[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Yaaaay vegan and vegetarian food! We are excited! 😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yay!! We’re excited too 🎉😍

[@RudyVisuals]

Even though we're not vegan or vegetarian ourselves we love trying out those kinds of restaurants! Especially when we wanna have something healthier to eat!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yup, good restaurants to visit when we feel like something healthier to eat 👌🏻

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Hahaha lord of the fries!! Nice name!! Catchy!! I love the packaging and the "chicken nuggets " first glimpse I would be fooled!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yeah the name is very catchy, isn’t it! Those chicken nuggets really fooled us when we had it the first time many years ago as we didn’t realise that this is vegan fast food haha

[@ImaaniBeauty]

I need to try more vegan food I do like the different varieties 👌🏻 stay connected

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yup definitely try vegan food, they are not as boring as some people thought. They can be really delicious like the food we tried in this video 🥰

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

finally vegan bubble tea! really love the nutty cream on top. It's very unique! Looking forward to watching the part 2 ! thanks for sharing! 😻

[@TwoHungryDiners]

This vegan bubble tea shop is really unique, glad they open it in Melbourne. Vegan and vegetarians are part of melbourne foodie scene now, we can easily find vegan in the menu even for restaurants that are not 100% for vegan/vegetarian 👍🏻 Stay tuned for the next episode 😉 Thanks guys for checking out this video ♥️

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Gong de lin! Peking duck!?! Curious how it looks!!! Haha the cold noodles looks nice then sauces to try!! Sounds fun to play around w different taste

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We were also curious 🤨 now regretted that we didn’t order it 😅 That’s why we have to visit again next time 😁 Yup the cold noodles is surprisingly so good! Great thing is we can adjust the sauce to our liking.

[@NguyenningAtLife]

Wow! Vegan bubble tea! The Chinese vegetarian/vegan food looks delish and also the burger! Yummm 😋

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We are surprised too that everything is delicious despite all are vegan/vegetarian food 👌🏻😍

[@mariaandbryan]

Very impressed with the Chinese restaurant and all their options. And now a Vegan Buba tea shop? That is so good. Love how places are adapting to every dieting needs. Yay second part coming up!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Here is in Australia, nowadays more restaurants pay more attention to people’s dietary requirements. Even for restaurants serving meat, normally they have vegetarian menu too to cater vegetarian people, even though it can be a bit limited. Yay stayed tune guys for the second part 👍🏻♥️

[@mariaandbryan]

@@TwoHungryDiners awesome

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Vegan bubble tea is something that we would love to try. Good choice of flavor.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Definitely try it guys if you have vegan options of bubble tea in Chicago. The staff recommended those 2 drinks to us, glad they both didn’t disappoint 🥰

[@MikkiShihTzu]

I had vegan food once all the way in Vietnam! Lrt me say the food is great when prepared right!! Now that dish sure looks tasty!! Those balls do look tasty!! Lasagna looks yummy too

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Vegan food in Vietnam! That sounds awesome 🤩 Yup these are very tasty and that lasagna is also delicious 🤤 👍🏻

[@HangryByNature]

Oooooo gopals is the best, we eat there all the time!! The food tastes really good and great value. Never tried Gong de lin, great suggestion! It sounds really good and makes me curious to try the substitutes!!! Whaaa vegan bubble tea!! Looking forward to the next episode!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Gopals is really good, isn’t it! Try the Gong De Lin guys, perfect to visit when having no meat kinda day 😄 Yes, we also just discovered this Nuttea recently, for someone who always drinks almond milk instead of regular milk, it’s really perfect for me! 😍

[@clairai]

Woooww this is simply epic! Thank you for doing this!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Wow! the noodles from Gond De Lin looks nice! It's like DIY noodle? oh vegetarian pork? what is it made of? with soybean, probably? looking good!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yeah like a DIY noodle. Yes it’s soy based vegetarian pork. Still can taste that it’s not a real meat but the texture is close 👍🏻

[@FoodandFootprints]

Cream and milk made with nuts sounds interesting. You guys made a good choice on Earl Grey with the chocolate cream, especially mixed together

[@TwoHungryDiners]

These vegan boba drinks are interesting, aren't they! The earl grey with the chocolate cream is recommended by the staff, glad it didn't disappoint 😃

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow Vegetarian Chinese cuisine? that is awesome, I mean they do have a lot of veggies, but how are they substituting the Pekin duck and all the meats they usually use in Chinese cuisine

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes, there are subsets of Chinese people who live as vegetarians, usually it’s because of religious reason. For the mock meat, they usually use soy based mock meat.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

the vegan platter at Gopals looks quite generous and flavorful as well! wow! vegan lasagne? oh... we wonder how it tastes like! oh the pudding looks so yum! love desserts with semolina! 😄

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yep they are generous and flavourful. For the price it is very affordable 👍🏻 We love the vegan lasagna, healthy but still delicious 🤤

