Pipino @ Malingap St

We dined here with the lil bro when we were in QC :)

The resto is small and intimate with just around 6 tables and located just above Pino restaurant (2nd floor) along Malingap St.

Interior is very simple but catchy, DIY and rustic always captivates me

Hanging plants in burlap 😍

M started off with a coffee and fries

I'm not in the mood to eat rice so I ordered something new, something hard for me to replicate at home, so I chose Kalabasa Arrabiata

It was kinda spicy for my taste, the kalabasa noodles was half cooked maybe so it was a bit crunchy

Garlic noodles for M, a bit dry and bland, but at least you have option to add more as you like

When I saw my brother's order, I regret not ordering a rice :/

Sizzling Laing

Their desserts/take out corner

Vegan cookies, cakes and cupcakes, chips

The three of us were already full there was no room for desserts.

We bought assorted cupcakes for take out, cookies and a slice of their chocolate cake that I forgot to take a photo.

Some items on the menu are familiar Pinoy food that are "easy to convert to vegan"

They also indicated if it is GlutenFree ;)

I would like to come back here for more food inspiration.

PS: As I started my vegan journey, many ask if it is difficult.

I actually find it easy maybe because I always remember why I started.

But I also need a lot of inspiration so I followed a lot of vegan accounts on Instagram and it helps a lot. The good thing is, there are also now a lot of stores that offer vegan alternatives, from cakes to pizzas.

I feel thankful to business owners who keep innovating and making their products accessible to vegans. 👍

2011 New Year's Resolution

I don't remember my last new year resolution... highschool?? haha. Well this is a tough decision. I have to think over and over whether I should publish it here... but since I really want to achieve it I have to let everyone know so to have me accountable with my words.

1. Vegetarian

Finally! I'm decided!

I have been a pescetarian (eating meat occasionally) last year. As for me, being a vegetarian doesn't mean that I will starve myself if there is no vegetarian friendly food on the table or throwing food because it is not vegan. If it's beyond my control then I can do nothing about it. I have to really made smart choices then. Planning what to eat is essential. I should bring food with me always haha!

I think it is not very difficult at all because there are stores where I can buy some Tofu or Veggie meat. (Dr. Tam's Vegan Haus)

Our 13 fruits this new year!

2. Going Green

Last year, I started seggregating, doing 3R's and using paper or resusable bags.

And now, I will say NO to styro too! I rather bring my own food container. Haha! I think it is OK to ask fastfood for that. Goodluck to me.

Jollibee Olivarez LB, used reusable plastic containers instead of styro

3. Biological clock

For some reason, I always wake up after 5 hours of sleep every night. From now on will sleep and wake up at the same time everyday accdg to my biological clock.. Say goodbye to dark under eye circle.

4. Attitude

Will be more understanding, positive and will control my temper Hehe! Be a better person this year. I will not be masungit!

5. Plan, Plan, Plan
If I fail to plan, I plan to fail.

Welcome 2011! good luck to my resolution! \m/
