Take Your Veggie
After a wildly successful pop-up take over at Longfusi’s Mona Bar earlier this year, the colorful culinary artists from vegan showstopper Take Your Veggie (TYV) are back with their second pop-up installment, this time at Peiping Machine’s Sour Tower in Fangjia Courtyard 46. Local chefs Enlin Zhou and Lesley Gao decided to reprise a couple of fan favorites from Mona, however, most of the menu is brand new. On the burger front, you’ve got a BBQ Beefy Burger (pictured at top) stacked with vegan “beefsteak” strips slathered in American BBQ sauce as well as the Vegan Salmon Burger featuring a slice of vegan salmon, seaweed sauce, and shredded nori.

From Dry January to No-Shave November, the modern calendar is conveniently divided into 12 periods of 30(ish) days meant for self-reflection and improvement. These monthly challenges offer folks an opportunity – as well as a community and support system – to approach lifestyle choices that they may have been pondering for a while but otherwise lacked the confidence or resolve to tackle in earnest.

Dicos announces plans to replace egg dishes with vegan alternative
Last Tuesday, the domestic fast-food chain and KFC rival Dicos announced plans to add a vegan egg option to their menu at more than 500 stores across China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Liaoning and Shandong provinces. The news comes a mere three months after the fast-food joint added a plant-based chicken burger to all of their 2,600 locations on the mainland.
