Ooooh I haven't tried this place before. I'll check it out next time I'm in town. Thanks!

I like this place, but I miss the old Banana Family Park! I walked through there a few months ago and I'm not even sure what they're doing with the space now?

I am so down with this recipe!

This sounds delicious and like it would travel well, so I think it might get added to my next round of plane snacks.

It was pretty fantastic :)

If you're hitting Ms Cupcake on the weekend, be sure to look around the rest of Brixton too. There are loads of great vegan options around there, especially on market days...

Re: Cats Who Love Salad

Thanks for the compliment! I also didn't realise cats can't eat onions, so thanks for the tip. Mine love plain lettuce and that confounds me!

Re: Vegan alternatives to fish sauce, shrimp paste, and oyster sauce in Thai cuisine

Kip — Sat, 27 Dec 2014 09:25:56 -0000

Thais don't use faux fish sauce, opting instead for seasoning sauce, soy sauce, or salt as a substitution. Sometimes they'll use vegan shrimp paste (which you can find at any of the jay shops) or fermented beans. Vietnam seems to be the only place! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Hoi An. I haven't been for years and it's such a cute spot to spend a few days.

It's interesting to know you actually saw it in Vietnam. Do you recall where exactly? It's so hard to come by a good vegan fish sauce in the UK that I stockpile when I find anything (I'm hoping the shop I bought that particular bottle from will do an order for me when my supply finally runs out).

Re: Vegan Sorbet and Ice Cream in Bangkok & Chiang Mai

If I remember correctly, there's plain soy flavour, chocolate, and green tea. There may be other too (they rotate flavours from time to time).

Re: The One Thing I Hate About Being Vegan

Yes to empowering people rather than putting them down. There's a fine line between pointing something out kindly and telling someone they're naughty, but one thing is for sure: shutting someone down is more likely to end the conversation than it is to validate someone who is making an effort. I think you hit the nail on the head by saying it's about support rather than a show of superiority!

Re: Hello pie: exit steak, enter mushrooms.

Kip — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 15:06:10 -0000

Hey Tom,

Thanks! And yeah, it should be fine if it's kept refrigerated (the pastry is always best cooked from cold). And save the step of brushing with soy milk until right before it goes into the oven.

Re: A more authentic pad thai

Kip — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 07:56:02 -0000

It is tough to find good Thai food anywhere that isn't in Thailand, sadly. Glad you enjoyed the recipe and thanks again for pointing out my error.

Re: A more authentic pad thai

Kip — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 09:46:22 -0000

Hi Carla,

Thanks for pointing out the error, which I've now corrected. The tamarind and noodles should go in at the same time, so the way you did it sounds rights. Pad Thai is, in my opinion, one of the more difficult Thai dishes to do well at home. You won't find many Thais who cook it, not when it is so readily available on the street by third generation pad thai hawkers!

Re: Nang Htike for Tea Leaf Salad in Yangon

Kip — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 11:31:11 -0000

I don't know what method they use in Burma, but I didn't notice any big difference between that and what I make at home. I'd love to try making it from scratch though!

Re: Nang Htike for Tea Leaf Salad in Yangon

Kip — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 07:53:23 -0000

Myanmar is one of the only countries in the world to eat tea leaves. They are fermented and very salty. There's place in London called Mum's House, a Burmese online supermarket, that sells it. Shan tofu is the easiest thing you will ever make http://www.messyvegetarianc...

Re: Thai herbs: a basil Primer

Kip — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 20:07:33 -0000

Tokyo cafe is good. Jen cafe does some vegan options (so I've been told), and the street food dumpling guy across from there has a vegan vegetable one. Baozi Inn has some good stuff as well. It's been a few years since I've been, but the tofu flower soup thing was ace.

Re: Thai herbs: a basil Primer

You can find holy basil sometimes in Chinatown or the Vietnamese shops in Hackney/Shoreditch, but lemon basil is next to impossible to source in the UK. There are a couple of places online that sell it sometimes (listed here: http://www.messyvegetarianc...
