Only recommend when the other places with vegan options are closed

Some of the other places around had taken a spontaneous rest day, and already had the hot pot at the Harbor Resort Restaurant (碼啡館), so ended up asking around where I could still eat on a Thursday evening.

This is a typical Taiwanese restaurant as can be found in plenty numbers in any tourist area here: Elder staff with little to no awareness for vegan food (had to play the "don't worry if you think it won't be tasty without egg as I will have to pay and eat it"-card). While outside they advertise having veggie food, the menu didn't show any labels and I was referred to the "veggie sides" section. Any non-Chinese speakers, I strongly recommend to show the following sentence and have them point out which dishes can be veganized, as I doubt they speak any English (and I didn't intend to eat green leaves only):
不好意思,我吃純素,請問哪些菜可以做成素食?我是環保素,所以葱薑蒜等五辛都可以,但不要肉,魚,奶,蛋等動物產品,謝謝!(Explaining that one is vegan, but not for religious reasons, so pungent spices like garlic and onion are ok, but no animal products).

I guess most of the veggies and mushroom sides, as well as fried noodles should also be available in vegan.

I had fried rice, and red braised tofu. The portion of the rice should have been bigger, and at 7:45 pm their kitchen was already cleaning up, so I couldn't order more. Taste-wise it was ok, not great, but not bad either.
