    There are lots of fast food restaurants that have vegetarian dishes like Vegetarian burgers ( Burger King, Shakey's Pizza, Army Navy ) and local dishes like pinakbet, chopsuey, lumpiang ubod or lumpiang pritong gulay etc.

    Welcome! 🙏 Aww it’s a shame you didn’t make it to the most “central” part of the metro area (called BGC). it literally looks like Singapore, Tokyo and Miami in one. All the shops, bars, restaurants and main events take place there, along with the rest of the travelers and expat community. If you’re ever back here, I’d deffo recommend staying around heading there. I’m afraid department of tourism here is pretty useless at sharing the best bits of this country- everything you find online is usually discovered by travelers or shared by locals on social media so everything’s still a bit “word of mouth” here, compared with other SE Asian countries :) Enjoy the rest of your time here and throughout the region! ✨❤

      Oh really?! 😂 it definitely didn’t feel very ghetto, it backed onto a Robinsons mall, there was the red light district down the road, but not close enough we walked near it, I thought it was quite nice ✌🏼, what would have been different about makati and BGC?

      @@nicroams You were in old downtown Manila. It was destroyed during WW2 and never fully restored. The new "downtown" moved to Makati in the 1970s and then BGC also opened in the early 2000s. They're more walkable and clean compared to old Manila. Some of Makati is a redlight district (called Poblacion), but the Makati CBD is nice.
