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...

Most chinese restaurants on Guam can make vegan soup and stir fry. Be sure to tell them no oyster sauce, meat stock, or seafood. Often times, telling the chef you want Monk's food will clear things up for him. Chinese are familiar with what Buddhist monks eat. And Chinese Buddhists often have days where they eat only vegetarian food. These days are similar to days where Catholics give up meat during Lent, but much stricter since Buddhists cannot eat any meat or meat product on that day.
