As everyone has already pointed out, most dishes in the Philippines are meant to be eaten with rice. These dishes are often well seasoned and strongly full-flavored, which the rice complements alongside some condiments like soy sauce, calamansi, vinegar, fish sauce, chili and/or banana ketchup. Visitors often misunderstand Filipino food to be salty or extra savory, but what it really needs is a rice side dish every time and some condiments for an extra twist.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is great to know! Thank you for the information friend 🇵🇭 we will do that next time!

[@Patrysha1007]

Those fried fishes need a dip, some vinegar with chilis would be great. And eating them with fried rice for breakfast would definitely be great.

[@gregmasters8558]

White folks dont like rice unless its fried rice. They will never like filipino food its too exotic and strange. Pig face,salted fish,grilled intestines,peanut butter soup with shrimp paste,pig blood stew. The cuisine is too caveman style for westerners even other asians.

[@akogepayo]

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Worth to mention is that a salted egg must be eaten with enough tomato slices to make it so delicious to eat.

[@DonRickyBaby]

Rice isn't a side dish, it's the staple for the main and side dishes.

[@eriksalvador4722]

Don't hesitate to ask the locals. Filipinos love helping foreigners experience their culture. A simple "How do you eat this fish?" or "How do you use this oil?" would definitely spark a conversation from the locals. It made my experience there way better.

The Fish.is called Tuyo or Salted Dried fish. You eat it with sinangag or garlic rice. The Tuyo is dip in vinegar concoction (vinegar, garlic, cayenne pepper, paminta, onions). We don't eat it fish only but with garlic rice coz it's salty.You wouldn't like it like that but if you will eat accordingly it's enjoyable and delicious specially with coffee.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is great to know!! Thank you so much for your comment 🇵🇭

[@CanaPhil]

The fish looks more like fried tawilis. Tawilis is a kind of sardine that thrives in Taal Lake. It does look like dried fish, but it's not; if it were tuyo or dried fish, you wouldn't be able to bite off any part of the fish bec it would be hard, not crunchy, and too salty to eat without the rice. The trick, for some who don't like the taste of the head and the texture of the scales, is just cut off the head then scrape off the scales starting from the tail part pushing your spoon toward the head.

[@MilesLansang]

Eat that tuyo fish with fried rice dip it with vinegar dont hesitate to ask enjoy your stay in the Philippines 🎉

The breakfast fish looks like a unique type of fish. Taal Lake used to be part of the bay and they got trapped in the lake due to a volcanic eruption, and it slowly turned to freshwater. The sardines adapted to the new environment becoming rare freshwater sardines. You wont easily find it anywhere else. Truly a rare experience. It's called "Tawilis".

Filipinos are generally very helpful with foreign visitors, it is part of the welcoming culture, so it goes without saying that whenever you're not sure on how to eat or what to do with certain items you got on your plate, just ask the server or a nearby local and most of the time, they will gladly help..

Hey I'm glad you are visiting my country. I was born there but raised in the US. Here's some traditional foods you should try. The most famous is balut. You have to keep an open mind when you find out what it is or just try it out. Many locals will tell Americans eating balut it will give you long lasting bedroom endurance,lol. Which is a story. Lumpia as also named as Shanghai. And if your about to try some night time street food or kalindaria, (mom & pop owned restaurant ). You should try banana que, Adidas, beta max and qwek qwek(quail eggs). Oh when you buy some water always buy it in sealed bottle. Very very cheap to buy. If you you need to use the the bathroom the word for that is the C R, comfort room. And always keep some toilet paper, wet wipes and hand sanitizer. To clean yourself you would have to use a tubo, a small scoop bucket to wash down there. And you're on the main Island of Luzon you can tour 100 islands and head north to the mountains of baguio. Another tourist destination which the temperature will drop at least 12° less. If you decide to buy any local souvenir you can wheel and deal to lower the price. Some tourists areas when buying stuff you would have to ask. Sometimes they will raise the price because your an American. Oh when you have peso, Filipino money. Make sure you have lesser bill count. Like if you can only get 500P bill notes try to get 100P peso notes. Most Filipinos will not have change. They will try to scam you the rest of the peso note like whatever you buy form100P but given them 500P. They most likely won't have change. 7-11 you won't have a problem with that. Well hope you both have an awesome visit and if you have any questions feel free to ask..

