Finding the BEST Food at the Trendiest Filipino Neighborhood | PABORITO in Poblacion

[@buddyjaet]

I'm glad that many recognize Jessica now! She deserves her popularity because she worked hard for this! And I'm also impress how you approach and do conversation with some tagalog words! 😊 I also love your choice KITE, kebab !

[@Dr187]

Kite 🪁 and Persia grill they're both my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in Makati also 😍 so good and cozy

[@moelester1335]

EXACTLY! SHE'S SO GENUINE UNLIKE VLOGGERS FROM BISAYAS 😭

[@tigger7744]

Jessica, this series is indirectly helping advertising those "not commercial" restaurants . I'm sure they will get a lot of customers now once they watch your vlog . Keep it up!

[@jeromepadilla8055]

Jessica and her team is so polite , very respectful kasi di ask muna permission bago mag vlog. Kasi maraming vlogger na very entitled basta na lang mag vlog at nakaka disturb sa ibang tao.

[@luisacosta8535]

Any foreign vlogger, like Jessica, who appreciates the food in our country needs to be recognized not only because she embraces our culture but also speaks our language. Seldom we see someone like her on social media only makes me a proud Filipino.

[@danicagaby]

As someone who is also born and raised in Poblacion, Do Re Me's Porksilog is also my family's favorite meal there. We eat it usually after attending mass. Thank you for featuring this Jessica. Poblacion is more than just a party location. It also has alot of good family-owned restaurants. 😊

[@hoppythea]

meron ho bang street food (kwek-kwek, isaw) malapit dun? oversea filo ako & magbibisita ako dun this month eh :D

[@danicagaby]

@@hoppythea Yes meron din sa may church banda mej malayo na sa mga bars

[@sueannesalvador4964]

Jessica, it is fine smelling your food. Dnt believe other people saying it isn’t OK. A chef needs to use all his/ her senses in cooking or eating. You are doing great! Sometimes, smelling the food is a way of telling if the food will be good or not. Anyway, LOVE your channel. I just stumble upon you watching kieun Choi. Love her too!!!!!

[@infinidhrey]

4:45 i love how Jessica's reaction is synced with the light coming from a vehicle beside or behind them, highlighting her face so much for the Do Re Mi Porksilog. It's very good food, really.

[@ThisIsTranquil]

I was about to say that hahahaha It's like an aigoo moment mixed with mind-blowing

[@kolaidesu]

Really love how you are not trying places based on what's trending in Social Media, but really asking the locals what are their favorite places. Loving the series so far!

[@WhoCaresReally2023]

Next episode, Paborito sa Kapitolyo? Grabe, daming good foods diyan. You already made the episode, pero sana nakasama sa mga yan either any sa mga eto: Silantro, Tanveer, Amare, Warung, GOTO Believe. Basta, madami diyan. Sobrang enjoy sa place na yan, hirap lang ng parking, as in.

[@ireneespinas9339]

At sana na sama nya rin ang three sisters restaurant.. nagwork ako dyan from 2015-2018... and till now meeon parin.. mga authentic filipino lutong bahay ang mga siniserve nmin.. follower ako ni jessica..

[@tieroching9932]

Include Kanto freestyle and uncle moe shawarma

[@gorganhorn6872]

Jessica's vlog is creating an awesome itinerary for travel. She's on her way to becoming a truly famous vlogger in the Philippines.

I'm a Filipino-American Texas resident of 27 years, suddenly addicted to watching Jessica's videos! Thank you!

*JESS* : "THE BEST KEBAB I'VE TRIED EVER..." "I wanna take out for my breakfast Tomorrow" (me: alam ko na Ang Paborito ni Jess...) Nanghuhula din Ako kung ano fav food mo. Hehehhe Porksilog & Malingsilog - Pinoy food som tam & Pad thai- Thai food Chicken & Beef kebab - Arab food(?) Budget meals talaga..

