Have you heard of The Farm at San Benito? It’s a destination spa two hours outside of Manila in the Philippines. What a surprise – it is very luxurious in an eco-friendly way. I had heard that it is a five-star vegan detox place. I knew I would be able to handle the five-star part, but vegan and colonics?

Well, so far I have just experienced the former (colon detox is scheduled for this afternoon). Last night I had a five-course vegan dinner that was amazing. Here’s the menu:

Cauliflower samosas with mint chutney

Creamy miso tomato soup

Salad buffet

Indonesian rice tamales with carrot lemongrass sauce

Assorted Indian pastries with mango lasse shot

And then I decided to finish it off with a serving of virgin coconut oil, which is all the rage here for detox. It is supposed to prepare me for the upcoming colon detox.

I will let you know how things develop.
