Hello, back in Metro Manila ü Yes, "taga-" is both Tagalog and Bisaya. You can say when asking for the price next time: "Magkano (how much) ito ([is] this)?" [Tag.] Sampaloc/sampalok is tamarind ü Singkamas = jicama: a refreshing, neutral-taste root crop high in water content. Best chilled, on its own; sometimes Filipinos sprinkle salt or with vinegar. Also very good as fresh salad ingredient. "bagoong" = [bag-go-ong] fermented shrimp/fish paste (you had the shrimp version which usually is also sauteéd with some seasoning). "Lagas" = fallen (off) or loose. The guy actually said "no stem" =D _Ube_ = a root crop (pretty sure it'll come out in the comments) ü _aka_ "Purple yam" and yes! We do have ube ice cream. We reco to get one from the bigger grocery or supermarket and look for *Arce* brand [Ahr'-sɛ] to get a taste of something more authentic, then compare it with the street ice cream later. ⚽Unfortunately, World Cup football isn't very popular as basketball, esp. because its broadcast is in the late evenings / early mornings and via select cable channels, but take heart-there are locals who do (friends of mine who stay up late and root for the UK and Argentina). Nice to see you getting pretty comfortable with Pinoys wanting to take photos with you ü Oh, btw: it's [hah-lo / [hah-lo] 🍨 like when you'd say "Hallo"

[@kennettemariegagtan8798]

Sampalok is tamarind Singkamas is water chestnut Bagoong is shrimp paste

[@kennettemariegagtan8798]

'No stim". The guy means " no stem"

[@kennettemariegagtan8798]

Ube is purple yam, a root crop

[@FakeCdawgVA12]

ube is a root crop Ken. Its like a. sweet potato thats color purple. Some is not authentic ube, they just put food color and artificial ube flavor.

[@gianneganapin6327]

the 2 vendor of fruits represent how we are willing to share even in small things, also it’s obvious that ken is comfortable with them. ❤️ salute also ken for being that friendly to filipinos!! you matched are vibes 👊🏼 ingat ken!

[@jillleong9386]

Warm hospitality rendered to you wherever you visit ken.Your support to the local community is admirable.God bless you!🙏💕🇲🇾

[@jocelynmasantos2387]

“Ube, also known as dioscorea alata, is a staple crop in the Philippines. Dioscorea Alata is a species of yam also commonly referred to as purple yam, violet yam, or water yam. This tuberous root vegetable originates from Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, and is often confused with taro root.”

[@UncleBin1269]

In Malaysia i guess it is called Ubi ....

[@mafehuntercat]

Still a gentle reminder Ken to ALWAYS be mindful of your belongings against pickpockets and don’t go roaming on dark streets with no much people around..Filipinos are all friendly and many arw good but there are still some people who does bad things…always be careful than be sorry.. Goodluck on youe vlog!! we are solid supporters and we love your vids!! ❤🥰🤗💯✅

[@UncleIPpyman29]

Ken, you are now officially the top one of my favorite travel vlogger, Harald is next. By wearing your face mask out of respect is very commendable! Keep safe my friend!

[@kivofeb]

As a musician myself, I felt touched when you gave some coins to the street musician. God bless your heart.

[@chaw294]

An awesome walkabout in Guadalupe, trying new food, talking to the vendors and locals. "Ube" sounds like "ubi" in the Malay Language, is a tuber like sweet potato (ubi kekedek), yam (ubi keladi) We have sweet potatoes which come in 3 colours i.e purple, yellow and orange. Haha...quest for World Cup Germany jersey begins...all the best, hope you can get it. As always, it's coooooooool to tag along with you, so pleasant and enjoyable. Thanks Ken.

[@DarkstarDarth]

North of manila are two awesome cities, Baguio and Vigan. Also Palawan island is cool

[@stevens8785]

Life is great Ken. Excellent channel growth. Seems like only yesterday we celebrated 100k. You and the Philippines are a great combination. Well done :) Re World Cup supporting England being my birthplace although I have lived in Australia for 58 years. Noted your beloved Werder Bremen doing well , mid table in the Bundesliga so that would make you very happy. For info: Ube halaya or halayang ube is a Philippine dessert made from boiled and mashed purple yam. Ube halaya is the main base in ube/purple yam flavored-pastries and ice cream. It can also be incorporated in other desserts such as halo-halo.

