Eating vegetarian in Taiwan is easy since most major streets have a vegetarian restaurant of some kind. Usually
the veggie eateries are small food stalls or family-owned shops, some of which offer a buffet spread where guests are charged for food by weight. "Vegetarian"
in Chinese is pronounced, "Chur Su," which translates to, "Eat
vegetables."
Have someone write the character "Su" (with a heavy sound) for you. Once you learn to recognize it, you will be able to recognize the character displayed on signs. The word for "MSG" is also good to know because most restaurants tend to use a heavy amount
of it out of habit. MSG is pronounced, "Wei Jiing," or, "Wei Su." So you could say, "Wo
bu yow wei-jiing," meaning, "I don't want MSG." Egg
is pronounced, "Dun," so say, "Wo bu yow dun," if you don't
want egg. More information on Phrases
in Chinese Characters, Pinyin, and Pronunciation can be downloaded as
