I wouldnt walk that long. I admire your enthusiasm. The fruit is called santol, it's pretty sweet when ripe. I have never hiked St Mary mountain , Didnt know this exist.. i envy you. Buko halo halo is awesome.

You're too kind. Thank you!

That walk and your halo-halo just won my thumb and subs. Especially the walk, wc for me means you trust your surroundings and and the pinoys around you. Always ingat on your adventures, Jacob.

[@EdmundRamirez]

I've never been to Taal lake before. And the halo-halo! 🤤🤤

[@bighand1530]

Neither have I

[@moondustgirl2132]

Now THAT'S HALO-HALO :) And served in a coconut too! 🥥 When the Buko vendor said it's good for the stones, he meant kidney stones. But yeah, coconut juice is like natural Gato-rade. That's why you felt revived while drinking it. The views at St. Mary was great, but the place doesn't look too well-maintained. I guess they were hit hard by the pandemic and recent Taal eruption. It's good that it was overcast. I don't think you would have been able to walk that far if the sun was out. But yeah, i thought the rains finally left you alone Tate. The ending burst my bubble, lol. Btw, thanks for encouraging everyone to visit our humble country :)

[@tatertravels]

Yeah I had no idea what he meant by the stones, I thought maybe the volcanic ash/rock made for very tasty coconuts or something haha. The rain stopped for as long as I needed it to thankfully 😂

[@clarencea2248]

i take my hat to you tater for walking that long, this is why you titled it solo adventure... And for the fruit you ate, it is called santol or cotton friuit in english, it's not poisonous....anyways keep safe brother...

[@dansalas399]

Awesome trekking towards Taal Lake! Enjoyed watching you eat that halo halo!.. Looked amazing brother!

[@jonathanerno8810]

Thr fruit is called Santol. The main part of the fruit there are the seeds which are coated with cotton like sweet juicy stuff that you can suck on. Once you get all of that stuff from the seeds, you have to spit the seeds out. Sometimes depends on the type, some inner part of the skin are sweet enough to eat but some varieties are too sour and bitter to eat. It's perfect to dip with salt.

[@milkbread_rawrr]

I really like your style of videos. Just raw video no fancy editing and stuff. I love it.. keep doing your videos . Enjoy your trip here..

[@lydiaramento-tipon4772]

It is a good thing you have a very positive attitude; that’s why you are enjoying your travel; that was santol; you just eat the pulp if sweet you will enjoy it; they can pare the skin off and you can eat the rind which is often sour; glad you enjoyed the “ buko” you can also enjoy the pulp especially if it is a young coconut; “halo halo ( mix mix in English) is one of the pride of the Philippines; ENJOY!!!

Unique halo halo with coconut. Wow what a masterpiece and it looks so delicious😄

[@marikitliwayway6703]

That fruit is called "santol", the english name is cotton fruit, you can only find that in southeast asia. There's a very unique way of eating it. You peel the outer fruit until the pink pulp is exposed after that you score the pulp lattice wise, that's when you roll the peeled/scored fruit over rock salt. Only then can you eat it. Don't worry about Batangas people, the vendors there are honest and you actually got a good deal only because you would insist on getting a single piece which is a good strategy to try out things. Thank you for helping out my countrymen.

[@tatertravels]

I knew there was something up with that fruit 😂 instructions unclear with that one lol. The vendors there have been very honest, so no worries there 😊

[@bashersbeware]

@@tatertravels no, no.... You ate it like majority of Pinoys do. Those who don't have the patience just take the seed and munch on it till all the flavor's gone. However, some Filipinos are up to the challenge of peeling it, scoring it all over then rolling it on rock salt.

[@darylbincal792]

@10:45, very itchy. Lol. That's @12:15 it's called "santol" fruit bro.

[@littlesparrow1284]

Thats a santol fruit sour a bit.the inner skin of santol can eat also or either make it a santol jam is good

Tate you did the right choice going the other side of the road when that goat stared at you. Those are like the alpha goats in the herd and they're kinda crazy! Back in the day we had a goat like that and they just charge for no reason and that horn feels like a truck hit you lol!

that orange fruit is a santol. its not really commercialized fruit but its very famous to the locals. especially to kids. and you do not eat the seeds. hahahahahaha thanks.

[@maloumanacop6298]

It's Santol fruit you bought on the roadside going down the lake. You did it right. Just spit out the seed. We love Santol. 🙂

[@pdayangco]

That fruit is called "santol" you are supposed to cut off the layer of peel and chew it. Watching you I am salivating. We pair it with salt. He was telling you 50 pesos for 1 kilo, and the 20 pesos each is the bigger ones. ☺

[@pinoyhssf]

SANTOL - the food you thought as poison. It tastes better when dabbed on salt.

You got me here Jacob, that halo-halo looks really yummy. Oh btw i am from TX. Keep safe brother.

[@shanikacariman2871]

The halo2 was the best

[@ArPhiLTV]

there's a secrete on your halo halo you missed ^^

[@rainieresguerra4780]

The fruit is called Santol. The usual way of eatin Santol is to peel off the skin and sprinkling some salt on it before taking a bite at the flesh and the seed. But it's best eaten with vinegar seasoned with salt, ground pepper, chopped chili, onion and garlic. Santol is also used to add sourness to dishes like pork, beef, fish and vegetables. It's also made into sweets, cooked and processed snacks.

[@iflipover]

Santol is a heavy fruit. When he said P50, it’s P50 per kilo. If it’s the big ones like the Bangkok santol, only 2 or 3 pieces would already be a kilo that’s why he priced it at P20. I would have priced it at P25 or P30 because you’re breaking the bunch/grouping hehe. I think he didn’t have a scale with him. At home, I pickle them with salt and sugar and water for a week (after peeling the outside part but still keeping part of the cover flesh). Or I make them into santol juice.

[@tatertravels]

Ahhhh that makes more sense. I thought he wanted 50 pesos for all of the fruit 😂
