Vegan Sisig

#vegan #veganisnotscary #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #sisig #vegansisig #foodmadefromfood I noticed several reviews on abillion have already been done for this restaurant, Nonie’s Restaurant, so I wanted to go there. Coincidentally, it just happens to be across the street from where I’m staying. With a sign outside that advertises it offers vegan food, I will automatically give it a try. And I’m glad I did. My lunch’s main entrée was Vegan Sisig. Sisig is a Filipino dish made from pork jowl and ears (maskara), pork belly, and chicken liver, which is usually seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers. Frankly, this sounds very gross to me. Thankfully, someone at Nonie’s Restaurant has created a much more palatable vegan version. And it’s incredibly delicious too! This dish is food made from food. It was a mix of red onions, green onions, zucchini, some kind of crumble (which might have included tofu), and a variety of spices. I should have asked what’s in it, but didn’t. A little lemoncito was on the side which when squeezed, it gave a very citrusy kick to this dish. Bread wafers / sticks also accompanied this dish. What a nice touch. I highly recommend it. Very delicious! The vegan dishes at this restaurant make veganism / vegan food very approachable. The Vegan Sisig was 350 pesos, or almost $9.00 Canadian. Boracay is more expensive than other Philippine islands and the price of this smoothie is consistent with that trend. This restaurant is not 100% vegan, but vegans have plenty of options.

Nice twist on this classic vegan dish. Highly recommended indeed.

I am a Kapampangan where Sisig was originated from and their take on this dish is on point! Great presentation too. Did I forget to tell they have the friendliest staff? They also have a wide range of vegan dishes. In short, this is a vegan haven.

The dish is made of Tofu, mushroom, onions, and spices. For me it was too dry for a Sisig dish I’ve tried others that was tastier.
