I went to LONDON to EAT FILIPINO FOOD and SPEAK BISAYA

[@KumanderDaot]

*London vlogs are everywhere, so I decided to do a fresh take on it!* Thanks for waiting a while for it, this took 4 days to make! *BTW: THIS VIDEO WAS RECORDED IN ACCORDANCE TO LOCKDOWN RULES* TRAVEL FOR WORK IS PERMITTED SINCE MY WORK CANNOT FEASIBLY BE DONE AT HOME

[@aminahforever4277]

KD, I am in tears of joy. After your frustrating fish farming in the Philippines, I think it’s best you become an endorser of Filipino food and products in all cities of the UK and possibly other countries. This is where you extremely excel! Your Bisayan interview implies your love of the language, so Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻at Siyempre, we’d like to see the beauty of all places in the UK with your cinematographic effects and narration!

[@coringsupino7620]

I can sense that Ilongga lady's happiness in meeting and talking with you... The exact bisaya word is NAHINANGOP sya... which roughly means happiness with a sense of nostalgia for Pinas ang her fil fam..

[@florenzryansotelo8552]

This vlog can already be separated into two vlogs, minimum 10minutes each. You are already a very professional vlogger, KD! Kudos!

[@meenamoon7930]

True!

[@where_s_wally]

Agree, 2 part mini series, double the views. Perhaps the same ad revenue, but more interaction for the viewers.

[@KumanderDaot]

Good idea... I just wouldn't know where to split it in half!

[@florenzryansotelo8552]

@@KumanderDaot around 12:58 is a good area to split, then add a preview of the 2nd video. Then on the 2nd video, you can have a review of the first video as an introduction establishing your two-part series. I am not an expert, just an idea though. I hope it can help. :)

[@El_.5794]

Here, Kumander Daot an English man is promoting Pinoy restaurants in the UK but former Ms. Universe Pia in London was touring Burough market and introduced English restaurants and cafes to her subscribers hahaha. I love your food vblogs Kumander. You are a Pinoy at heart ❤️

My grandma is a filipina and speaks bisaya. We enjoyed watching this vlog. Her favorite is bisayang hilaw and I think you just earned a new subscriber. Keep it coming!

[@anabiboso783]

Bisayang hilaw is an American speaks also in hiligaynon and bisaya

[@VivaciousStrutting]

wow!bthat ilonggo and bisaya exchange is so humbling. i had tears i dont know why

[@lioneljoseduterte4847]

It's Hiligaynon and Cebuano, both ilonggos and bisaya are bisaya people, it's just that cebuano speaking people are more associated to it, but in reality and officially, it's hiligaynon and cebuano...

[@n.t.alfonso]

[@jorgreiling2755]

Good idea to help this restaurant owners with your channel. Maybe some local people will find their way or order Filipino food from them after watching this video. In times of lockdown its a specially hard for restaurants with exotic foods.

[@KumanderDaot]

It's very difficult for them right now and they deserve our support, absolutely 🙂

When this is all over I'd really go and visit those places and have all the pinoy food I'm craving for so much. Well done again for another great vlog.😊👍

[@crey3817]

No need to apologize for the time it took to make. You have so much in your life to do there as it is. This is well done and yes, we appreciate the "take" you're taking! A lot of Filipinos have an interest in the places you are showing. Your vlogs are unique, comfortable and sooo enjoyable. Well done Anselm! I hope pinoys here give you more ideas for future vlogs because you really have a talent for this!

I just can't help but eat 🤣

[@El_.5794]

Hahah, it’s amazing Kumander was speaking Cebuano to Nanay while she asked him in Ilonggo dialect and they understood each other😀 Both dialects are under the Visayan language. Ilonggo is regional though Cebuano is mostly spoken in the Visayas and Mindanao. There are other Filipino restaurants in London if you want another Pinoy food tour next time. There is the traditional Josephine, Lutong Pinoy and the moderately fine Romulo cafe and restaurant among the many Pinoy restaurants owned and served by Pinoys. There you can sip espresso or drink your San Miguel beer. Explore again, bring mum, show and delight us with their features. Thanks for this vblog, Kumander!

12:20 that is so sweet both of you, kumander Daot. Very nice to watch you both demonstrating of being so sweet and kind to each other! 💖

[@OwenFriday13]

"Championing not elevating" i love that. For sure filipinos in foreign lands would want the real thing to at least find that connection to the home land. And at same time let others appreciate filipino food for what it truly is.

[@wintersojourn9356]

Yes, I searched comments b4 adding on coz I wished to say the same! “We’re not trying to elevate Philippine food becoz I don’t believe it needs elevating; it needs championing”. Sir Chef, well said! I felt his journey, as one with Pinoy blood born & raised in West. Well Way West for me Oz for him. I wonder if he was able to learn the language as he mentioned pursuing. I’m glad the pandemic didn’t completely squash his plans in London. I hope his place is still going strong…gonna search it now….Ty Anselm for this video.
