This is why Filipino Food is the most underrated in South East Asia 🇵🇭

🇵🇭 Malunggai is my new favorite word.

Hi Chris, I am a subscriber from NY. I migrated to the US as a teen ager originally from the Philippines. I just want to enlighten you on some culture and practices of Filipinos. Please do not mistaken silence whenever you ask questions as being rude. And be patient with your dealings with my Countrymen as spoken English and written english is entirely different. Besides the fact that they tend to shy away specially to foreigners(not all but though)Though the medium of teaching in school is in English, there is a lot of Regional differences when it comes to language(dialects as such). I admire the way you try your best to be polite and you try to immerse yourself with the culture not only in the Philippines but to all the Countries you have been to. Good luck to all your travels and keep the culture pf positivity. All the best Sir!

[@samohtsolacad229]

Correct Manong, conversational English to Pinoys is not the same as written or reading where you actually see words and the pace.... In other words, reading and writing involve less " nose bleeding". lol. I dont know who proliferated that belief that the Pi has 80% of English speakers. Perhaps speaking, reading and writing are just lumped all together to make it easier for the stat(s). IMO.

Filipino food is so good i just cant stop thinking about it! I lived in a Filipino village in Hawaii called banana camp every friday my neighbor and his buddies would have big cookouts and cook all kinds of dishes like ten different styles and they would always call me to come help chop meat and help cook luckey for me i really paid attention because i knew i always wanted to eat good filipino food and make it for my family and now i got them stuck on it and we are samoans that eat filipino food three to four times a week! Thank you to my P.I Brothers and Sisters God Bless you always.✌❤🤗

[@splicelifeGR]

just a suggestion in communicating with Filipinos, because I noticed that sometimes when you speak english to them, you tend to do broken english to try to make them understand your questions better.. if it doesnt work and you wont get a proper answer, it means that broken english is confusing. in that case, just drop the broken english and speak in normal structured english, they'll understand better and it wont be as confusing. like when you ask about what is their recommendation of how many food should 1 person take, instead of saying "1 person, how many dish? 1..2..3..?" just say "how many food is enough for 1 person?" or "how many food do you think I need to order?" thanks for appreciating Filipino cuisine. my favorites as well are coconut based dishes, specially crabs, which is in local terms "Ginataang Alimasag or Alimango".

[@splicelifeGR]

@@maylakasngsampungkamay7291 nakadalwang replay ako para magets yung ibig nyang sabihin, yun pala yun hehe..

[@redfullmoon]

What we Filipinos usually say is "one order is good for how many persons?" Which is still much better and more understandable than whatever broken English phrase he was saying. It just felt like he was talking to us like we were stupid with that broken English.

[@splicelifeGR]

@@redfullmoon yes it's common for us to ask "one order is good for how many person?" but I think that is not what he wanted to ask and a totally different meaning. gusto nya lang malaman ilang putahe kadalasan binibili ng isang tao, specially na sya lang naman mag-isa ang kakain.. not the other way around, kung hanggang ilang tao kasya ang isang order which translates to the common question that you pointed po.

[@redfullmoon]

@@splicelifeGR hindi maintindihan tanong nya, one person, 2 or 3. Sa totoo lang nobody knows for sure what he means, ang gulo ng tanong nya, period. Pwede naman sya umorder kahit ilang dishes e, per ulam naman bayad, kaya nga turo turo e. Hirap kasi sa mga gusto ng views lang vlog kagad di nagreresearch. Me nakalagay ba dun na may limit ilan pwede orderin kahit magisa lang sha. Wala naman nakalagay. Sa Jollibee ba tatanungin nya ilan dapat orderin ng isang tao. Kagulo ni kuya. Kita naman nya ung 1 serving, sya lang makakapagsabi ilan kaya nya kainin.

[@jaberryeledegala9413]

Nice to see that you like Filipino Foods. The vegetable is malunggay. The fish in coconut milk that you said is "Pagi" is actually stingray in coconut milk or locally known as Kinunot.

