THAT TINY FISH THAT YOU TRIED IS DRIED ANCHOVIE, ITS GOOD WITH GARLIC RICE AFTER DIPPING IN VINEGAR😊

[@peepinR]

I'm glad you're visiting the Philippines. It's got its warts just like any other country but we truly have some of the most beautiful beaches and islands in the world. And in the North mountainous areas that are pretty cool too. It's underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure so its a little rougher to travel to.

[@FranceTaboso-rh1mr]

Im very glad to visit our country Philippines and we are proud our foods they cook

[@lemnikim7388]

Awesome vlog. Really enjoyed your food tour in Cebu. That food at that Cafe Laguna looks really yummy. 👍🏼❤️

[@diosdadocabugao68]

You need to eat that pork adobo with plain rice

[@redhorse69]

That beer company has been brewing beer since the Spanish period. The Kare-kare with shrimp paste should be eaten together with rice.

[@thowphak2886]

As an animal lover ty for giving street dogs some treats.

[@cantonchannel2073]

visit badian canyooneering and south of cebu there is a lot to enjoy there

[@sumakwelvictoria5635]

Tapa is partially air dried and or smoked almost like a ham then marinated. It was ancient traveller's food. It would at least last 3 days without spoiling - more if they dried the meat longer.

[@ThePassportCouple]

Wow, that is fascinating, thanks for sharing 😃🙌

[@henrytecson3059]

Hello guys, welcome to CEBU, the queen city of the south, philippines

[@Kalb666]

2 of us is. So kind ❤

[@xp5247]

In terms of food, the taste will vary with every restaurant or vendors. One tapsilog or sisig doesnt reflect all of the tapsilog and sisig in the country so better try them in every restaurant .🥰 enjoy your stay here.🎉

[@user-si7qj2ow3y]

Bagoong is used sparingly, it's salty. It's to make the kare kare more tasteful because it's a little bland on its own

[@Markev-vk5mm]

Enjoy your stay.... keep safe and enjoy... thanks for appreciating our food and culture

[@GuamPhotographer]

if you're in Cebu, for really great Lechon? Talisay or Carcar... da bomb!!!

[@jasonquinones4901]

The Philippines does the best pork dishes. Adobo... Sisig...Lechon. Regarding the dipping sauce, it is very common in Philippine cuisine to have a vinegar-based (usually sugar cane or coconut vinegar) dipping sauce to go with any roasted or fried dish. It is mainly to cut the fat or oily feel of the dish in the mouth... and also the sour citrusy taste is refreshing in the tropical heat.

[@zackdkwik]

most Filipino food is intended to be eaten with rice, which is why the dishes on their own are seasoned strongly. The rice balance or softens the strong flavors. Tip: if the dish is too salty/sour/sweet/spicy, just add more rice to your spoon to water down the strong flavor.

[@samohtsolacad229]

Last time I counted back in 2018, there were 34 big and small malls within the Metropolitan Cebu City, excluding more smaller malls throughout Cebu province/Island.

[@RickAnsay]

Thanks for visiting cebu 😊😊

[@romeoamigable9395]

Iam a new subcriber of your channel thank you for visiting in philippines and appriciate our different Kind of food have fun and enjoy your vacation

[@ThePassportCouple]

Thank you 🙌🇵🇭💛

[@CindyGanciar]

How so nice to travel travel and lethon so yummy 😋 😋 😋

[@ganciarc.6864]

Enjoy to travel in Philippines and explore more delicacies food in other place in Philippines 😊

[@josealmojuela8694]

Shrimp paste is used to balance the taste. If you put too much much it'll be over powering the other taste.

[@ThePassportCouple]

You are right, it is definitely a delicate balance 🍤

[@layagvlog]

YOU MUST TRY SIOMAI SA TISA. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FOOD IN CEBU.

[@jamesgamboa250]

All main dish of filipino cuisine must eat with rice try it next time

[@MrAnonymous650]

I hope you two don't end up separating when your channel blows up.

