72 HRS Eating the BEST FILIPINO STREET FOOD in CEBU

Some of the dopest food I've ever gotten in my life, man Cebu blew my mind. It's incredible to see how diverse Filipino cuisine is and I feel super lucky to have experienced it on my 14 day trip in the Philippines. It's definitely a place that takes a special place in my heart, and I'll forever remember the great bites and people I've met along the way. I love you Philippines and see you soon :-) ❤️🇵🇭

I want to say thank you so much for this video. What could've been a "take some b-roll of street markets for views" became an homage to the culture. It is almost normal to see videos of tourists show obvious disgust when approaching filipino food let alone eating it. Instead, you came at each vendor with grace. You have my respect and thanks.

[@malditayads963]

"Just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it's bad food." - Dooby, 2024 In Cebu, there are a lot of cheap places to eat and mid-range and expensive ones too. The thing about the place Tina went is IT IS THE PRIME SPOT of Cebu's market industry. So, the food they serve are cheap because the ingredients that are used came from direct suppliers, there's no middle man in between. The Taboan Market is also a public market, so the rent is cheap to zero. The cooks or sellers of the food are their own bosses and employees as well, so the products' stay w/in the price they wanted it to be. This just goes to show how locally-owned and small businesses are still able to provide GOOD FOOD but at a price that ANY FILIPINO can afford to buy. You gotta love Dooby for bringing this type of discussions and examples in a platform where creators typically follow the mainstream (or tourist-y) options. Gihigugma tika, Dooby! (It means I love you.)

[@rayeatlove]

I was born in Cebu in 1976 before moving to Los Angeles in 88. The food scene was so much different when I was growing up. I think it was simpler and the ingredients were more authentic. The one thing that nobody can take away is our style of lechon because I believe we have the world's best lechon chefs. Thank you for loving my homeland and I appreciate your work♥👏

[@homeostacies829]

This is the best feature of Cebu I have ever seen. Ever. Not even Filipinos do it this good, this authentic, this well-researched. Shows real local knowledge. Shows heart, Dooby.

[@totsbig]

32:34 God damn, Doobie nailed it! That's what most clout-chasing PH food reviewers miss. The food here in PH might taste repetitive, lack spices, mostly fried, reliant on sauces. We get it. But the vibes, man. The bonding, the group atmosphere. That's what PH cuisine is all about. Communal food, beer-friendly, mix-and-match to your liking with things like rice and vinegar to balance it out. With excellent music in the background (tone-deaf Pinoys are rare). Oh, and to finish it all up, we have a top-tier dessert game, PH love them sweets!

[@DaestrumManitz]

You have touched on the concept of what the Greeks refer to as κοινωνία. 🫶🏻

Thank you for showing the world the best way to experience our food. For sure, other Cebuanos watching are very happy with this vlog ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bewhewbs]

man, I miss my home, cebu. can't wait to get back there this golden week. 8:25 puto'g sikwati. puto = sweet sticky rice with ginger sikwati = hot cocoa those round things made from cocoa beans are called tablea. my grandma used to knead those by hand every night. puto'g sikwati is a traditional breakfast. best paired with the sweetest mangoes.

[@wh2ok]

Ohhhhh good information! I will eat puto sikwati at the market in mid-June of CEBU. Can you recommend traditional foods that i can eat in Cebu?

[@bewhewbs]

@@wh2ok I just got back here in Cebu and I would like to say, the mangoes right now are the sweetest! I hope it could stay that way when you get here in June. I would recommend you check the food presented in this video like Lechon and the local chorizo and eat it with puso shown in the video as well (it's very simillar to ketupat from Indonesia). And If you can, checkout torta from Argao and maybe bibinka near some churches early in the morning. That's as traditional as it gets I think lol. There is also a variant of puto that is purple It's less sticky (the rice grains feel more separated) but it's more fragrant. If you're looking for what locals usually eat there are many food bazaars in areas like IT Park where you can find food like siomai (local siumai) and ngohiong. There are also traditional food that can be eaten during christmas like binignit but I think some places make them anyway even when it isn't christmas, unfortunately I'm not a very good guide and I just go where my relatives take me so I can't name places really well, sorry for that.

[@wh2ok]

@@bewhewbs ohhhh!! I’m going to stay in moalboal for 3 nights. I will try eating Ngohiong, bibinka, and so on! Thank you for the tips ;)

[@edothecat337]

At the Pungko, pungko, I believe they don’t serve beers because if they did, people would hang out and chill there forever just drinking. It’s to keep the flow going and have people just eat and leave. So I think that’s why they refrain from selling beers. Awesome content! I love how you really went really local and the markets. You’ve done a lot more than I have and I was born and raised in Cebu. I cannot stop laughing about the “Chicharon Bukake!” 😂

[@ImelynnBombeo]

I'm Filipina and live in Mindanao, I just visited Cebu for a short travel to visit my brothers, nephews, and nieces who all live there. Would've loved to see you there because I also went and ate at all the places you've been!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm so happy you chose Cebu because that is my absolute favorite place to visit when I want to eat lowkey good food. There are a lot of places in the Phils that have different take on food & Filipino culture, but Cebu is the best place to start a Filipino food journey. Kudos to the research it took to find these absolute best places to eat in Cebu bec we all know there are a lot to choose from. 😍🥰

[@geraldlongakit8132]

Nice research on the local food in Cebu. On point. 10/10. Good thing you didn't go to Carcar for your lechon hunt. Some tourists usually go there unknowingly due to hype. Talisay is where the authentic famous Cebu Lechon found. ❤❤ BTW, you missed the famous Cebu pork chicharon. Kuya Phet's chicharon (in Labangon, Cebu) represents this food well so far.

