My husband and I love watching you both! We just subscribed 😊 I’m not from dumaguete so I wouldn’t know what to suggest! 😆 whatever you’ll film, I’m sure we’ll enjoy it! Have a great day!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Aww Maria thank you. 😊 where are you and your husband from?

[@moondustgirl2132]

Glad you were able to find our national dish Adobo. And glad you liked it. As someone here pointed out, different regions here cook it differently. Like i think in Bicol they add some coconut milk to it. But basic Adobo is very easy to make really. it's just water, a little soy sauce, vinegar, pepper corn, and bay leaf (or what we call laurel) on the meat of your choice. Just put it all together and cook! Anyway, Hope you were able to visit Manjuyod Sandbar in Dumaguete. They say it's like the Maldives of PH. ᵔᴗᵔ

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thank you. We didn't know about the sandbar. It sounds wonderful

[@lamplighter2012]

If you are up for 4 or 5 hours of travel to the other side of the island by bus, you will find there Bacolod City, the city of smiles and home of the famous and original chicken inasal 😋as well as sweet delicacies like piaya and the napoleones 😋The napoleones is best while hot. For the piaya, I love the traditional thin ones found at Quan's and Bongbong's. Enjoy Dumaguete!!!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Brilliant. Thanks for these recommendations. Great idea re travelling to Bacolod. We hope to do that and then go to Guimaras and Iloilo. ;-)

[@marb9093]

The same dishes taste differently in every region because each has their own recipes. Also, in Manila, their adobo has a sauce. In Cebu, our adobo is crispy pork.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Ooh I want to try them all. Thanks. ;-)

Hello guys, enjoy Dumaguete and try Dumaguete local food as well ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thank you. We've found some delicious food here in Dumaguete. ;-)

[@mariac5346]

We love your videos! Keep it up! I grew up in Cebu and I’ve never eaten Chicken or pork adobo growing up. Our “adobo” is actually fried. 😃 The food is regional so I’m guessing that’s the reason you actually haven’t found that in the visayas region. I know how to cook adobo now thanks to KZbin! 😆

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks again Maria. I might follow your lead and find a recipe on KZbin. I have to be honest though Jerry would cook, not me as he is very good at cooking whereas I am ok but would probably ruin it. ;-)

[@mariac5346]

[@pinay1abee-tr7lu]

Oh my! I wish i can make you my chick/pork adobo! I just cooked a diff version with fresh pineapple here in the US. But the orig version is really good also. I cant believe its hard to find there. I wish i can cook for you guys someday!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

That sounds great as I love pineapple. I would love to eat Adobo freshly cooked at someone's home. It would be perfect. ;-)

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Nancy this is perfect and exactly what I'm planning to do. :-)

[@amaliahightower]

You were on a mission to find that adobo. I was laughing every time you asked if they had adobo. So glad you finally had some. I don’t remember if you’ve been to Mang Inasal. So so good and affordable. You gotta try their halo halo.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Lol thanks. I haven't tried Mang Inasal yet but will definitely go soon.

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

Chicken adobo is not considered a street food in the PI, it's more like a home cook meal. You will always find adobo stews at restaurants, carinderia's eatery, and hotel restaurants.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Oh thanks. That's good to know.

[@eduardochavacano]

@@AlwaysonaJourney Adobo is nothing special. It is mundane, a word that only 1% of Filipinos use. It is something you can find in a carenderia, places where the masses eat because they think it saves them money.

[@yesandexplore]

Those ferry tips were golden!! And why do you usually choose Airbnb the website? Is it popular in Philippines? Most countries we visit it’s expensive 😢

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks once again for your support. We often choose Airbnb because we both work online and need stable wifi. We also need two separate rooms to work from as we often work at the same time.( We teach) From experience sometimes staying in a hotel means sharing the wifi with other guests. With Airbnb we always communicate in advance with the owner to verify the wifi speed. It costs more but it's essential for our jobs. ;-)

[@MsVroege]

You need to ask where you can find a carenderia( a local eatery) if you wanna try local food.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thank you. That's good advice. :-)

[@lorelagutierrez4295]

Love ur videos enjoy here in the philippines new subcriber ask the guy with u is he a filipino god bless

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks Lorela. Jerry is from Thailand.

[@dannysantis2622]

If you're in Dumaguete, better ask for Humba (Hoomba). That's the Dumaguete's version for adobo. 😊 Stay safe!

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Oh thank you. That's good to know. ;-)

[@logik1973]

Thats visayas version of adobo not just dumaguete, youre welcome.

