Our Comments: Chinese and Thai take-away with a large range of bean curd and vegetable dishes. Say you don’t want any egg. The satay sauce is probably not vegan. The ginger and spring onion bean curd contains oyster sauce. The Szechuan style bean curd is described as 'sea spice' flavour so might not be vegan. Also have take-aways in  Cardiff (Cathays and Ely).