[@pixiecole6082]

I hope you can Pin the places you been to in the description so we could easily access it. 😁 This series really is for someone whose into food adventure and exploration. Hehehe Mapapa-gala talaga hahaha

[@kchryzljohndelacruz9943]

Thank you Ms. Jessica. Even if I don't have any means to travel, and because i love to eat, this series helps me a lot to know more about our country and about foods as well. I really love this series as much as like your previous one, the Trabaho series. Hoping you could visit Davao City as well. Thank you for dedication. GOD bless you and take care always.

[@disishowuremindme662]

Hi Jessica! I'm so happy to see you that night-literally happy. Your super nice, super pretty. I was excited for the whole week and bragged that I met you to all the people I know. My heart is so full that you loved the porksilog. I've been a fan for 4 years now, starting when I saw your video with your sister eating Mang Inasal. Loved all your videos!!! Merry Christmas!!!😘😘😘😘😘

[@enso8762]

The first place looks so cozy, like a tambayan place. I went to Tanay and Morong Rizal, they have food bazaar there until the end of the year... recommended. So nice👌

[@Harzach-Hardcastle7685]

Great recommendations. If by happenstance, I find myself in the neighborhood, I'll probably check out 'Do Re Me' first, just because I'm a big fan of tapsilog. And beef tapa soup sounds like a winner. If you thought that was odd, you should try tapa canton and tapalabok (tapa palabok). They're actually pretty tasty.

[@gavinsolano2259]

You should've gone to Friends and Neighbors, an institution already in that area, serving carinderia-style Filipino food with good quality and taste. Chef JP Anglo featured it once in his vlog during the pandemic. I personally love their laing and bbq there.

[@mykzclemente808]

Hi Jess, suggest that you don't say "can I ask for an interview" it would be intimidating even for me... How about "Can't ask you a question" or "may I have a minute" or "kuya/ate, tanong LG po" 😂😂😂

[@shirinlune]

As a half Persian half Filipino myself, I am adding that last restaurant to my go-to list for the next time I visit the Philippines!! So rare to find my mix of cultures I’m amazed hahaha. Love your videos 🤍

[@tmb3131]

The best of Makati is the selection of food in my opinion. I'm close to all of the places you mentioned, can't wait to try them all! -- Fantastic content!

[@christopherfrancisfaustino4635]

Maybe you could include the Laloma Lechunan. At the end of the Retire Street Manila, the street stretch is side to side lechon restaurant where you can the lechons on bamboo standing display outside the long street line of restaurants. They are lechoneros association of the Philippines. They are better than the CEBU lechon. And also they have one area where cook grilling the lechon still on the bamboo.

[@christopherfrancisfaustino4635]

They also have lechon baka.

[@logik1973]

Its ok to recommend, just dont compare, lechon cebu is different,

I love how Jessica is so candid and bubbly with her food escapades. Btw, try the Onlypans Taqueria there in Poblacion. The best taco I've ever eaten.

[@danl8617]

I like it that you just keep on shooting even when perspiring, keeping it real. nice place recommendations, will try some of them when I'm in the area. keep it up, Jessica! 👌👍

[@jowliebeen]

It's amazing how u describe each food very very detailed. Nakaka-wow ka Jessica :) haha Erwan, pero girl version? Char lang :D Pero two thumbs up to u and ur team! Thanks for promoting local foods and places! For sure makakatulong yan sa business nila

[@gabeannegenzola7806]

Hi jessica you could ask a paborito local resto/karenderia in every place... Para hindi ka mg struggle to ask, hope it will help you... I this episodes right no, and appreciating you for doing it... Ang imo nga food taste nag upgrade cguro sa Bacolod when it comes to Filipino food... you stay there long right? like it.. hahah

[@kellancekid]

great piece! tuloy mo lang yan Jessica... malapit ka ng tumaba!!! hehehehe seriously though... this series is giving us a fresh perspective on our own backyard. Maraming salamat po! CHEERS!!!

