🇬🇧 Vegan Options

This place offers some delicious vegan options in their menu and you can also ask for some plates to be made vegan.

We asked for a vegan version pf the toasted rice, which was very good. Also tried the fried dumplings, rice noodles, the sweet and sour vegan meat and the sweet potato noodles.

Everything was very tasty and filling, and the terrace is very pleasant. Will visit again soon. 🦋 @ladylicious

Opciones Veganas

Este lugar ofrece algunas deliciosas opciones veganas en su menú y también puedes pedir alguno de los platos en versión vegana.

Como por ejemplo el arroz tostado, que estaba muy bueno. También probé las empanadillas fritas, los fideos de arroz, la carne vegana agridulce y los fideos de batata.

Todo estaba muy rico y las raciones tienen buen tamaño. La terraza es agradable. Volveré a visitarlos...