[@PogiboyProductions]

Yes go vegetarian today! 😋 That vegetarian lasagna looks good too! I need to eat more veggies too! Desserts!! No cheesecake today hehe... Lord of the Fries! I like the name of that restaurant! A veggie fast food joint! Chicken nuggets, burger, and fries, wow, that's all veggies, can't imagine! Wow, more food!! Noodles, sweet and sour pork, beef.. looks and taste great!! ❤ haha wow even bubble tea is vegan! That looks refreshing! Thanks for the wonderful share guys!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes we went vegetarian for this video, also because it’s Lent so we normally have some days in a week having no meat, perfect timing 👌🏻 We will get that cheesecake for sure on our next visit! Haha Thanks guys for watching 🥰

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh wow the vegetarian Chinese restaurant looks amazing! I would love to try some of the dishes there 😃

[@TwoHungryDiners]

They really nail the flavours, we don’t really feel like missing the meat here haha 🤣

[@TravelInteresante]

Had no idea lord of the fries was vegetarian! That's really cool I remember passing by one of it's locations and assuming it was just a local type of burger spot.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yeah not many people also realise that it is actually a vegan fast food chain. Now you know you need to try next time visiting Australia 😁

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow Vegan and vegetarian food! That is awesome to see you guys are making this video. I wanted to make a video in Spain about how hard it is to eat out for a vegan person, but with the lockdowns, it was hard to execute as I wanted, so I am truly happy you guys made this!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks guys! We would love to see the video about a vegan person in Spain if you ever make it in the future. That’s gonna be an interesting one to watch 👍🏻

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Whoa! Those fries!!! That looks so comforting. And that's a huge burger. Vegan pekin duck?! We can see Chinese food being super delicious regardless of not having meat. The sauces are amazing. It's the same with vegan Mexican food.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Never tried vegan Mexican good except the vegetarian taco we tried in the previous video. Would love to explore more vegan food from other countries 👌🏻

[@walk-in-japan-4k]

It looks delicious! Is it really vegetable food? Nice video Thank you for sharing

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes, they are all plant based food for vegan/vegetarian. So good 🤤

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Crazy! That sweet and sour pork looks the same as the real one!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ikr! Looks exactly like the real deal 👍🏻

[@mariaandbryan]

Lord of the fries! That sounds like my kind of place. If I ever become vegetarian or vegan, all I am going to eat is fries, tomatoes, olives and bread hahahaha oh, and mushrooms too

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahah yeah Lord of the Fries is the place where everyone can enjoy, not only for vegans/vegetarians. Who doesn’t love fries, right? 😁

[@FoodandFootprints]

What do they use for the vegan mango lassi? Can imagine coconut would be good!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We are guessing that too. Next time we will ask the staff. It doesn't taste as creamy as like yogurt from milk no we think about it again 😀

[@SantosChronicles]

Bubble Tea Vegan version. Didn’t realize that being vegan you can’t do Cheese or creamer. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for sharing this unique experience.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yup being vegan means can't consume anything produced by animals too. I love my cheese that's why I can't be a vegan lol 😋

[@RudyVisuals]

I wish we had vegan bubble tea in London! I'm not really supposed to have milk so that would be amazing especially with how amazing nuttea looks!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

With more people are more health conscious, we are having more options for drinks than just regular milk. Maybe one day Nuttea or something similar will open in London and you guys can enjoy dairy free boba drinks too 😄 Thanks guys for watching ♥️

[@SantosChronicles]

I have never gone to a Vegan restaurant before. But Melissa once in awhile does make meatless dishes. So I think Melissa would love places like this. I wouldn’t mind giving it a try especially the lasagna.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Should definitely try once Carl, if you have awesome vegan/vegetarian restaurants nearby. Having no meat day once in a while is actually great. I feel kinda "lighter" haha. Yup that lasagna is worth a try!

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh wow I have mr we eaten at a vegan or vegetarian restaurant before. Those restaurants have great food 😍 I have to definitely try out the lord of the fries though

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You should try it sometime Angie 🙂 They are also serving delicious food that non vegan/vegetarian can enjoy. Yup definitely try Lord of the Fries, it was born in Melbourne and now they have plenty of locations across Melbourne 👍🏻

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

When we think of amazing vegan or vegetarian food, we think of plates like this first spot you're featuring. Love dishes that look natural and tasty, nothing like fake meat. Yes to those kofta balls. You had Nabol at Vegan Lasagna! Haha

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yup agree with you, no fake meat is actually even better than and healthier. Those mock meats are processed food, so it doesn’t make it healthier than real meat I guess. But we just want to show the options here in this video, that’s why we featured the dishes with mock meat. That kofta balls are really good, wish they gave us more than one 🤣🤣

[@PuriandSue]

