Many people followed our page long before they tasted our food 💛 Some came because of the family behind this small shop.

This is Ping An - plant-based since birth 🌿

Papa Dusit drives him to school every morning. From Wednesday to Saturday, he comes straight from school to the shop.
No nap. No long rest.

First — homework at a dining table.
Then small helping hands: wiping tables, arranging things, smiling at customers.

Not forced. Not heavy work.
Just growing up in a family business 💛

He eats like any other child —
noodles, tofu, vegetables, fruit, plant milk.

On shop-closed days, he trains Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Full energy. Big smiles.

We are not trying to prove anything.
Just sharing that plant-based kids can grow, play, learn, and live fully —
just like any other child 🌱

Thank you for supporting our little family. This shop is not only about food…it’s about growing up together 💛

หลายคนติดตามเพจเรามานาน
ก่อนจะได้ชิมอาหารจริง 💛 บางคนบอกว่ามาเพราะ “เรื่องราวครอบครัวเรา”

นี่คือผิงอัน — เด็กที่กินเจตั้งแต่เกิด 🌿

ป๊าบอยไปส่งโรงเรียนทุกเช้า
พุธ–เสาร์ เขากลับจากโรงเรียนมาที่ร้านเลย
ไม่มีงีบ ไม่มีเวลาพักยาว

ถึงร้านก่อนคือทำการบ้าน
แล้วช่วยงานเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ
เช็ดโต๊ะ จัดของ ยิ้มให้ลูกค้า

ไม่ได้ถูกบังคับ
แค่เติบโตในธุรกิจครอบครัว 💛

อาหารก็เหมือนเด็กทั่วไป
บะหมี่ เต้าหู้ ผัก ผลไม้ นมพืช

วันร้านปิดไปยิม
ซ้อมมวยไทย เทควันโด
พลังเต็มเหมือนเดิม

เราไม่ได้พยายามพิสูจน์อะไร
แค่อยากเล่าว่าเด็กที่กินพืชล้วน
ก็เติบโต เล่น เรียน และมีความสุขได้
เหมือนเด็กทุกคน 🌱

ขอบคุณที่รักครอบครัวเล็ก ๆ นี้
ร้านนี้ไม่ได้มีแค่อาหาร
แต่มีเรื่องราวของการเติบโตไปพร้อมกัน 💛

🔥 The weather is heating up again… but the craving for laksa never really leaves 😅

Our Signature Laksa with Dumplings & Noodles is rich, fragrant, comforting — yet not heavy. The kind of bowl you plan to savour… and somehow finish completely 🍜

✔️ Hokkien noodles + Rice Noodles (double noodles)
✔️ Dumplings
✔️ Tofu with the perfect texture — not too soft, not too firm
✔️ Fresh crunchy vegetables
✔️ Generous bean sprouts
✔️ A sprinkle of aromatic pepper
✔️ Deep, flavourful coconut broth that’s easy to sip

Many guests say the same thing after the first spoonful…
“This is so delicious.” ❤️

✨ 100% plant-based
✨ No animal products
✨ Fully vegan kitchen — peace of mind in every bite

Hot day or cool day, this is comfort food that satisfies without weighing you down 🌶️

See you today 💛

🌱 When the world feels heavy,
choose kindness where you can.

is a quiet act of goodness.

Because we knew Ping An…
our hearts changed — for good 💚

Our family started like most people.
We ate meat for more than 35 years.

In 2011, PaPa Boy and Mama Fon decided to stop eating meat and became vegetarian. At that time, we thought that was already enough.

We never questioned eggs or dairy.
We simply didn’t know.

Then in 2013, Ping An was born.

At about 18 months old, he had a severe allergic reaction to peanut butter. Tests later showed he was also allergic to eggs and milk.

So Ping An became
the first 100% vegan in our family.

We followed.

As we learned more,
we began to understand the hidden reality behind eggs and dairy.

That was the moment everything changed.

Not because we were trying to be perfect.
Not because we were better than anyone.
But because we finally understood.

Today, we live a fully plant-based life
with gratitude, not pressure.

If you are vegetarian,
we gently invite you to explore further.
Even one vegan meal sometimes
can make a difference.

And for our family…

Thank you, Ping An,
for coming into this world
and changing our lives forever.

