Discovering DUMAGUETE in the Philippines | Look What We Found🇵🇭

In this video, we take you on a journey to discover the beautiful city of Dumaguete, located in the Philippines.
Our day begins with a stop at Adobo Go, where we indulge in some mouth-watering and delicious local cuisine. From there, we head to Quezon Park, a beautiful green space in the heart of the city.
Next up, we visit the St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral, a stunning piece of architecture that is steeped in history and tradition.
After our visit to the cathedral, we take a moment to relax and rejuvenate with a foot massage from one of the many skilled practitioners in the area.
Our next stop is Robinsons Mall, a bustling shopping center where we browse the many stores and indulge in some retail therapy. Finally, we end our day with a relaxing stroll along Rizal Boulevard, taking in the beautiful sunset and enjoying the lively atmosphere of this vibrant city.
Overall, our day in Dumaguete was full of adventure, culture, and delicious food. We hope you enjoy watching our journey and are inspired to plan your own trip to this wonderful destination. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel videos!

Adobo has different versions depending on the region. That particular adobo is the drier version. I prefer the saucy one which I grew up with. Most “Karenderia” (street side restaurants) in Cebu has adobo. Higher end restaurants has definitely some adobo like Cafe Laguna in Ayala, Majestic Restaurant in Ayala and SM City. Now I miss Cebu.

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

It's so delicious. We also like humba. I'm the same as you and enjoy some sauce:-)

Theres so many expats in Dumaguete, Its a peaceful place to chill or you can go to Apo Island nearby for a quick scuba diving with turtles:) @ 2:26 That house is kinda cool and elegant is it? 🍷

Oh I'd love to visit Apo island. Yes that house is beautiful.:-)

[@archiecruz6336]

why is there so many expats there? ive noticed this in many videos

[@aimeerhernandez]

The Americans introduced English, from then on Filipinos speak English as well. English subject is included in the curriculum as early as pre school. Also we speak Taglish meaning Tagalog and English as well as in other dialects so they speak Cebuano English. There were also American teachers before that was at least what my uncle told me, that was way way back haha 😄 Enjoyed watching you guys! ❤

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Oh interesting to know. Thanks Aimee. Taglish sounds cool. :-)

[@aimeerhernandez]

@@AlwaysonaJourney yes I am more comfortable speaking that way haha 😄

[@velky_reeds]

No, just a little bit of correction, English was introduced during the American Colonial period but the BRITISH who arrived in 1762 were the ones to introduce english to the filipinos, not the Americans

[@butterflykissess3497]

I think there’s not much of a restaurants that sells adobo here in ph. Tho you might find this mostly in karinderyas (small roaside food stall resto). Since adobo is a staple filipino food, every household can cook this anytime 😊 so when we eat out we don’t usually order adobo. Enjoy your stay here in PH ☺️

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Thank you. That's good to know.

[@eduardochavacano]

Actually Adobo is just for vloggers. No one ever goes to a restaurant and craves Adobo. You can find adobo in places called Carenderia. But not common in Dumaguete.

[@bigmikessenioradventures]

I had been planning a move to the PH prior to the "global Medical emergency". Needless to say, I was delayed by several years. After bouncing to 8 different countries (mostly SE Asia) while PH laws relaxed I have finally made it here. I had a much different strategy than most gringos. I opted to head north to cooler climates and avoid all the Expat BS. I’m in a small town now where I am THE ONLY GRINGO and have been treated like a king. And I got a nice country (providence) girl that is incredible. So If cooler temperatures (78 today/rest of PH 97+) head north, but bring a positive open mind and please MIND YOUR MANNERS, we are all guest here, bad manners affects us all.

[@homerbulos]

There’s a restaurant in Dumaguete with the same name that has them. That was the reason I asked. Yeah, I hope you get to try! Plus sinigang, that’s another dish vying for the national dish spot with Adobo. Consider Lamb Adobo in Abe in BGC too!

[@buddyready9278]

I didn't went there next time when I come home again I will going to this place

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

We went twice and will definitely go again at the end of May when we go back there.

[@MSalem-gt5dy]

In the Philippines we use ENGLISH in school that’s why people here can speak English well. Nowadays Filipinos even speak to their children in English at home usually the upper class citizens because they want their children to be well literate English speaking, but in Manila and other parts of Luzon region they use Tagalog, too. ADOBO is very common in every restaurant in the Philippines so you can find it anywhere, even here in California is available in Filipino restaurants.

So that layout of rectangular Park, big old Church on one side, old Municipal bldg across on the other side is the usual Spanish era layout. The around the park will also have the old Mayor’s house and usually large ancestral homes of the rich… smaller towns will still have most of these old structures still in place. So Central Park, Religious power on one side, Political power across on another side and ringed around by homes of important & rich folks…

[@AlwaysonaJourney]

Oh that's interesting. Thanks for explaining this to us.

[@esthersmith765]

Oh! use serving cutlery buddy

I think when a couple eat together the rules are more flexible. We have no problem with this way of eating together. Of course if we were to eat with friends then of course we'd using serving cutlery.

I really can't suggest a restaurant for adobo bec we hardly go to Filipino restos or if we do, we don't really order adobo bec we always have it at home. But if they are available, we will order crispy adobo FLAKES (which is what i would suggest you have to try). But if in Manila, the Filipino restaurants you have to try are Manam, Your Lokal, Locavore, Mesa and Cafe Juanita. Or go to Tagaytay and go to any Filipino restaurant that serves good bulalo (another must try).

Let me tell you this, Andrew, the fact about adobo is that it tastes different depending on where you are in the Philippines, geographically. But the one true thing that any Filipino will tell you is that the best adobo is their mom's adobo.

Adobo is the last thing you should care to eat when visiting Dumaguete. No one cares about Adobo. Adobo vs. CHICKEN inato and Adobo is knocked out in the first round. Adobo vs. HUMBA, then the adobo is fed to a siberian husky or labrador.

@@AlwaysonaJourney i had Humba in Cebu and it was the worst pork dish ever. Apparently, even Humba have no character. Because Humba is okay in Dumaguete. But it just looks like Adobo. There is an Adobo restaurant in DumAGUETE, Adobo Go. First of all there is no such thing as Adobo restaurants. So it is a good place for vloggers. I didnt get to eat there, i was so full then.
