Dine In: The Ruined Garden
Fes is the culinary capital of Morocco, so it’s well worth centering a trip here revolving around food. The medina has countless stalls serving cheap Moroccan street food, and it takes a significant amount of willpower not to keep on stopping to have a taste. Some say, though, that the best Fassi dishes are those…

Dine In: Wholly Grounds BCD
Bacolod is a food-tripper’s paradise, with a number of restaurants representing different cuisines dotted around the city. Of course, there’s the famed chicken inasal, but for vegans or those simply looking for healthy or environmentally sustainable alternatives, the city also has a couple of plant-based restaurants. One such is Wholly Grounds, located along Lacson Street…

Dine In: Third Eye
Part of the joys in exploring Kathmandu is deciding where to eat, especially in the tourist center of Thamel. Thamel is known for its bustling streets and narrow alleyways, which are lined with restaurants, cafes, and eateries. These establishments offer a rich tapestry of flavors, allowing visitors to indulge in global cuisines. Whether you’re craving…

40 Days of Veganism: 2019 Edition
It’s the time of the year again: when Jollibee serves Tuna Pie and many Catholics (and some Protestant denominations) refrain from eating certain food groups, particularly meat. Personally, for me, it has become less of a religious commitment than an obvious excuse to maintain a vegan diet. For most of the year, it’s really tough…

Dine In: Hummus Elijah
Here’s another dining place in Makati that I’ve been frequenting to but haven’t gotten around to writing about. Hummus Elijah is a vegan-friendly spot in the heart of the red light district of Poblacion and is one of the most popular places per TripAdvisor and Zomato users. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss space since the signs aren’t…

40 Days of Veganism: 2018 Edition
And here we go again. The title’s a misnomer, though, because I have been an on-off vegan since late January (a flexitarian, if you will). For most days of the week, I stick to a plant-based diet, but there are days, particularly when I’m on a really tight budget or when I’m too lazy to…

40 Days of Veganism: 2017 Edition
It’s Lent again, and so I’ve gone vegan again. It’s not officially a part of our church program (I can’t focus full-time on church activities anymore), but I’m still doing it as part of my personal reflection. This is the third straight year I’m removing any animal product from my diet, and as years go by, it’s…

40 Days of Veganism: 2016 Edition
I have become a vegan again for 40 days as part of our church’s prayer and fasting every Lenten season. This period marks a time of reflection to prepare for Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday. The tradition of fasting started with the Catholics a symbol of sacrifice in their lives and is now practiced by some Protestant groups. In…
