Looked up pork sung and found your site. Yes there are vegetarian types made out of mushrooms too and also fish types (but I don’t know if fish is in your diet). All very tasty! I’m Chinese but born in Los Angeles. I grew up with pork sung but as an adult I don’t prefer to eat pork. So I look for the vegetarian one.

As a vegetarian living in southeast Asia, I can tell you that there is definitely the concept of vegetarian in Asia. Most Buddhist Monks are vegetarian and some are strict vegans who don’t even eat onions. In Chinese, the word for vegetarian is 素 or 斋. I hope it helps you if you travel through Asia again.

Hi Micki

just came across your site, as a Asian vegetarian, need to let you know, there is vegetarian meat floss, I can confirm you can get them in vegetarian supplier shops readily in Taiwan and Singapore.

While my husband traveled most of Asia before he retired from the USAF, I have not. However my unexpected eat was while I was in Haiti. I have been traveling back and forth from Haiti for over 10 years and decided I would “GO Local” and try a food vendor with some of my Haitian friends. We can to a dish that looked sooo good. It included a fried bananas, a pickled hot slaw, and what looked exactly like little cuts of grilled steak. So I decided that this would be something not to crazy, yah right! After I finished what was one of the best tasting meals I have ever eaten I had a bright idea to ask what cut of steak I had eaten and how they cooked it. All to my surprise they began to explain that it was pig intestines that they had soaked in lime juice, boiled, and then hard grilled. I am not a vegetarian but I am not a fan of intestines either. All I could say was WOW!

As a 3rd gen vegetarian and in the travel space your post hit home in a big way! Very funny and a great look into food culture. I am adding “meat wool” into my translator today. 🙂
