Battling GALE FORCE STORMS in ILOCOS! Laoag Food To Northern Rugged Coast!

BATTLING GALE FORCE STORMS IN ILOCOS!
It was incredibly windy near the windmills of Bangui, Ilocos Norte, and also the lighthouse in Burgos that protects and guides ships navigating this sometimes treacherous pass!
From a very calm Laoag where I tried Ilocano dishes like dinakdakan, poqui-poqui, igado, dinardaraan and a very unique pinakbet pizza, I travelled into almost another climatic zone!
But by the time I reached the famous Patpat Viaduct in Pagudpud, it seemed like things had calmed a lot!
I met a cool guy called Hassan from Zamboanga who told me to try the royal bibingka - it was so delicious!
Then onwards to Apayao... a change of plans, but something exciting awaits...

One of the best vlogger in the Philippines. There's something always interesting. Good job KD!

[@enricomanglio4450]

I am an ilocano i am very proud that you visited the ilocos region….AGBIAGGGG…

[@sunday20]

Kumander, you're doing a lot of good by bringing more tourist in the islands. Salamat, my friend.

[@aelyr2710]

that pinakbet pizza looks really good and healthy, I need to try it.

[@teresitacampagna4960]

It's always nice to see how you feature food in the Phil. I'm amazed at how traditional filipino dishes are prepared and presented. From north to south you have shown us how the new generation of filipino chefs have served traditional filipino food like gourmet dishes. We enjoy how you describe and critique the various foods at every place you visit. You always find a hidden gem in the remotest areas of the country. This is another awesome trip. Very interesting and wonderful drone shots.

[@marcelahaber1666]

Wow thank you so much Kumander D for passing by in our province ang in liking our sumptuous ilocano dishes

[@aurorasarmiento4694]

Wow KD, I really salute you for continued vlogging amidst the storms, and was able to taste the Ilocano dishes , your were able to share more insight in our cultures and thanks again for appreciating our cultures, your a true Filipino in spirit ..God bless Anselm and take care always.....looking forward for another wonderful vlog.

[@Tonymaal]

Amping kanunay sa byahe Kumander. God bless you

[@arizenzei]

a-pa-yao, so that's how to pronounce it. learned something new today. keep it up, kumander. you might want to invest on those reflective straps that construction workers wear or emergency workers. they're easier to carry than a full reflective vest, and you can wear it over your raincoat or jersey. stop by any hardware store and they might have one for sale.

[@lornaramirez6567]

Take care there is a storm drive safely foods look awesome AMPING KUMANDER D!!!

[@ChimpsAI]

Keep up the exciting touring, Kumander Daot! I am loving the adventures. Safe travels, my friend.

[@wgridermotovlog7568]

Great video, Kumander! I hope our paths will cross on the road someday... Ride safe. 🏍🏍

[@gildelatorreofficial8353]

I hope you could also explore the Batanes islands. I enjoyed watching your vlog.

[@gpaxwarrior8765]

[@PaulRamone356]

Pakbet pizza.. hmmm but with bagoong? Nah... bagoong+bread= hell no, love your content brother! Keep it up!

[@DS31577]

I went in Italy, they got pizza vegetable flavor w anchovies or bagoong. Pareho lng. Similar style.

[@PaulRamone356]

@@DS31577 its a personal preference. Ive tried pizza wirh boquerones, di ko trip..kanya kanya siguro ?

[@dorisdalanon6663]

Take care of yourself Kumander Daut and God bless 💖

[@glennrk8249]

Thanks to @makingithappenvlog and to your Luzon vlogs, i really started to appreciate Luzon in general for a while now. Although, Cebu (and city) will always have my pref. Luzon is a steady runner up….’funny’ thing…I reside in Davao City when i’m here (Phills) for a vacation…

[@roads_up9368]

Alright!😃.. thats the province i've been waiting for you to show to the world💚 for no one does it better than you. Apayao's untouched nature and biodiversity. Hope you can show Calanasan too great kumander😊..

[@grvc44]

I'm so terrified to travel alone. You are so brave kumander Daot.

[@rosefreddacup9309]

Pinakbet pizza??? Sarap niyan siguro.. Sure ko napaka HEALTHY nyan😮😊❤

[@planning-A1945]

[@anthonybusano3830]

Mag ingat ka lagi kumander daot ...

[@BoyPerstaym]

Amping bro!

[@KumanderDaot]

Boy Ulan!

[@oxoelfoxo]

poqui-poqui is one of my top favorite eggplant dishes because of its smokiness

[@williepacquin5107]

Kumander now sounds like a traveling anthropologist educating us about the Aeta tribe migration in the Philippines!

[@richards8718]

Wow you are doing the same route as us but the rain has beaten us at the moment

[@seaweedhero1707]

13:45 Caravan ... Of The Silver Type!

