When we first moved to Grandstand, looking for vegan food options was such a hassle. There was basically zero vegan food in the area and it was quite a challenge for us to get our meals ๐. We then started to microwave our products like the Amyโs Organic Vegan GF Lasagne and Amyโs Organic Tofu Scramble Wraps however, we canโt have too much of a good thing ๐!
One day, we took a stroll around the area and had a chat with E-Sarnโs owner, Neng. E-Sarn is the Thai Restaurant located next to our shop ๐น๐ญ. We asked her to experiment making some vegan dishes for us and without hesitation, she said โYes!โ ๐คฉ.
We then had her try a few of our products including the OmniMeat โ All Purpose Plant Based Minced Meat. First, she cooked Thai Fried Rice ๐ ย with it then she tried it with fried dumplings ๐ฅ ย and OMG, it was delicious ๐ฅฐ ๐ฅฐ! She eventually tried the Impossible meat to make spring rolls and her latest addition, the Monkey Head Mushroom ๐ต ๐! If you arenโt familiar with this, the Monkey Head Mushroom is a mushroom that is a very popular meat alternative in vegetarian Chinese cuisine and has a chewy and meaty texture when cooked properly ๐.ย
Now, E-sarnโs vegan menu has grown and now includes Thai Fried Rice and even Tom Yum Soup! Because of this, we donโt worry much about our staff meals anymore. ๐ฅฐ
Not only that, Casa Roma, an Italian restaurant ๐ฎ๐น ย where our dear friend, Chef Ania, ๐ฉโ๐ณ ย who is a consultant, boasts an exciting vegan menu.
