Minder Vegetarian is one of the largest vegetarian buffet chains in Taiwan, with several locations throughout Taiwan. It's a pay-by-weight vegetarian buffet restaurant that is healthier than many other vegetarian buffets that drench their food in sauce. However, what you choose from their buffet will determine how healthy or unhealthy your meal will be -- you can definitely choose an unhealthy meal, so don't think that everything at Minder is going to be healthy just because it's vegetarian. From my pictures, you can see that I'm pretty good at amassing meals that are more on the unhealthy side -- haha.
It's a nice vegetarian buffet that I recommend for vegetarians and people who want to take a break from eating meat. Some carnivores might find it only okay, but I think most will enjoy it if their taste buds aren't totally addicted to super unhealthy foods.
You walk in and grab a tray, paper plate, and some tongs if you're dining in. If you want takeaway, grab a paper lunch box and tongs. Make your way through the buffet, putting whatever on your plate or in your lunch box. Try not to eat with your eyes and take more food than your stomach needs -- I have a problem with this. Go to the cashier who will weigh your food and ask if you want rice or something else that is on the menu on the wall that isn't out in the buffet lines (they'll only speak in Chinese, staff members at Minder don't know English). You can just shake your head no as they talk Chinese if you don't want rice or something else. The price will show on the weighing machine, so if you don't understand the amount that the cashier says in Chinese, you can just look there. Pay the amount, grab some chopsticks, go to the sauce section and add sauce if you want, fill your soup bowl with the blandest soup in the world (I didn't even bother getting it after my first two visits, even if it's free), and find a seat or leave if you have a takeaway lunch box. If you dined in, put your tray and garbage in the correct receptacles, leaving nothing on your table, and leave.
