I think much better instead of asking them for a minute to interview just ask them like "pwede magtanong?" because most of the filipinos will be shy if they think that it would be a serious interview about something in general hence, they're scared everytime you ask them for an interview.

[@impulsiveurge5837]

Pwede magtanong, kala nila isang tanong lang tapos ang labas pala interview. Lokohan yun paano kung ayaw nila madaming tanong at may pupuntahan sila.

[@danicabanban7513]

Yes! You can ask them directly what's your question cause most of that kind of approach will think na you're a networker

[@infamouzbanana]

For season 2, you should go to Pampanga. That's the cuisine capital of the Philippines. Also there are a lot more dishes other than adobo and sinigang which I feel is important for you to try and expose to your viewers. Don't get me wrong I think what you're creating and doing is AMAZING. I love watching your videos compared to other KZbinrs (which I won't name) because you seem so genuine and in touch with your roots with Korea and the Philippines.

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

18:58 Jessica's authentic reaction.. Parang dika makapaniwala sa Napaka sarap ng kinakain mo na Pares ha. Haha Napaka detailed ng explanation mo. The best Ang Pares at Budget meal, sulit na sulit Ang Pares 💯..

[@artemiontessan378]

So ironic. She wandered in the local streets and solicited a lot of pedestrians and residents for recommendations on local short-order dining favorites and she ended up with a Mexican dish that was invented by an American surfer. Fish taco a dish popular in border and beach towns between Ensenada in Baja California and San Diego in the US. This girl is AWESOME though and I'm happy she has more than a million subs. Keep it up.

[@sunnyshaiup857]

For Season 2, maybe you can ask your whole team what's their "paborito" so you can try it out too. I loved this series so I am hoping for a new season. 🥰

[@bensonlandicho4615]

That’s a good one! Make it a Series 2 then.

I will be happy if it will have a season2🥲💗

[@pizzashark69]

For Season 2, Tomas Morato in QC, España/Santa Mesa/Legarda/Quiapo/Vito Cruz in Manila, Marikina, Alabang, and then probably branch out in Antipolo/Cainta/Taytay in Rizal.

[@jocelynmanuel69]

Ang lakas ng tawa ko nung tinanong mo what is his favorite in "Pares" and he said pares. Ha ha ha😆😆 I love your "PABORITO SERIES" coz we know now where is the best place and best food to eat. MORE FOR SEASON 2..... KEEP IT UP.....GOODLUCK.... GOD BLESS....🥰💚🤍❤

[@jocelynmanuel69]

P.S. Try in Malabon City so many delicious and tasty food there.... That is my hometown....😉🥰

[@Harzach-Hardcastle7685]

Nice to see that you've finally acquired a taste for pares. It's remarkable that the pares joint is still going strong after 30 odd years.

[@pr3ttyb0yfl4cko]

Grabe, sa huling episode talaga kayo pinahirapan hahaha! Anyway, hoping na next time y'all travel in Visayas and Mindanao. Great series, great stuff, looking forward to Season 2!

[@DequitoFam]

Hoping for Season 2 ate Jessica. I suggest that instead asking people in the street, you could just ask them online about their paborito restaurant. 🥰

[@El-tf5oi]

PABORITO in different provinces for the upcoming seasons please

[@JLP627]

Just dicovered and subscribed to your channel, I love you what you're doing and how adventurous you are with Filipino food. I'm actually quite jealous you've tried Filipino food I haven't tried before. I think I'm quite adventurous and like both high-end and street type food. But watching this, I was surprised to realize I've never tried eating at a pares place before which I now plan on doing soon.

[@eavm1209]

Really enjoyed this series as well as your improved tagalog skills, Jessica! Just keep conversing with the locals and definitely you’ll get better and better! Also, I would like to suggest that you also try to do this to different places outside the metro. So that you’ll be able to taste the very local food in that place! 😊

[@christopherfrancisfaustino4635]

I really love this food series. You are opening the yes to everyone that Filipino food not only on well known-brand or franchise. But lots to discover and try and immersed with.

