I like to get Subway when I’m in need of a quick and cheap meal! The person who prepared my sandwich this time was a bit messy with it but whatever, it all goes down the same pipe 6″ veggie delight, 9 grain wheat, light on mayo and mustard, Swiss cheese, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, pickles, spinach, salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar. Thanks!

I’ve been feeling under the weather so I made myself some soup with whatever I had available. This is why I call it the “whatever” soup. It consists of stuff that I like that so I figured I can throw them in together with a vegetable broth. I used green onions, potatoes, enoki mushrooms, and prefried tofu puffs.

Here are some pictures of the airplane food on my flight to and back from Taiwan to the US.

So basically my role was just to bring my things and show up. It was my first time flying as a vegetarian so I had no idea how the food thing worked with airlines. I’m just used to flying domestic and getting peanuts or pretzels lol. The tickets were also booked by the company so I didn’t know that I was supposed to request special meals.

I dropped the bomb onto the flight attendant while up in the sky flying over the Pacific Ocean that I was a vegetarian lol. They weren’t prepared for that so I ended up getting cold nasty leftovers. Blech! Totally my fault though. I’m lucky I even had anything to eat.

This is my first meal. So soggy, bland, and cold It’s not congee, but it’s not steamed rice either. The only think edible was the bread… I was supposed to get a second meal during that flight but I was asleep. You sleep, you don’t eat

Here is the food at had in the VIP lounge at the Taiwan airport. Ahhh finally nice hot normal food! I think I had a redbean bun and a custard bun.

The food on the flight back was MUCH better. I notified the people at the desk this time about my dietary needs. You don’t have to notify the airline too far in advance about special meals; you just have to tell them before the plane takes off lol.

First meal on the flight back. Noodles, bak choy, some patty. Not bad! A lot of the frozen Asian vegetarian food sold here in the US like the fish I like to use or ham is imported from Taiwan so Eva being a Taiwanese airline, had pretty decent vegetarian food.

And some more noodles with fake meat stuff.

It was also my first time flying international as an adult so this may have existed but I wasn’t addicted to shopping then to care But I thought it was cool that you can go shopping while on the plane. Look through the catalog, pick what you want.

And the flight attendant rings you up. Sweet!

I’ll be flying United Airlines from the US to Australia this year so I’ll do an airplane food post on that trip too. This time I indicated my food restrictions while booking the ticket

I’m so proud of myself. I could not figure out how to make chow mein noodles not stick for the longest time. Buy chow mein noodles, put in boiling water just to separate the noodles, drain and rinse with cold water, then add to oiled pan to fry. Viola! Nice separated chow mein noodles.

I would have added bean sprouts, but I didn’t have any and didn’t feel like going to the store.

Unfortunately, my favorite veggie corn dogs by Morningstar Farms has been discontinued for some time now along with their hot dogs but I never really cared too much for those. An alternative, besides making your own from veggie dogs, is Trader Joe’s. I actually don’t think they’re bad at all, contrary to what others have said on the internet, but my only complaint is that these corn dogs are smaller compared to the average corn dog and the Morningstar Farm one. I finished the whole thing in three bites

Instead of ketchup, I’m using orange sauce.

Shitake mushrooms, carrots, radish, bamboo, soy sprouts, cucumber, chives, and an egg of course.

These are from MorningStar Farms. I used sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Mushrooms, napa cabbage, fried tofu, white radish, and mung bean thread noodles. Vegetable stock made to taste by mixing mushroom powder and sugar with water.

This is my first time buying from Baja Fresh and probably my last. I was just curious to check it out. What’s good about Baja Fresh is that they don’t use lard. The main meatless ingredients in Mexican cuisine include cheese, rice, and beans. I get tired of cheese and beans REAL fast. I know I don’t like Mexican food but I couldn’t help myself. I kept staring at the photos on the take home menu my roommate brought home. It looks so tempting. I figured I’d finally go or else I’ll just keep wondering about Baja Fresh.

I got the grilled veggie burrito ENCHILADO STYLE which means they add salsa and a crap ton of cheese on top. No one should ever eat all this in one sitting unless they are an intense athlete because this baby totals up to be approximately 1,430 calories!!!!! OMGGGG 

I ate 1/3 of it and had my roommate eat the other 2/3. I actually thought she was only eat another 1/3 but she ended up going back for seconds and ate the rest. LOL, fine by me! She’s one of those people who can eat, eat, eat, doesn’t have the stamina to endure simple aerobic activities, and yet manages to be size 00.

My roommate wanted to replicate a dish she had at a vegetarian restaurant so I didn’t make this I made the name up. It’s really good, I just don’t like the sauce.

Cutting the fried “fish”. It can be found at the frozen food section at Chinese markets.

Peanuts and fried onions for garnish

Rice noodles, “fish”, peanuts, fried onions, romaine lettuce, and mint on top of a nori sheet.

Completed roll

Dipping in a prepackaged vegetarian fermented dipping sauce. Too spicy for me!
