Fried Prawn with Mayonnaise, Satay, Chilli Fish – All Vegetarian Food ??!

I held high regards for people that choose not to eat food made from animals because of their compassion to the animals and that they could not bear to see the animals suffer during the killing process.

The same could not be said when vegetarians eat vegetarian food made to taste and look like typical non vegetarian food such as fried prawn, satay or chilli fish.

My mom used to be a strict vegetarian. During Chinese New Year celebration, I used to bring the whole extended family to a vegetarian restaurant for dinner. It is amusing to order vegetarian shark fin soup, vegetarian fried ikan bilis, vegetarian satay, vegetarian chilli fish and vegetarian fried prawn with mayonnaise. See the following photo of vegetarian Peking duck from Ling Zhi Vegetarian Restaurant, does it look like the real Peking duck?

This to me is hypocrisy. On one hand, they do not want to eat the animal but on the other hand would like to make the food taste like food made from animal. I especially despise vegetarians by religion choose to eat such vegetarian food.

This is for sure a personal choice. By I would not hold any regard for such person.
