Here is my first sketch of our holiday – as always done at the airport. Our flight was almost at midnight so we planned to have something to eat there (in the Philippines they recommend that you are the airport 4 hours before the flight!). Even though Kenny Roger’s Roasters has a plant based menu in the Philippines the franchisees at Terminal 3 chose not to include any of those in the international part of the terminal…more grumbling from me!

Here is a quick little sketch I did when we visited SM Aura shopping mall to buy #Pasalubong to take to the UK on our upcoming holiday. Buying pasalubong is the Filipino tradition of travellers bringing gifts from their destination to people back home (so we are kind of doing that in reverse). We had a snack and coffee at the #CoffeeBeanAndTeaLeaf having failed to find a single speck of vegetarian food at the food court, even though they have recently refurbished it (grumble, grumble).

This sketch was done while we waited for dinner at a new vegetarian restaurant (for us) that we went out to for my wife’s birthday. The waiter told us that they opened during the pandemic…they have another branch in Makati, Barangay Poblacion. The food was great, served quickly and the place has a nice atmosphere. It was strange though that there didn’t seem to be a single sign on the road to tell you the place was there – we had to ask someone in order to find it.
