Whatever you “dou-dou”, make sure you get yourself to Camden 👀 {press meal}
If you remember Dou-Dou, the Chinese buffet that was located next to Camden station, you’ll remember how upset people were when it closed down. WELL, guess what – they’ve reopened with new branding, a new location & a new a la carte menu 😍
@veganplanetcamden is a fully vegan Chinese spot with a huge menu. If you love Tofu Vegan (and you KNOW I do), you’re going to love it here too 😍 The menu is fairly similar, just as extensive and the quality is just as good. So, now we have another amazing vegan Chinese spot! 🇨🇳 WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Here’s what I ate:
🌶 Sautéed spicy “chicken” with peppercorn
🥟 Dumplings in chilli sauce
🍗 Sweet & sour “chicken”
🍤 Gong bao “prawn” with cashew nuts
🦐 “Prawn” toast
🥩 Stir fried “beef” with cumin & chilli
🍄Stir fried king oyster mushrooms w/ black pepper sauce
🥟 Shanghai “pork” dumplings
🥬 Stir fried pak choy with garlic & vegan “oyster” sauce
🍜Stir fried “beef” ho fun
💰Prices range from about £8-£14 (with a couple of outliers) so they’re not mega cheap. V similar to Tofu Vegan
💭 I absolutely loved it. From the super welcoming and friendly staff to the dreamy food, this has gone straight onto my list of fave restaurants
🤷🏼♀️ Visit again? Yes
🏆 I’d genuinely eat every single dish again apart from the sautéed spicy chicken but my faves were the chilli wontons, “pork” dumplings, sweet & sour and king oyster mushrooms
