First Time Trying These FILIPINO Foods! We Were Surprised!

Would you eat a pigs trotter!? It was different for us but we ended up enjoying it! Make sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to keep up to date on our adventures in the Philippines! 🤩🇵🇭🙏🏼 Instagram - www.Instagram.com/chaseandshelbs Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@timewarnerchannel]

You can try Kare-kare :)

[@aebu.g]

I recommend trying pancit palabok. Pancit palabok is made from rice noodle with some pork, egg, and shrimps, and chicharon (dont worry the seafood taste is not strong, i would say i barely taste the seafood taste in it). U can find it either have thin or thick noodles it depends on the restaurant, some sell both versions.

[@edisonescapes8478]

This is technically a Filipino cuisine mukbang.

I hope the next time you guys visit the Philippines is before December because ..I might be over throwing it but philippines is a Disneyland of Christmas.

[@feddiefranco4982]

No for me

[@frisc0pn0ib0i]

As an American I think the ones that would be a must for you guys to try are: • SINIGANG (PORK) • KARE KARE (with Tripe and Oxtail) and shrimp paste on the side. • DINIGUAN (don’t ask what’s in it) • Filipino BBQ • Pancit Malabon • Beef Mechado - the pork lechon should’ve been served with the liver sauce. Desserts • sweet yellow mangoes (sweetest in the world) • Halo Halo • Peach Mango pie from Jollibee • Sapin Sapin • Biko • Bibingka • Palitaw / Pichi Pichi • Leche Flan • Yema or Yema cake

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you so much for this fantastic list!! We have tried sinigang, Kare Kare, bbq, yellow mangoes, and leche! Can’t wait to give those other ones a try 😍🙏🏼

Hi guys, good to hear you enjoyed our foods. You know why most of our foods have strong flavors like being salty or oily because they are supposed to be eaten with rice. The rice will give the balance of all the flavors. Every bite should come with a rice. That’s the Filipino way of eating it.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We are slowly realizing this! Rice if life as they say haha? We need to eat more rice with our dishes 🤗

[@angelacaresosa673]

Pinakbet is an acquired taste. I didn't even like it when I was a kid. I love it now because it reminds me of home. Shout out from Seattle. Love your videos.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Is very interesting 😂 haha glad we aren’t alone! So happy you enjoy our vids. Thanks for watching all the way from Seattle 🥰

[@HappyKat9]

Yeah it's an acquired taste. It took me 20 yrs to like it. I love it now, haha!

[@jjp844]

the PINAKBET that you tried must have used anchovies (bagoong balayan) for its flavor. sometimes some regions use shrimp paste. others use broth cubes and cook it w sliced pork belly. how they cook it really depends on where you are. a tip when you make your dipping sauce: try soy sauce + kalamansi + oyster sauce + chili. you can use that for your fried dishes, steamed fish and grilled dishes.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

I think we would prefer it without the shrimp paste lol! It sounds like it would be delicious with pork belly :) and thank you, next time we will try that! Yum! 🤗

Dang! You guys making me hungry 🤤. Enjoy the PH!!!! 🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@renegadeprince6058]

Most Filipino dishes are meant to be eaten with rice, especially ones with sauces (ie. stews, soups). They are packed with flavor and rice is the equalizer. Mixing the stews (ie. like the vegetable stew, pinakbet) with rice helps alleviate the intense flavor of the dish.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! We didn’t realize everything should be eaten with rice! We will do this from here on out 🤗

[@SelwynClydeAlojipan]

The rice is used to reduce the very intense flavors of some dishes. Eating the dishes by themselves is not always a good idea. Their flavors are designed to be mixed with the bland rice.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Ahhh okay that totally makes sense :)

[@E_Paul74]

Pinakbet should be eaten with rice to reduce the saltiness and that very strong flavor of shrimp paste that you are talking. Another thing, you can tell the waiter/tress not to put shrimp paste on your pinakbet because you don't like it.

[@jspicecue1463]

Pinakbet is sautee with salty shrimp paste and anchovy sauce or patis which has an acquired smell. Its a regional dish.

[@i-am-your-conscience]

5:02 ..thats what the rice is for. It has a reason a lot of those dishes have a strong flavour and a reason for generous amounts of rice :) Strong flavours mixes well with lots of rice, so lots of rice = filling and more savvy. Thats how I understand it.

