Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Just a shout out to my vegetarian friends: I found out tonight that the red and green curries at Blue Orchid are not vegetarian even if you choose the tofu option; they contain shrimp paste. Likewise, the seared garlic entrée may contain fish sauce if you don't make a point to ask that it not be added.

Our server was veggie-aware and helpful, but had the misconception that while a vegan might object to shrimp and/or fish, a vegetarian would be okay with them. It's probably wise, therefore, to tell the server you are vegan when ordering, even if you are ovo-lacto.
