[@eduardochavacano]

Davao is such a great place to go shop for plants, especially orchids. Dama De Noche is a plant with a flower that only blooms in the evening. It is like a vine. Rare flower.

[@EllisWR]

Very funny name.

[@thorts]

[@aidawilson971]

Pork Lechon is our most favorite food in the Philippines. Next is Adobo. You can’t never missed them on any occasions .

[@EllisWR]

Lechon is heaven

[@shirten8729]

This is such a nice vlog. You really tried eating at the places of the common people like a Karinderya and Lechon House. While other vlogs, the vloggers would only eat to popular restaurants here where only people with money can go, but yours is diffrrent. You even ate lechon with bare hands, that's truly admirable.

[@EllisWR]

Really appreciate your nice comment. Yeah we aren't better than anyone else we like to eat and spend time with local people. We're easy going, have a nice day God bless 🙏

[@user-ro9vu4ky5y]

Thank you for visiting in Philippine ..Have a safe flight tomorrow god bless…

Thanks alot!

[@ahmadfuadsidek1228]

Enjoy your video - made me feel travel is affordable

[@EllisWR]

Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@somedude96]

$10 is 500 pesos and you could eat a budget meal in Carinderias for 45-50 pesos that consist of rice and two side dishes.

[@EllisWR]

We only eat in Carinderias for 50 pesos!

[@mela8121]

How you dip the rice onto the vinegar, so Pinoy!👏🏼👏🏼

[@EllisWR]

Best​ way!

[@twoofakind324]

the fruit you saw on the road was custard apple ("atis" in tagalog)

[@EllisWR]

We love custard apples

[@carolrampling862]

That crispy skin and pork looked amazing.

[@EllisWR]

It was pretty delicious tbh

[@rayfordstrange1963]

$15,00 per day equates to $450.00 per month which is quite expensive for a little crowded one bedroom upstairs apartment.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah that's true, however in Davao there are no cheap online listing's that aren't disgusting. The Philippines has the worst value for money to quality I've ever seen

[@anikalove5549]

[@marsrideroneofficial]

My meal experience in Davao City: 1984, 1 cup of rice is ₱ 1.00 and a small dish for ₱ 0.50 (binagoongan) 2023 September 1. A cup of rice in a small plastic bag fpr ₱10.00 and 2x Lumpia ubod for ₱10.00, that's $ 0.35. Optional is a bottle of coke for ₱ 15.00 or $ 0.26.

[@EllisWR]

Yep that was 40 years ago

[@jayh.3354]

I stumbled across this video today. I'm in the same exact room right now!!! Weird! Like when I stumbled on a random utuber doing a video on Songkran in Chiang Mai, and yup, there I was in his video. One more "coincidence" and I'm playing the lottery!!!

[@EllisWR]

Ahaha absolute madness the universe is telling you something

[@jayh.3354]

@EllisWR I've done Manila & Cebu, Davao was 3rd on my list. I just got here last night, late, "Red Lightning" Alert at Manila airport for hours, ground work halted. After 3 flights from Udon Thani>Phuket>Singapore>Manila, I was so tired. But, $125 one way, worth it!! I'll be exploring in a couple hours.

[@EllisWR]

That flight route sounds like absolute hell! Enjoy mate

[@jayh.3354]

@EllisWR Hey, when you were here how many towels did you get. I checked in with two people, ID'S and everything submitted before check in. 1 towel for two people, I asked for a 2nd towel and was told it was 50 pesos. I wasn't happy so I came back downstairs with a 1000 peso bill. My 2nd towel was free as they had no change. I'm nicklrd and dimed to death in PH, you have same experience? Oh, yes, I know I'm an a**, aircon on with balcony door open now.

[@EllisWR]

@@jayh.3354 Hahaha yeah he tried to charge us 70 for the towel even though we stayed over 14 days so we used one of our own lol... can buy a towel at the market for less than that How about this we asked to order us a taxi the night before we went to airport, then on the day last minute magically he said no taxi so he will take us, then charged us more than grab and for twice the price he charged a filipino who tagged along... Yeah we left the Philippines saying we won't ever return as we seemed to just be a walking ATM not fun. Keep running that AC with the door open i love that ahahah

[@anreboquinquito4017]

Is this in El Rio Village phase 1? Wow! I live nearby

[@EllisWR]

Next to rolling hills!

[@klmn9149]

Wow..its a safe place even you walk 24 hours.

[@EllisWR]

No worries about safety here

[@roygoad2870]

Just a thought, did you think of buying your own food and giving it to the lady that does the cooking and obviously pay her something for her time? 😊. Great vlog showing the reality of the Philippines with no sugar coating 👍

[@EllisWR]

Fantastic idea there cheers! Good video idea too!

[@HARU11211]

850 for a night and the quality of the apartment too is 5star quality thats a bargain 😊

[@imakinsb5549]

Love it, thanks for showing this ideas…I we can’t wait to visit in November! Everything is truly cheap in the Philippines! Only if Filipino people knows how bless they are with natural abundance then they would not be complaining of hunger.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah it's affordable, everything is extremely low quality but affordable!

[@romaengholm]

If only you realise that affordability is relative. If you earn in a currency that is at least 50x more than the value of one pesos, you are 50x more blessed while you spend in the Philippines. Filipinos are not huge complainers, all things considered, so if they complain of hunger, they truly are hungry.

[@romaengholm]

@@EllisWRIf you want extremely high quality, it's available.

[@imakinsb5549]

@@romaengholm actually, they don't need to afford food as they are already in the land. All they have to do is find and grab it. I grew up in the PH and we used to just go in the wilderness and find food everywhere :)...

