The Best Vegan Food In Asia
conscious living

Our love affair for Asian food began on our honeymoon and is still as steamy as ever. Join us as we taste, slurp and lick our way through two all-time foodie destinations: Vietnam and Thailand. From the textured mastery of Hanoi's crispy rolls to the spicy Bahn Mi and street corner Pho served piping hot in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam never disappointed. Next, we hop into a Tuk-tuk to explore Thailand's legendary markets and an animal sanctuary helping abused elephants heal with a tireless conservationist. From umami bomb noodles in Chiang Mai's exhilarating night markets, to the addictive mango sticky rice of Bangkok's rural floating markets, Thailand was a gift that kept on giving. Back at home, we show you how to make a simple version of Thai favorite, Pad See Ew.
