Wabi-Sabi - Makati

Within the confines of The Collective sits a place which you might consider a hidden gem. They offer a variety of Asian cuisines even if they don't have a big number of food items on the menu which is good because then, you'd have no problem trying to pick what to order. But with that said, everything here is worth trying and very affordable as well so what's not to love? You'd also can't help but to be amazed on how it feels so cozy inside  which is also partnered with the sense of the usual humble stalls you'd pass by around the streets. It's no doubt that you should try it out here, especially if you feel like eating healthier than usual. For more pictures and reviews, please visit us at : bearslookingforfood.blogspot.com

A unique restaurant for a healthier option. They serve 100% vegetarian dishes from Thai inspired ramen to Vietnamese cuisines. Noodles, burgers, sandwiches, and lemon grass tea just to name a few of what they offer. The taste of their dishes will give you a second thought if it's really vegan. Their place in Makati is quite small though that a group of 7-10 people will be consuming more than half of the dining area.

This is my first review because this is also the first time I've eaten food good enough to warrant writing a review. The bhan mi and the dumplings were beyond amazing. We ate one serving of each then doubled down and ate another - this was on top of the ramen and pho we had. Wabi-Sabi is officially my favorite restaurant in Manila! I just wish it was closer to me!!!

We rented a place nearby and wanted to eat dinner within the area. I suggested to check the Collective and we found Wabi-Sabi. The food that they serve are vegetarian meals. It was indeed a good choice! No guilt noodle soup! I ordered tomyum while my dad had viet pho. My mom and brother had tantanmen. We ordered those three because the others were not available. We also added harumaki for sharing. At first, we just ordered one harumaki until we ordered another and then another one! It was very flavorful and chewy. It's like fried tekamaki. The tomyum is sour, not much of a fan for the veggies that tasted odd but I enjoyed it especially the tofu and other cold cuts. The viet pho was like my tomyum except that it wasn't sour and had different toppings. I like the noodles used for tomyum and viet pho which was chewy. A different noodle compared to that of famous Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The tantanmen is sesame oil based so it's for people who like that kind. Although the noodles were just instant the veggies were fresh. The place was just small but I like their staff. They were very accomodating and friendly. I'll definitely be back for their harumaki!