[@chubs2582]

Actually in the Philippines some food have different variation on each Region which make it unique everytime you go on different places. Like for Adobo, some region have coconut milk on it, some doesnt have soysauce, and also some have turmeric on it that make it yellowish. One more thing, for some places, they have their own dish, maybe fruit, or snacks that they are known for. Like for example Cebu, they are known for the Best Lechon. Pampanga where Sisig is originated and said to be the best sisig in philippines. Quezon province, where you can find their own noodle dish called Habhab. Davao, where you can find a lot of Durians, maybe you can find different durian deserts/dishes there too, Baguio City where strawberries grows because of cold weather and having different food which they use strawberries, and also their special Ube Jam, Laguna where you can buy the amazing Buko Pie (Coconut Pie). And too much to mention.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

That is so cool how diverse it is in the Philippines and the food is different everywhere you go! In Canada it’s not like that much lol.

That dipping sauce is typical Cebuano indeed. It is the dipping sauce most common in Cebu that is made from coconut vinegar, soy sauce (alternatively salt), hot chilis, chopped white or red onions (alternatively green or spring onions). This dipping sauce is usually for meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) and fish dishes which are grilled, fried, and roasted.

I just came across with one of your vlogs recently and I'm starting to love it. The food looks good and yummy though. I agree with Chase that he would try other version of pinakbet maybe it's prepared differently. He's right because some cooks the pinakbet differently without the shrimp paste a.k.a. bagoong. Next time visit the Quezon City area the Timog and Tomas Morato Avenues within the same vicinity where you'll find many good local and international cuisines or restaurants.

I'm a Filipino and I love shrimp paste, but never in a lifetime would I ever have suggested to eat pinakbet. I don't even like that myself. When it comes to delicious Filipino foods, that is certainly not what comes to mind. But these ones below do. 1. 'Kare kare' (ox tail). A stew cooked in peanut sauce eaten with boiled rice. 2. 'Sinigang' (pork or fish). Sour tamarind stew eaten with boiled rice. 3. 'Sisig' (pork face). Usually eaten with garlic rice or just beer. 4. 'Chicken Inasal' (chicken). Grilled chicken eaten with garlic rice and chicken oil. 5. 'Bulalo' (beef). Soup cooked with beef bone marrow eaten with boiled rice. Of course there's a lot more, but I don't wanna overload you guys with suggestions.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Haha I know.. we got a few recommendation and we googled it and thought it looked yummy but NOPE 😂 and It’s all good! We love the suggestions! We have actually tried Kare Kare, sinigang, sisig and chicken inasal! As so delicious. Bulalo is next on our list 🥰

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Awesome video, guys! Everything did look good. 👍

[@marlonquintos830]

Depending on what region/province you go to, each has its own version of pinakbet, adobo, sinigang, etc. In Ilocos (northern Luzon), we use fermented fish (which has a milder flavor) instead of fermented shrimp in pinakbet. Some versions of pinakbet use oyster sauce. If you go to Bicol (southern Luzon), they usually add coconut milk and chillies (pinakbet + Bicol express). Keep exploring and enjoy!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Ohh that’s super cool to know! The pinakbet from southern Luzon sounds like it would be more our style!! 😂

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

@@ChaseandShelbs But if it's from Bicol area, brace yourself because they are fond of SPICY foods so batting average, the pinakbet would surely be Spicy. There's a common joke that if there's an incoming typhoon, they FIRST put support to protect their chili plants than their houses. Their version of LAING (Taro leaves with coconut milk) is sure to be spicy. The Bicol region is fond of spicy and with coconut milk type of dishes.

With Filipino Food , Filipino always eat everything with rice. Some dishes have strong flavours like saltiness, sourness, spiciness and even bitterness. Rice in away acts like a neutralizer. You can have something very salty or umami by itself and then when you eat with rice, it becomes less salty or umami; it taste just right. You should try out the Filipino Breakfast like Tapsilog (Beef Tapa, Garlic Rice and eggs), Champorrado (Chocolate Rice Porridge) and Taho(Warm Soy Bean Pudding with Brown Sugar syrup and Tapioca). These are also great comfort food.👍👍😎

Don't worry guys you're not the only ones that's not a fan of Pinakbet,i also find the shrimp paste flavor a bit overpowering sometimes. Take care guys. See you on the next one. ❤️🙏

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We were totally thrown off and didn’t expect it to taste like that at all!! It looks so pretty haha 👏🏼😂

[@ralphsango6687]

The flavor of the ampalaya veggie which is mixed in the pinakbet was bitter. A pinakbet without it is what I prefer lol

[@feverishchic]

😊😊😊

@@ChaseandShelbs Actually, in the northern part of Luzon where pinakbet originated, they use "sauce" from salted fish. I wonder how you would react to that haha..

