Food is not the highlight of your temple stay then, as I decide during breakfast, where I am served rice congee and boiled eggplant.
Our first breakfast there, at a three-star Holiday Inn, included a choice of vegan dim sum and plain rice congee, with pickled vegetable condiments; flesh, stewed, and dried fruit; and hot soymilk, along with 'European' corn flakes, tinned vegetarian baked beans, and toast.
