Most of the plant based-stuff I’ve consumed are common veggies, vegemeat, tofu and of course those you put in bongs to smoke.
Both types of veggies are great. It is good to do more of both, and of different types to stay healthy and balance your diet.
Also: Don’t eat vegan / vegetarian food as a substitute for the real thing. Eat it as is: healthier foods to expand your palate. Your stomach and your body will also thank you for the lighter load, good fiber, and nutrients you only get from plant based food. And they are great when done properly like these 100% plant based food stores on this month’s top 5 list.

Veggie Tayo
I’ve seen this joint for so long (it’s in my neighborhood), but there are so many other restos and food joints here (full of meat murder haha) that grab your attention that you kind of forget. They have meals, snacks, grains, breads, and take homes.
My wife introduced me to it, and got me some spinach ramen and vegan wheat bread with vegan peanut butter and chocolate. I also got a 2 viand brown rice meal with vegan curry and vegan kare kare. Good stuff at good prices (Project 6 prices ha) they also do deliveries (within the nearby areas). If you eat there, they will also pray over you before you go (??)

Vegood
Founded in 2013, Vegood has become popular in the local hardcore punk and metal vegan people. They’ve appeared at underground shows too, most recently at Eyehategod’s Manila show, where the band, crowd, and organisers enjoyed some quality Filipino vegan food.

Vegood is the healthy alternative to the usual food at concerts and bar shows. Go party, but be healthy. They have quality home made desserts, rice meals, different veggie meats, and many types of veggie take home items too. Good stuff. Support DIY vegan punk rock.

Bodhi Vegetarian Restaurant
The oldsters of QC, with good quality vegetarian and vegan dishes. check out: vegan BBQ, vegan asado meat, and the curry. They have branches at major SM Malls but the long running branch at SM North Edsa have renamed themselves as Harvesters Vegetarian??

Main branch at Banawe Avenue should be the best one to check out:
878 Banawe Street Corner Del Monte Avenue Quezon City, Philippines

Reasons
Reasons is HIGHly recommended by the local underground punk and metal scenes. They are based in Lucena; Reasons cafe has some pretty killer vegan versions of your favorite foods (vegan liempo, sisig, isaw, cakes, etc.), plus a lot of great stuff on their menu: Eat healthy but good. Toke first before going in.
