100% Pure Vegetarian Chinese Restaurant

Imagine how you would react if you found a restaurant serving only vegetarian chinese dishes, considering you are a pure vegetarian (no eggs ) type. I am sure that for a moment you would be really glad. Ashish was real glad when he did see such a restaurant in London. Finding a pure vegetarian restaurant in London and that too a pure vegetarian Chinese, was in itself a task worth being happy about.

He gladly peeked at the menu card and was horrified when he read this
1) Vegetarian Lamb fried rice
2) Vegetarian Chicken Hakka noodles
3) Vegetarian Chicken breast manchurian etc etc.

We had a good laugh together when we later discussed this. We assumed that it must be a joke where the restaurant must be serving lamb and chicken which are reared to be vegetarians.

On further investigation of this is when we realised that the fact is that the restaurant serves pure vegetarian food, where lamb and chicken and any part of their bodies are shaped out of soya and made to look like the former. It was then that we really understood what it means to have a pure vegetarian lamb fried rice in a chinese restaurant.

But it still beats my understanding capacity as to why would anyone want to eat lamb fried rice where the lamb is not lamb but a product of soya...would it not be more appropriate to eat vegetable fried rice or any such counterparts where you do not have to fool yourself....even if it means you are a non vegetarian person turning into a vegetarian.....
