Simple, home-cooked, and yes plant-based meals can come cheap. In Makati, there are little stalls dubbed Jollijeep that sell cheap food. Some have completey vegan options such as the one on the picture. The ginataang sitaw at kalabasa (string beans with squash in coconut milk) with rice cost only P22.
Other vegan options regularly available at these stalls are puso ng saging (banana heart), laing (taro leaves in coconut milk), adobong kangkong (water spinach in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic), tokwa (tofu) with soy sauce and chili, and talong (fried eggplant). Make sure that the ones you get are not cooked with bagoong (shrimp paste), patis (fish sauce), and other animal products. The stalls also sell merienda (snacks) mid-afternoon. The vegan options are banana-cue (plantain banana fritters), turon (fried plantain bananas in rice paper and brown sugar), and rice-based desserts like puto, kutsinta, biko, pichi-pichi etc.
