The Best of Zamboanga with Erwan Heussaff

We are in Zamboanga City and Erwan Heussaff is ready to EAT. There is no itinerary for this food crawl and Erwan is out in the streets to try what locals eat in the “City of Flowers” like streetside spicy mi goreng noodles, flavorful “daral” (Filipino dessert crêpe), “Tiulah Itum” (burnt coconut soup), the famous knickerbocker, and many more!
Join us on this gastronomic journey and get ready to get very hungry!
This kicks off our Basilan trip so make sure you check out all the next videos about this still extremely underrated area in the PH.

I like this guy, so humble, and low profile, Anne Curtis is just so lucky to be her husband.

[@francesberrios8250]

Don't you mean Ann Curtis is lucky to be his wife?

[@saripnorhana]

I admire how Erwan and his team use his platform to feature the highly overlooked beauty of Southwestern of PH especially bay area. To more beauty of Mindanao and its people.

[@hijodelrepublicasur1899]

Next visit you should go to Pasonanca. It's like the Maginhawa of Zamboanga. Lots of pockets of food markets to try like Ñor Ubing's in the Zamboanga Bus Terminal. Definitely Chavacano home cooking is a must try too! Estopao, Sopa de Maiz, Chavacano style Dinuguan, and Caldo Pata are some that you commonly find in Chavacano homes or your local carinderias. You won't find these in restaurants as most Chavacano households can cook these dishes very well.

Muchisimas gracias señor Erwan for visiting Zamboanga City again. I miss everything about my home town. The last time i went home there was 2006. Satti & Tiula itum are food that i so missed down there! Again, gracias! Watching from Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@haroldalarcon8856]

This channel’s contents are top-tier. Been a fan since TFKI. 💕 This upload makes me wanna go to Zamboanga!

[@kmdmna]

I must say, I absolutely loved and enjoyed the food in Zamboanga during my first visit! The flavors and variety were truly remarkable. The culinary delights of this city pleasantly surprised and satisfied me. I had the opportunity to explore and indulge in the local cuisine, and it was a fantastic experience 🩵🩵🩵🩵

[@alsharifbinedi9560]

[@namelesspotatoe350]

Satti, pastil (empanada with bihon inside) chicken tamal, chicalang are my favourite Zamboanga foods!!

[@Kat_Noah567]

Love what you did, you know your way around about what's current and updated. Congratulations to your team as well for the research. The continuity of your tales about the city and the neighboring towns is much applauded. Gracias, Featr.

[@MoonaLoona8]

Muchisimas gracias, Erwan and the entire Featr team. I miss my hometown everyday. Everything you mentioned about the sights and sounds especially is so bittersweet. I'm also on the hunt for Tausug food places here in Manila.

[@bingpagente]

OMG the first and last I’ve been in Zamboanga was 1979 when I was in 6th grade. After namatay Papa ko ay di na ako nakabalik 😢 I get jealous of you Erwan but I enjoy watching you at lumulunok din ako. Nakakatakam . Keep traveling and I’m looking forward to watch your videos. Pls be safe🙏🏻🫶🏻🌷

[@eirine7238]

Muchas Gracias for visiting our Beloved Hometown Zamboanga City🧡

[@katrinavillanueva8091]

I grew up in the United States but spent part of my childhood in the Philippines, including in Zamboanga. My lolas' last names include Jamora and Racal. Thank you to Featr and Mr Erwan H for the two Zamboanga featured videos I saw just now. I like the two about Iloilo as well. I got to see another one about Bohol salt. And another about precolonial adobo. Cheers. And God bless. Lots of good stuff here.

[@whoisperfect_no1.381]

Erwan, Thanks for featuring my City....Bienvenidoz!

[@angelaramirez6444]

Amazing content as always! “Biyaki” (so sorry if I butchered the spelling) reminds me of Mexican Corn Sweet Tamales (Tamales de elote) - Steamed corn dough wrapped in corn husk. It’s so cool to see worlds colliding through food.

[@yhangdivine]

It's nice to see that you experience our local foods! Sarap ano!! Ingatz And thank you.

[@lm2cb322]

Mga trycicle drivers talaga sa zamboanga city talagang. Macocorner ka talaga sa mga sagot nila na " depende sayo magkano" As a pasahero I don't know if magkano ang fare. Isa to sa mga dapat iayos ng mga namamahala sa syudad.
