ladder comes out, all of us are cheering up, it is really exciting 😍
Super diversified ingredients: sprouts, crispy chicken skin, Hakka stir fry, chicken leg roll, chicken leg mushroom, etc... I like the crispy chicken skin the most, their vegetables are very fresh too. It is recommended that you grill the "meat" and the veggies, add the lettuce and wrap them together! You will feel very satisfied and happy, trust me!
We also accidentally discovered "how to bake the best mochi"! Please remember to be attentive and patient whengrilling mochi, watching the mochi grow and break, it's very healing 😚

龍廚蔬食（手工拉麵、飯） (北區)

這家純素手工拉麵沒有任何素肉，反而選用了當季新鮮蔬果來製作湯頭。湯頭可以做得如此濃郁，是有秘密的！原來他們放了一顆薯蓉（土豆泥）在拉麵中間，用來「勾芡」，勾芡後的拉麵味道更濃郁，更喜歡！
我還偷吃了朋友的「松子素燥飯」，原來松子和素燥飯很搭耶，好吃！
龍廚蔬食的店員／店長非常親切，還很詳細地給我們介紹餐點的特色，讓我未吃已經非常期待！小店食物偏家常媽媽菜（我媽應該暫時做不出來），吃了感覺特別溫暖～

This vegan hand-made ramen does not have any mock meat. Instead, it uses fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables to make the soup. There's a secret to make the soup so rich. They put a potato mash in the middle of the ramen, it can thicken the soup, makes it more intense and rich, love it!
I also stole a friend's "Vegan Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice", it matches with the pine nuts very well! DELICIOUS!
The staff/shop managers of "Vegan Ramen TW"
are very kind, and also introduces all their meal in detail with us, so I have been very much looking forward to taste it! The food is more like homemade food from mother, it feels really warm to dine in here~

彩椒廚房 (大安區)

在台北公館附近有一條咖啡街，顧名思義，整條街都是咖啡館，大學生都喜歡跑來這邊溫習，走進咖啡館，你會誤以為自己去了圖書館的自修室，我這個離開校園很久的「大人」坐在那，有點格格不入，下次我也要融入一下才行 😁
溫習累了，不妨到附近的「彩椒廚房」吃個晚餐慰勞一下自己吧！這家店雖是奶素，但也有部分純素料理喔，而且感覺都很厲害耶！推薦石鍋拌飯（NT130），超級無敵香的，原本配的是雲南椒麻醬，可是我不能吃太辣，所以就換了沙茶醬，配飯超好吃！還有小吃－椒麻G（NT80），G就是雞的意思，吃起來口感像炸雞塊，但又不會很炸，超喜歡~
對了，小心有客人點臭豆腐，那臭味臭到我快要暈了 😆

There is a coffee street near Gongguan. As the name implies, the whole street is full of coffee shop. College students like to come here to do revision. So you will mistakenly think that you have gone to the library's study room whenever cafe you walked into.
After studying a whole day, maybe go to a nice veg restaurant such as "彩椒廚房" to cheer yourself up! There are some vegan dishes here, and it tastes very good! I will recommend you a bibimbap (NT130), orginally with Yunnan pepper sauce, but I can not eat too spicy, so I changed to satay sauce, please mix it well with the rice! There is also a snack - pepper Ma G (NT80), G is the meaning of chicken, tastes like fried chicken, but it will not be too dry, like it so much ~
