The Wifey has to help her parents to do banking stuff. So she asked them to come to the Waterpoint Mall. There are banks and resturants in this rather big neighbourhood mall. My in-laws as you know are vegetarians. Luckily, Din Tai Fung which is a Taiwanese restaurant chain has good understanding of the requirements of Chinese vegetarian. My in-laws are converted to this form of Taiwanese religion. There are some peculiar idiosyncrasies. Garlic and onions are not allowed but eggs are fine. Certain greens are considered non-veg. The logic totally befuddles my scientific mindset.
To me, plants are veg and animals are non-veg. To this Taiwanese religious sect, some plants are non-veg but eggs are ok. The belief is strong and their rationale and reasoning is peculiar. Onions and garlic are considered toxic to their vegetarian diet. No scientific study. Just some explanations which the followers just blindly obey.
