Good Taste, Healthy Food, All At Live Life Vegetarian Restaurant

If you are looking for a place to have a good meal, alone or with your love one, then look no further for somewhere in Makati City is a dining place that offers healthy and tasty dishes; healthy because vegetables are the main star in all its dishes. 

Live Life Vegetarian Food Restaurant is located just a block away from Don Bosco Makati and just across a BPI branch along Chino Roces Avenue and before CW Home Depot if you are coming from the direction of the fore mentioned school.  This restaurant has been there for three years and is doing good within its niche in the food industry.

Despite the years of service, I find it strange that they still have some slight misses in some of their offered dishes in terms of sauce level; such was my observation when they served Chili con Tofu during the time that I was there.  It was watery compared to the usual chili con dish that I am familiar with.  Same can be said with their Lumpiang Sariwa.  This is a classic vegetarian dish but somehow there was a flavor missing.  I just cannot put a pin on the missing flavor but there is.

Vegetable Paella

Misses they may have but they also have great hits in some of their dishes, such as:  Vegetarian Paella, Vegetable Samosa, Eggplant with Misu, Vegetarian Curry and their offered dessert then – Turon.  Of all the dishes I have mentioned, what I enjoyed best were the Eggplant with Misu and Turon. 

Eggplant with Misu

The Eggplant with Misu was a delight in both texture and flavor.  This Japanese inspired dish is a delight due to the way they have prepped the vegetable and infused the misu into it.  There was a light sweetness and saltiness that balances off one and the texture was quite notable because there was smoothness with it countered by the normal skin texture of a cooked eggplant.

The Turon was a winner!  You see the banana slice but what you get to taste is the jackfruit in it.  This is a turon that has a strong jackfruit flavor hiding the ripe banana.  It is a novelty for me because when you get a commercial turon, what you see and taste is the banana and the jackfruit is a hit and miss at times.  For them, the jackfruit took precedence.

What is commendable with the place is the way they were able to recreate dishes that are meat and cream based (with cheese) without losing the usual flavor that one is familiar with.  Who would have thought that a certain nut can recreate the milky goodness of cheese when pureed properly.

Enjoy a buffet lunch or dinner every weekend at Live Life Vegetarian Food Restaurant for only Php 350 + per head.  Not only will you have good tasty dishes to choose from but also have a healthy dining experience that you can share with the one you love.
