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!

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!
|

|
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!