[@siegejay6364]

that's just a weird thing to say

[@janebangkok1]

The 1st disgh you compared to cambodian dish looks like Tapsilog. The small dish is Dilis.

[@bassboosted9708]

Next time try to look for these dishes and try it out. beef morcon, embutido, sizzling sisig, sizzling bulalo, beef mechado, pork menudo, beef kaldereta, bulalo, chicken curry, chicken tinola.

[@nelsonlomod9601]

Rico's Lechon is not yet a chain restaurant but it started lechon maker and a lechon stall that sell lechon.

[@KMacFNP]

Now you are making me gutom (hungry). 😋😋

[@ardendavid5515]

the shrimp paste actually acts like salt in kare-kare because the original kare-kare the salt is almost non-existant due to the peanut butter sauce being its major ingredient (not to lose the peanut sauce so to speak)

[@fernandohidalgo6357]

Regarding the Kare kare peanut sauce dish. It’s cooked that it lacks saltiness therefore you need to add the fermented shrimp paste. Not a lot but each spoon full with rice you should add a little to each bite. 😂. You don’t add or mix shrimp paste to a full plate all at once. Just add a spoon full on the side of your dish to add a to each spoonful each time.

[@saritaarcega8559]

Those small fish are 'dried anchovies'..😋👍..and the 'leche flan' is egg and milk custard.😋😋

[@jetd9716]

Looks like you stop at Laguna Cafe at SM mall in Cebu, go there all the time. Food rocks!!

[@cantonchannel2073]

welcome to my home city cebu

[@Raelenebaelene]

There's a lot of variants of sisig. That chewy piece you ate would be cartilage from the pigs ear. Some sisig doesn't add pigs ear or the cartilage part. If you want to try some good sisig, try to go to a restaurant called Manam and try their sisig or a restaurant called Locavore and try their oyster sisig.

[@user-pz6ey1tt9j]

Wow…yummy! And you should use a spoon so you can really feel the taste 😅

[@ernestogutlay2740]

Just enjoy the delicious food recipe here in the Philippines

[@layagvlog]

MANGO FLOAT, HALO-HALO, BUKO PANDAN, UBE ICE CREAM ARE THE TOP LIST OF DESSERT YOU CAN EAT IN THE PHILIPPINES.

[@piacash5216]

Enjoy the Rest of your Travels Guys Merry Christmas Nice Videos 🎁🎄 🌲🙏✌️👍👍👍

[@janchristiansamaniego7190]

Great video. Make sure to order rice for every meal. In the philippines, rice is not a side dish. Its always a part of the main meal. Most times, It doesn't come with the dishes because most eatery in PH are family style dining. But you're ALWAYS expected to order it. Eating adobo, lechon, kare kare, even lumpia or any filipino dish without rice that doesnt have bread or noodles is like eating indian curry without rice or naan. or eating spaghetti sauce without pasta. Its weird and not enjoyable. Even soups are eaten with rice in PH. Rice is life.

[@janchristiansamaniego7190]

Thats also why most of our foods are strongly flavored, because you have the rice to balance it out. And also, try sisig in a better place. Thats horrible sisig. I can tell just by the look of it. it looked like the sisig I ate in my high school cafeteria. Any sisig thats not served on a sizzling plate is bad sisig. Try the sisig in Gerry's grill, its a filipino chain restaurant but its a good starting point. We also have a big 'dipping culture'. We love dipping 'dry' foods in either soy sauce w/ chilli and calamansi, vinegar w/ chilli or fish sauce w/ chilli and calamansi. Enjoy!

