    I'm Alex, a Canadian living her best vegan foodie life in China! When I moved to Beijing in 2019, everyone told me it would be impossible to maintain my meatless lifestyle... Well, 5 years later I'm still here thriving and discovering new yummy plant-based dishes every day, and I want to share them with YOU!
    From street-side delights to fancy Michelin finds, my mission is simple: to prove that being vegan in China is not only possible but downright delicious! Whether you're fully vegan or simply a food enthusiast, I welcome you to join me on my adventures chatting with locals and sampling the diverse flavours of authentic Chinese cuisine.

    The way I see it, though a new one, this channel has the potential to become one of the most influential ones for introducing Chinese food culture to foreigners, and it deserves many more subscriptions. Keep up the good work.

    damn that looks tasty, I love udun style style noodles and skin style tofu. I didn't know it is called bamboo style!
    Chinese food was my gateway for vegetarian food and now I am vegan it is still my go to.
    I got to try this when I am in China!
    I love how the owners love the camera ;-)

    • @veganinchina
      @veganinchina  3 дня назад

      There are so many types of tofu skin in China, you'd be amazed! And yes, I've had people ask about how people feel about me filming them, but in general Chinese people welcome it, especially when they have a business to promote!

    Absolutely loving this channel. You know that feeling when you go into a vegan restaurant knowing you can order anything? I can watch your videos knowing that all the food you show would be suitable for vegans. In other videos on Chinese food, I waste 90% of my time watching foods I can't and and don't want to eat.
    I also liked the hospitality and flexibility of these small restaurants.

    • @veganinchina
      @veganinchina  3 дня назад

      Haha the noodles were not compromised! And I feel you! It's not intuitive, but the small shops are always the most accommodating in my experience (but speaking Chinese is definitely key).

    你成功的又把我看饿了,虽然我刚吃完没多久,你上辈子不一定是贵州人,但一定是豆腐人😂😂在我个人的认知里,中国最辣的辣椒应该是海南省的黄灯笼辣椒吧,喜欢吃辣你可以试试,北京很多超市都有卖,瓶装的,但是要是辣椒油那就南北各个自家做的各有千秋了😅😅😅祝愉快

    If you get a chance, visit Buddhist and Taoist areas. They are vegan so you'll prob find some new/different things.
