Vegetarian Products

Back in South Africa, I am a huge fan on Fry’s vegetarian products; in fact I cannot go two days without consuming one of their delicious soya products. Finding vegetarian products in Korea can be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. After a long search I posted a desperate plea on the Facebook page, For South African’s in South Korea, asking anyone if they knew of a place that sold vegetarian products. After a few days of patiently waiting, my prayers were answered. I was informed about a quaint little restaurant in Insadong, Seoul that sold Vegefood vegetarian products.

The restaurant’s name is Sanchon. It serves Buddhist temple food in a charming, ornate setting. It is however quite difficult to find. If you take line 3, get off at Anguk Station and take exit 6. Walk past the tourist information stand and into Insadong shopping street. The restaurant is down one of the alleys on your left.

If you do not live in Seoul, Vegefood also deliver their products. Visit their website at www.vegefood.co.kr or give them a call at 031-591-4181.

Here are two examples of Vegefood products. I find the one on the left to be a little dry, however the one on the right is delicious. Vegefood also has wonderful cocktail sausages that are great on the braai (barbecue).
