Cambodia Vegan Tour Well, it’s actually happened, and oh boy was it lots of fun, the first ever 14 day Cambodia Vegan Tour. During covid we were approached by the award winning team behind Vegan Travel Asia who asked would we be interested in curating a Cambodia Vegan Tour for them. Having lived in Cambodia for more than 8 years, during which time we’ve explored the country, finding, eating and writing about the best vegan food, it was an offer we could not refuse. So from early 2021 this project has kept us busy, developing existing connections, making new connections and bringing them all to ..read more

Vegan Guide to Mexico Published January (our Vegan Guide to Mexico is a guest post from Anesa Kratovac) Mexican cuisine is known to be some of the most savoury and delicious in the world! But, when most people think of the country’s main dishes, they picture tacos with beef and enchiladas smothered in milky cheese. Fortunately for vegans, the vegan Mexican food scene has developed tremendously over the last decade and major cities, cultural hubs, and touristy places like Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende offer healthier and plant-based versions of traditional Mexican favourites.

Exciting times to be vegan in Siem Reap After a couple of years of lockdowns, closures and covid related problems it really feels that Siem Reap has turned a corner and life is returning to the (new) normal times that we have all missed. The removal of all covid based restrictions for vaccinated travellers, the re-opening of hotels and restaurants and the incredible new look roads and riverside have made us happy, whilst seeing tourists wandering the (beautiful new) streets has made us very happy. In addition to the overall feelings of positivity, we have to say that these are also exciting ti ..read more

Vegan food in Bassac Lane, Phnom Penh Things change quickly in Cambodia. In December 2021 we were asked to publish a guest post that highlighted the vegan options in and around Bassac Lane, Phnom Penh’s very own bustling pub street ares, host to locals, travellers, expats, and tourists, with its mixture of bars, restaurants and cafes.

Sihanoukville Vegan Staycation The one bit of advice we always give to our friends, family and followers when they are making a dinner reservation or booking a hotel stay is to communicate with their chosen restaurant or hotel pre arrival.

This way, you can be sure that your diet is fully understood and you have some sort of agreement of what can be expected during your stay or on offer from the menu. Sometimes however, this ..read more
