Q: If a person is pure vegetarian what should he say in restaurant while ordering food?
I'm a vegetarian I would like the vegi menu please...are there any vegetarian meals that you could suggest to me....
ya you can ask for greens like spinach,broccoli,corn,cabbage etc...these are foods that are easily avaliable in Chinese restaurent.
If you speak Chinese then you should not have any problem asking for veggie dishes without meat. Many of them are made with pork or other meat, so be careful. Otherwise go to resteraunts with a peson who speaks Chinese and knows your diet, and can order accordingly.
I don't eat red meat myself and I have managed fine, although it causes headaches sometimes.
NO MOO MOO BA BA OR CLUCK CLUCK OR WOOF WOOF

Thanks, that gave me a good laugh. I just pictured somebody doing the actions to go with the sounds while trying to order. Very funny.
There's no easy phrase. You'll need to know enough Chinese to explain that you don't want pork broth (不要骨头汤), lamb broth, etc, because in their definition of vegitarian those don't count as meat.Ｉcan assure you, after trying to help a hipster former colleague of mine, that they wont get what you mean, why you object, and they probably wont have anything on the menu for you anyway.
Best bet is to try to find one of those Buddhist vegetarian places, but they're not too common.
