FILIPINO STREET FOOD: IS THIS MANILA'S BEST CARINDERIA?

There is no shortage of Filipino street food and some of the best can always be found in carinderia's. I may have stumbled upon a real gem at R&J Bulalohan. I have visited numerous carinderia's throughout the Philippines and R&J ranks right up there with the best I have found. With food to die for and staff that goes above and beyond this is one joint not to be missed. Pay them a visit for some of their mouth watering dishes next time your in Manila.

OMG, thank you so much. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am!❤️

[@PureDetour]

Hey everybody, What are you thinking of the new format of shorter videos and less food? Also, I am going to be in the Manila area for a bit longer and I love Carinderia food. What are some of your favourite Carinderia's in the Manila area that you would like to see featured?

[@leomarlonestrada5954]

The new format is very good. The showcase of your videos are the food and your appreciation of them.

[@PureDetour]

@leomarlonestrada5954, As always , thank you so much!

[@Mhike177]

I can’t speak for everyone, but I like it better. Reason 1, it showcases a place or two instead of many. This allows us to be better intrigued with the place and not just be interested in what you have to say about the food. Reason 2, it leaves the audience wanting for more. It leaves us (I believe) waiting for your next video because we get this feeling that a short video is too quick, so we’re wanting to see more. Good new format. I think it will not only help you more, but it will also keep us standing by for more. You’re definitely not losing audience that way.

[@PureDetour]

@Mhike177, Thank you so much for the feedback. This channel does not exist without all of you and I had this conversation and same feedback from other viewers before making the switch. I am very happy to see that people are pleased with the new format (not a single negative comment about it yet). ❤️ If there are things in particular that you would like to see more or less of, let me know and I will do my absolute best to incorporate everybody's ideas into future videos

[@vainguymarz477]

hi geoff, next time when you try bulalo, i suggest add a pinch of calamsi on it..for me personally it really enhances the flavors.. it seems that you habe tried so many filipino foods already..but i think you still have trief the squid/pusit kinilaw (my mom use to make it, fresh squid chopped then add some ginger, onions, and use calamansi for the souring agent or vinegar, my mom uses a little vinegar and more calamansi cuz it depends on the type of vinegar, if its tuba vinegar its sour and sweet).. oh you still havent tried tuba yet..fresh tuba can be found on tje provinces where there are coconut trees.. try the different varieties of lechon manok, i hope your other subscribers can recommend which is the best on your current area.. too bad that i couldnt recommended the squid kinilaw when you were on cebu.. loved you videos and journey to filipino food.. more power to your channel..

[@PureDetour]

@vainguymarz477, great suggestions!❤️ To be fair I did use the calamansi on the sisig, bulaloand papitan. I just didn't show that part on camera as I have to pick and choose whatb boring parts are going to be a in the video. I will make it a point going forward to show the sprinkling of calamansi. If I can find the pusitit kinilaw I am all over it. Even if I have to come back to Cebu😁 PS, I did try Tuba while I was in Cebu in of the videos.🎉

[@vainguymarz477]

​@@PureDetourhahaha your taste buds have really adapted to filipino flavor, yes we tend to add a bit of sourness to enhancr the flavor further,it brings out the sweetness of the flavor cuz it contrasted with the sourness, just a pinch so that the flavors won become a sinigang, hahahaha.. since you tried tuba, there is a difference with the tuba vinegar cuz there is a sweet aftet taste.. more power to your channel..

My mom puts peanut butter or liver spread on her caldereta to thicken the gravy and neutralize the acidity of the tomato sauce. Hence the peanuty taste. I prefer putting peanut butter on my caldereta over liver spread.

it occurred to me later that my personal definition of a carinderia = turo-turo, small place and cheap. i don't know if i'd count a 500-pax place with a P650 dish as one...

[@PureDetour]

totally fair, Elf. And this establishment does have full table service so it is more like Restaurant than a carinderia. Size wouldn't be an issue for me as i have been in some massive ones in both Mindanao and Cebu and as far as the Bulalo being 650, it was big enough for 5-6 pax so I thought 650 was reasonable. I have paid over 200 for a solo bowl at many places. And I ate it for a few days when I brought it home

I cannot argue with this at all. The Papaitan may have been the best one I have had so far also.Thanks so much, Leo

@@PureDetour OK. I think I need to go there and try their Papaitan. Very nice video by the way.

Thank you so much my friend.❤️ If you do go and try the papitan let me know what you think. I am sure you have more experience with it than I do. Also, if you are a fan of carinderia's and want to appear in a video let me know. I pay for everything😁

@@PureDetour Wow! I would take that offer. I will start researching for some very good Carinderias to be featured in your channel. There are some really good ones around the Pasig, Marikina, Mandaluyong and Q.C areas. I will research for some that you haven't been to but serves really delicious Carinderia food. I know of this one in Pasig. I need to research first so I will know if it is fit to be showcased in your channel. Continue your food journey Sir Geof. We are all here waiting for your next Gastronomic Adventure.

@leomarlonestrada5954, that sounds awesome. I am in Mandaluyong so Pasig is very close. As I am sure you have witnessed, I am not adverse to any food......Except for tomatoes😂 You find one you enjoy, I will bring cameras and pay for everything. 😁
