Homie is the only Shanghainese vegetarian restaurant I’ve encountered in Taiwan, and since that’s where my grandmother is from, the cuisine holds a special place in my heart. Ricky, the owner, was very friendly when I went to dine solo shortly after moving to Taichung. I was unfamiliar with where to find organic produce, and he was the person who recommended the Taiwan Fresh Supermarket (楓康超市) chain to me. In fact, he uses their organic soy bean sprouts in the Nanjing-style soy bean sprouts (寧式黃豆芽) side dish. The Shanghainese steamed gluten (上海烤麩) is also well-made. I really appreciated the very fragrant coconut oil pot stickers (椰子油鍋貼) filled with salted mustard greens. However, the Shanghainese vegetable rice casserole (上海蔬菜飯) could have benefited from more vegetables. The date paste roasted biscuit (棗泥鍋燒餅) was a delightful conclusion to our lunch.

Pros: mostly vegan, cozy ambience, friendly staff
Cons: only serves white rice