[@lloyd2daworld]

This is right on!! Everything should be eaten with RICE. That's the why kare kare with shrimp paste wasnt the best for you guys. Rice is necessary to balance flavors. It's like eating sandwiches and not eating with the bread

[@sakutasu]

Sisig is a Filipino dish made from pork jowl and ears, pork belly, and chicken liver, which is usually seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers

[@ChadandClaire]

Hahaha- we, too, stand firm with always choosing road noise over copyrighted restaurant music 😂😂😂

[@ThePassportCouple]

It's just easier that way 🤣

[@piacash5216]

The Little Fishes that you Eat is ANCHOVY OR ANCHOVIES IS The Healthiest Fish Coz They don’t eat any Scavenger From the Bottom of the Ocean …… You should Eat Them …. ✌️👍👍👍👌

[@pauldela3767]

Tapsilog is my fave filipino breakfast of all time ❤

[@piacash5216]

Yes I like the Bangus and Longanisa Yummy 😋 😊

[@riostudio9969]

Filipino taste palette is alway on the bold side hence there are a lot of dish and condiments here in the Philippines that are on the strong side of flavors like bagoong. Fermented food contributes a lot with filipino culture and i got to admit its really an acquired taste but once your able to figure out how they are actually being used and the dishes they are being use with you will see that it actually make sence. For example the kare kare it really taste good with that peanut sauce its smooth and really blends well with the meat but given the filipino taste a lot of us tasted it as a little on a bland side so we use bagoong add more saltiness and a little more depth to the flavore. also kare kare is usually a fatty dish grease from the meat and the peanuts making some people that unable to finish the dish, by adding bagoong in every other bite helps to cut through the fattynes and keep you eating more.

[@i-am-your-conscience]

12:41 see there, the meat pieces who has this thin white line between them? This is pigs ear.. The ones without that are pigs face.. At least you had a traditional one, a lot of people do it with regular meat now.. But the difference in texture is part of the experienced of the dish :) So that was a plus for the minus that you had no sizzling plate.. Thats also why you got a normal egg, otherwise it would have been just the egg fresh out of the shell that just cooks with the rest heat while mixing it :) And really, after or along a few bears, it is really perfect :) 14:25 Thats true.. Can you guess why? The AC.. :) So it really is the best place to meet up, because some family might not have an AC or saving the money for having the AC run of full power in a full (and often small and badly isolated) house :) Better spend the money on a drink or just sit around.. So it really became the go-to place in the Philippines.. In some countries they are now slowly closing everywhere, I dont think that will happen in the Philippines.. 15:57 it has a long history, back to the spain of course.. because San Miguel you can also get in Spain, but it is a seperate company since very very long ago.. But now also try the Red Horse.. The beer the filipinos drink when they want to get hammered ;)

[@jasonquinones4901]

TAP-SI-LOG = TAPa (beef) SInangag (garlic fried rice) itLOG (egg) ; SILOG meals would be anything served with garlic fried rice and fried egg... LONG-SILOG = longganisa (native filipino sausage) + SILOG; TOCI-LOG = Tocino (Glazed Pork) + SILOG; etc....

[@nzsl368]

i think, it's a chinese culture to eat rice after a dinner as an "afterthought" most southeast asians, eat rice along with the viand of all sorts

[@cocomine8897]

Why you didn't wrapped your leftovers then give it to the street dogs or cats rather than throw it away, the more generous the people the more blessings they'll receive🤔

[@landrodomingo981]

The shrimp paste is not a dish but is used as a condiment or sauce to the dish you are eating with rice. Yes, it is an acquired taste. I use it only on some dishes.

[@nonpareil33]

Most Filipino dishes are best eaten with rice which balances the savory or tangy flavor of the food.

[@rodulfodanlag7263]

Enjoy the moment

[@Arnel_A67]

wow, i would call that a food trip vlog. at least you tried a few of the top best pinoy dishes. if you're still in the south, try chicken inasal from a local eatery not from Mang Inasal restaurant. another dish is Sinigang, either pork, fish or shrimp. and try some bread from the local bakery, like pandesal, pan-de-coco, etc.