[@BreakawayBites]

Passing by the Jollibee a few times, so when are going to try Jollibee anyway .lol.. as always stay safe, and take care out there mate .. yup World Cup fever in a few weeks now....Come on..South Korea!!!!

[@eduardoanciano4239]

Ube is a purple yam. Yes, you should try Ube ice cream but, buy the Magnolia brand. We purchase them here in the States at Filipino or Asian stores. When we were younger, our parents do not allow us to buy street food due to health reason. We were told that we knew not how sanitary they were prepared. Always bring Imodium with you when you try street food. Actually, when we travel to foreign countries, it is always a good idea to bring along over- the counter medications for headache, fever, & diarrhea. Foreigners usually do not venture to crowded local areas for safety reasons. Prices in areas like that are not fixed. You can haggle. Items are not originals or branded. Keep safe Ken. Granny from the States.

[@reginaalemania8470]

Hello Ken, ( Guten Tag ) I hope.you can have time to visit Marikina City, the shoe capital of the Philippines. Meet the local Marikenios who speak Tagalog and English. Been so happy to see you connect with locals and see their simple way of living. Same us here in Marikina....simple happy life. Hope to see you one day making a video of the Cleanest City - Marikina ❣️

[@khryseili1218]

Stay safe always Ken. Looks like you're really enjoying your vacation here in the Philippines 🇵🇭💗

[@KenAbroad]

[@jeromebulatao4013]

Wow Guadalupe, I always go there when I was little. I haven't been there for years now. Great video as always, Ken!

[@fennylim5555]

I love your attitude when visit every different country 👏🏻❤️

[@renealcid6708]

Ken , try Philippine fruits. They are the sweetest. Guyabano is one of the healthiest fruits known to man and it grows profusely in the Philippines. I fruit cost about $10.00 in the States. About 100-150 Php in Philippines. Also try the high end bakeries which would beat the best French bakeries around. Ube is a root crop. It is sometimes mistaken as purple yam but they are 2 different crops.Philippine pineapples are really good.Chico is excellent too. Hundreds of fruits to choose from.

[@jeannemapula8738]

Hi Ken abroad thank for explore in Philippines stay safe god bless

[@jeannemapula8738]

I always watching your blog

[@guillermoblanco4060]

Mr ken you are now in manila. "Ube" is a root crop. It is harvested below the ground just like sweet potatoes. Take care mr ken and enjoy.

[@itssimplyjhen5046]

Guadalupe makati is different now clean and less vendors now. They have 2 Jollibee fast food restaurant there and the Guadalupe market next to mrt Station. Enjoy travelling around Ken

[@therogventuresvlogs3525]

Hi! We’d been watching your Vlog! We missed Philippines so much and we’re looking forward to go back in December. We live in Faroe Islands, Denmark. Hope we can meet you if you’re still there :)

[@MsVroege]

I think people staring at you cuz you're tall and most filipino love to stare at tall people because they're amaze about it..

[@teebeeem6010]

Hi ken! Its always a delight to watch you appreciate every food you tried in my beloved philippines. Ube is not a fruit its a root crop like sweet yam and potato. I suggest u try the ube ice cream. And if ever u visit TAGAYTAY try the Good Shepherd Ube Jam. Its really good. More blessings to u and ur vlog!

[@antoniovaldez3162]

Hi Ken! Nice to see you again. The sliced fruit next to the green mangoes is called turnip in English. It’s watery which makes it very nice to eat nice to eat on hot days like the watermelon.

[@chaw294]

"Jicama"...in English, it's known as turnip. Nice to eat it raw with some sauce. We, in Malaysia, too eat it that way or use it as fruit salad which we called "rojak" Guess you miss this turnip and "rojak" when you were in Malaysia. Turnips can also be cooked as a dish to be eaten together with rice or as filling for "popiah"/spring roll. Must look for it when you return to Malaysia in future 😄😀

[@KenAbroad]

Oh yeah looks like I missed that in Malaysia 🤔

[@mohdfairuz7687]

Dear Mr Ken Abroad.May I know when you want to come back to Malaysia again?

