Tom Yum soup with vegan prawns

[samvara]

I had a very nice soup with little prawn-shaped thingies made of tofu with tiger stripes painted on them. The texture and flavour is different but definitely reminiscent of prawn-ness.

I'm not entirely clear on why a vegan would want to eat something dressed up as a dead animal, however I support having access to as many textures and flavours as possible.

Tom Yum soup is increasingly featuring tomato, a trend I do not support.
