i love this video. no BS baiting. just honest food review. Been wantung to try Zark's Burgers for quite some time now. You've convinced me to put it on my priority bucket list
Now this is something new. I'm kinda tired of seeing Jollibee reviews all the time, so this is a breathe of fresh air. And the food on the restaurants you showed looks awesome as well (I think some of them are better than Jollibee tbh). Great vid, deffo looking forward to try these fastfood chains especially Zark's and Yellow Cab.
As a former manager at Mang Inasal. That yellow sauce is called "chicken oil", to enjoy it better, mix rice with chicken oil and soy sauce together. You'll be able to enjoy the taste better plus the aroma. With your chicken, go with soy sauce and calamansi on a separate dish for that distinct flavor in between rice and chicken. Yum! 😁
Hello guys. Thank you for making an effort to feature other fast food chains that is not Jollibee. May i suggest that when you try to eat Halo-Halo, please mix all the ingredients first before getting a spoonful. Halo-Halo literally means "mix-mix". It will really make a huge difference the way it will taste and how you'll enjoy it. We Filipinos eat mostly with condiments on the side. So for basic anything BBQ we dip it in a mix of soy sauce, kalamansi, and chillies/chilli oil if you like it spicy. Some may even add a dash of vinegar to the three mentioned above. If you're at a loss on how to properly eat or enjoy the food, you can ask a local sitting on the table next to you or your server or anyone. We're all willing to help. Keep healthy and stay safe.
You may absolutely suggest, we need to learn as much as we can. We did mix it all up after we ate it down a bit, that just doesn't show on up camera. There was no way to mix it in the vessel it came in. Are we supposed to ask for an additional one to be able to mix it all up?
@@PureDetour hi there. Sure you can ask for an empty container to mix it all up. It will take a bit of patience and extra care to mix it but you can start to break the ice around the edges. You can also try plunging the spoon and mix/move the contents at the bottom till it's mushy and work your way up.
People don't have to mix it before they eat if they don't want to. I prefer to eat mine by eating the ice cream first then mixing it. Filipinos don't all do it the same way
Just a side note about ownership. Panda Express in PH, Chow King, Mang Insal and several other chains, as you mentioned, are owned by JFC (Jolibee). The don't own Goldilocks but have their own baker products chain called Red Ribbon.

My favorite there used to be the braised beef when it was still on the menu and the beef noodles. They also used to have a Chinese style roast chicken that was replaced with fried chicken when JFC acquired them. Even Red Ribbon quality isn't as good, they used to have the best palabok out of all the fastfood chains. Another favorite chain growing up was Tapa King, although as a practice people generally like their local open air tapsilog eatery. You should try local chain coffee shops too like Bo's Coffee.

@@PureDetour I like Yellow Cab and Army Navy. Goldilocks has been the go to place for cakes and pastries since I was a kid. There was one pizza place not featured that I like a lot it's called Angel's Pizza their Creamy Spinach pizza is a must try.
Burgers - If you can, look for Sweet Ecstasy Burgers - IMO and a lot of foreigner friends swear it is by far one of if not the best burger they have ever had. It was ranked in the top 50 burgers in Asia. There are only a few branches so far. Halohalo - for a local, my fave is still Little Quiapo's version - authentic, creamy, real ube ice cream and leche flan. Pancit or Noodles - Little Quiapo also makes the tastiest bihon (rice noodles), sotanghon (vermicelli/glass noodles), canton in the city, IMO.
Sweet Ecstasy Burger is basically the best burger in the entire damn country but with not many branches so still a bit of a hidden gem. When I got back to Manila after a few years away I was crossing my fingers that they made it through covid and headed down to my usual branch on Jupiter St in Makati and sure enough they are still there. (happy dance time) Definitely not the cheapest but the double (which is what I usually get ) is a meal in itself and I don't even order a side because it's so filling and juicy and pretty damn near much the perfect burger. 8 cuts gets an honourable mention but nothing beats Sweet Ecstasy Burger.
