BEST INDIAN FOOD IN MANILA with Abi Marquez

[@cindyscapes6590]

I am so happy to see the growing interest and curiosity of Filipinos in discovering and loving Indian cuisine. As a Filipino living in India, I have seen and experiencing personally how amazing Indian cooking technique is. All the ingredients they use are natural, no seasoning and processed item at all. The way of cooking is usually slow and involves different techniques. Their food is absolutely healthy and has so many healing properties because of the vegetables, organic spices and probiotics. ❤

[@Rudi_Mentary723]

Namaste Thank you for coming to our country and liking our food. 🙏😊

[@SirFranzJosef]

I like the fact that FEATR sent AbI! who's the most relatable to the masses amongst the crew; inorder to describe a not so relatable pallet to most pinoys. It kind of lessen if not remove the intimmedation factor of trying indian cusine knowing that it is the lumpia queen trying it. Kudos sa FEATR team for the effort in making us pinoys, open up not only to other provinces' food culture/cusine, but also to international cusines.

Abi can be pasosyal, indigent, crazy and talented cook/singer rolled into one!

Agree. Abi is the bestest.❤

Abbiiii! 😊 I'm glad you're still in Featr. Ikaw ang dahilan why I started watching featr episodes... and now I'm starting to love Jujumao and Martin and the new chefs as well. ❤

[@pinaytunay]

my very first indian food experience was in mantra-makati. and i fell in love! so delicious and gave them a 5 star rating. so when i was in davao quite recently i went to look for indian cafeteria, not restaurant. back to subic, i looked again for an indian restaurant. but top notch is still mantra. cant wait to go back.

[@LeetoRamos]

As a Filipino, I feel lucky that here in the middle east, Indian food is just a normal food for me and cheaper as well.

[@Sammyduo214]

such a big fan of Indian food lalo nag middle east ako halos everyday ako kumakaen ng chicken biryani sa lulu. i love din pakorra :) basta anything indian basta subtle ang anghang gow ako

[@d.l.c7456]

It's the availability of ingredients that affects the pricing. Economics!

[@viinay9]

​@d.l.c7456 you are wrong....a fried rice in is cheaper in an Indian restaurant than a pinoy restaurant in spite of using a more expensive rice(basmati)

[@allaboutbtsphoffical_61313]

3:59 true and the butter chicken is my favorite

[@LeetoRamos]

@@d.l.c7456 Not really. Actually most of the ingredients of Filipino and Indian are almost the same. Rice, vegetables and meat. Except for spices as Indians use mostly. But still Filipino restaurants here are very expensive I do not understand why?

[@dvmpgmhl1191]

It is a joy to see Indian cuisine getting recognition here in the Philippines.

[@migspedition]

It is an acquired taste by expats from the Middle East. If shawarma gained household reputation, why not Indian food

[@Yam62-r9s]

hi i'm from china.. wow! i like indian food.. look delicious... 🥰🥰🥰

[@suvamdattabeheraclass-xaro266]

yo i am an indian and i am in love with your chinese culture and i really love your food, but quick question, is there really a food called kung pao chicken is really famous in your country, is it true or just a rumor

[@denivaaa]

Before i watched this episode, i ordered some chicken biryani so I can relate to Abby😅 When I was younger, i felt overwhelmed with indian food, i thought that the spices were too much. Until I tried it recently. The food was cooked by my bf's boss. He is indian and the mutton dish he cooked was so soft, it melted in my mouth like butter. Since then, I have been ordering indian food ❤❤❤

[@WendzskiTV]

my very first experience with Indian cuisine was in Dubai and fell in love with it instantly at first I thought I wouldn't and now it was my 2nd fave food after Filipino food Thank you India for your great food

[@NikZ500]

Wow, I didn’t know there are Indian restaurants in the Philippines as well. So cool!

[@Jana_San_SS]

Lol do you know how many Indian students study here in the Philippines? Of course there are Indian restaurants here.

