these vloggers (mile & nelly) are not pure food vloggers....

[@jesseseva2219]

@@edwinclores5463 but the quality of their food blogs though...

[@Spratlyk9]

@@edwinclores5463 It doesn't matter. What you see is what you get! They are sharing their raw and unadulterated opinion about the food they taste. And that's exactly what a non-food expert like me and million others would want to hear! Sometimes expert opinions of world re-known chefs seems hard to understand for the ordinary pinoys like me. But with Mike and Nelly who are not "pure food vloggers", it's easier to identify and relate to their experience. Thank you guys for sharing!

[@Reivann]

Thank you for vlogging small local indie restaurants in Manila! Many of them are really good but they are not given enough publicity. I'm living in QC for more than 10 years now and you suddenly made me excited of trying these new places that I myself don't know about! :D You guys play a big role in boosting the Filipino morale :) Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Funny how Mike is very detailed when he describes the food and Nelly is like mmmhhh, wooow, yeaahhh. 😂😂😂

Awesome vlog!!! and You're inside Cubao X! Cool hip place, artist's ground 👍👍👍 the Buro is our native version to the kimchi👍 soooo good! 💕 and Nelly, you should visit The Farmer's Garden,plantita haven💚 just on the opposite side of where you are/were✌️within the Araneta City, keep safe guys👍

I'd be the same way. Haha. I'm not good at describing food. I just know if it's good or if it's bad.

Grettings from Japan. It's so cold here. Miss the warm Christmas in the philippines 🇯🇵🇵🇭

[@aydapadistudio]

You've discovered the hipster side of QC. That whole alley is called "Cubao X" where all the really cool kids used to hang out at, pre-pandemic. There are a couple of art galleries there, a thrift shop, vintage records and furniture store, among others. You'd also typically see skateboarders hanging out there. There used to be bands and DJs playing there and there would be huge street parties before covid 🙂

[@junji2515]

For sure a lot of people would now like to try out that place. Thanks to this vlog.

[@MakingithappenVlog]

Hopefully

[@yeayeachats3843]

Mike and Nelly have the best content when it comes to ForePinoys doing exposition and discovering/trying authentic Filipino dishes/food. They are never scared or might have explored more than what I ever did in my lifetime when I was there. I am ready to do it too because now I have the budget for those too 😂 Their love for anything with lechon at any region is untouchable & unlike any other and their evolving & increasing knowledge on when it comes to Filipino dishes, eating adobo, sinigang etc in different regions will be an exhilarating experience each time as it will unique and yet so familiar in taste each time.

[@Otinihc29]

Hello Nelly and I (i mean Mike, just joking 😅) Kidding aside, I really appreciate your work in all your videos.. we knew how bad 2020 is - COVID, Earthquakes, Super Typhoons, Volcanic eruption, etc.. but you guys made good things happen, for real! Your Filipino contents, made us feel warm and well appreciated. 🤗 virtual hugs

Side note. The place were the resto was located The Cubao Expo was formerly a shoe expo of Philippine made shoes as Philippines made were world class as it basicalt world class that even famous Italian shoes were made in Marikina formerly the shoe capital of the Philippines. The vintage store accros is must visit too. Neway on the area there's an Italian Rest owned by an Italian maybe you could try their pizza.

OMG, this vlog in particular made my mouth water! Haven't had the "buro" (shrimp paste) in a long while. It's an acquired taste and you guys naturally acquired the taste. Are you sure you don't have Filipino DNA somewhere in your genes? The waiter was very friendly! Awesome video today, guys! Watching with love from Taipei, Taiwan.

[@bashersbeware]

That's a new twist to pair buro with lechon. Usually it's crispy fried tilapia and the leaf is mustard leaf. You put a piece of fish on the mustard leaf, half a tsp of buro and then a tsp of rice, roll it then eat in one bite. So heavenly.

[@getgolay]

Great video, the food was well presented and I can feel how it taste the way I look at it and from Mike's reaction.

I love the presentation of every dish you've ordered.👌 👌 👍 👍

Peace and good health!!,

First got to try this liempo version in Denlim's Kitchen all the way in San Fernando Pampanga (which is a must-try by the way, as well as Bale Dutung). They used lettuce and young bittergourd as the greens tho and bittergourd (ampalaya) is something i usually hate but it was wonderful! But since Pampanga is far, I'm glad a resto in the Metro is offering this take and is now more accessible. Yay!
