Cuisine:Filipino
This was another cuisine that I was not expecting to be able to tick off – I went to the Philippines when I was vegetarian and didn’t find any traditional dishes to try. But Cook Daily in London serves a vegan adobo dish which you can order with either mock chicken or tofu puffs. Full disclosure: Dr HH ordered this, then had to switch with me because I accidentally ordered a spicy dish and could not handle it. Anyway, he chose the tofu puffs, and added the spring rolls and special sauce as well.
I have actually attempted to make adobo once before, but chickened out of using the full amount of vinegar recommended because it sounded insane. It turns out I should have had faith in the recipe, because vinegary adobo is officially delicious!
This adobo was served over brown rice, and was extremely flavoursome. It was lovely and sharp from the vinegar, the vegetables were fresh, the puffs were spongy, and everything was flavoursome without burning my taste buds like the dish I’d foolishly ordered. It was an extremely well-crafted, well-seasoned dish, and I was pleased to confirm that Cook Daily is every bit as good as I’d heard.
What other veganisable Filipino dishes are out there? Have you found a vegan Filipino restaurant?

I had this dish the last time I went to CookDaily and loved it!
Wasn’t it good? I would never have ordered it myself, so I’m very glad I accidentally stumbled onto it!
I haven’t heard of this dish before! But then again, I don’t know much Filipino food. I do remember learning how to cook these yummy noodles with my Mom’s friend. I forget the name of the dish, but it is pretty much the only thing I know about the cuisine. Oh and this one popular taro roll cake, mostly just because of the show Steven Universe. I really want to veganize it one day.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever encountered any Filipino restaurants, the cuisine doesn’t seem to have captured the imagination like other Asian cuisines have. One of my friends from the Philippines once made me a delicious noodle dish with almost a whole bulb of garlic in it – as a garlic lover, I was dazzled by it!
