If you haven't already, it is absolutely essential that you go to the vegan Chinese restaurant Singapore at 10th (?) and Race. Best vegan general tso's ever.

I started converting to veggieness maybe 7 months ago, haven't eaten any meat for about 4 months. I eat too much cheese to give up dairy for right now. I haven't had any problems at all, but along the lines of what absntr said, I sometimes miss sushi and other delicious Japanese food.
