Vegan Dishes at Red Kimono - a sign of things to come for 2012

It used to be quite a challenge every time my vegan friend, Jem, would visit us from the U.S. But since I am almost a vegetarian now (since I mostly just eat vegetables, fruits and other non-dairy products on a daily basis), we were more than prepared for her diet. (^_^) 

So I first thought of grilling tofu and spinach for her. But I was also craving to dress up and have dinner out. I figured, we can go back to Red Kimono in Westgate, Alabang, one of the few restaurants in our area that offer vegan dishes. 

As a vegan, Jem doesn't eat anything that come from animals, insects... practically anything that comes from a living thing with a face (as Peter puts it, LOL), including honey (I was shocked!) since it comes from bees. According to http://vegetarian.about.com,

9th Anniversary Dinner at Alba

Peter and I just had our 9th Wedding Anniversary recently and we celebrated it the day after, when Peter was feeling a little bit better. He was sick for one week and couldn't even get up to eat. I had to prepare all his meals all the time, made sure he was taking his medicines, and checked his temperature regularly. I was happy to serve him but I guess it was also slowly taking its toll on me.