Welcome guys, just a tip - if you order food and there is lime or calamansi, its usually sprinkled on the food itself like the sisig. Just ask the foodseever or the waiter what the condiments are for. The chicken oil is poured on to the rice for more flavor. Halohalo desert should be mixed all together while its melting so you get the smooth consistency of melted ice together the mixture of stuff in there. It doesnt hurt to ask the food server or the food seller how the food is eaten or blended for more flavor and enjoyment. Enjoy guys.

I was having fun watching you two experiment with Filipino food. Just two quick comments about the food. The Sisig is good I have to agree but I wish the servers explained to you that you need to mix the egg with the meat portion of it and add the Kalamansi (small Philippine lime). The same thing for the Halo-Halo, you're supposed to mix everything together before eating it. Hopefully, you'll get to try Pork Lechon and pork Sinigang (pronounced as see, knee, gang), Oh, I forgot about the little fish. That was salted and sun-dried then fried. I don't eat the head and you're supposed to remove the scale. Dipping it in vinegar with hot chile is better, but it's all good...

That all sounds so amazing! Thanks for the recommendations ♥️

Ask the locals how to eat certain foods. For example the Sisig: that small lime is actually "kalamansi" and should be squeezed. Then you mix it all together including the egg (should be over easy, usualy raw broken over the whole stuff while it's sizzling). The kalamansi is usually squeezed on soy or fish sauce and used as a dip for most dishes.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We did squeeze it on the sisig and it was so delicious!! Thank you so much for your comment 🇵🇭

[@DonRickyBaby]

@@JacobandJennyTravel same thing when you encounter pancit bihon, canton or palabok. Enjoy!

[@filipinohomecooking]

Hi, welcome to the Philippines, I love the energy and being happy and smiling on the vlog my friendly advice since you are VLogging the philippines and having the experience especially on food. Like any others who commented, I would suggest to research or ask any waiter or even managers on how food is properly eaten or what kind of food is it. As some Filipinos might get offended by eating it wrongly as people all over the world will watch watch and may impose. Wrong impression that the food is not good simply because of wrong way on how to eat it. Don't be afraid to ask any one. Filipinos are very accommodating and helpful to tourist. We are always proud on our food. :) I hope you don't get me wrong :) I love watching tourist experiencing our country and what we caN offer. But sometimes doing it the wrong way specially on food resulting to not liking by you and other tourist might not want to try it because they saw it in your vlog. We always have To be responsible. Looking forward to see you're experience. Enjoy and have a blast. And being in other countries you have to get out from your comfort zone :) peace. Love lots.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

[@bettinaformoso]

You call that Tuyo. That is good with fried rice , dipped in vinegar Halo halo means Mix mix, mix everything it must have milk in it. mix and enjoy!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is great to know! Thank you for the information 🇵🇭

[@diegoledda3428]

Every part of our country has different dishes... You will know this if you start traveling from one place to another. Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That makes sense!! Thanks for the information 🇵🇭

[@nugget_yum]

Yall gotta checkout our streetfood, guys! It's really good! I have list of filipino street food you both should try: -Kwek Kwek (pronounce as "quack" but with an e sound) -Balut (Ba-Loot) -Kikiam (Kik-yam) -Chicharon (Chi-Cha-Ron) -Dirty Ice Cream/Sorbetes (Uh.. it's not dirty. Also, Sore-Beh-tes) -Turon (Too-Ron) -Banana Que (yeah) I added pronounciations so that you can have an easier time finding these foods by asking the locals, we're quite hospitable to foreigners. I'm enjoying your travels so far here in the Philippines! I'm subscribing. Edit: DO NOT FORGET THE SAUCES OR THE VINEGARS AND OTHER CONDEMENTS!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That all sounds so insanely good! We will definitely get some, we have been looking for banana que!! Thank you so much for all the recommendations and subscribing 🇵🇭

[@moniquechavez1911]

U must mixed it. That's why it's called Halo Halo, meaning mix.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is good to know! Thanks for the information :)

[@marksantiago8780]

