RE: Food Trip: Affordable Pinoy Street Food at a Makati City Park
Cheese sorbetes - so cheese ice cream? Wowie! I like the look of Taho, and maybe a sweet veggie (non-dairy if poss) rice cake :D ... nice amble through this cuisine that you so like, you bring it to life @wanderlass. Being veggie, it's tough East of India, it seems, although I've not travelled much (Bali, Phuket).

Yes, that's cheese ice cream and the taho is yummy. Most rice cakes are just made of rice and some flavors. Tamales, as far as I know, is the only one with meat.
Vegetarian options are difficult to find here in the PH because most have meat even veggie dishes. Vegan and vegetarian have been health trends recently so they're more expensive. Even raw veggies are expensive in Manila.
I think you've travelled a lot when I saw your travel diaries. And you can travel again :D
Ya poor little veggies and vegans in S and SE Asia - oyester sauce everywhere too :( .....had meant travelling through this area of the world, but sure, have been lucky to do plenty otherwise :D ...am working on another set of diary travelogues from E.Europe, 1994!
And I can travel again - no roolz and the world is opening up little by little - Yaay! Shame about fresh veg being expensive - crazy! And fruits too?
This is one reason why I want to go. Food and being healthy are just expensive here in Makati. Maybe difficult to find vegan food but you can just make one :)
Yay no roolz. Just go! Looking forward to your E. Europe Travelogues. That's a part of the world I dream to go :)
Oh ya, totally getting down to absolute basics is my food joy. I almost never eat out, I get the basic ingredients I want and I make it - usually simply. The range of food I buy has reduced dramatically in the past 3-4 years and I just make whatever I fancy myself - I can satisfy almost all my taste-cravings now without needing someone to prepare the food for me.
The price of fresh fruit and veg is riduclous in so many parts of the world. When I was a kid in India, there was so much of it, that we used to consider tinned fruit (esp. peaches) to be a treat! Kkkkkkkrazzzzzzzzzzzzzy.
You're fairly well-travelled yourself @wanderlass, where would you like to go? Or is it just 'away'? :D