CAGAYAN! Damn You, Autocorrect!

[@ericgaluramotofudventure..5506]

nice kumander daot nice vlogs rs always new subs here!!!

[@ReyvenBergado-tf2sc]

That's why Pagudpud is the windmill capital because of the wind. I'm sure your favorite Ilocano food now is Poque Poque. You can also reach Apayao by passing through the Blazing Mountain of the Gods.

[@nancyfrederick6364]

Its a wow Pizza ,pinoy style lol...

[@jjfonacier]

Yeyy you passed by our place KD. Nice to sample that royal bibingka by the roadside. 👊👊⭐️

[@KumanderDaot]

That royal bibingka was amazing! Wish I'd bought more!

[@jjfonacier]

@@KumanderDaot That’s their specialty in that Barangay Kilkiling. Almost every traveler stop there to buy some.

[@christopherturco197]

I love bibingka! My former fiance's mom (from Ilocos) used to make it and other kakanen, which were all masarap!

[@marjoriecadanilla7546]

Hi KD I usually watched your vlogs in the South,but I will not miss all your vlogs in the North and several Islands you visited,I am an Ilokana.

[@Neal_only1]

My friends are in Manila now, but returning on the 28 th to the area watch Art and Donna Amazing Journey Philippines❤

[@gg_Javier]

Cassava Cake = I don't think the cassava pie will keep but more than a day or two, KD. Not a good pasalubong for Davao family. Better eat it before it goes bad. 🥧

[@SamNacario]

i love the ILOCANO Dinugoan... its crispy

[@SilviaDomanico]

Go to calayan island kumander dapt it’s very beautiful ❤

[@jdive12]

Awesome view indeed, man!

I know you are tired but it has been a long wait for this video.

[@kosasigwalo1895]

you're pretty lucky. imagine if you're up the mountain province in this stormy weather 😨

[@maegelbolingo9880]

Wow❤

[@02traveltv]

Kumander you should have tried Dawangs in Laoag and you should have passed by Blue Lagoon in Pagudpud. Agyaman kami nga Ilocano ❤

[@KumanderDaot]

Dawangs is included in this video 😁 unfortunately the weather was too bad for me to visit anywhere in Pagudpud!

[@user-kwxz9oors93ce]

Daot na 👍👍

[@edr_tv]

[@rubenromero-hh8us]

[@barrygilbert1002]

Daot storm has no match to you Kumander.🤣⛈️

[@johncalder-gx4bf]

50 kph wind gusts? Obviously you were not here during Typhoon Yolanda--wind gusts up to 300 kph. Now that is WIND!!!

[@KumanderDaot]

I experienced Typhoon Odette.... I certainly wouldn't be on a motorbike in it!

[@jhunnaustria6053]

amping kumander👊💪

[@bykekronicles]

if you have extra time, visit raging mountain of the gods

[@ciscosebanes]

Idol ka talaga bro😊

[@florenzryansotelo8552]

I really wonder if Kumander Daot will be able to eat food of the Tribes in the Cordillera Mountains, like what is known as Batang-batang, plus their Burong Isda and Burong Baboy?

[@ymitzcharles8175]

love it KD

[@wall-e9962]

If you pass through tuguegarao try Pancit Batil patung or dine @bumblebean

[@LINOFERNANDO-hm5dw]

Nadadaelen 😂nadaot na😅😅

[@b-lopez394]

Thanks KD for taking me along to places in my country. That pinakbet pizza looks interesting. Italian dish with Filipino twist😀. Just wondering if they use wheat to make the pizza dough.

[@KumanderDaot]

The dough was freshly made... Really good!

Anyone know any vegetarian/vegan restos in the North?? ...not really a meat guy and travel can be a matter of get what yiu can but it would be nice to know 👍

[@DallasCarr-1]

Ref 12:00. What!? Could you say that again Kumander? The wind is absolutely horrible. I can't hear you!... Speak up Sunny, I can't hear you, eh.

[@acquisitium]

It does not happen that much but at 11.26 you made a very weird edit

[@seaweedhero1707]

15:20 Anything Low Carb? #KetoFilipino

[@wintersojourn9356]

It wasn’t star anise, was it? That’s not creamy nor smoky. Nor necessarily ilocano I don’t believe. But whenever I taste it in a Phil prepared ribs dish, it always stumps me a bit …every time! I don’t usually utilize it…

[@KumanderDaot]

Star anise is one of my favourite spices to use in dishes with soy sauce... It just fits for some reason! But I don't think it was this time...

[@azph4105]

kd supports tricycles...

[@ferdsbayas1116]

Dawang Restaurant in iLocos is a personal favorite of our current President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos
