If you think House Of Vegan is just another one of those "health-conscious" fads you see online, let me stop you right there and tell you: you ain't 'green' nothin' yet!๐ฑ๐
They are not only a legit plant-based alternative to your meals, but we think theirs don't even pretend to be a substitute and has got to be one of the most thoughtfully R&D'd products we've had the opportunity to try!๐๐ฝย
Here is everything we've tried at House Of Vegan, plus a number of reasons we loved their products through Southie Chezca's in-depth review:
๐ฑ๐ท๐ฅ Lechon Kawali (200g) โ โฑ149
It tastes like legit Lechon Kawali! We canโt believe itโs plant-based!๐คฏ The texture was unbelievably close to that of pork, esp the "fat"; although it didn't even need to pretend it *was* pork cause it was just honestly delicious: perfectly fried, tasty and great for those with those watching their fat intake.๐๐๐ฝ With something this good, why didn't they just call it Lechon Ka'WHOA'li?๐
๐ฑ๐ท๐ง
Sisig (250g) โ โฑ149
Itโs a great and delicious alternative for the classic sisig. It had a hint of spice and a bit of a tangy taste from the calamansi. Definitely best paired with rice and a personal favorite of Southie Aish! But don't take our word for it. To 'sisig' is to believe, so go try it yourself, Southie.๐
๐ฑ๐ท Bopis (250g) โ โฑ149
I didn't get to try this, but, Southies Aisha and Donna seemed to appreciate it. It looks like bopis, but they said it actually was a very delish mushroom dish with a moderate kick + sans the "lansa". If you're not a fan of "lamanloob", this is a great dish for you to "safely" explore.๐๐ฝ LOL.
๐ฑ๐ท๐ฅBBQ (4pcs) โ โฑ140
WOW. Just wow.๐ฑ It was absolutely mind-blowing how it tasted so much like the meat version!๐คฏ It had that classic/traditional char taste, and we all loved this! Get ready to ditch your diet, cause this will make you want to eat more rice than you originally planned. LOL. This was Southie Donna's favorite and will forever be her baby...Q.๐๐
๐ฑ๐ Chicken Pops (150g) โ โฑ99
Bitesize nuggets that are perfect as a snack, appetizer or paired with rice. The taste reminded me of the five spice, which makes it legit chicken pops: so flavorful, so crunchy, but bewareโ you'll easily get addicted to this! This is hands down my personal favorite!๐
๐ฑ๐ซ Lumpiang Shanghai (10pcs) โ โฑ149
Fried to perfection, with a filling that's so flavorful, you wonโt realize this is plant-based!๐คฏ If you love lumpiang shanghai, you should definitely try this, cause you wouldn't even need to compare it to the meat version!๐คค
๐ฑ๐ซ Seaweed Shanghai (10pcs) โ โฑ149
This is their rendition of tuna lumpia! Surprisingly addictive! The seaweed gives the seafood taste and it was a nice touch.๐๐ฝ
๐ฑ๐ฅ Tocino (250g) โ โฑ149
It's sweet, it's smoky and we can't believe, again, that there's no meat involved in there!๐ฑ Akin to a beef jerky or dried tapa, this will turn your breakfast into delicious but guilt-free mornings!๐๐
๐ฑ๐ฆย BONUS: Veggoongย โ โฑ99
Southie Aisha: It was perfect with the Golden Queen mangoes from Mindoro sent to us by Coach Kris of Circuit Box PH!๐ฅญ The texture was that of a salty paste so it wasn't really an exact substitute, but was, nonetheless, good!๐๐ฝ
๐ Southie Donna: All-in-all, I love the fact that everything we had at House Of Vegan are strong enough to hold their own as standalone dishes and not just soubstitutes for their meat counterparts, and THAT is a crucial detail in this equation.๐ I didn't have to remember I wasn't eating the "real" thing, because the dishes were already delicious on their own. Props to the team behind this brand that creates true-blue Legit Southie plant-based products!๐๐ฝ
