[@FLiPPiNoise]

woah! finally someone who says filipino dish is underrated..coz its true filipino dish is not as big as other food like Thai, Chinese or even Japanese cuisine. Philippines is the melting pot of asia where different food comes and filipino's make their own version and make it a Filipino Dish. Thats why you can see alot of influence from Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, and Spain.

[@TheSuperk25]

FLiPPiNoise even andrew zimmern says that. Filipino food has aesthetic issues though.

[@adiksadiatabs]

goto = looks like vomit, kare kare = color and consistency of diarrhea, balut = don't get me started

Mike, you gotta try going to Pampanga, the culinary capital of the Philippines. There are alot of good places to eat here. For street foods, I recommend the street foods of Baguio City. Their night market is something you shouldn’t miss if you go there.

[@JPinayFoodie]

What are your favorite food spots in Pampanga? The night market in Baguio City sounds awesome!! Is it mostly savory foods or do they also sell desserts and fresh fruit?

[@jacksonnolasco]

Dyan Tongol pampanga is place of lazy and gamblers. They would even chase u until u run out of money. Credit grabbers for being culinary capital and yet their food sucks. Not even a dog would eat it.

[@geofsoriano8067]

Jacqui Alvendia Baguio boy here. The street food during the night market is the same as food you can find anywhere in the Philippines, though probably what you'll find unique are congees and noodle soup coz of the cold weather. Other than that, you can also find cooked viands.

R O A couple, very few though. My Lola used to take me to some when I was young.

[@MrKmoconne]

A very easy recipe to make is Chicken Adobo. This is suppose to be the national dish of the Philippines. The ingredients are ones you should be able to easily find in your local grocery store: 6 x chicken thighs, 1x largeonions, 4 x large potatoes, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, black pepper, water and 2x bay leaf. It's cooked down from a soup to a stew and served over steamed rice. Every grandma in the Philippines has her own version of this dish. This is the one I know. (edit: garlic would also be good in this recipe) In a stew pot, sear the chicken thighs in the bottom of the pot with butter and vegetable oil. Don't try and cook them all the way, you just want to brown both sides and get some brown stuff built up on the bottom of the pot. Remove and set aside. Dice up a large onion into the pot and saute in butter or vegetable oil until soft. Peel potatoes and cut into large pieces. You want to peel them because you want them to soak up all that salt from the soy sauce on all sides. Put the potatoes and chicken in the pot with the onions. Add soy sauce, bay leaf, black pepper, vinegar and stir it all together. Add water until the contents of the pot are barely covered. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. The HEART of this dish is the balance the taste of soy sauce and vinegar. It should have a hearty flavor so you will have to adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste. Just be careful of adding vinegar because a little goes a long way. I've made this with fancy vinegar and I've made it with the vinegar you use to clean out your coffee pot. Some recipes also use a little sugar but I don't. You want to cook it until the potatoes are soft and have soaked in that soy sauce. Maybe an hour or two. You don't want mushy potatoes. My version is a little soupy and I like to serve it over steamed rice. Good luck!

It's a Filipino thing. I live in Oklahoma, USA and I love giving my American neighbors Filipino food and they love the dishes!

[@MrPackers1981]

how was your experience in Gerry's friend? I love their crispy pata.

[@pjcasul]

Gerry's can be found in Makansutra right? I checked their menu and it is limited unlike here in the Philippines.

[@jdv704]

omg i went to gerry's grill also when i was in singapore! hope you enjoyed the food!

[@RonaldTagra]

gerrys grill in Cuppage plaza is the something like a Gerry's Grill in PHL. Except for the price of course.

[@miamore1845]

I tried Gerry's grill at Marina Bay Sand's foodcourt, sadly the taste is not even close to what we have here

[@franciscandiyey]

I hope you try other dishes like caldereta, kinilaw na isda, lechon or lechon kawali or other Filipino food that you can actual have in Carinderia or eateries that costs less than a dollar per serving... And try the Filipino desserts or native snacks like turon! Anyways I love your channel Mike! awesome review!

