[@TheOfalltrades]

I’m from Oakland, and there’s so many Filipino restaurants around here. FOB Kitchen is the restaurant you mentioned in your video, the Señor Sisig restaurant (with their food truck that pops up around the Bay), The Lumpia Company for sure, Tipunan, and the last one I’ll mention is on a sad note - Lucky Three Seven was a local favorite of mine, but the co-owner was unfortunately killed in front of the store recently. Really devastating to the community here :(

The Señor Sisig is overrated. Wouldn’t even try going back for it. Just my opinion.

[@flipgalrn]

A few of my favorite Filipino Restaurants in the Bay…in Daly City it would be House of Silvanas, Taste Buds, Ongpin, Patio Filipino, Chibog, The lumpia company (Oakland), Toppings Too (Union City). Hope you get to check these out Will!

I love the narration. Felt like i am watching a tv produced show. Not to mention i learned a lot virtually. This will be like a must go if given a chance that I’ll be traveling there one day. And I don’t know if it was all you but kudos to the cameraman, editor, and the writer.

[@bashersbeware]

You need to do more of this Will. Seriously.

[@kimfernandezrigos8648]

the real WIL DASOVICH is BACK!!!

[@Exaris79]

In Cebu's Plantation Bay resort, they had a Kare Kare Maki Roll. It would have strips of beef, eggplants&long green beans inside it or just the vegetables&banana flowers for vegetarians. It's easy to make them or i just use the left overs of Kare Kare. You could probably Chicken Adobo Maki Rolls too.

[@dexterechiverri6631]

Omg! I live in LA. I’ve never heard of Sampa, but I’m so going. Everything in this presentation looks so delicious. Salamat!

Such a gentleman Kuya Will, felt kilig when I notice how you simply put back the pillow on Ate Carla's lap.

Obviously your mother love Carla for you ❤️

[@d1shaidiva]

Can’t wait for your Filipino Food edition in the San Francisco Bay Area. Also try Prubechu at the mission District in San Francisco if you get a chance in the future. It’s Guam 🇬🇺 fusion cuisine. One and only in the Bay Area.

[@Scout555]

The Michelin criterias are: 1. Quality of products 2. Mastery of flavour and cooking techniques 3. The personality of the chef represented in the dining experience 4. Harmony of flavors 5. Consistency between inspectors’ visits The restaurants are not judged by decor and the food served can be fusion or authentic. There’s a French cuisine bias and that is why the most Mchelin starred restaurants are in France. The highest rated Michelin restaurant in the world is Le Bernardin In NYC.

[@bingsvios9145]

I do sometimes watch your video and never sub..but because of you two with Carla I sub so I can comment.I think you too are good match..Specially you both look each other.And I am super kilig Carla very sweet to Will..wish may something.Sorry I am new here haha.

[@bryancalma1801]

The tocino is red and burnt coz of salitre, sugar and other preservatives which are usually not allowed in the us :) hence what you ate was a americanized version...plus the hispanics have a different tocino!

[@otakumanga5677]

Salitre has long been removed from making tocino here in the Philippines. Its mostly sugar/caramel now.

[@bryancalma1801]

@@otakumanga5677 some traditional makers still use it or use curing salts :)

[@Natttttttttyy]

i think you meant Michelin guide restaurant in oakland which is FOB kitchen. You should also try Abaca it's this new fil-california restaurant by fisherman's wharf and super good too. The chef used to just do special events or kind of seated limited events, they made this avocado toast with tinapa once and literally blew my mind. Lucky Three Seven in oakland has this bomb wings that's a must try.

Where's ERWAN's comment??!! Is it down there somewhere?? lol This looks great Wil!! More of these, I didn't know LA had the second largest Filipino population to Manila, Philippines. It's like how here in Chicago, we have the second largest Polish population second to Warsaw, Poland!

So happy to see will surrounded by women in his life and not gamer girls that can never grow up good for you will

[@christopherturco197]

All the food looked so amazing! That alone would be reason to go to LA. But, Wil, you gotta stop going on about Madz not looking Filipino. Maybe she doesn't look typically Filipina, but she does have something uniquely Filipina in her look. Let's face it, she's mistisa! Mas ganda!