[@ezekiel694]

I love your speaking voice as in! basta! I know everyone here agree. 😉 Hindi tulad ng ibang vloggers na puro lang ingay, nasanay na lang tenga ng lahat 🤣 loving this paborito series talaga. Content wise na-appreciate ko yung on point & honest reactions mo. Very pinoy kana 💪 *Maling mali na pinanuod ko to at 1am 🤦🏾😅 gutom inabot ko! Nakakainis. 🤣🤣🤣

[@strand195]

Spices will always win!! Authentic kebabs from turkey are literally the best street food in the world 😍😍😍 Thanks for this Vid. I live right in Pobla and have only been to crying tiger of the three here

[@CalvinCanlas]

My Korean Ate! I loved this video, this was how I discovered your channel. Super informative and I appreciate your way of explaining the food 👌. Can't wait to binge the playlists 🇨🇦

[@SnowfoxClarett01ajmonic718]

its really good to see you trying the local food of the places if one day if you would like to be a little adventurous on trying local food there's also filipino exotic dishes that's made by snails and frogs

[@gabrielnito6606]

😂😂 love the chaotic energy of this vlog, and also love that it’s teaching me more about my culture and country having rarely visited the Philippines !🎉❤

[@ricogutz104]

Good episode, Jessica. Love the fact that your description of the taste gives a us fairly good idea of how much you're enjoying the food.

[@namiswan2856]

Hi Jessica! I'm curious.. Have you tried Maranao food? From what I know, you can find them at "Quiapo Muslim Town" or maybe Taguig? My favorites are: 1. "Budi" (fish eggs) 2. "Kinilaw" (white, vinegar, quite spicy, made with raw cubed fish) 3. Meshwe Lebanese Restaurant's shawarmaaaaaaaaa in QC yummm!!! (it's not in Quiapo nor is it a Maranao food lol but it's def the best shawarma I've tasted in the PH) 4. "Beef Randang" (I like it when the beef is soft) 5. "Pater" (also called "Pastil/Pastel", kinda like Onigiri with it's triangular shape and the seasoned shredded chicken ulam just on top lol) 6. "Palapa" (a staple that can add kick to your dish, kind of like a Filipino Muslim kimchi haha) So far that's all I have tried hehe. Sorry I don't have a restaurant in mind to recommend for the Maranao food 😭

[@richarddocog2277]

I work in a Thai restaurant before but our chef is a Filipino but its taste like authentic Thai foods .. pad Thai is my favorite Tom yum soup maybe or soku Thai or bagoong rice .. ilove Thai food really .. we used rice noodles white and transparent flat noodles... for vaiant you should try pork pa loh or Tom kah Kai ..

[@jocelynmanuel69]

Your vlog series is really good because it is a big help to us where there are find the good restaurants. thank you for your tips its really useful. Goodluck and God Bless!!! Happy Holiday!!!🥰💚🤍❤

[@lheckiboy9259]

I like this kind of style of food tasting/hunting: raw and unscripted sort of.. keep it up

[@antonioguamil3275]

If ever you feel adventurous I highly recomend Tambo Parañaque, for authentic Horse Tapa. Every 2 years me and my mates back in HS. After school we frequent Matis best horse tapa ever.

[@troythepinoy]

Haaa?! maLingsilog looks napakasarap! kumain ako ng spam maraming beses sa nakaraan kaya gusto kong subukan ang local ham na ito. salamat sa iyong rekomendasyon Jessica 🙌🏻 lalo na for that childhood nostalgia 😭

iam awaiting your episode 5 so great of about food recommendation of this series varietiy of pilipino deicacies do nice of you fond of filipino food your like a true pinoy love di jesdica keep it up

[@chloeguevarra3261]

actually Filipinos are not really scared of being interviewed, but most are just unsure of speaking in english... not that we don't know the language but mainly because we're paranoid if we don't speak it well... coz' it's suppose to be our second language and it's part of our education system which starts in elementary...