[@Ver0_Cat]

I agree. The best Filipino food I ever had was also by the sea. We were so overwhelmed by the many restos in Puerto Galera, so my mom went to the local seafood market then talked to one of the carinderias and talked to the cook. She told the cook what to do, and soon enough, the food was served to us. Stripped off all the fancy resto interiors and artsy plating, we were literally sitting on the beach in humble stools and a wobbly table, but eating the freshest seafood caught that day. Not counting my Filipino mom's cuisine, I remember this as the BEST food experience I'd ever had in my life. The Philippines has one of the best-tasting seafood!

[@user-qq8bw8vu1e]

[@laneeast]

Thank you for taking the time to explore Cebu, Tina! I just have a few things to point out: - People in Cebu are called Cebuanos, not Cebuans 😂 - The white wrinkly thing you called chicharon is landang, not chicharon 😂 I think it’s used in binignit/bilo-bilo which is a snack that is kinda like a sweet hotpot - Paypay is cebuano and tagalog for fan so pinaypay is quite literally fanned out banana. - Puto sikwate is usually considered as breakfast food in Cebu, not dessert. - Kinda wish you tried the chorizo with a little vinegar, just like how we locals like it. - Puso is encased in coconut leaves, not banana leaves. - The root crop you pointed in Taboan market is called gabi, i guess taro in common terms? Filipinos, correct me if I’m wrong here 😅 - The crab relleno is filled with crab meat and vegetables that I can’t identify but definitely not rice. - There’s a debate on which city makes the best lechon in Cebu (Talisay, Carcar, Liloan) but I guess wherever you go, you can never go wrong with Cebuano lechon. - Love that tuslob buwa didn’t scare you but if you want the most authentic tuslob buwa you can get, go to Pasil. It’s a barangay right beside Taboan. - I think I may be biased but I honestly think there’s not a bad restaurant in Cebu so it was not a surprise that the pochero place you went to was good, but if you’re taking recommendations, try Ekit’s Pocherohan next time. All in all, I love this video! You couldn’t have done a better job on showcasing Cebu to the world 💕

Did I just watched 1h30 of Philipino food? Didn't see the time past. I love your food reviews, and the balls that you have to try any food.

Cebu is the best part of the Philippines. Culture and the people are the heart of it. You haven't been to the Philippines until you've been to the visayas..

[@cryztalqueer]

A few notes; 0:20 Visayas is not an island but a group of islands. One of the three parts of the country, the other two being Luzon and Mindanao. 15:37 The string or thread used in making the chorizo or 'longganisa' is not commonly edible 19:00 The chicharon bulaklak is made from pig's certain organ called the masentry 19:26The rice is wrapped in coconut leaves not banana and it's called 'puso' 46:23 Lechon leftovers are usually cooked as paksiw (Lechon Paksiw). The leftover is cooked with onion, garlic, pepper corns, dried bay leaf, and vinegar. 52:02 It's evaporated milk they put on top of the fruit mix, not condensed milk 57:08 There is no glaze on the chorizo(longganisa). The 'glaze' is from the spices and ingredients like sugar, mixed with the meat inside that produces such graze. Also the fat of the meat. Thank you for showcasing Pinoy food Tina. Although you might have forgotten an important part of Filipino food, the KAKANIN. But maybe that's for when you come back.

the oil is from the cocoa beans

[@cryztalqueer]

@@dana_ella really? But it is cooked with coconut milk right?

[@AiPheeScott]

Cocoa nibs does have its own fats. When separated its called cocoa butter. So yes the oil comes from cocoa beans themselves.

[@cryztalqueer]

@@AiPheeScott oooh, thanks for the clarification

[@dana_ella]

@@cryztalqueer nope. Authentic Filipino tablea is made out of 100% cocoa. That's why it is bitter. Sikwate is just tablea and water. Coconut milk can be used for tablea chocolate milk but people save the coco milk more for suman or puto maya

An hour and a half will always fly by with your videos :)

I have subscribed to your channel over a year ago. Very grateful for visiting Philippines and going to Cebu where I grew up. Much love --- from Orlando FL❤

[@NurseTalking]

"Pinay-pay" is a banana sliced to look like a fan. You next food is "puto and sikwate" which is sticky rice cooked with coconut milk and hot cocoa made from cacao. Sikwate is variation from cacahuate which is Mexican for cacao. You're missing the ripe sweet mangoes with puto and sikwate. Chorizo de Cebu is the local version of sausage and pungko-pungko street food with "puso" or hanging rice is very uniquely Cebu. I'm glad you had fun tasting the local delicacies of Cebu with a positive attitude. Those foods are something I missed in California.

I swear. This is Netflix worthy. And I will tell you, I will do an all nighter watching these. I adore your way of interaction with thr people you have met. Asked the best questions, and the insertion of bloopers in between like butchered words made sense and made thid a full circle moment. Currently watching this while working. Really entertained. ❤❤❤ Hope to see more of these with your next food journey across the world.

[@pixelbenny]

I recently just found out about you dooby and wow you're already one of my favorite food channels here on KZbin. I just love how real your reactions are! seeing you try all the authentic food on eateries beside the streets instead of trying out restaurants in Malls or in other commercial spaces, just shows how genuine you are with food. keep up the awesome work with your channel and thank you for visiting the Philippines!

[@georgiecapable]

Yay, Cebu! I ❤ CEBU! The first produce in Taboan was taro; pusò or hanging rice-woven coconut fronds.

[@lugscogs5976]

Dooby my God how freakin amazin you are! Not only do you love and enjoy the cuisine you encounter, but you also appreciate the work and culture behind the dishes. You see food as a human connection and that makes you a gem in the digital culinary space! More power to you and your team!
