What are some of your favourite eats in Chinatown?

Also along T alonzo there's a bake shop Eng Ho, try the chiffon cake.

[@edmundcasey7765]

try beef hotpots, with lots of tendon, brisket

[@ATC_Radio]

The classic Pancit Canton.

[@lucyintheskywithdi4monds]

jian is the best guide! i dont think there's a guide who is as knowledgable as him, down to the most trivial stuff. he really knows his stuff!

[@PureDetour]

You are 100% correct. There is nobody better than Jian! ❤

[@LillybethLhai]

Can i get the contact number of Jian please? Tnx!

[@dianallamas7135]

Oh man, my bucket list once i get the chance to come back home. I love how Jian got to do voice over on this video. He just is one of the best food tour guides there is. He's knowledgeable, fun, kind and i really like his philosophy of "try it once" What i also like with the fresh lumpia is the filling to wrapper ratio is on point. I also love how creative or "punny" we are as a people. "Magic water" is genius. We love play on words. another awesome video❤❤❤

[@PureDetour]

I can't wait for you to get the opportunity to come home and hang out with Jian!😀

[@celiazalvidea1473]

yes we love to go to binondo we love the foods there we grow their ni manila

[@PureDetour]

I love it too. Other than the traffic trying to get there and back to Mandaluyong😂

Fresh lumpia is genius. Its one of my favorites

[@vainguymarz477]

hi geoff, nice video as always.. when you leave the phillipines, you need to re adjust/adapt your taste buds since you have quite adapted our flavors.. specially making your own dipping sauce, or adding more condiments to your food to enhance the flavor, is such a filipino trait.. more power to your channel..

[@gibberishboner8776]

ang dami mong alam.. manood ka nalang. bida bida masyado

[@PureDetour]

You are correct my friend. But to be honest it's not the first country I have been to that I needed to adjust my taste buds when leaving😀

[@ATC_Radio]

@@gibberishboner8776pare don’t be rude. There is nothing wrong in praising a show especially it promotes our local food! Be nice!

[@EricSon_akuma]

At 24:00, eng bee tin -- those boxes behind you with the pineapple drawing --- did you try them? They're good! Pineapple cake/hopia.

[@oxoelfoxo]

wish they sold those pineapple cakes individually in their kiosks

[@PureDetour]

No Eric, I was super full by the time we filmed that. 😂

That empanada looks magical.

[@nicktomas3821]

Binondo is my go to place for food. 👌👍 Manila china town.

[@PureDetour]

Great food to be found there for sure!❤

[@juris1827]

If my memory serves me right, the reason why Philippines despite being a tropical or humid country has loads of hot soups selling or serving around is because our grandmas used to tell us that since our weather in this country are humid and hot, we tend to perspire or sweat a lot, so loads of water in our body were being released and it's dangerous if we get dehydrated because of that. So that's the reason why it's a staple in every household in the Philippines to have soup served in every meal, so that the water in our body will be replenished.

[@PureDetour]

I have heard this from many Filipinos, Juris, so I would say you are 100% correct❤

[@juris1827]

@@PureDetour thank you! 😁

[@akim2001]

If you could go to ling nam in t alonzo, try the beef wanton noodle

[@PureDetour]

If I have to opportunity I will do just that!😀

[@paengsolo2047]

That's exactly how I eat my Mami noodles. My dad and I used to eat in MA MON LUK in the 1950s one of the oldest noodle haus in the country way back when I was 5, now I'm 62 they still have it in Quezon City

[@PureDetour]

That's awesome. I may have to make a trip up to QC!😀

I think next is a food tour in the korea town of Manila?