[@cymeister5261]

Kuya J > Cafe Laguna Tatangs Lechon > Ricos

[@logik1973]

Rico's lechon is not the number 1 lechon in cebu, it is in carcar market where you can find cebus best lechon

[@HalluCinogen91]

Shouldve gone to Talisay city for the best Lechon/inasal

[@RampartPh]

i think you ate the sisig w/ the kalamansi seeds w/c are as bitter as hell when bitten accidentally

[@mindaconsolacion9587]

That tiny fish is anchovy, that’s what the Italians add in their pizzas,,,

[@junquixote4700]

every filipino food should be eaten with rice.. eveey fried or grilled meat is good with vinegar/soy sauce/kalamansi and hot pepper 🌶️

[@Kalb666]

The poeple love the dog is good heart right? Yeah i know ❤.

[@angelicaacebuche8586]

For the sisig you suppose to put the lemon(calamansi) direct to the pork then mix it not together with a rice xD I imagine the rice taste sour and it is weird xD

[@LosPeregrinosdeCamino]

Those Flipino food are great!

[@WizardJon]

Leche flan is made from egg yolk and condensed milk carameled sugar..

[@jasonquinones4901]

..and the citrus that you tasted is most probably CALAMANSI, a small round native lime, that is also good to have as sa juice (sort of a lemonade) on hot/warm days.

[@AmoiO10]

I think it is lechen plan with calamansi

[@62shearer]

Filipino food is delicious. Try Mindanao delicacies. If you stay only for a few days experimenting not so much. Months, then you have explore the whole islands. " The Pearl of the Orient Seas "

[@stevanartstv1650]

Yummy...

[@markjestonigarcia2003]

that's my favorite here in Philipines i mean the rolled pig

[@Kalb666]

Up for this channel

[@Kalb666]

❤❤❤

[@michaeladriatico1488]

You dip those small dried and fried fish in vinegar.

[@michaelfundales4762]

Try the sisig in pampanga

[@user-xc9ko2mb8n]

Hello passportcouple im new here in your vlog… i am lucky… and im a filipino…. Before you eat a filpino food the first thing u guys must do is to reseach about a dish…ok… u must learn first the culture when u know the culture u will easily firgure it out why the food is like that how they cooked it etc.. and there is a certain food for a certain region.. again learn the culture…. Fyi Almost all of our food has a spanish influence…. Filpino 101

[@carmelitajacinto2896]

new subs here, enjoy❤

[@zztop7000]

Don't worry about the dogs and cats the Philippines have spay and neuter programs thanks to generous of Australia and United States.

[@cantonchannel2073]

[@rexpalma7547]

They are anchovies

[@diosdadocabugao68]

Just a pinch on that shrimp paste

[@MrAnonymous650]

Well, if you like strong beer, SanMig is for you.

[@francomontero7203]

Good

wooowww 🇵🇭 Filipinas 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤

[@ilabmuzic2461]

[@wuschi136]

The sissig what you eat 5here was not right fried😮

[@davidgo1986]

no pickpockets down there? there is an abundant supply of pickpockets in the Philippines so you guys be careful.

[@beegeebad3193]

The calamansi will ruin it. Why you put it on rice?

[@johnpaguirigan32]

Low key taste like crème brûlée

Why do foreigners always add "s" to Jollibee? It's just "JOLLIBEE".

[@dvdhr1]

lechon is cebu's specialty but not sisig ...

[@edgarenova7996]

🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭

[@chessmaster9842]

I am just so sad that my country has a lot of stray dogs.

[@joycei5926]

There are better sisig than that. It should be on a hot plate on its own with egg on top. It was Anthony Bourdain favorite when he went to Philippines.

[@Spy-hp8ki]

Filipino.

[@fredbigornia1814]

It is prounounce "Sibu" not "Sayybu" sorry. "Cebu" has the best Lechon in the World! 😂😅

[@user-si7qj2ow3y]

Sisig should be eaten in good restaurants because there are cheaper versions that are not that good, made mostly of fat

[@pokerbarloahavia]

That Sisig wasn't done right the pieces are too big you should give it another shot in a restaurant that specializes in it like Gerry's grill. It is supposed to be crispy not chewy.

[@jukztv76]

They don't like most of the things I can tell 😂
