The Best Food in Zamboanga (Catch and Cook Snails and Sea Urchin)

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

I feel like Zamboanga is the epitome of the Filipino collective culture. More than Manila and other places in the archipelago. It is a beautiful dance of our hispanic-asian collective identity coupled with islamic influence. It is a mestizo (mixed) culture which is what Filipino culture fundamentally is.

[@Otrebor0707]

Chaka Oof Ka 100% agree. Most other areas in Philippines have practically forgotten the Hispanic heritage. The media is more focused on American influenced contents.

[@emilougirado3397]

True

[@deancafe4739]

Indeed, the most diverse city in the philippines. 8 different tribes and ethnicities living together in one city. You can never find that anywhere else in the philippines.

I love how Erwan blends in with people so naturally. He’s so friendly with everyone. Not a single vlog that I’ve seen him annoyed or unfriendly. He just smile always and it’s so contagious! This vlog is the first thing that made me laugh for today. Timecheck: almost 4AM

[@preciouscanuto9025]

Not skipping any ads as a form of small support for all of your efforts to show how amazing Philippines is especially on your series of visits in Mindanao Island. Thank you so much for showcasing to the netizens how amazing this island is, that despite the prejudices, we are all living happily and contented along with the diversities and simple joys this island and the people bring to us.

[@elainemaygeneston4276]

Far better than any AbsCbn documentaries! Thanks Erwan for showcasing the gems in Mindanao. And yeah, let's break the stigmas!

[@samundoko]

I've said it before and I will say it again, Erwan should have a travel+cooking show on mainstream TV! Loved this feature! Can't wait to travel to Zamboanga, Sulu, Basilan and Tawi Tawi in a few weeks. Truly, Mindanao is beautiful! I want to immerse in their colorful culture, language, food and traditions! Thanks for this Erwan, another top notch vlog! 👌

[@samundoko]

@@iraraccine2056 Thank you so much, Ira! Basilan has so much to offer! There are stunning beaches that I can't wait to see for myself! And I want to get to know the people because it's not fair to generalize Basilan as "dangerous'. I'm sure most people there want to just live their lives in peace. I will document my trip and put it on my blog. 😊🙏
