I have always been eating pork, meat and anything that you could think of that are unhealthy. I tried to eliminate rice as a form of a sacrifice last holy week but I know you bet on it. You are right, nagbalik-loob ako with rice last Easter Sunday.
What about you guys? Have you ever thought on changing your diet in your aim to being healthy? I have thought of being a Vegan once, but I guess it would entail a lot of discipline especially in my case where I am not that expert in preparing food on my table. 😑
How about a thought of shifting to vegan lifestyle? Go ahead, and try it out. Actually, last week, I was able to talk to a Vegan where she shared how she prepares her food. And honestly, I would say, it isn't complicated after all. I've met her at Marriott Hotel Manila during the launch of their amazing Vegan menus. Yes guys, Veganism has landed at Marriott Hotel Manila!
Imagine your usual vegetables reinvented by their award-winning chefs. In case you run out of ideas on where to get your plant-based cravings, you know where to go— because Vegan or not, it is a culinary treat to get your hands into – now!
3-course Vegan Menu at Cru Steakhouse
I never thought Vegan menus can taste this good! Yes, you heard me right guys. The vegan food that I was able to try are not the typical "walang lasa" "Lasang goma" Vegan food that almost all of us expect.
We were served with a 3 course Vegan menu where Vegan has gone fancy —everything tasted just so right.
Chickpea Falafel (appetizer)
We began with a Mediterranean appetizer — Chickpea Falafel, made more flavorful with lemon-artichoke puree and grape relish and cilantro oil.
Grilled Forest Mushroom and Leeks (Main Course)
Main course is like a “walk in the forest” with Grilled Forest Mushroom and Leeks stuffed with fresh basil gremolata, garlic crushed baby potatoes and seasoned by tomato reduction.
Chocolate Mojito Ice Pops
The launch was around lunch time so they let us capp of our lunch with Chocolate Mojito Ice Pops made by a fine mix of coconut, mojito, lemon and of course, chocolate cake on the side.
I swear, I never expected I would love and like vegan food as much as I did with all of these. Promise guys, you gotta try this out 'cause you might find your fine dining fix to be just a routine already.
Babalikan nyo to guys!
