      If you are still stuck with the impression that vegetarian food is only vegetables, tofu and white rice, I suggest you visit Hua Yuan Vegetarian Teahouse. You will be stunned. About 10 years ago, shop owner Miss He had an unusual new vegetarian idea – that vegetarian food does not equal crude tea and bland rice. Rather, she has pursued the goals of making healthy, delicious, nutritious and diverse dishes. After owning a shop for 12 years, and receiving eager guidance from others, she has now reached the level where all of her dishes are beautiful, aromatic and flavorful, no matter whether they are teas, meals or snacks. The Lotus Hotpot has the natural flavors of seasonal fruits and vegetables. The noodles in the Black Pepper Spicy Noodles are from a secret recipe, and are tasty, smooth and chewy. The shop owner especially suggests the Five Jewels Fried Rice, another unique dish made with sunflower seeds, pine nuts, barley, white rice and brown rice. The five flavors blend into a healthy meal. After your meal, or for afternoon teatime, order a non-greasy whole wheat pancake and drink a cup of avocado milk or longan milk tea. Afterwards, you can sit in the back garden and listen to the flocks of sparrows chirp in the old tree. Fresh, flavorful, non-oily and non-greasy can also be used to describe an easygoing life!