[@tinmendez4121]

In every food trip channel I watch, I really love it when they show the staff are also eating. Like Jolly and Worth It. Glad I found this channel cos Worth It just ended and I need a new channel to binge watch. Watching all the episodes now has made me think of what food places I will introduce and perhaps places I haven't tried before in my city (Cebu). Thanks for the awesome content!

[@igmedelacruz9398]

SEASON 2 NETO JESSICA PLSS, IIYAK AKO PAG DI TO NAGKAROON NG S2., SIGE KA

[@fridayvalencia4898]

I loved this series. Some feedback tho: no need for strict requirements of X years of staying etc, have tried it more than X times.. just anything from a local would be fine :) also ask the name of the person youre interviewing and try to ask other stuff for rapport Other places you can try: - Marikina (Gil fernando, lilac) - QC tomas morato - QC krus na ligas :p - Area 2 UP - SM foodcourt Other gimmicks: - make your own combo sa foodcourt / ask for reco

[@markymartin6037]

👍👍. Jessica’s reaction’s every time she ate filipino dishes/food is very authentic,and she will tell you straight of the food is good or so so.. even though Majority or half of her growing years was in the PH,she still exploring different kind of Filipino foods/dishes and introducinb them ro her fellow koreans everytime her Korean friends bisit the PH. Nice one Jessica keep it up..

[@danlaurence3068]

Try here in CAVITE Jessica There so many delicious food here ❤️

[@killuazauldyech2042]

It would be spectacular to have a Paborito series showcasing the best food/resto to eat outside Metro Manila.(Bulacan,Rizal,Cavite,Laguna) Yung malapit lang, para hindi naman hassle sa Production Team😅 And a guest in every episode would be lit, specially if LoLia is in it😍(or pwede rin sina RyanBang,Jinho or Dasuri)

[@theantemon6720]

Season 2! Outside of NCR! Let see those Betute tagak and Adobong kamaru !

[@sjsendo5264]

Kudos Jessica!! Your tagalog is improving!! More content like these and you will be fluent in no time. Ganitong mga segment din natutong magtagalog si Dasuri Choi.

[@reychhh]

Pares is my paborito too. Especially on rainy days or whenever i feel sick. Comfort food.

[@unknown-es2th]

I'm from San Juan City!! thank you for visiting!!!...🙌💕

[@jrperea3926]

What was that intro?! I was really sad to hear that this was the last episode, then it went 180° hearing that there will be a second season lol. Congrats on the first season, Jessica and to your team! This series really hooked me in your channel.

[@djrenle2130]

This series was so much fun to watch🤗Props to you and your team for making such wonderful contents! I kinda want some behind the scenes or deleted scenes if it's not much to ask lol that's just how much I enjoyed it. Love you, Jes!💗

[@micpe5220]

There are a lot of good food places in San Juan. From hole in the wall carinderia favorites all over to your usual restaurants inside GH. But I think these are what you are looking for, hope you try them when you get to come back: 1. Bensons - One of the staple if ihaw ihaw, don't sleep on porkchop with kiampong rice :) 2. Lulu's - They serve Palabok, Pansit, tokwat baboy and crispy dinuguan 3. Aling Banangs - Go for their halo halo These are all situated in Agora Plaza right in front or Puregold.

[@micpe5220]

I was born and raised here, btw :)

[@ranma9823]

I loved this episode the most. I appreciate the effort and perseverance you put into this. : ) And yes, next time don't ask for an interview, just say, "Saan po yung masarap na kainan dito?"

You guys could've have gone to crame the residential area, salikod lang ng greenhills dun madami locals na pede mag ask ng food place hehehe. May masarap na bbq place dun . 😬

[@djford5308]

Many Filipinos' love for Mexican food dates back to the colonial era. Many "Spanish" colonial officers who came here were actually not from Spain but from Nueva España (present day Mexico).

