Jollibee is all about their chicken. Going there and not trying their chicken joy is like going to an Italian resto and ordering burgers.

[@JackandGabExplore]

Lol good to know! We will have to keep in mind when we go to the Philippines :)

[@rzzel]

Well it's for breakfast and they don't usually eat rice in morning

[@Kai-cp6ic]

Its not just all about their chicken but also their BURGERSTAKE i love it and since when i was a child i always go to jollibee and eat burgerstake

Finally!!! First vloggers I’ve seen who tried the unripe mango and fermented shrimp paste. I remember that used to be the best and cheapest snack we had when I was a kid. It is quite addicting as you said. Good on ya for trying that.

I started with your Germany vlogs and I‘m working myself up to todays vlogs - and then I‘ll be going backwards to who knows how far....... One thing I‘ve noticed so far is that you more than doubled your subbies from 08/18 to now - that’s just incredible, I hope this will be going on like it in the future. Big hugs from Germany 👍✌️😘🥰🤗

[@ian4569]

Now that you've tried the Philippines version of a fast food chain (Jollibee), I would suggest you try eating at those little side of the road restaurants. That would be most authentic, relatively speaking, and the dishes would be more locally consistent to flavors of the Philippines than that of a "fast food chain" as it already implies. Follow your tastebuds, follow your heart and follow your dreams! Blessings to you both!

[@nickandhelmi]

damn, we really wanna try the jollibee, so much hype on it!! we also recently tried Filipino food for first time and LOVE it. We can't wait for trip to Philippines soon!! great video guys

[@debrawray7463]

Going to Jollibee sounds like going to McDonald's. I'm sorry but I don't think I would want to do it. I would want to get foods that I couldn't get in my country.

[@ieyeshua07]

I appreciate how you put so much effort on making your Philippine vlog. I can see you had your research. It's nice to have your vlogs for middle class tourist. Obviously, you tried all the locals but in all fancier setting which mostly tourist going to the Philippines can afford. Unlike, other vloggers coming to the Philippines who tries so hard to immerse themselves to the local community, this is something fresh for viewers around the world to experience with all convenience some of the local stuff of the Philippines. Keep it up and let us know your group with, for sure viewers like me are always curious with people who you travel with.

Philippines is a meat loving country but if you are going to eat in a resto you can basically request for them to not include meat on your orders, but there are also some vegetarian resto but you have to research for their locations.

Just buy fruits. If u are a vegan, i would recommend Vietnam. Filipinos aren't into veges. 😣

There are veggies here of course :) I speak English fluently. I have dozens of clients from different countries and i also work as a freelance.

[@rzzel]

So we do have vegan foods but not that much because usually we pair our veggies with atleast a little bit of meat like ground meats for texture and taste.I reccomend to try chopsuey(most of the times there's pieces of shrimp/pork)but you can always ask to not put any meat there

[@yenshamay291]

you can search vegetarian/vegan restaurants online. if you cook, buy veggies from grocery stores. veggies in the philippines are so cheap.