Filipino dishes are always paired with rice and are typically served family style. That's why some dishes seem "too" flavorful. It's better with rice haha

You are one of the dream of a Filipino Grandma I remember when my lola(grandma) is still alive whenever when i wake up she will cook some pancit and palabok for my breakfast and then after lunch she will cook me some Pork Adobo or Chicken Adobo and my favorite Bulalo... she is always smiling at me because whenever she cooks something i always try my best to finish them...😁😅I miss her...

You get it Mike! Filipino dishes should always be eaten with rice!!

[@xinghuali2842]

I wanna try that tamarind soup with pork and veggies.🤤🤤🤤

[@paulkevinasis72]

you should eat that with steamed rice.. if not you'll just find that too sour.

[@edmondsamson4360]

eat it with beer and make sure u have life insurance

[@downthispath6538]

A mom and pop place near us sells and delivers this dish. You have to order a day ahead though as they receive a huge volume of orders especially during peak season (holidays and graduation month) plus the meat also needs to be marinated overnight. Cost about $8.5 dollars give or take. Always arrives piping hot, meat is always tender and juicy and the skin is always crispy, comes with the a cup of the dipping sauce too. Gdamn I'm salivating just thinking of it.

[@saraswathyperumal1548]

Ikr exactly what I was thinking

[@pablomerar6090]

"This pork is so soft it cries at hallmark commercials" XD

[@RenzXVI]

Most of what you ate are the simpler types of food, almost half of what you got were just fried/grilled stuff. Lol. Get the more unique dishes. Try Bicol Express, Binagoongan, Kare-kare, Igado, Dinuguan, Menudo, Bopis, and Caldereta, but if you really want deep fry, try Lechon Kawali, that's my favorite. Try Achara since it seems like you love pickled veggies, that is our top appetizer. Try our Pancit Canton, Pancit Malabon, Pancit Palabok etc for noodles. I'd like to see you try street food, Balut is the most popular delicacy here but I bet you'd like Adidas (chicken feet) because you enjoyed the pig knucles a lot, but don't forget to try Isaw, and Betamax. Try Taho too, Palitaw, Suman, Turon and Banana Cue for snacks. Because you liked Puto-bumbong, you should try regular puto, Kutsinta, Ensaymada, Leche Flan, Royal Bibingka, Yema, Maja Blanca, Polvoron, and Pastillas. Halo-Halo is mandatory during a sunny day, you'd regret it if you don't try that after a long walk under the sun, also try Buko Salad.

[@klarkmartinez1124]

Mike just take uber and grab. Don't take the taxi in manila. They will rip you off big time

[@klarkmartinez1124]

Even filipinos are being rip off by those taxi drivers in manila. The taxi fair would increase 10folds even if you are a filipino.

[@dcardigan13]

klark martinez - PREACH! That is so true.

[@hinatamercury]

Not always though. There are also times that taking an uber/grab you'll have to pay double than taking the taxi even with additional tip. Like paying 400php when its only 200php in a regular taxi or paying 600+ from NAIA 1 to Valenzuela when it only cost 400php in a taxi at midnight. But yeah, for a foreigner it is much safer to take the uber/grab wherein the price is fixed. Riding regular taxi can be like a Russian Roulette but if you know exactly how much the fare cost and the prices in a particular time of the day, you can choose which one to ride to save money

[@MminaMaclang]

troy duallo show me your ways, senpai

[@troy10troytroy]

Mmina Maclang The ways of the FeastLord is not easy kyodai. Many mistake it for extreme hunger. One should understand that when there is extreme hunger, the sense of taste almost numbs, and higher heights of hunger may lead to one of the FeastLords avoid at all costs, lost of appetite. I encourage you and your fellow kyodai-s to meditate and savour the food presented for you. This way, you can eat more without risking of vomiting. This is one of the easier ways to attain nobility in FeastRealm, but the way of a FeastLord is deep. Many tried, aspired, but most of them failed and wasted the goods, which is unbeffiting of a FeastLord. Train, Meditate and Savor to achieve greater heights of becoming a FeastLord.
