What`s vegetarian in Le Bistro Vert

          In the heart of Makati , not far across Valero lies a great place which caters food which has vegetarian options, I wish every restaurant would do. But nothing beats sustainable foods at Le Bistro Vert when it comes to healthy living. Sustainable food is the way of sourcing most of the ingredients from local farmers and producers, community groups, small organic farms or those which do not use any chemicals that are toxic to the environment.







Here are some photos:

                Like Kape Isla Philippine coffee, which main ingredients are composed of coffee beans sourced from our own local farmers. It represents quality Philippine coffee. If you want to experience this try "Have a free cup of Kape Isla sustainable coffee at Le Bistro Vert" until March 31. To avail of the free coffee offer, the code "KapeIsla164" must be mentioned. This offer is only valid at Le Bistro Vert, Fraser Place, Valero Street, Makati City.

                   And this trend is the latest culture when you are into healthy lifestyle, which we all should practice. It is not all about eating organic of food, it is not vegetarianism, it is the aim to support earth-friendly initiatives and help sustain local farmers. It is adopting the green lifestyle out of love for food, and Le Bistro Vert is the place to be. It is located in the heart of Makati specifically at the Streetside, Fraser Place Tower, Valero Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City. Also check their interiors it is well designed, has calming aura and perfect for health awareness. This awareness is ideal to all of us which I all learned from Chit Juan, one of the ECHOstore Sustainable Lifestyle pioneers, she has a lot of food trivia tips, and when she`s around you`ll be fascinated when she tells you how does she consumes food, She also shared about the importance of ECHOstore Body Basics as part of the lifestyle. These are natural personal care products that contains no harmful chemicals. ECHO is the acronym for Environment & Community Hope Organization. By patronizing ECHO products you are helping local community groups and the environment as well. This is a practice of nurturing the self, the community, and the planet, a combination of different advocacy in one Eco friendly store.

Vegetarian Venues in the Philippines

A VEGETARIAN TREAT IN ZAMBO

If you’re vegetarian/vegan and you have a scheduled trip to Zamboanga City soon, don’t worry about what you’re going to eat there, because there is VE-G QUEEN.

VE-G QUEEN is a Chinese-owned air-conditioned buffet restaurant. They have 10-12 viands on their menu and freshly-squeezed fruit/vegetable juices. The viands include pure vegetable dishes and meat-substitute-based ones (their veggie meat is really good, not the rubbery sort), all of which have distinct flavors of their own (plus a little bit of a Chinese taste to them).

This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where you get the viands you want and put them on your plate. You then bring your plate to the counter and have it weighed! I don’t know exactly how much per gram costs, but I got a moundful of food (with around 8 viands) and only paid a little over a hundred. That includes rice, carrot juice, and a stick of bbq (which is priced differently).

VE-G QUEEN is not popular among the locals. Even our contact person was surprised in finding out that there is such a place in her own city that serves pure vegetarian. In fact, it is located in a narrow dead-end, not far from the central cathedral. You have to know it’s there to find it. It has been around for a few years, and is owned by a Chinese family who settled in the area. They also offer the usual organic products and promote “miracle vegetables” and alternative health medicines and practices.

It’s commendable how some entrepreneurs would think of setting up a business that is not quite popular in the community and yet, they still do just because they advocate for it and would want to spread the belief of vegetarianism.

So the next time you find yourself in Zamboanga City, you know where to go. Search the cathedral, look for the narrow dead end, and find yourself delighting in the tastes of a buffet of wonderful vegetarian food.

BLISSFUL BELLY

With the absence of cholesterol, fats, and other toxins from animal meat, and cruelty and evil in slaughtering animals, vegetarian food is truly delicious, healthy, kind, and environment-friendly. And there is a vegetarian restaurant which has pushed these good karmas further.

Located in the Llanar Bldg along Xavierville Avenue in Quezon City, Blissful Belly boasts of popular local dishes made vegetarian, cooked with less oil and salt and made with commercial pesticide-free ingredients. Its owner, Dr. Omar Arabia, is a licensed oncologist who practices integrative medicine – the marriage of traditional, naturopathy and homeopathic treatments. The food served in his restaurant is practically medically supervised. His patients, as well as vegetarians and raw and organic food consumers, compose the regular customers.

Regular viands on the menu are kare-kare, kaldereta, togue, curry, soups, and the famous (and addicting) tofu sisig, complemented with organic brown rice, for only P80-P100 per meal. There are also fresh fruit shakes and juices, the most popular and healthiest of which is the lettuce-apple juice, and sugar cane juice (I remember my childhood days when I used to chomp on real tubo and squeeze all the juice out). Desserts served include cakes (carrot, prune and carob – or chocolate-like flavor) and eggless and dairy-free pastries. Other organic products are also on sale – baking needs, wheat germ, Bragg’s products, teas, even toothpaste and hair dyes.

I’ve been to almost all the veggie places in the city, and enjoyed all of them definitely, and Blissful Belly remains my favorite. It is only Blissful Belly food which I can describe as truly “bursting with flavor.” The food tastes alive, and it gives one the sense of experiencing the fruits of the earth at their rawest and truest flavors – pure and unadulterated essences. Your belly will be truly blissful!

Manila Sanitarium

The Manila Adventist Medical Center and Colleges,inc. is a bible based, privately owned and operated educational institution that offers medically related courses ranging from long term academic degrees to short term certificate courses. The campus is located adjacent to its own private hospital the Manila Adventist Medical Center with in the city of Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Both the colleges and hospital are run by the Filipino Seventh-day Adventist Church. Since the colleges are integrated with the hospital, it does not have an independent name to refer to itself distinctively from the hospital hence it assumes the name "Manila Adventist Medical Center and Colleges".


This is a good place to walk-in if your around Buendia LRT.
For vegetarians it is still being called Manila Sanitarium the way we use to call it.

They just renovated their Cafeteria this year .Look now it is more than fine dining.

trivia:
The hospital and school were renamed from Manila Sanitarium Hospital to Manila Adventist Medical Center in 2002 and from School of Medical arts to Colleges in 2007.