[@PinayOkie58]

Jicama is not a turnip.

[@DannyArangale]

that's singkamas. Its not a fruit but a root crops. it taste like a melon.

[@itssimplyjhen5046]

I hope you try to visit the South part of Manila which is Cavite and see the stunning and beautiful view of tagaytay. Ingat Ken

Wow Ken you are really awesome, down to earth and is willing to try anything including the bagoong (shrimp paste) with jicamas. You are very friendly as well and very giving. Take care and enjoy life in the PI. I enjoyed watching your blogs.

[@jackjohn8246]

Your not wrong mate, most fruits taste sweeter in the Philippines. I noticed that after trying same fruits in other countries.

[@lilianduenas7330]

Enjoy ken and be careful as well!!!

[@robyd]

Sampalok (tamarind) was my sister’s favorite candy/snack back when we used to live in Philippines. Bagoong is fermented shrimp.

[@yukiko313]

Thank you for great video, Ken! I love such busy and lively place! Every food looks so delicious 😋 And Ken, World Cup is coming! Germany vs my country Japan, next week! How exciting, I can't wait! even though I know Germany is super strong 😂

[@leearz545]

Hi Ken! Be safe always. I love Philippines it's more Fun❤

[@marj5159]

Hi Ken, if you wan't a tasty ube ice cream choose CLASSIC UBE ROYALE frome SELECTA, you can buy them in any groceries store in PH. By the way purple yam ( ube ) is a root crop.

[@jocelynflordeliza3299]

Shrimp paste, salty. Scatter them thinly, so it is not so salty. The fruit is also called, jicama! A root crop. We have, we call, wet market (fish,meat,vegetables) and dry market (clothings, wares) it’s speak for itself. Sometimes, you can see both, dry and wet, in a supermarket (fish, meat, groceries).

[@georgmatel9069]

ube is an edible color purple root crop like potato, taro, sweet potato and cassava and other related eatable root crop. Singkamas is turnip best with shrimppaste stew when eating it enjoy exploring more. u can check Jersey with big malls like sm,robin-sons or ayamalls or u can also go to divisoria too

[@carlitasingco1067]

Oh enjoy your day ken 🇵🇭🌍

[@KenAbroad]

Thank you 😊

[@makatangcocinero8267]

I'm amazed that you were brave to try most of the street foods and that ube flavor bread from the bakery with enthusiasm 😊 By the way, "ube" is a type of rootcrop and I think it's "purple yam" in English. Also, I'm assuming that "ube bread" you've tried didn't have any real ube in it at all. The purple color might just be an artificial food coloring.

[@fredbadbaden5322]

Ken, Ube is not a fruit. Use is a tuber like a sweet potato. It will grow big and long in the ground. The plant grow as a vine. When it matures, its tuber inside the ground is ready to harvest. The vine when it matures also produce little tubers on its nodes and those will fall down to the ground and it will again grow as a new use plant.

[@NardoCastro]

Hi Ken, Ube is a root crop similar to sweet potato. It's very high in antioxidants.

[@Rene_vlog]

Its already optional to wear mask in closed area unless in public transport and in the hospital.

[@anaganadores]

Take care always ken😊

[@judithharoldson6331]

Kuya, Ube is purple yam, kind of like potatoes, only purple. The grapes vendor was trying to sell you"lagas" grapes that fell off the trees. Sincamas or Jicama (pronounced hecama) in Spanish is a Mexican root and it's bland in taste but it's good for prevention of cell damage in the body, without the bagoong (shrimp paste) of course. BTW, Mergim English KZbin vloger lives in BGC, might want to hook up with him incase you want to live in BGC. Thanks for bringing us along in your adventures!

[@regionalpoliticalaffairs-j5945]

Wow... I miss that place Guadalupe... I'm always there for snacks... Hehehe you can try Kwik2x balot and some dynamite lumpia, its very good and also crispy chicken skin and crispy proven(chicken gizzards).