[@erictorigrosa7483]

Ellis... I ❤ your english accent

[@EllisWR]

Thanks so much

[@ronelantoniano1766]

I missed those foods you eat.Yummy and not available here in qatar.

[@EllisWR]

Was pretty tasty!

[@VinNord]

I've never seen turon soaked in white sugar...

Neither have I

[@wilvanelsemelon9245]

Davao is famous of crocodile lechon try to go I think that’s is great 👍 thanks

[@EllisWR]

Looks really cool ye!

[@meryltejada3890]

Masarap - lami (bisaya word1)

[@EllisWR]

Yes!

[@tanyaespinosa969]

Im also frm davao😊

[@EllisWR]

Lovely place

[@twoofakind324]

that fatty piece of adobo is the best part for me.

[@EllisWR]

I like it too!

[@beaulong]

Rent has gone crazy from the videos ive seen recently... whats your take on this?

[@EllisWR]

Everything is cheap as chips just don't stay in tourist areas or big city centers I guess

[@beaulong]

@@EllisWR food is definitely on the cheap! Great video. 👍

[@Eileenpenz-lk8uq]

Cut the chili and let it sit in the vinegar and soy sauce for a minute before you eat.

[@EllisWR]

I like to eat my chilli though

[@ziaali5264]

Did you find this studio in Air BNB ?

[@EllisWR]

Yes that's the one! You will see it if you look near crocodile park and zoo

[@jomsies]

whats sad is $10 a day is above minimum wage in davao T_T

[@EllisWR]

Most of that is our accomodation tho!

[@flatlinershots]

made me laugh when u said about noise and stuff, i find Philippines so chill but then i do prefer the provinces. prefer lifestyle there much more than here in uk. normally u crush the little chilli with the back of your spoon into the dipping sauce u made with soy and calamansi. lechon baboy goes so well with tuba lol

[@EllisWR]

It's least chill country we've visited in 2 years ahah. Yeah saw a man doing that after we had eaten we learnt then!

[@renatzkigab2616]

You've been in the poor neighborhood bro but its quiet comfortable comparing to those near the city center its chaotic, accent are in English no doubt you two came from UK am I right?

[@EllisWR]

This neighbourhood didn't seem too poor it was quite nice. Center is awful aha. Yeah northwest England 🙏

[@solkalibri1376]

Vietnam? I thought you are going home to Malaysia because Malaysia is truly Asia? That's what they said.

[@EllisWR]

Soon. We have lots of places to visit. Malaysia needs a proper planned trip to explore cool unique spots!

[@antigraftandcorruption5849]

10 dollars a day is enough only for food for a family of 5 members here in the Philippines

[@EllisWR]

The food at these Carinderia is very affordable and if cooking yourself even more so!

[@antigraftandcorruption5849]

If you can't cook or don't have time, rice cooker is fine, then buy any dish at carinderia for take out to complete the meal at your very own home

[@EllisWR]

@@antigraftandcorruption5849 This is what we were doing!

[@pkpp96]

THAT chili should be mixed with soy sauce

[@EllisWR]

I like to eat my chilli straight not in soy sauce salty and no good

[@VinNord]

Why are you dunkn the rice on the toyo sauce....its acidic...only the lechon...

[@EllisWR]

Because I want to clearly

[@piacash5216]

Here In The USA I Like To Put Rice in The Bowl With Butter and Pour Soy Sauce on It So Good Try it Some Time ….😂😅 We Hardly Eat Meat Specially Pork …. I Eat Lot of Vegetable and Steam Fish With Soy Sauce of Course love 💕 Them 😂😅

[@EllisWR]

@@piacash5216 Why no pork it's heaven!

[@jaysongopio9702]

If you have your own house and kitchen 10$ is too big for one day

[@EllisWR]

Accommodation included

[@curious1264]

Jesus it's sounds like your eating in a construction site. Someone's sawing wood behind you, just watching this stressing me out

[@EllisWR]

Like I said impossible to not have high blood pressure and be stressed anywhere in this country

[@kristineannnieva6]

We're used to the different noises from time to time, its just normal to us..we dont get stressed out with small things, sometimes you just need to let it go thats how we are 😊

[@EllisWR]

@@kristineannnieva6 It's not a small thing though nobody wants to spend their time like this it's living hell haha. Standards and self respect would go a long way here

[@kristineannnieva6]

Well, depends on your perspective and the area.. If you are in the carinderia along a busy highway or street and a construction works nearby, then thats expected..you have to go some place to eat for your convenience.. I suggest you go to a closed resto or inside the mall so you dont get any inconvenienced, thats the fix.. No need to be stressed out haha

[@EllisWR]

@@kristineannnieva6 I don't eat in malls or fancy restaurants I like good food. Nowhere in The Philippines was very peaceful even small towns were busy! If some people love to live in chaos then that's their choice I guess :) have a nice day

[@ThePaulopineda]

Bro $10 a day uhmm you're considered above avg if you spend $10 a day for food here. You can go as cheap as $2 but still enjoy the food. Well, you ate lechon so that explains the price.

[@EllisWR]

Nobody spent $10 on food? We only eat in Carinderias for like 50 pesos. 10 dollars meaning everything from food, transport, accommodation etc.

[@ThePaulopineda]

@@EllisWR Ah i see i thought just food. I mean like if you eat in some fancy restaurants then $10 is not much for one person, but just somewhere avg, should be more than enough for food. I think $10 for everything is reasonable though unless you ride taxi. Hope you enjoy your stay.