[@evancortez2]

LA is an extension of Manila pretty much, same infrastructure, same weather, same people - flying to LA from Manila is pretty much just sitting in a plane for 15 hours and ending up in the same place LOL

Beautiful vlog Wil thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰

[@surfinglabgeek2132]

Traditional Filipino food might not be included in the Michelin rating, but it’s fresh and tastes best cooked traditionally, especially in the provinces. None of the 50 states can beat even the sources of ingredients! For example, you will never find the sweetest and tastiest Coconut (even bigger than the size of a man’s head) unless you live in Mindoro! I have lived in Hawaii, NYC, and Florida for many decades and been to many states and even countries. I just cannot make Filipino food the way the natives do with all the missing ingredients. Who even makes ginisang (light-fried with garlic, onions, tomatoes) ubod (heart of palm/young coconut) here in the states unless they use CANNED ingredients! In Mindoro, they will cut a young coconut tree just to serve this tasty dish and our fridge will be packed with fresh ubod all week. You can roll the ginisang ubod inside a lumpia wrap and deep fry or eat it naked on a bed of rice. You can even eat it fresh/uncooked! I miss fresh Filipino food from Mindoro!!! The coconut tree/fruit is used and eaten in many ways.

[@averageloobs9597]

[@marrimar4624]

so true and I doubt if the one judging for the Michelin rating really get what filipino food tastes like. Best filipino foods taste the best in the Philippines period!

[@johnanimex.1334]

Never saw anything Filipino on the 1st Resto,no disrespect maybe they are really good food but I don't think it's Filipino.

[@hymnmccoll4215]

TJs Filipino Cuisine in Houston will change your mind. You can finally say I found the one.

Real talk Wil. How was Sampa and the The Parks Finest BBQ? I'm off to L.A. next week and I cannot pick between the two! My sked is swamped abd I can go to 1 resto.

[@ashlyvelasco9689]

I always enjoy watching your videos!

[@mjm7165]

You missed out on the best spot in all of SoCal = CHAASTE FAMILY MARKET in Pasadena; a family owned spot since day one and the lola still cooks. As soon as you walk in, you'll feel transported to a Filipino Living Room during Christmas Dinner. John Eric is dope and Filipino food bleeds from his veins. HiFi is good too. Everyone else mentioned....at best gram worthy. One of the chefs worked at a tourist trap in Beverly Hills and dances better than cooks.

[@mariaeisma5040]

You rock as always. I have to see your vlog about the best Filipino restaurant in the Bay Area.

[@cherster29]

There’s one in Chicago called Kasama, they earned their first star this year.

[@francisgarcia375]

Will you should go to green banana leaf in Cerritos they are kapampangan cook and their seafood plate is the best.

[@janicearcenas8639]

Wil you should vlog the LA Filipino Festival ❤️

[@pusheenpot]

YA'LL SAW HIS GESTURE AT 9:41 hahahahaha sweetttttt!!!!

[@theresagloriani7095]

You should go to Gerry's Grill in Cerritos, CA. They have very good Filipino food. My family, my daughters in particular, who were born and raised in the US, do not like "fusion" Filipino food. They realize that Filipino food is a mix of multiple cuisine influences, but there is nothing like authentic Kare Kare, with beef, tripe, and bagoong over rice. They also love sinigang, the more sour, the better, with patis, again, over rice. We went to Spoon and Pork before and were equally unimpressed. It is hard to find a sit down Filipino restaurant which serves food just like back home. There used to be Barrio Fiesta but I think they have closed. I also remember Max's Restaurant, I think, also closed now.

[@madoka.higuchi]

im planning to visit los angles this december i hope you can make more vlogs there where is the best place to go

[@boom9968]

Filipinos are really critical with fusions. “I can do better” mindset.

Hello, just a correction, the Spoon and Pork is not a Michelin star rated restaurant, it’s just part of the Michelin guide. There’s a difference between Michelin rated (stars) and being part of the Michelin guide 😊

Ang Ganda ni Carla

[@Dntmindwhtshere]

@4:02 I know this is a fusion dish but I just want to share, Just a fun fact, the Philippines has their own version of tamales. But instead of having corn as a base and wrapped in corn husk, it have rice and wrapped in banana leaves. It's not the same suman, as it is savory and it has meat in it.
