Not Necessarily Vegetarian
by Bel Alvarez, Food Stylist
One of the usual concerns of vegetarian travelers is will there be enough places to eat when they get to their destination. A lot of times vegetarian travelers end up eating the vegetable sidings because of the lack of vegetarian restaurants at the places they go to. Or they would live on salads until they got home.
But vegetarians need not look for strictly vegetarian restaurants. A better option is to find non-vegetarian restaurants that serve vegetarian dishes. If you travel with a non-vegetarian companion like I do, then you can eat together. I found two such places in Boracay.
Hama, which opened on December 15, 2007, is the only restaurant in the island that serves authentic Japanese cuisine. Located at the heart of D’Mall, Hama’s menu consists of appetizers, main dishes and a complete set of sashimi. From this list you can find a number of vegetarian dishes. Fresh vegetables and the mushrooms that they import from Japan are in abundance in these vegetarian dishes.