I highly recommend you try café Laguna. Not a single food item was bad when we ate there. They have the best pork barbecue 🍡 I can no longer stand sidewalk barbecues after tasting theirs 😂
@13:00 For halo-halo, which is would mean mix-mix in English, you actually need to mix that glass using your spoon. It's kinda hard to explain how to do the mixing process, but basically you stab the shaved ice repeatedly while making sure you don't make too much mess and keeping the toppings from falling off as well. The recommended way is to start stabbing on the one edge of the glass then repeatedly stab the shaved ice at the bottom of the glass. What you want to do see is the shaved ice almost turning into liquid, which in turn also creates space for more shaved ice to be stabbed again. Every "stab" you do from the top, you want to hit the toppings so that it would be included into the mixture. Repeat this ice murder until every shaved ice has turned into liquid. Then enjoy your hard work afterwards.
i really love your editing and presentation style guys !! I miss the Philippines.. as a Filipino American living in California... I havent been home in 30 years ! I watch these videos to get a taste of home.. literally.. lol keep up the great job. Subbed !
RE: Goldilocks Goldilocks used to have a contender called Red Ribbon that started in the early 80's. Red Ribbon had a superb cake and pie selection (peach walnut pie with a crunchy chewy meringue based pie crust -- to die for), and they also served nice meals. There was a time when I really thought that Red Ribbon would kill Goldilocks. In the mid-2000's, Jollibee bought Red Ribbon. Then they greatly simplified the menu by getting rid of all the meals. They also reduced the selection of cakes to just the bare minimum usual suspects (e.g. chocolate log, sponge, etc.) They also got rid of the peach walnut pie. Really sad.
I mean think of it from a business perspective from JFC's POV. Karamihan sa mga inacquire nilang mga companies tended to have varying flavors from branch to branch, and some may have had profits but not enough to say they are growing as a company. They streamlined everything, they made sure na "fast food" became fast food, and desert shops became "desert shops". If you want proof of this, the amount of locations now compared to before they were acquired by JFC is testament to their growth that JFC's business expertise have brought. Yes, it's sad that so many of what they acquired lost their "personalities" or "souls", but they got business growth as an exchange.
As Nestor mentioned, it is a business model that JFC chose, so I guess you can't argue with their success. On the other hand I totally get where you're coming from
@ Eric Son, Nothing wrong with that. We tried to film at Red ribbon for this video and both locations we showed up at didn't even exist. So Goldilocks for the win in this video.😂
I tried all of these (loved Pancake) but man, Zarks is just something else in my opinion, especially their burgers (probably the closest I can taste of an "American-sized burger" and would rival in quality) and it's one of my top fast food chains. Quite underrated as well but they are growing faster than expected for such a relatively young fast food business.
You featured most of my go to fast food chains (I've outgrown Jollibee at this point lol, not my brothers & little nieces though) 1. Pancake House (pancakes!, beef tapa, fiesta taco salad) 2. Army Navy 3. Chowking (siopao, buchi, wanton soup, sweet & sour, chowfan) 4. Goldilocks (Dulce de leche cake, mamon, polvoron, pork barbeque, etc.) 5. Mang Inasal (must try Palabok, Halo halo) Tips: halo halo dessert must be mixed thoroughly before eating hence the word "halo" Other rec places: 1. Banapple (the best beef tapa ever!) 2. Kenny Roger's 3. Goto Tendon 4. Turk's 5. Mary Grace Cafe 6. Nono's 7. Katherine's Cafe Also try bulalo, sisig, mami, kare-kare, lechon cebu...I'm getting hungry 😂
I dumped it all over the rice and I like heat so I cut the chilis up and dumped that on the rice too. No idea if that was the right way, but I enjoyed it. 😂 Thanks for watching
Some of these fast food chains in the Philippines are actually found in the western part of the United States Carson & San Diego, California. These areas have huge Filipino populations. Canada, possibly Vancouver
First of all, ur using forks. And what is BREAKFAST, it's food, it's a meal. It's the time of day. Not what the food is. Filipino breakfasts are left overs with eggs, hahaaha. The rest of the show was awesome. First timer here
@@honestreviewer3615, Hahaha, I thought that was what she said, and started to watch the video again to try and catch it. Your reply saved me from having to watch myself on video yet again. 🤣
My favorite chains in the Philippines has to be nearly eclipsed by Jollibee because of their heart and character and success including here in the United States.
