Way before I discovered and tried kale, goji berries, maca powder, and hemp seeds, I was munching on these tiny, green leaves called Moringa or in Tagalog “Malunggay“. I fondly recall the name Malunggay because that’s what my aunts would call my mom -her name is Malou so hence the nickname, “Malou-nggay“. Growing up in the Philippines, I used…
Suman Moron for Valentines Day
The name itself is a conversation starter. After all, it sounds like you’re referring to “moron” as in “idiot” in the English language. Perhaps you could make it a clever way to break the ice on a date and have a good chuckle. Or to spite Valentines Day when it is not your preferred holiday. After all,…
Where to Eat Vegan in Napa
Call me lucky, but I have friends who are always the first to learn about upcoming vegan events in town and out. Six months ago, my friend Rosie alerted me that vegan cookbook author and vegan culinary celebrity, Isa Chandra Moskowitz will be in Napa on February 8th for a cooking tour. The event sold out quickly…
Superfood Vegan Polvoron Recipe
“Super foods” used to be so foreign to me. Back then, I wouldn’t even touch hemp seeds, maca root powder, chia seeds, and the like with a ten-foot pole. I was sticker shock by the price! They’re usually double if not triple the price compared to other vegetables and fruits in season. I just didn’t understand what was…
Where to Eat Vegan: Flacos, Berkeley
Flacos is a quaint vegan Mexican restaurant in Berkeley. I’d like to believe it has a mission similar to Astig Vegan’s: to pay homage to a culture by veganizing its cuisine while preserving its authenticity. I met up with my friend Clare to have lunch with her and to catch up while she’s visiting the Bay Area. At the…
Favorite of the week: Abba Hair Conditioner
Last week, my best friend and I went to the beauty store, Ulta, just to check it out. Of course, “just to check it out” doesn’t end with anyone empty handed. I walked out of the store with this hair conditioner: Ulta was having a big sale that day. I got 50% off Abba…
Where to Eat Vegan: Blaze, Fremont
Believe it or not, my best friend and I exchanged holiday gifts just last week. My best friend, Lhen visited the Philippines so I had to wait for her to come back. Meeting up for the holidays has become our tradition; we would meet up, eat good food, exchange gifts, catch up with what’s new, and reminisce the good old days….
Worth it or not? Rouxbe Online Cooking School
I remember when I was debating whether or not I should enroll in an online cooking school called Rouxbe. The tuition fee costs $1,500 for a six-month plant-based cooking course and I wasn’t sure if it was worth the money. After all, there are tons of free information online, right? Most of my friends and my…
Dining at Millennium Before It Closes Down
Bittersweet news. The vegan fine dining restaurant, Millennium in San Francisco is closing down. Bittersweet because it won’t be renewing its lease but it will move to another location, possibly in the East Bay. So while it’s not really goodbye but see you later, my friends and I still decided to have dinner here for one last…
Recipes and Ideas for a Vegan Brunch Potluck
To ring in the new year, my friends and I got together for a vegan brunch potluck. For the theme, we went with brunch because we love breakfast food. Breakfast food is typically loaded with meat, eggs, and dairy but veganizing it is surprisingly attainable. As long as you do your research, you’ll find the recipe you’re looking…
