Pandesal is undoubtedly the most popular bread in the Philippines. It is denser and mildly sweeter than the american bread roll. Another big difference is that the american version is for dinner while pandesal is for breakfast. The word “pandesal “is derived from the Spanish three words “Pan de sal“. “Pan” means “bread”, and “de sal” means “of salt”. In other words,…

Vegan Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs could be easily veganized by using tofu. I’ve seen versions online where it’s either a tofu scramble that uses cumin or a vegan omelet that needs baking in the oven. My Vegan Scrambled Eggs recipe is a fusion of both vegan versions. As much as I enjoy the tofu scramble with cumin, I miss the…
Vegan Longsilog, Part 1: Garlic Fried Rice
Lately I’ve been more into green smoothies for breakfast, but that doesn’t stop me from eating hearty breakfast food like rice, “eggs”, and “sausages”. I just have them later in the day. Besides, having breakfast food for lunch or dinner seems fun. I always get giddy when I see the words “breakfast food served all day”…

Vegan “Jollibee” Peach Mango Pie
You’ve been warned, this recipe is “sinful”. Peach Mango Pie was something I used to love and would usually get at a Filipino restaurant called Jollibee (the McDonald’s of the Philippines). The filling had ripe yellow mangoes and ripe yellow peaches, and their sweetness and texture go so well together. The crust was crunchy and very comforting. Jollibee‘s Peach Mango Pie…

Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk
Every time my sister is in town, she has only one request. She would ask me to make”Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw“, or “Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk”. Over time, her request has become frequent and automatic that I don’t bother to ask her. Recently, we celebrated her birthday and sure enough, it was the vegan dish on the…
Roasted Tomatoes with Coconut Vinegar
Sometimes people ask me, “Is it hard to go vegan?”. They seemed baffled and amazed, presuming veganism is challenging and daunting at the same time. They would admire my work as “going the extra mile” to sustain my lifestyle. I was once in their shoes, so I rather not give them attitude and feel offended. Instead, I like…
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,…