I hope you guys travel to various parts of the country and taste the regional cuisines there. Can't miss dishes for me: Lechon, Bulalo, Champarado, Longganiza , Beef Caldareta and Crispy Pata. Also try the rotisserie chicken. It's so much better than what i get here in the US.
@Ricky Marasigan, some of these dishes will show up in future Manila videos (We are a couple of weeks behind real time with the videos) and FYI, I am currently in another part of the country.Thank you for taking the time to watch
@@PureDetour If you guys are touring around the country, I recommend: 1) Baguio city. "Oh My Gulay" is a vegetarian place. Get the vege-meat sliders, Walastik bistek and pasta. It looks like a big funky greenhouse inside. "Canto" for the fried-then-grilled lomo ribs and beef pochero. "Good Taste" is classic Chinese food but go on off-peak hours or else you'll get trapped among the mealtime crowds there lol. "Chocolate de Batirol" for heavy snacks like champorado (chocolate rice porridge), palabok, turon, bibingka and their hot cocoa done old-school in a garden set-up.
@@jportega9404, Is that where you are currently located? If so, send me a private message on facebook, Instagram or on my website. If I make it that way, I would love to get in touch at that time.
@@PureDetour It really is good. I used to eat there when I was working in Manila and it just made my day because it's a good food. I am glad you guys tried other restaurants for a change and I never really liked Army Navy's burger but maybe I'd order what you ordered next time I happen to come by an Army Navy.
I like the niche you've chosen, food. Fave kind of vlog of filipinos. Also am happy that you covered army navy, pancake house and yellow cab. They're not getting much air time but these franchises can really compete with the best in the US. Chowking really is comparable to panda express but better, in my opinion. Panda Express just started recently, about a year, and I didn't really like it. Too oily and a bit flavorless. Zark's, I think, need to improve their flavor. Something in their meat that I don't like. Their menu is really attractive but the taste of the food is a bit off. They're cheaper than burger king though.
Thanks for watching and the great comment. Panda Express has been around in since i was a kid in the US(and I am old af), and it has always been garbage. In fairness to PE, it was my introduction to Chinese food. I would later learn that it was horrible Chinese food but my introduction to it all the same. No clue if the Philippines version and the US are one and the same but I do think Chow King is better
Almost always messing up how to eat halo halo. I cringed when the chili was mixed with the rice much more when it was used with the siopao maybe I should try that. Tip put toyomansi with the chili and dip the siomai it will taste better because it can be bland on its own
next time you go to Mang Inasal, mix soy sauce, calamansi and a little bit of vinegar then crush some chilies in there as your dipping sauce, then pour some good amount of chicken oil in your rice and the sauce you've made.. that will bring you to the next level, also for me Mang Inasal's Halo Halo is much better than ChowKing's and don't forget to mix your Halo halo just like everybody says Halo Halo literally means Mix Mix so you'll never forget how it's eaten, but it actually means "mixture of ingredients"
I've had Mang Inasal halo halo and if i'm being honest I like Chowking better. Your other tips are taken to heart and if I film Mang Inasal again I am doing exactly as you suggest and giving a shout out to you
As someone who grew up in the 80s-90s, pancake house's menu was way different to the current and was better. They did change the menu when the brand was sold to Max's group of companies (the fried chicken house), this umbrella company also owns Yellow Cab, Max's, and locally owns Jamba Juice and Krispy Kreme, among others. If you head to BGC, they have a spot there where all the brands under the company operate.
