Vegetarian in Singapore

I often get a surprised look when my local skating friends first find out I'm vegetarian. The first question would be "where do you get your energy from?". The next question is, "then... where can we go to eat?".

Eating out poses some restrictions, but most of my friends are adapting and look for places where I can find something to eat. Over the years, my DH and I have set up a blog, Vegetarian Dining, about our experiences as vegetarians in Singapore and also as we travel around the wold.

Some years ago, I had a coach who disliked eating with me - not because of the restrictions on where to eat but because he didn't like the thought of me not eating meat!

So... if a person who eats vegetables is called a vegetarian, shouldn't a person who eats humans be called a humanitarian?

I am a vegetarian too, I think probably for like 17 yrs? :)

It takes some time for those around us to be comfy. We are the odd ones out after all. Hee .. hee .

Looks like Daniel beat me to it! I was going to say the smae thing. Though I was in Singapore last month and did wonder as to where the vegetarians would frequent? But I guess where there's a will there's a way!