[@PureDetour]

Don't put too many ideas in my head!😂

[@richardnuevo]

@@PureDetour another interesting place for foodie buffs within Metro Manila is the greenfield district weekend night market in Ortigas the 2nd biggest business district after Makati. Perhaps you can check out Eastwood City which is the little San Francisco of Manila. It's known for its night life and lots of restaurants

[@PureDetour]

I am staying 5-10 minutes walk from Greenfield. I tried to film there one weekend for the food trucks and the night market but music is way too loud and KZbin will not let me run a video with copyrighted music which I means I would have to voice over the entire video. I have not been to Eastwood yet, but will check it out. Thanks for the tips

[@oxoelfoxo]

was the first stop Globe lumpia? if so, i find it so laden with raw garlic i can't eat it without all the sweet sauce to balance

[@PureDetour]

No, This was at New Po Heng.

[@ronifajardo9391]

Oh my , im starving 😂😂😂

[@PureDetour]

Sorry about that!😂

[@suayhughes8103]

Yummy 🤤

[@PureDetour]

So good, Suay!😀

[@moondustgirl2132]

Haven't done watching yet. But i don't think it's brown sugar that's used to sweeten the fresh Lumpia. It's crushed Chinese peanut bars which you can also eat by itself as a sweet. You can buy it in most Chinese stores. Some supermarkets have it too.

[@PureDetour]

They were super crushed then if that's the case. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that they were crushed peanut bars. Thanks for the heads up😀

[@moondustgirl2132]

@@PureDetour Welcome. We sometimes make fresh Lumpia too at home, though our ingredients aren't as complete as the ones you buy. However, we make sure to buy those peanut bars coz they make all the difference. :)

Where can we find and contact this Binondo tour guide?

his tour links are in the description

[@PureDetour]

Yup, as Elf mentioned I put links to all of his tours in the description of every video he appears in. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with

[@ATC_Radio]

Honestly, Geoff gives a better food review better than Mark Weinz. No protections and overly reacted videos. He reminds me of Anthony Bourdain! I love Mark but now that found Pure Detour, all i wish now is for Geoff to reach the status of Mark Weinz. Good job my friend…

[@PureDetour]

Way too kind, Alan

Do you have the contact info of the tour guide Jian?

Hi Lillybeth, I have left links to Jian's most popular tours in the description of the video.

you went to wai ying without trying the hainanese chicken? omg

[@PureDetour]

No disrespect intended, but I spent 4 months in Malaysia. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY does Hainanese chicken like the Malaysians. Not even in Hong Kong. I have had it here in the Philippines but it does not compare to what can be found in Malaysia

[@artz8929]

Why is it that Filipino street food have most of the undesirable parts of chicken, pork and beef that most Westerner are not used to eat. These include chicken intestines, chicken feet, chicken head, etc. as well as pig and cow blood and innerts. One can only speculate that this has to do with PH’s colonial past. Three hundred thirty three years under Spain and about 50 years under the US have forced most poor and colonized Filipinos to eat the cheapest, if not the wasted parts of chickens, pigs, and cows, while the colonizers ( and the favored and/or rich Filipinos ) dined on the best, expensive and meaty parts of these animals. …….Just an opinion, thought or speculation.

[@philippinefoodtours6237]

Similar to other oppressed people. Take US southern barbeque, the ribs, the brisket, these were the worst parts of the animal and was generally given to the southern blacks slaves. Chitlins or Chiterlins are pig intestines. Sausages were random cuttings of meat mixed with spices and stuffed in intestines.

[@PureDetour]

I can totally understand your where you are coming from but I would question this notion that it is the most "undesirable" part of animal. Most undesirable to who? People tend to be squeamish or put off by things they are unfamiliar with. I would suggest trying it and then making an informed decision. Is it for everybody? Absolutely not, but I I am a westerner and I will take those "undesirable" innards over a tomato every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

[@oxoelfoxo]

could eat chix feet and day old chicks but don't find them enjoyable. give me veg/tofu any day instead of those, haha

[@PureDetour]

😂 That is totally fair, Elf

[@hermandegala9717]

Sir I love your videos but you are butchering the language. Generally, for most of the dialects the accent is on the second syllable of a a word. Please try that out.

[@PureDetour]

Thank you for loving the videos my friend. If it makes you feel any better, I have been butchering languages around the world for years now.

[@chacri08]

Well nobody uses Philippine dialects…Tagalog is a dead language…