Just came across your vlog. Happy to see you guys exploring the food experience in the Philippines. When we used to live there, we enjoyed Mang Inasal, Chow King, Red Ribbon, Amber Restsurant for their pancit malabon and pichi pichi. For quick take out, I remember my inlaws love to order chicken from Chooks to go. The tocino breakfast meal you ate can come in different variations like instead of tocino, it will be tapa (beef) or bangus ( milkfish) and will be served with sunny side up egg, garlic rice and with pickled papaya side dish (achara). Halo-Halo means literally mix-mix so you have to mix the halo halo. Though I must admit, I cheat, normally eat the flan or icecream topping, then I mix the rest. 🥰 Pancit comes in different variations, different types of noodles, so the taste varies too. If sold on a fastfood chain expect ingredients not to be complete. But if truly home cooked or on a real sit down restaurant, the pancit will have more ingredients to it Goldilocks and Red Ribbon are popular, usually where we will buy cakes and pastries like ensaymada, mamon etc. Try to find Gerry's Grill, they serve yummy sizzling plate food. Actually to really get the feel of fast food, just go around at the food court inside the malls, usually at the ground floor of the mall, there will be a food court. That is the fastest way to have your fast food. Yes, Mang Inasal does have the unli- rice offer. Personally, I do not like people doing it out of sheer gluttony. Feels like wasting food. Better just eat what one can consume properly.
@Paul Tess Arevalo Wow, so many great tips...thank you so much! Check out our upcoming videos we have tried some of the things you mentioned. And yes, we thought about doing the unli rice at Mang Inasal, but it just seemed unnecessary to try to force yourself to eat so much!
damn i really like you two's style. theres a realness that i get from you like you're not faking it but youre also definitely not being too harsh about it too
We try. The only thing we refuse to do is outright slam an establishment. If we don't like the food, we just don't put them on camera. This happens a lot more often than some might think. But I thank you for watching.
My go to burgers in zarks are mamba, 3 pointer and jaw breaker... those are really tasty burgers kinda on the heavy side thou. They also have several side sauce that you can use in the burger.
Try some best local restaurant delicacies in Ayala Makati or in Bonifacio Global City (Uptown Mall, Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio High Street South) soon :)
It's interesting that Zark's is here... Maybe it's just a weird thing for me because I am still remembering the time Zark's was just a hole in the wall in the wall. Back then Commie (Zarks himself) said he didnt plan on making any other branches cuz it might lose quality. but i think he found a way to keep the quality. (Main branch in Taft Ave. still the best, I've heard) Tombstone Fridays!!
Fun Fact: Pancake House and Yellow Cab have the same Company called Max's Group. If you're from United States, They're the one's who franchised Krispy Kreme.
We had researched before arriving where to try and a Filipino blogger recommended most of these. Had never heard of Andocks and had Bonchon in Thailand and it was horrible. We tried to do Red Ribbon instead of Goldilocks, but we showed uop at two locations that google maps said was there and open and it turns out they didn't even exist. We later saw one after completing the filming for this episode
@@PureDetouryou don have to reply to these a*holes. Don't mind 'em. Internet is full of trolls. Just do you thing and keep learning. I just subscribed, btw.
Oh... we have this party game that involves polvoron. The game goes like this: First, the participants would put a whole polvoron. Then the first contestant who can WHISTLE a tune is the winner. :) I don't think you can play this game with Goldilock's polvoron though. They're too big. YOu'll need to halve them.
that's not how you eat Halo-Halo ma'am and sir.... HALO in english means mix.. you mix all of them together with the ice shavings underneath and milk and then you eat them..
"Chef Boyardee with more flavor" Yeah, I'd say that's accurate. Never was a fan of Pancake House. BTW, you missed a fast food chain that you might be interested in: Tropical Hut. It's on the lower end of the spectrum, but it's well-loved. It's also our oldest, AFAIK. I get the feeling you might not enjoy it, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
New subscriber here 🙋♀️ like this kind of vlog content, really enjoyed watching your videos in the philippines. I miss my home 😍 hope you guys enjoyed it there too! Godbless and take care. Chowking is one of my favorite restaurant there ❤❤❤
I'm shocked to see you using the spoon and fork the SEA way. Anyway you deserve a subscription, I like this video of yours, and maybe I'll watch others.