[@rezzac]

My first Indian cuisine experience was in Prince of Jaipur when it was at the Fort Strip (circa 2003!). I soooo loved and miss that place because everything was so good. Now I'm happy to see there are many options for great Indian food in the metro. ❤ thanks for this ep, FEATR!

[@jsjiwjdjwi1809]

Have always been interested with Indian cuisine. Really love Biryani. I've been wanting to explore more of their food so this serves as a great guide!

[@joannesantos4688]

Thank you for featuring Indian food! Finally! Ang hirap kasi magyaya na kumain sa Indian restaurants because its unfamiliar to most, ang corny naman kumain mag isa 😁

[@justineluizpedrina2503]

Super underrated ang Indian food sa pinas dahil sa mga video from India na "unhygienic" which is true from other countries perspective, but this is one of the best cuisine in the world

[@migspedition]

well to be fair both Indian and Filipino street foods are not exactly photogenic and interesting but they dont represent their home-made counterparts

[@Prince-tv9xf]

@@migspeditionmadami kaseng pintasero sa atin feeling mo nman 5 star yung hygiene ng food sa atin sa lahat ng lugar. Sasabihin natin yuck ambaho ng food nila pero pag uwi natin kinakain natin is dried pusit na pinrito 😂 DUGO ng baboy. haaaay mga tao nga naman hehe

It's a country of 1.4 billion people .yes there are unhygienic places but that's not the only shops ,if you go to India you can find abundance of hygieneic shops as well.

[@TipidRecipes]

What I love with the Indian foods is the spices they used. Flavorful ang mga foods nila especially the samosa.

[@jovenevaristo7961]

I love to see this because I’m a fan of Indian and Pakistani food. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 15 years, which influenced me to love their food and culture as well.

[@kaunBanegaKatorapati2434]

Don't associate Pakistan's name with India again🙏

[@msluthorXCI]

Fun fact: Abi is my fave here in Featr! Second yung focus ang various local places and their hometown delicacies pero hindi yung english narrated.

Kainis naman si Abi now I want some Indian food hahahha Always great to see the Lumpia Queen in a Featr video. I just love her energy

[@proudlakerfan]

Considering how long people from India have lived in the Philippines and Indians being part of Filipino society for generations, Filipinos have been slow in appreciating Indian food. Indians were in the Philippines first before Koreans but Filipinos took to Korean food faster and easier.

[@scottsummers4234]

Mas acceptable kasi sa panlasa natin ang korean cuisine

[@lsj6721]

@@scottsummers4234mas madaling gayahin yung Korean food kaysa sa Indian

Abi!!!!! Thank you for these recommendations. Really curious to try egg dosa with wine as it's usually paired with chai. You covered indian breakfast, snack food and main dishes. Not a big fan of paneer and mutton though. 😅

Food is really looking professionally made, dosa is well roasted, gol gappe is perfectly made , samosa dough can be improved by using minimum water so blisters will not come up . I love North Indian food because of the variety and innovation.

[@santhoshv3028]

Variety and Innovation? Dude. North Indian mostly don't know much about south Indian food. You guys only know idli, dosa and vadai. We don't eat those everyday.

[@shivendrasharma9205]

@@santhoshv3028 you may be right Bro however curry leaves, rai , tur daal and rice dominate alot in South Indian food. For a change when I spend 10 days near chika Mangalore and Mahabalipuram. I enjoyed very good South Indian food. Tea and Coffee was the best I've ever had .

[@zaizai.88]

Indian food is one of my favorite foods. Especially the North Indian dishes. Masala dosa should be crunchy or else you won't enjoy it. I had vegetarian dishes when i was in India and super love them!

[@santhoshv3028]

In India south Indian food is most loved one😅. Dosa is good but we have more than dosa. There are many dish which outside world don't know about our south Indian dish. And south has most non vegetarian dish too.

@@santhoshv3028 it's always depends on preferences. I love north indian food more.Although I love rasam and other south indian dishes. Depends as well on the preparation. I love the ones in Krishna's temples.
