[spongee]

para i can cook it by myself na lang...thanks.

I think someone from the States brought home a "veggie meat" called Quorn. It is basically made from soya beans and some forms of fungi (the beneficial ones!!) I haven't come across it in the Phils. but you know how it is... if it is in the States, then you can find it in the Philippines. Just look at the prolifieration of US chocolates and candies, let alone brand names that we thought were only in the US, are now in the Phils!! You can try the upmarket supermarkets. They might have some. Failing that, why don't you just try "tokwa"--- this is the main ingredient/component of "veggie meat"

Mahilig din akong kumain sa Bodhi! Pero kung gusto mo ng talagang masarap na vegetarian food, try eating at Greens (Scout Castor St., near Tomas Morato). Veggie meat heaven. :harp:

Re where to buy frozen veggie meat, I remember seeing some at Hi-Top (Quezon Ave.); andun kasama ng ibang frozen goods (french fries, fish balls, etc.).

I haven't tried them yet, but I will. Soon.

I'll keep you posted. :smiley:

[cutedoc]

i am not sure about the place but i think there is one UN avenue, they sell good vegetarian products.

i eat vegetarian food prepared by the tzu chi cooks, my favorite is their vegetarian tendon, cook like spicy adodo sze chuan stew, the best!!!

[cablespy]

pano ba nagkakaroon ng meat ang plants, dun sa mga nahuhuli nila lamok saka langaw

lol

real meat > veggie meat

[moe]

Check out these places: Unimart Greenhills, Manila Sanitarium and Hospital corner Donada Street (near LRT Gil Puyat Station) Pasay City, Hitop, Varona's Vegetarian Foods Leveriza Street Pasay City near Caltex BUendia, Adventist University of the Philippines Silang, Cavite - left side on your way to Tagaytay (Balibago-TAgaytay Road). Basically veggie meat is made up of soybeans. Tokwa and tofu also come from the same bean. It's a healthy alternative but of course nothing beats the real thing! By the way, the store in AUP sells soya milk and other nutritious stuff so check it out on your way to Tagaytay.

[moe]

There are different kinds of veggie products: Veggie meat, sausage, gluten, tapa, hotdogs, burger etc. then there's also TVP or textured vegetarian protein (not really sure about the acronym). it's dehydrated veggie meat that you soak over night then cook. then of course the world famous tokwa. tokwa and tofu are two different things as you'll find out later. anyways, hope this helps a bit.

sa may luna mencias, malapit sa shaw blvd. supplier ng vegemeat. pagawaan din ng taho at may soya milk din sila. one way nga lang yon tumbok flying V. pag sat. close kasi sabadista yata owner. sarap ng tokwa nila. canteen din sila at may sariling bakery sa loob. HTH

I saw some being sold at UNIMART, Greenhills.

Nung una dinayo ko pa sa manila sanitarium and luckily meron nga sa luna mencias before shaw blvd. vegefood ang name ng mini resto nila. Meron silang dried at meron ding canned veggie meat products. okay yung hopia nila which are made of onions.

Ang sarap kumain dun then take out ng mga cookies, soya milk, breads and hopia.

[moe]

yup, the onion hopia is something else. at AUP they also sell veggie burgers. a big producer of vegefoods , COUNTRY VEGEFOODS, is located somewhere in San Juan. You may also want to check it out. I like AUP wheat bread but Little Corner's Wheat bread is much better.

[drey]

Wow... I like hopia and I'm quite curious about the Onion Hopia. How much are they?

[yebo]

Hmmm... Try mo punta sa Manila Sanitarium. Meron ata dun.

manila sanitaium bwahaha! akala ko joke, meat from manila sanitarium hehehe! reading further down totoo pala meron dun hehehe!

call me kj but we tried bodhi last month, take out. late na and sarado na kasi lahat ng fast food sa SM food court and only bodhi was open, buy-one-take-one pa. we ended up eating sandwiches later since tinapon lang namin, pati aso namin ayaw ng lasa. i suppose it needs getting used to, or simply a matter of taste, or even commitment for the vegetarian. but never again! hangang tokwa lang ako. real meat is king!

[theveed]

I love veggie meat :D

[mhelskie]

you can also try SnR/PriceSmart centers for veggie meats, usually puro imported ang products na tinda nila

[moe]

drey, i guess it's around 30 for a 4 or 5 pack. i grew up with this stuff but for the life of me i can't remember the last time i ate an onion hopia. of course veggie meat is nowhere near the real thing but if you're and imaginative cook then you can make delicious dishes too.

yun nga..u can cook it anyway you want...adobo, kare kare, afritada etc..
and yes..eating veggie meat takes getting used to it..plus its the only food where i can indulge without feeling guilty..

thanks for the replies and infos...

eat healthy...think healthy..live healthy..

[moe]

spongee, you should visit Adventist University of the Philippines located in Putingkahoy, Silang, Cavite. It's along the Balibago-Tagaytay Road, left side on the way to Tagaytay (a few kilometers from Paseo de Sta. Rosa. They sell all sorts of veggie meat products at the College Store as well as wheat bread, onion and mongo hopia, soy milk, soy coffee, etc. There is also a cafeteria where you can buy veggie meat meals as well as other vegetarian/vegetable dishes. Check it out. You can also tour the campus, it's quite big.

I don't like the foods in AUP. I like the veggie foods in MVC far better. I mean, if we are talking about soya milk. Hehehehe...
