Tikim 54: Choose Healthy at Agico Vegetarian Cafe (Araullo Street, San Juan)

Not a big fan of vegetables? Are you the type of person who removes your peas in your fried rice and pizza? Do you associate greens with a negative taste? Fear those things NOT! Not all heathy things tastes as bad as you think they are! Head for Agico and discover why!
Agico Vegetarian Cafe
You see, my meals consists of about 60% meat/seafood and 40% vegetables. I like the taste of chicken, steak, and shrimp and when I saw a friend's photo of a veggy sushi from Agico, I got surprised that it isn't green and really looks like your normal sushi! At that point, I told myself that I want to try out this newly opened vegetarian cafe.
Cute wall murals will lighten up the mood if you are anxious about eating vegetables! 
Because of this curiosity, me and my friends decided to give Agico a visit during it's soft opening. We met Andrew Co, one of the owners of Agico, and I got to ask questions about this veggy cuisine and his recommendations for a frist time all-veggy meal! Ü

Choose from their vast menu of a Japanese themed Veggy Cafe. They have sushi, yakitori's, ricebowls, ramen, and guilt-meat-free BURGERS! If you are a practicing vegetarian, this is your chance to eat on some "burgers".  Andrew's mom is the head chef and she invited these recipes!
Food menu
A cafe isn't complete with unique drink concoctions
For starters, the group ordered some sushi! We ordered a lot since this really intrigued everyone!
Kani Kama (2pcs) P126.00
Ebi sushi (2pcs) P98.00
This Aburi Salmon sushi is one of the cafe's specialty sushi. It's torched on your table and best eaten when hot!
Aburi salmon sushi (2pcs) P126.00
Butayaki Maki (6 pcs) P248.00
Mix mushroom sushi (3pcs) P156.00
For the group's main meal, these are what we ordered. You'll see later that we ordered from different sections of Agico's menu to showcase a piece from each section.
Hanna went for a plateful of Yakiudon. Even the yakiudon has "fake meat" in it so you wont miss meat  much! You can add some Japanese chili flakes/chili oil to add up some heat if you like it spicy!

Yakiudon P248.00
Lance went for the barbeque sticks!
Pork BBQ (3 sticks) P128.00
These is my favorite! A must try!!!
Enoki bacon (3 sticks) P188.00
Evan went for the ramen. It's spicy hot and I love it! The kaarage reminds of chicken nuggets. They might need to have spice-levels cause some might want their ramen mild, spicy, or hot!
Spicy karaage ramen P258.00
I ordered beef yakiniku since this is my usual order in Japanese restaurants. I got curious how it will look like and how it will taste like.
Beef yakiniku Rice bowl P268.00
A cafe isn't complete without a bar of hot and cold drinks. The boys ordered some flavored latte's!
Raspbery & Hazelnut Flavored Latte P120.00 each

Do check this cafe out for an experience! Add some vegetables in your diet and discover the world of meat-looking veggies!