[@dondennis1814]

Hello Ken, very nice content and videos, can you please try to go BAGUIO CITY its the coldest city in the whole Philippines. Its 4 to 5 hours bus ride from CUBAO Q.C. to BAGUIO CITY, Im sure Ken you will love it there....Also the foods there are delicious...

Oliver Kahn of Germany was my favorite football (goalkeeper) player. I watched the world cup Germany vs Brazil some years ago.

Ube is the same like sweet potato, its yummy if the ube mix with coconut and sugar with milk.. Watching your vlog always.. Now your in Manila. keep safe always . God bless u

[@jesuisdixieaussi9208]

SINGKAMAS aka YAM. One of my favorite root crops

[@globomanni8407]

19:16 - oh, that's my favourite fruit - the darkgreen one on top behind you, KenGuyabano. But it's very important to eat it, when it's ripe, but not too much ripe. So actually this is very good on only one day, mabe also the dfay before and after, but that's it. You have to know someone, who knows this fruit !!! It's sweet and sour and creamy - perfect !

[@cwchow9081]

ube is the Philippines purple yam a root fruit/vegetation, like the potato, that's very nutritious and filling

[@justry1340]

Welcome back in Manila, Ken! Stay safe.

[@marvinmefragata1281]

[@marb9093]

Wow, you were eating the bagoong (fermented shrimp)! Many foreigners don't like the smells of it. I love eating green mangoes with bagoong.

[@dondennis1814]

Hello Ken maybe you can try to go to GREEN HILLS SHOPPING CENTER in SAN JUAN CITY here in Manila for the german football jersey its so many stores there...

[@tuberongnative]

Hi Ken! The white food on a stick that you ate from the mango stall is called "singkamas" or "turnip" in english while the so called sauce made from shrimps is what we call bagoong alamang or shrimp paste in english. It is salty in nature but there are some preparations or flavors that are sweet-salty, spicy salty, sweet spicy salty. About the ube or purple yam. It is not a fruit but rather it is a vegetable root crop.😃 Anyway, I might be reiterating the info becuase there might be someone who have already shared the info. Cheers!

[@oxoelfoxo]

Agree with everything except singkamas is jicama, scientific name Pachyrhizus erosus. Turnip is Brassica rapa and can be red, white or white and purple in color.

Ken I hope you're enjoying your stay in the Philippines.

[@KenAbroad]

I really do 💪😊

[@filbritfrolics9315]

i think Singkamas is a turnip in English, and Tamarind is Sampaloc in tagalog :-), and bagoong is Shrimp paste :-) it is a dipping sauce :-) Maybe next time you can try the singkamas without the shrimp paste :-), lagas i think he meant 'loose' grapes . :-) Ube (yam) i think is not a fruit, it is vegetable . Come on ENGLAND ! haahaha, that's what i will support on the World Cup :-)

[@AlexSDU]

Personally I like the yellow rambutan because the flesh is much easier to peel from the seed compared to the red one, but the red one usually much sweeter. The only German football jersey design that I remember was the one from the late 1990's, that has black-red-yellow lines across the chest horizontally.

Next time you go to Guadalupe try going to the wet market..it's the ground floor of the Guadalupe Mall..they sell dry fish, vegetable, meat and seafood..so you can experience where the locals buys their food👍 and you can also see the different seafood available and how much it is per kilo..also if you want to buy dont say 250grams say 1/4 of a kilo..sellers are used to selling in kilo in the Phils.

[@renealcid6708]

Foreign tourists love to go to high end shops . Better to shop in local stores because you find much better deals , friendlier shop vendors but Remember to Always negotiate the prices, always at least 25 to 40% less as a starting point.

[@quackersna]

You've got to try the ube ice cream. I use to get a banana split where the three flavors of ice cream were mango, ube and vanilla. Best banana split I ever had. I do not think ube is a fruit though. It is sort of a purple sweet potato.

[@ohshankly]

Hahaha Ken. It's going to be another jersey hunt mission. That Deutschland jersey you saw was from the Euro 2016 edition where they were beaten in the semis by the home team. I reckon this year, Hansi Flick and his team will go far perhaps to the Finals as they have exciting youngsters like Jamal Musiala.
