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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.
