For lunch today, we found ourselves at the most peculiar vegetarian restaurant (which is saying something because we’ve been to a lot of peculiar veggie restaurants). Known simply as Vegetarian House, the restaurant served Chinese dishes featuring a wide assortment of faux meats, some more exotic—fake duck—than others. But what made the dining experience especially odd was how all of us patrons were subjected to a looping video tribute to Ching Hai, a blonde Asian woman known as the Supreme Master. She happens to be the spiritual leader of the Quan Yin Method, which is apparently heavy on vegetarianism and overt methods of persuasion.
We came in for some tofu dumplings and sesame un-chicken but left with more than what we could handle of the house special—the religious teachings of the Supreme Master.
