Vegetarian’s paradise
Quan Yin Chay is a rare find in meat-obsessed Manila. True to Taoist tradition, the restaurant uses no garlic or onion. The a la carte menu features many mock meat dishes such as shabu-shabu noodles, Pai Ye (flavoured tofu), and fresh lumpia. This vegetarian restaurant uses veggie meat for almost all dishes so it’s a treat for anyone from vegans to meat lovers. Healthy and affordable cafeteria-style food like Sisig, Filipino-style deep-fried chopped pork, and Bicol Express, pork with coconut milk and chillies, is what people come here for.