11.95 for all those is really worth it! So many varieties of dishes available there, looks amazing! I don't think I can do Vegan Lasagna, I need my meat and cheese, but it's definitely great that it's available for the vegan/vegetarians. Awwwh man, the cheesecake does look good, next time!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes, for $11.95 it is really worth the price. We will try the cheesecake next time for sure! 😆

[@FoodandFootprints]

Really not into fake/mock meats, but would be all into the actual vegetable dishes at Gong De Lin 👍 The noodles look nice

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Good call! We didn't realise we picked so many mock meat dishes from that restaurant because we just intended to showcase the chef-recommended / popular dishes from the restaurant. Next time we will try the veggies only dish for sure! 😊

[@leirapacquing89]

Love this guys! Hope you can make a video trying vegan food options in famous Melbs cafes 💘 WOULD LOVE THAT

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thank you so much for watching! ♥️ That’s a great idea, we’ll consider it, maybe for the part 3 👌🏻

[@PuriandSue]

"Chicken" Nuggets look legit! Can't go wrong with Fries! Oooo the burger looks amazing! Would love to try a vegan burger. I'm surprise by the vegetarian dishes in Gong De Lin!! It's crazy to know that it's actually vegetarian, I don't mind being a vegetarian with dishes and "meat" like that!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We are surprised too that Gong De Lin delivers the flavours despite being a vegetarian restaurant. Everything is yummy!

[@PeterandYen]

Yooo we have those lord of the fries here in New Zealand too, didn't know that it is an Aussie chain. The "Chicken" nuggets look pretty good and you seem to give it the big seal of approval. How do they get it tasting so much like chicken I wonder. Vegetarian Chinese restaurants are actually really good, we experienced the good stuff in China once and were skeptical at first but it turned out such a good meal. The spot you guys found looks so tasty too! Even the complimentary dessert looked yum.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah yes, Lord of the Fries has expanded to NZ too 👍🏻 They were born in Melbourne, started as a food truck before moved to permanent stores. The chicken nuggets are pretty close to the real deal, try them if you get a chance 😉 Haha yeah we were skeptical too when we tried vegetarian Chinese food for the first time before, glad it exceeded our expectations so we keep coming back especially when having no meat day 😄

[@SantosChronicles]

Baby Rosalie loves Chicken Nuggets. She would be the ultimate test 🤣. I have been meaning to try a Vegan Burger so I can compare - just haven’t brave enough. You guys make all these foods really good.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahah yeah it doesn't quite the same like the real thing, but it's close! Especially the beyond meat burger. I think beyond meat is a trademark from a US company making plant based burger patty. You might find it there easily since you live in the US 😊 Thanks so much for watching ❤

[@FoodandFootprints]

When it comes to vegan dishes, Indian restaurants are some of the best for it

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We totally agree with that!

[@TravelInteresante]

Wow vegan bubble tea? We honestly wouldn't consider trying it but it seems nuttea really goes above and beyond to make it a tasty option and we'd love to try it now when we make it back your way Peter and Ony!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yes it is cool vegan bubble tea shops, they just recently open here. Glad now we have many options of bubble tea, especially for vegans and those who have problems with drinking cow's milk. Thanks guys so much for stopping by ❤

[@ytsersius]

nice recs! going to Melbourne soon and will defs try these out

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hope you enjoy your visit to Melbourne! 😊

[@leahrox12]

thanks for the suggestions guys!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching 😊

[@user-km2bz8iy5o]

2:24 "very interesting" haha I can tell when you guys are being polite when you don't like something

[@TravelInteresante]

Like Anthony Bourdain famously said... If this was vegetarian food in America, we'd consider going vegetarian as well. The kofte and the lasagna looked incredible.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Whoa, miss his show! A true food legend ❤ Yup, these food are incredibly tasty!

[@gunnertravel]

vegan bubble tea, nice, changing milk with the combination of nuts

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Yup, people are more health conscious these days, and becoming aware of dietary restrictions.

[@wendyjakab5887]

Clean eating without guilt ❤❤

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

Some good Vegan food there. Lord of the Fries came Adelaide a fews ago and everyone was raving about it!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah that's great you have Lord of the Fries now in Adealide. Let us know if you like it if you happen to try it :)

[@cookingwithraheela5291]

Very nice video.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much!! ♥️

[@meenaskitchen1509]

Wow super

[@wendyjakab5887]

Yum ❤

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Wow that cheesecake looks delicious

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Next time we will try it for sure! 😊

[@wendyjakab5887]

Yay ❤❤

[@bailujen8052]

These are the vegan vids I want to see

[@wendyjakab5887]

Lofl is my goto at Flinders St.

[@philbis2774]

That vegan Lasagne is all i eat when i go to Gopals ,,, SO GOOD

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Agree! 💯

[@gunnertravel]

vegetarian food now is getting really really close to meat taste. using only mushroom, tofu and other spices

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You’re right, people are getting smarter and more creative now to produce umami flavour for vegetarian food 👍🏻
