Vegan Creamy Baked “Fish” using Omni Classic Fillet

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 02:18:30 +0000

When it comes to westernized foods, Filipinos here in the Philippines love them with lots of creams. For example, we love creamy carbonara, lasagna, spaghetti, and baked salmon. So, when Prime Pacific, the leading distributor of Omni fillets in the country, asked me to develop a recipe for them, I knew it had to be with...

Vegan Pancit Sotanghon

RG @ Astig Vegan — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 10:55:34 +0000

Sotangwho? Pancit Sotanghon is a type of pancit that uses vermicelli noodles (instead of the popular bihon or thin cornstarch noodles.) Bihon usually breaks easily while vermicelli still holds, yet it’s not as tough as the luglug or thick cornstarch noodles or the canton or chow mein noodles. Pancit Sotanghon is similar to the Korean...

Thank you to Sekaya Philippines for sponsoring this post! Tortang talong or eggplant omelet is a Filipino dish usually served as a home-cooked fare with rice and banana ketchup.

RG @ Astig Vegan — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:23:23 +0000

I recently got engaged in the most romantic way (on a theater stage after the play I was in). I never really thought of my dream wedding before, but when Chris proposed, I became obsessed with all the possibilities of a beautiful wedding – the dress, the venue, and of course the food. I also dreamt...

Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 26 Mar 2016 23:03:41 +0000

Spring is officially here in the US. The temperature is rising and the sun starts to linger at night (until 7pm!). I find myself craving for something refreshing in this warmer weather. I still have some leftover kalamansi from making a marmalade so I thought of making Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice. I love the crunch...

Call me lucky, but I have friends who are always the first to learn about upcoming vegan events in town and out.

Favorite of the week: Abba Hair Conditioner

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:40:01 +0000

Last week, my best friend and I went to the beauty store, Ulta, just to check it out. Of course, “just to check it out” doesn’t end with anyone empty handed. I walked out of the store with this hair conditioner: Ulta was having a big sale that day. I got 50% off Abba...