[@spriteythesillyhuskytv9267]

Yes as a Filipina, I agree, it's very rare when a Filipino specially in carinderia who isn't friendly or welcoming. Hence I always choose the friendliest ones when u try to ask them and they explain nicely I always go back to them. It's really uncommon for a tindera or sales staff to be unfriendly. Almost all tindera are friendly but ofc there's always that one who is indifferent which is very rare as I also love eating In karinderia and I always go back for the service more than the food since there's so many carenderias everywhere. The lady in white is friendlier and more cheerful. maybe she is introvert 😅, this is common in other countries but not the Philippines.

[@LuntianMagpakailanman]

The one the tindera mentioned "pagi“, that's a stingray/manta ray in Tagalog. I'm glad you like the "gata" (coconut milk) dishes. I agree regarding being underrated when it comes to food since our dishes don't look appealing on camera, but once you get to taste them, you'd want more of it. That makes all the difference ;)

[@titataman]

Pagi is called Stingray.

[@aidawilson971]

Hi Chris ! I’m glad you like the dish, both Chicken Adobo & Ginataan na Langka or the Unriped green jackfruit with coconut milk . The green vegetable is called Malunggay , which is mostly found in the Philippines. It’s a super foods packed with nutrients. We always add that whenever we cook mostly soups , like the Chicken Tinola or chicken soup. Thank you for trying our food Chris . I Hope you come back Philippines anytime soon . ❤🇵🇭😁

[@Justmuhsox]

Malunggay is Moringa in English.

Malunggay leaves are packed with lots of vitamins & minerals... VERY HEALTHY INDEED!!! It's called MORINGA LEAVES. Aside from being source of food, moringa is now used as supplement and a major component of organic shampoo. It's oil is now also commercially available and is used for therapeitic message.

Glad you chose a Karinderya to eat a meal.. sticking to the local taste 🤙"Pagi" is Stingray in english, the dish is "Ginataang Pagi" (Stingray in Coconut Milk) loving your Ph series..miss my country..watching here from Oman

[@takeshicastle8311]

Malunggay in Philippines (Moringa in other countries) is considered wonder food. It packs a lot of vitamins and minerals. And it has more calcuim than any other milk.

Sting ray in coconut milk with moringga leaves. in Tagalog we called that KINUNOT NA PAGI. There's a a lot of ginger in that dish.

[@Jon-iv6gh]

The tiny green leaves are Moringa leaves or locally known as Malunggay. The leaves are usually cooked in coconut milk along with fish, pork or chicken. The seed pods are also edible. Moringa is taken as herbal supplement in the West. It's rich in calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron and copper. It's got beta-carotene, vitamin A, B, C, D and E.

hello Desi Cris, wow! glad to watch you eating our filipino native food, the first one you mentioned is the fish with coconut milk with Moringga leaves or Malunggay ( tagalog word for it ) , Morringa green leaf vegetable is rich in Vit. C, richer than spinach. God speed to you, kind regards, Simone

[@polgonzales]

⭐️ I’m surprised there was a major language issue there at the carinderia. The dish is called Ginataang Isda with Mallungay. Isda is fish so that particular fish they say was strangely a Pagi. Pagi is a stingray. Malunggay is Moringga to you.

[@polgonzales]

Everytime i go on vacation in the Phils, i always crave for Carenderia dishes even if i can afford easily to dine at fancy resto. Many of them dont serve typical and savory Filipino dishes like Bopis, Jackfruit in coconut sauce, afritada, chicken curry , stewed pork etc .

[@nancysoriano8756]

Chris- the Fish you ate in coco milk is called Pagi- or smaller version of the giant sting ray! It would have been more delicious if the added yellow turmeric with the ginger. Also, I hope my eyes are not mistaken but that meat dish you said chicken really looked more like Paksiw na Pata- or pork hocks in soy sauce vinegar and sugar. Sweet vinegary delish, with bay leaves, black pepper, garlic and dried flowers. Maybe the chicken adobo was beside it on the display and the tinder’s misunderstood you.

[@EugeneTucay]

You had what we call "Ginataang Pagi" or Flaked Stingray(Pagi) cooked with Coconut Milk(Ginataan). and the ingredients are coconut milk, stingray, malunggay(Moringa Oleifera) leaves, ginger, onion, garlic, ground black pepper, green chillies, fish sauce or salt to taste.