[@JAYMATIK]

@harrypatter6998 Just like most of the Filipino food, Pinakbet is made in different ways. Pinakbet is my favorite. The one my mom makes does not use shrimp paste, but with fermented fish. Big difference in taste!

Crispy pata (pigs trotter) for me a beer food. Lumpiang shanghai is the ultimate Filipino finger food.

[@arturomiralomibaojr]

Finally, a food that you dislike! Pinakbet is my favorite food but not that pinakbet. That is pinakbet tagalog. I was surprised you ordered that. It is an Ilocano dish but then it was adopted by other regions so there are a lot variations of pinakbet now. That is not something I recommend to tourists because of the bagoong (shrimp paste). It takes getting used to it to like it. Can't wait for your next adventure there in Cebu.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We also didn’t like our last dish in our Filipino China town video! The sate noodles 🤣 we didn’t know it had shrimp paste, I think it would be good without it. We might have to try again haha! More cebu adventures to come soon! ❤️

[@la.castro]

Loving you guys! Cant wait for our trip to the Philippines!! Following ur Coron trip too!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you!! xx can’t wait to go back 😍

[@bhello99]

ask the resto staff/vendor how to eat or do the sauce.. in any food you dont know how to eat so would maximize the taste 😊

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Yes we should try :) it’s half the fun experimenting hehe but afterwards we should ask so we can also try it that way too! We appreciate the tips 🥰

[@richmondroadtv6527]

I'm was left drooling after watching your vlog. I need those food guys.Yummy vlog!

[@1701jolan]

Hahaha as a Filipino watching foreigners eat the dishes without rice - kills me!!!!!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We ate things with rice!! 🫣🤪 tbh though I don’t know if it’s our culture but we actually enjoy a lot of the Filipino foods without rice haha! We switch in between having bites with rice vs without, most meat dishes we prefer without rice!

[@feverishchic]

😂😂😂😂😅

[@nerfsuropia4244]

That vegtables was called pinakbet very delicius mixture of vegetables natural flavor .

[@franzlorenznicolz6754]

most of Filipino dishes are flavorful or have strong flavor because we usually ate them with rice and it will complement to that strong taste of the dishes...

[@delfinnato8341]

Hi there I am happy that you are having fun in the Philippines..and enjoying our foods..hope to meet you someday..love you guys

[@ChaseandShelbs]

That would be so amazing! much love 🥰❤️❤️

[@dearblued7166]

The red sauce is not a sweet and sour sauce. That is called “BANANA KETCHUP”

[@miguelpalileo3890]

I feel hungry😋my favorite pinakbet, enjoy ur food👍👍

[@FilCanGil]

You know why the lumpia was salty…….because you ate at Salt😂😂😂 All kidding aside, eat everything with rice and it will help tone down the intense seasoning.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Hahaha nice pun, we like what you did there! 😂 and it’s pretty foreign to us to eat a spring roll type food item with rice but that totally makes sense to eat it with rice so it’s not so salty!!

[@iggymiranda1797]

Subscribed to your channel and binged watched most of your videos last night. I love that your videos almost have zero fillers. Keep it up guys!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Aw thank we try to be as real and authentic as possible 🥰 glad you see that!! Much appreciated friend.

[@StrawberryMilkkTeaa]

I love the honesty, I appreciate that. I dislike fake flattery that some people give in order to win the favor of others even when it clearly show on their faces that what they're saying isn't actually what they really think. That honestly irritates me. So it's okay that you didn't love everything, at least you were polite about it.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We totally agree! And thank you! 🙏🏼 That would suck if someone went to eat somewhere we recommended and they didn’t like the dish. We always make sure to be honest with our reviews regardless of if we like it or not! 👏🏼 not everything has to be a win it’s just about experiencing the food and going with the flow 🤗

[@allanarteta4018]

Pinakbet once you eat must together with the rice it's gonna be perfect taste