[@ngezhu9137]

Waiting for season 2 agad 😆😆 Sana gumawa ka rin ng best in the philippines yung pupuntahan mo saan meron best pares, lomi, bulalo, crispy pata, chicharon etc. I've been a follower since the start of pandemic and lagi ko inaabangan bagong uploads mo Ms. Jessica more links, subscribers, comments and shares sa mga videos mo fighting! 🤛🖖🙏

[@denniszenanywhere]

So the Quezon City video was her most successful paborito series. Too bad she spent hours in San Juan and even the first one 2 hours before she got a food recommendation. It’s really hard to do street interviews in the Philippines. People will always be not in the mood to talk.

[@leihope9472]

Always? I don't think so. I have seen many street interviews where Filipinos were quite willing to share their thoughts and recommendations. I think people just got intimidated when Jessica said "interview". It's better to just ask for their recommendations directly.

[@denniszenanywhere]

@@leihope9472 Yes, that's what I said in her last video, the word "interview" intimidates them and also one other person said the same thing and that Jessica may need to dress up her approach better. I guess no one read our feedback or the videos were recorded earlier.

[@lemmuelhemsworth11]

Grabee talaga!! Nakakagutom yung mga food na gi-try ni Idol Jessice.. haiiisst!! Sana, ma-meet ko po si Ate Jessica in person. Manifesting!!🙇‍♂️☺🥰

[@eugeneimbangyorteza]

My favorite part is when Jessica tasted the beef then said "It's Jessing time" then Jessed all over the stew.

[@issa2922]

I love food so please do a season 2 Jessica, and always admire your humility as a person, Godbless 😊

[@daniellelim3205]

In Greenhills, You should try ICHO, Japanese restaurant. Spicy Tuna Salad, Foie Gras Aburi, Surf & Turf Maki Roll, and Tempura. Gloria Maris, Chinese Restaurant, Taro Puff, Hot Prawn Salad, Cold Cuts.

[@michaelroberttablang8087]

You know a food/dish is too good when you get angry at it. Pares is also my favorite and will always be, especially the ones from sidecar vendors. In my opinion, they are more accessible and cheap for the normal Filipino as they consider it a street food. Pares restaurants nowadays are pricey, but it's still good to know you found a hidden gem of street foods. Thanks Jessica :)

[@PowrTeam316]

Hi Jessica, I think you're referring to the Leylam Shawarma in Bacolod. :) That's so good, especially the shawarma rice! The only difference that I notice though is that they separate the meat and the rice. Way back in Bacolod I can still recall that they would saute all the ingredients and they will top it with garlic sauce.

[@jcobar45]

Love It! Please bring it back with the quickness!!!

[@christopherevanbelen9764]

Its my first Pares at San Juan, and now mataas cholesterol ko dahil fav ko pares 😅 super dami na nila branch

[@rodmhelbagpacks]

Grabe habang pinapanood ko to natakam ako.. napa aya tuloy ako sa asawa ko maghanap ng D'Original pares .. luckily meron lang malapit samen.. super satisfied.. 😊 supper yummy🍽

[@bluebeardazhole9225]

*_beef pares has a star anis. its the one who gives aromatic taste of the sauce. try to visit LILAC st. in MARIKINA CITY. theres a lot of resto and food stall to choose!_*

[@luccilooo]

I am from New Manila but I order from D’Original Pares 3 times a month 😅 So good and so affordable

[@luccilooo]

Also pares is like a post-drinking food 😅 I don’t know if it’s just us but before after a drinking session, we eat pares to sober up hehe

[@sandcastle1987]

yaaaayyy!!i love paborito series!!