Someone help these guys pls. Lol. Don’t be shy to ask the shop which goes with what (they will be glad to help) and how you’re suppose to eat and pair the food items, cause you got it all mixed-up. Dried fish is suppose to be dipped into regular or spicy vinegar. The lumpia pairs with the vinegar dip, the dynamite roll pairs with the sweet & sour sauce. Squeeze the calamansi (local lime) juice on the Sisig only (remove seeds after) and mix, together with the egg, and accompany it with some of the Java rice. Enjoy your food adventure. 🍽😋

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Good to know!! Thank you for the information :)

[@cocomine8897]

That dried fish should be eaten with dipping sauce and rice and it's recommend with fried rice with matching coffee it is best for breakfast.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is great to know! Thanks for the recommendation :)

[@primopierre]

From where i come from we do not eat the head of the tuyo. we simply eat it by hand, manually peeling off only the meat from the scales and bones and throw away all the rest

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is all great to know!! Thank you for the information :)

[@junsotto1813]

Guys, if you're not sure about the things that you want to try like food for example better ask the locals, don't be shy or scared they're there to help you. Welcome to the Philippines. 😊

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

You are right, everyone is sooo nice!! Thank you so much friend :)

[@LarryLoqueno]

Filipinos are easy ro please ,especially when you appreciate Filipino foods.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

It was all so delicious!! Thanks for watching friend 🇵🇭

[@AngkatanNamwaran]

I highly recommend you to try Andok's Rotisserie Chicken and Liempo/Pork Belly. By the way, Filipinos love making our own dipping sauces, so you'd typically see soy sauce, fresh chilies, calamansi and vinegar at restaurants or you could ask the staff for some if you want (some restaurants are self-service when it comes to condiments, while others are not). To prepare the dipping sauce, what you should do is put the chili in a soy dish, cut it up with your fork and spoon, then squeeze the calamansi and add either soy sauce or vinegar or you could also mix both of them together if you want to.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That all sounds so delicious! Thank you so much for the information friend 🇵🇭

[@feramos4518]

Have you tried calamansi juice, better than lemon

[@AngkatanNamwaran]

@@JacobandJennyTravel You're welcome, and we love Garlic Fried Rice, get it whenever you can. I recommend (Mesa) it's a Filipino restaurant.

[@tumamace]

All foreigners don't know how to eat halo-halo.

[@RampartPh]

As a kid, i hate salted dried fish. It's only fairly recently in my life that I've appreciated it

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

I can relate to that! Thanks for watching 🇵🇭

[@fabfevdy2081]

i love sisig! yeah!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

It is soooo good! Thanks for watching :)

[@vl68934]

just in case not mentioned yet...thats not really filipino breakfast..Next time ask for Lonsilog, tapsilop or tocsilog. Thats 3 meat varieties (TAP= tapa is cured beef, LONG=longanisa is filipino sausage, TOC=tocsino is cured pork) and all come with garlic rice (SI for siningag) and egg (LOG for itlog). Also not all filipinos eat that fish...you tried the worst choice for breakfast. Halo means mix so halo halo implies you have to mix everything so that you end up with purple shaved ice with all the goodies. Chicken oil goes on the rice. Really glad you enjoyed it.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Thank you for all the great information! We really appreciate it :)

[@piacash5216]

Wow that’s Amazing 👍👍👍👍👌💪✌️🙏

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

[@boiettmarananofficial2214]

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

[@espiyaako]

If food is served with calamansi (local lime), make sure to squeeze it over the food.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We did! And it was delicious! Thanks for watching :)

[@edgarebro1228]

and day by day i will give you an array of Foods and Drinks which is famour for Filipino taste

[@pcsixty6]

The chicken oil is supposed to be mixed with the rice, the rice is not a side dish but eaten along with the food.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

We did mix it all together and it was delicious! Thank you for the information :)

[@kennethflores6047]

The halo halo translates to mix mix in English. You need to mix it first before eating it.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That makes sense! Thanks for the information :)

[@tsuraraoikawa4612]

That’s not fried fish but it is “tuyo” or dried fish and requires a dip like vinegar and is eaten with rice like most Filipino dishes

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is great to know! Thank you for the recommendations 🇵🇭

[@ilabmuzic2461]
