Vegetarianism - Restoran Tze Ern
Vegetarian culture exists in our society, not merely driven by religion but gradually influenced by society’s desire to be healthier and more environmentally friendly. Eating meat indirectly commits oneself to taking away a life, which brings about potential karmic retribution according to Buddhism. Scientifically, it would also mean ever growing demand for livestock and destruction of our natural environment and resources to accommodate its growth which leads to deforestation and global warming. So, if everyone converts to vegetarianism wouldn’t the world be saved and we will be living guilt-free? 😆
Still a regular dish with a regular name but with no meat nor seafood but vegetables (kale, cauliflower, brocolli, Chinese cabbage) and mushrooms. For moment I thought I have Covid-19 because the taste was rather bland but no, the cook was rather light-handed on the salt. Hang on… no garlic! This is Buddhism at the next level, consumption of garlic, onion, shallot, chives and kau choy are not permitted because it is believed to increase your sexual desires.
If dedicating oneself to vegetarianism brings such liberating moral happiness, why stop there? Go further to deny mock meat and achieve the purity of conscious. Despite swearing my loyalty to that favorite vegetarian restaurant, betrayal was forthcoming as in life, I want something more than soy.
Ordering for the first time from Tze Ern, my selections were unadventurous - Sang Har Mee (Braised noodle with river prawn) and Claypot Lou Shu Fun (Rat Noodle).

I preferred the Sang Har Mee over the Lor Shu Fun, because the noodle was crispy. The latter was a bit too oily. Judge for yourself and do try other items on the menu.