[@anniedancel2982]

Jessica I Love all your series I enjoy watching please make more video always take care God Bless

[@Jhulay02]

I’m from san juan/laking san juan 😊. You should go to “Aling Banang” isa sa sikat na kainan sa san juan and yung “Golden Chicken” near lang dyan sa pares na kinainan mo, masarap sila both. For dessert sa “Big Scoop” ice cream place sya malapit lang din dyan sa pares masarap ice cream po doon. Malayo kasi yung Greenhills sa sentro ng san juan kaya wala masyadong karinderya. More paborito series to come po❤

[@whensunkissedf]

That D’Original Pares is where I tried pares for the first time and it never disappoint. That shop had a glow-up from what I remember way back 2010. Great to see that it’s still continue to serve good and affordable food. ❤

[@EC-gq4xx]

Pares is sweet, matches Korean palette. But personally, I order Goto and Tapsilog in D'Original Pares resto. I used to go there after watching volleyball in San Juan Arena.

[@eugeneestrella8739]

So much fun watching you😍😍😍 You're in a wrong place if you go to p. Guevara along wilson st. In san juan there's a restaurant that's good

[@Jovel_]

You’ve tried more Filipino food more than I did! I miss the Philippines 😭

[@hanslouismarasigan579]

Congratulations on finishing the first season of the Paborito series, Jessica. Looking forward to season 2. Always enjoy your stay in the Philippines. 😊😊

[@ezekiel694]

Yey! Thank you sa continuity ng paborito series 💪 Santa Jessica lubos kang nakakaunawa! Tugon: salamat at dininig mo kami.

[@ezekiel694]

LT sa plot twist over plot twist over plot twist ng season finale 🤣 destiny really pushed you guys! and by the way fyi about the pares. Yes, pares SHOULD taste that way (mala) because of the "star anise" ingredient on it! That should be the standard taste, texture (lapot) and pure beef meat! Other pares is what we locally call "masarap na, madumi pa" version 🤣 💪

[@iamavee1678]

Paborito series literally my paborito ! excited for season 2 😍

[@YeyE-hv6ty]

Greenhills local here... Since greenhills is mostly consist of the high end subdivisions. I can say most of us have cars and dont normally walk around the streets. You will find it hard to look for locals. I can suggest eating at Le Ching, Tori Tori, and Eat Fresh😊

[@romarjayme8359]

Hi beautiful thank you sa pagpapakilala at pagmamahal sa.pinoy godbless

[@jennieakamine4931]

Hi Jessica, try mo sa Intramuros. Best seller lechon kawali sa Walls. Lalo na sa tapat ng Mapua and Lyceum 😍

[@arvifulgencio3745]

You should try the Beef Pares & Super Mami of "Jonas" in Retiro, Quezon City. It use to be just a Carinderia, taxi & jeeney drivers are the one that eats there. But now it's a social place where rich people eats their lunch there..

Hi Jessica, that sprinkles on the top is called tajin, when you have authentic Mexican fruits they add that in. We Filipino put salt but Mexican put Tajin (chili, sea salt and lime)

[@thealpha02]

You should go at Pares Retiro in QC to really taste the best pares ever. Also try their Stuffed Shrimp and Camto, Highly Recommended there.

[@exosudarsky4829]

If you are in Fairview you can try the best shawarma in TRI-MO, best bulalo in Bulalo Fiesta etc. When in binondo you can try Delicious Restaurant- fried chicken and special miki-bihon, Ambos Mundos Restaurant - Fried rice, Asado, lumpiang Shanghai, lechon tausi. Ha-Yuan restaurant - Maki-mi, Kanto-Mi and Fresh Lumpia Thanks

My favorite growing up in Manila, til I was seven, are sinigaang, adobo, Kare Kare and BBQ. Also have great memories of waking up going down the street to buy freshly made pandesal. I still have those dishes in Canada

[@lakwatzero3465]

I think its same with Pares Retiro. It has been franchised. There are a lot of franchises around Metro Manila. It not local in San Juan but in Retiro near Laloma.

[@Yoreinowashinoka14]

Season 2 is a must

[@remarquitoriano8746]

Try Marikina!!!! Rustic Mornings. Try their spinach artichoke dip!!!