[@dannysantis2622]

@@logik1973 Ah...ok. Not so familiar.

[@eduardochavacano]

Calling the humba a version of Adobo is very Ignorant. Its like calling Sushi a Siomai.

[@dannysantis2622]

@@eduardochavacano Well, that kind of ignorance doesnt affect your soul. Nothing so important and it's no big deal. Because FOOD however.... 1 Corinthians 8:8 [8] FOOD, however, will NOT IMPROVE our RELATIONS with God; we shall not lose anything if we do not eat, nor shall we gain anything if we do eat. Why don't we ralk about real IGNORANCE that affects your soul?! Ephesians 4:17-18 [17]In the Lord's name, then, I warn you: do NOT CONTINUE to LIVE LIKE the heathen, whose THOUGHTS are WORTHLESS [18]and whose MINDS are in the DARK. They have NO PART in the LIFE that God GIVES, for they are completely IGNORANT and stubborn.

[@aimeerhernandez]

I'm glad you guys are coming back to Siquijor, wish I was there and cook adobo for you.😄 Btw, can't you haggle with the fare of the tricyle? Is it the standard fare right now or your place is far away from the port?

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

I wish you were there too. You could cook lol and we'd buy a delicious dessert. I hate haggling but I know it's necessary sometimes. :-)

[@melanieyanes4390]

the cheapest & easiest way to have adobo is by cooking it yourself. you'll find so many different ways of doing it on youtube. so you can eat it anytime you crave for it. good luck

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks Melanie. i will have a look. Jerry is a great cook so it will be interesting to find a recipe and give it a try. ;-)

7:48 ok guys, once your belongings leave your hands please keep an eye on it! Be aware of you surroundings.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. I need to insist that I carry my own bag from now on. It happened so fast. Luckily it was ok this time. ;-)

[@lindah4579]

I have been to the Philippines a number of times in the past but being vegetarian/Vegan there still isn't a developed market yet like other touristy countries such as Thailand and Singapore etc

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

I don't know anything about that but definitely think it's important to have more options available everywhere.

[@msbee-xj8ni]

Jerry looks like a Filipino actor but I can't remember who. ❤

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

He is curious now. ;-)

[@Arnel_A67]

100 peso tricycle ride for 5 mins is indeed expensive. next time ask locals how much is the actual fare. Adobo is more famous in Luzon area, so every eatery have it. 😊

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks for the tips! We hope to visit Luzon soon.

[@gbxd]

Pork Adobo is more tastier. I hope you can find one freshly cooked.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks. We will try the pork adobo ;-)

[@Mickeyyy0909]

Chicken adobo is easy to find specially in a filipino restaurants not a canteen. Go to manam comfort filipino, locavore, kuya j and other filipino reataurants in the mall.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thanks Mickey.

[@dumaguetedreaming]

For local BBQ chicken (Manok) besides the market and stalls the locals like to eat at Mang Inasal, you get unlimited rice. There is one in Robinsons.

If you want to make your own adobo every grocery store should have a package of adobo mix, Mama Sita's is the most popular and sold world wide.

There are actually a hundred Variations of ADOBO depending on your location.Adobo bought from street/ Stall hawkers taste different from uppity restaurants that offer ADOBO!.. Much like HALO-HALO too!--- Not all Halo-Halo are the same!

[@MarqAljoOfficial]

I have a pitch for you guys! Make a video solely focusing on testing different Halo-halos in different restaurants, may it be in well-known restaurants like Chowking or a small stall beside a street and compare them. Your thumbnail will be titled "This might be the best Halo-halo here in the Philippines" with a big photo of a halo-halo and the two of you looking shocked behind it. I also like the way you say Halo-halo, with your strong accent, take leverage of this and in the first seconds of the video, make a montage of you saying the word "Halo-halo" to hook Filipinos in and i guarantee you they will copy the way you say it because it is peculiar (not in a bad way). I am one of the people that copy the way you say halo-halo by they way :D Now, when you have a new video notification, i always say "oh it's Mister halo-halo" and my girlfriend always give a good laugh whenever i say it. That's my pitch :)

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Ohh that's really cool. Thank you for taking the time to write this suggestion. I actually love it. Watch this space. All the best and have a great day, Mr Halo Halo. ;-)

[@Spy-hp8ki]

At the first eatery, you'll notice that the girl was speaking Bisaya. Because she thought Jerry was Filipino.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

It happened almost every day. It's funny. ;-)

[@manilaboie4779]

Its because adobo is traditionally cooked in Luzon. 😅 Its More of a tagalog region dish.