[@jackstone4327]

In short. We live in a perfectionist judgmental citizen that we are uncomfortable and scared that we might being judge by these “so called grammar critic in a judgmental way” lol

[@Katherine_inthehouse]

Naalala ko tuloy nung 1st year college ako, we always eat sa place na may free sabaw, outside ng school. Then nagkapandemic, di ko pa rin maimagine na graduating na ako. Salamat Covid, di ko naenjoy college life ko :)

[@PaoMauMahal]

Was that one "so good" for kebab, the beer, or both? :) thanks for the authentic and down to earth presentation. Think there are more poblacion (i guess makati) gems to visit.

[@dianaproclaim]

I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES 😍 I wish you were able to try the cosmic one though. Too bad it's closed.

[@7Archie4]

I like this kind of almost Raw-Vlog... Jessica delivers close to reality with quality information.

[@joey6818]

Love all those dishes. Filipino breakfast, Thai noodles and Persian kebab look so great. They make it different in the Philippines compared to the US. Thanks for the review!

[@anjgl1480]

Jessica can surely hold her own show and travelog of the Philippines. She always has this fresh, unique ideas to cover which are entertaining and informative. Hope you go on for a long time!

You must try the original pares retiro in La loma Ms. Jessica. I promise, you will be very satisfied. Also, dont forget to try their campto soup. Even celebrities visit there from time to time.

[@mikaelalim]

Big fan here, love your vlog 👍 There is another vlog I saw where the vlogger tried a sizzling sinigang in locavore in makati. I know you like sinigang.

This girl knows more about the Philippines than I do, and I’m a Filipino American who lived there from ages 9-15. I wonder how good she is at singing karaoke.

[@angelotimonera7967]

Hi Jessica, I liked it when you said "malasado itlog" and you know a lot of our tagalog words having the sabaw sa kanin dalagang pilipina ka na talaga! "Maling" is a chinese brand meat loaf and you know what, I love the satay prawn with fried rice when I was in Sydney Australia at BKK Food Mart in Cabramatta so many years ago.

[@shaleywen2648]

I'm now addicted to this series it just makes me hungry lol

[@iamsirmcfly]

Add lilac street in marikina or marikina in general

[@thehungryvaper]

i would recommend Tasty Dumplings in Banawe or the one near Binondo church and try their Pork Chop rice and add their special sauce thats already been served on the table and Im 100% sure that youll love it

[@aayjeey]

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THERE'S SALTED EGG SOM TAM IN POBLACION! You have to try this in Thailand, it's so much better than the original in my opinion!

You should also try wantusawa oyster its always full of people, if you want fine dine try our restos cafe fluer and sawsaw,if you want good wine try dr wine

[@chrizwood]

Kite is def legit and affordable compared to other restos. You should also try to go to Wantusawa, Tambai Alley and El Chupacabra.

[@junjun-ik3cn]

Much better to ask them by asking a question direct to the point. "pwede po magtanong?" or "san po may masarap na local food dito?" and after asking that you can have your follow up questions, in that way mas humahaba yung conversation. Interview to other pinoy is like a long conversation and preferred not to be interviewed.

[@armandosoriano758]

Don't ask if you could interview them, just ask them directly what they will recommend a food places. Others were so shy, that's why they turned you down but if you directly ask them... siguro walang tatanggi.

[@yoasakura661]

It means respect dude. Not all are okay with ambush interviews.

[@mn2zki]

Consent is a must.

[@johncalanno6837]

imagine going inside a house without asking for their consent. That's like trespassing their space/privacy

[@Classy.prettysavage7]

Maybe she should just ask, 'pwede bo ba magtanong?' asking them 'can I have an interview?' would misunderstand by Filipinos. They would think they need to answer her like how a beauty queen answers or something formal 😂 I think that's how they expect it to be kaya may mga tumatanggi.

Yea, you should compliment the people that gave you your choice for your paborito and I agree with the previous comment "by not asking" people if ok to be interviewed. I know you just want to be polite, but you can edit your video for those who are shy... you're too formal. Do the burgis way... lol
