Vegan Cleaning

I have met four vegans on Guam, the first is now my partner, the second runs Simply Food, the third has left island, and the fourth, most recently, is Antares. I met her at the last Vibrant Living raw food event.


She owns the only home cleaning service on Guam that uses natural products. To ask about her services, please contact her at:

UOG Student Vegan

I am not a fan of food in Mangilao. There are not very many choices, even for carnivores! Anything worthwhile is at least a 15 minute drive away, which doesn't sound like much except that it costs time, gas, and did I mention time?

The UOG cafeteria, which is open for lunch in the Student Center, offers a few choices.
1. The cafe offers a Boca burger sandwich on wheat bread. Sounds potentially appealing? The burger is microwaved, the starches will put you asleep during class, and they don't have vegan dressing for the sandwhich... you might as well eat at McD....

2. On Mondays and Fridays, one of the vendors offers Mongolian BBQ. A plate with just veggies costs $4, and adding tofu is an extra charge.  They cook your veggies on a surface that has contacted meat, however that is no different than any other restaurant out there except for Simply Food. The dish is pretty good, if you seasoned it right. The huge negative for me is the thick layer of oil the veggies are swimming in and the two lumps of white rice.

Off campus options:
1. Subway offers a vegetarian sandwhich, which is basically a salad surrounded by a bun. At least they can toast the bread for you!?!

2. I.P. Cafe offers a great atmosphere to kick back between classes, order a drink from the lovely baristas (say hello to Tanya and Erica), browse the internet, and order some vegetarian dishes including a sandwich, wrap, and stir fry. Beware that their dishes may have dairy.  The downside to this cafe is that the food takes a long time to prepare, so don't go there if you don't have the time to wait!

Long Xing Chinese Restaurant, Tumon

There are a few restaurants that are open late into the night as the last stop before heading home. One of these restaurants is Long Xing Chinese Restaurant in Tumon. It is located in a strip mall next to Ban Thai and across from Acanta Mall.

They had a few vegan dishes on the menu. We ordered Chinese brocolli and added fried tofu. It was very delicious with lots of garlic, although a little greasy.

 

 We also ordered an eggplant and mushroom dish. There were two kinds of mushrooms, the typical canned mushrooms and the rare mushroom, which in Hawaiian is called pepeau (ear mushroom).  This dish is definately for the adventurous! It had a soft and wet saucy feel, and very flavorful. Again, it was seasoned with garlic, but it was more on the greasy side.

It was a worthy adventure, a solid 'B.'  Would I try it again? Depends on how hungry I am in the middle of the night after a night of salsa dancing...
