Enchanted

The Human Nature flagship store (see yesterday's post) has a cafe on the second floor called the Enchanted Farm Cafe, named after the Gawad Kalinga community farm in Angat, Bulacan.

Angat is only about 40km from Quezon City, where the cafe is located. The ingredients which are used in the dishes, many of which are vegetarian, are very fresh and crispy.

Part of the cafe's mission is "to create a sustainable lifestyle for the poor by creating a market for their products," and the other ingredients that they use—like the salted duck eggs in the salad—are produced by social enterprises.

As is the kesong puti (literally, white cheese) in the pandesal (bread of salt) sandwich. I should go lacto-ovo vegetarian more often. We came out of Enchanted Farm Cafe feeling full but not heavy.