🌱 เพราะเราได้รู้จัก “ผิงอัน”

หัวใจของเราจึงเปลี่ยนไป…ตลอดกาล 💚

ครอบครัวเราเริ่มต้นเหมือนคนทั่วไป
กินเนื้อสัตว์มาตลอดชีวิต มากกว่า 35 ปี

ในปี 2011 ป๊าบอยและหม่าม้าฝนตัดสินใจ
หยุดกินเนื้อสัตว์ และเริ่มเป็นมังสวิรัติ
ตอนนั้นเราคิดว่า แค่นั้นก็ดีพอแล้ว

เราไม่เคยตั้งคำถามกับไข่หรือนม
เราเพียงแค่ “ยังไม่รู้”

จนกระทั่งปี 2013 ผิงอันเกิดมา

เมื่อเขาอายุประมาณ 1 ขวบครึ่ง
เขามีอาการแพ้รุนแรงจาก Peanut Butter
ผลตรวจภายหลังพบว่าเขาแพ้ไข่และนมด้วย

ผิงอันจึงกลายเป็น
คนแรกในครอบครัวที่กินเจ 100%

ป่าป๊าและหม่าม้าจึงเริ่มกินเจตามลูก

เมื่อเราเริ่มศึกษาและเรียนรู้มากขึ้น
เราจึงเข้าใจความจริงที่ซ่อนอยู่
เบื้องหลังไข่และนม

และนั่นคือช่วงเวลาที่ทุกอย่างเปลี่ยนไป

ไม่ใช่เพราะเราต้องการความสมบูรณ์แบบ
ไม่ใช่เพราะเราดีกว่าใคร
แต่เพราะเราเพิ่ง “เข้าใจ”

วันนี้ ครอบครัวเราใช้ชีวิตแบบ plant-based
ด้วยความรู้สึกขอบคุณ ไม่ใช่ความกดดัน

หากคุณเป็นมังสวิรัติ
เราอยากชวนให้ลองศึกษาเพิ่มเติม
บางครั้ง เพียงหนึ่งมื้อเจในบางวัน
ก็อาจสร้างความเปลี่ยนแปลงได้

และสำหรับครอบครัวเรา…

ขอบคุณผิงอัน
ที่เกิดมาและเปลี่ยนชีวิตของเราไปตลอดกาล 💚

💚 OUR JOURNEY WAS NOT PERFECT. 💚

The first photo was taken in 2014 —
the day our family received Australian Citizenship 🇦🇺

At that time, we had already started eating plant-based. But we were still working in a meat restaurant.

Change didn’t happen overnight.

We were learning.
We were questioning.
We were growing.

It wasn’t easy.
It wasn’t simple.
It wasn’t black and white.

From 2014 to 2017, we slowly built the courage to stand fully in what we believed.

In 2017, we opened our own 100% vegan restaurant.

Not because it was the most profitable choice. But because it was the most honest one.

Today, maybe only 1–3% of people worldwide identify as vegan.
We know we are part of a small minority.

But every movement begins small.

More than 20% of our customers are not vegan.
Some try once.
Some return.
Some become regular.

Even one plant-based meal
is a small step toward kindness.

We don’t judge anyone.
We understand the struggle —
because we lived it.

If one day our business cannot survive,
we will close quietly with gratitude.
But we will never build success on animal suffering.

From 2014 until today,
we are still choosing to grow.

Thank you for walking with us.
Thank you for giving a small 2% dream a place to stand.

With love,
Fon, Dusit & Ping An 💚

🌱 Adelaide is home to these beautiful 100% vegan businesses.

Not vegan-friendly.
Not plant-based options.
But fully vegan kitchens.

No shared grills.
No mixed fryers.
No cross-contamination.
Just integrity from prep to plate. 💚

🗓 Updated: 27 February 2026

Each one represents courage.
Each one chose the harder path.
Each one keeps a fully vegan space alive in Adelaide.

This isn’t about competition.
It’s about community.

When vegan supports vegan,
we protect safe spaces.
We protect standards.
We protect compassion.

If we’ve missed any 100% vegan businesses, please comment below so we can keep this list growing together 🌱

Let’s share this far and wide.
Let’s keep these spaces strong.

Nothing’s gonna change our love for kind food 💚

Today we visited
📍 Veggie Vie

In the heart of sausage country…
a fully vegan café serving plant-based schnitzel, pumpkin rice balls, and pistachio croissants 🌿

Golden Mushroom Schnitzel.
Wholesome Pumpkin & Rice Balls.
Flaky Pistachio Croissant.

When we support fully vegan businesses,
we’re not just buying food.
We’re strengthening a kinder system.

No compromise.
Just plants. Just heart. Just intention.

💚 Nothing’s gonna change our love for kind food. 💚

Not our shop. Just pure support.

About PingAn Veggie Time

We are a vegan family who are passionate about creating delicious, healthy meals and would love to share it with you. Our son, PingAn has been raised on veggies since birth, and he's a happy and healthy boy. That's why we are inspired to open this restaurant and named it after him. PingAn Veggie Time was the first Thai Vegan Restaurant in Brisbane for 2 years.

We offer vegan versions of Thai favourites such as Pad THAI, Homemade THAI green curry with plant based meat, Homemade Veggie Spring Roll, Homemade Thai Curry Puff with lentils, etc.

We now moved to Adelaide and open the first Thai Vegan Food Stall in Plant 4 Market, 5 Third St, Bowden SA 5008. https://www.plant4bowden.com.au/

Tuesday: 12-2 pm. Wednesdays & Fridays: 12 pm.- Late Saturday: 12 - 3 pm.