We are lucky to have Jollibee/Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, and Chow King all over the San Francisco bay area. I only tried Jollibee, from this list, when I visited the Philippines. Much preferred to experience the local cuisines prepared by the locals, as each province has it's own style, and stayed away from all the touristy traps for the most part.
I'm not big on fast food in general, but this one was fun to try all of the different brands here. As to trying out the different province foods, stay tuned. I am finishing up a stay in Cebu at the moment and moving on to Bacolod next. Videos of Cebu start on Saturday
My go to fast food is chowking. I'm a bit disappointed with Jollibee with their lack of innovative meals. not a fan of burger steak. I used to eat their spag more frequently however I developed gluten intolerance since 2020.
Hi, I am in Cebu right now. Are you here? As to the eating, we have made a lot of videos and I assure you NOBODY wants to watch eat every single bite of every single meal we eat. You may be the first out of thousands of comments on our channel😂
Although not a fast food, I’d like to see you try Mister Kabab at west avenue, quezon city. Also, I have another recommendation for you (not a fast food also) which is located at Macapagal Boulevard, called Huey Ying. If you are going to try it there I recommend ordering Tempura, Adobong pusit, crab sotanghon, and salmon belly sinigang
Chowking and Inasal are owned by Jollibee 🐝. Before 2011 when the country was slightly poorer they were mostly patronized by the middle class and the quality of their food reflected that. Now even the homeless can afford to eat at jollibee
No promises on Max's, as I have left Manila but be sure to subscribe and hit your notifications for Aristocrat. I have a funny feeling they will make an appearance here
You apparently didn't watch the video because Mang Inasal was featured. In fact I stated it was my favourite. EVERY restaurant featured is Filipino founded, owned and operated. That was the purpose of the video.
the polvoron is made with flour, powdered milk, butter and sugar. i'm a filipino myslef, but i don't know what technique goldilocks is using coz their polvoron seems to melt in your mouth with a warm sensation
For the Chao Fan (Chowking), the siomai topping is usually dipped in soy sauce with calamansi and chili oil..chili oil is not typically combined with the rice
I am happy you edited your original comment. That one came off a bit condescending. I know the chili oil wouldn't typically be combined with the rice but I felt it needed more flavour and truth is, I will put chilis in my coffee. I just like chili in everything

When I got back to Manila after a few years away I was crossing my fingers that they made it through covid and headed down to my usual branch on Jupiter St in Makati and sure enough they are still there. (happy dance time)
Definitely not the cheapest but the double (which is what I usually get ) is a meal in itself and I don't even order a side because it's so filling and juicy and pretty damn near much the perfect burger.
8 cuts gets an honourable mention but nothing beats Sweet Ecstasy Burger.
My go-to at Pancake House is a stack of 3 banana pancakes with a side order of sausage. Takes me right back to my 80s childhood.
Ohhh that sounds so good
I highly recommend you try café Laguna. Not a single food item was bad when we ate there. They have the best pork barbecue 🍡 I can no longer stand sidewalk barbecues after tasting theirs 😂
Ohhh they have some here in Cebu. Will check them out
I love how insightful your reactions are. Not over the top and pretty sincere!
Glad you like them! thanks for watching and hope to see you on future videos
@13:00 For halo-halo, which is would mean mix-mix in English, you actually need to mix that glass using your spoon. It's kinda hard to explain how to do the mixing process, but basically you stab the shaved ice repeatedly while making sure you don't make too much mess and keeping the toppings from falling off as well. The recommended way is to start stabbing on the one edge of the glass then repeatedly stab the shaved ice at the bottom of the glass. What you want to do see is the shaved ice almost turning into liquid, which in turn also creates space for more shaved ice to be stabbed again. Every "stab" you do from the top, you want to hit the toppings so that it would be included into the mixture. Repeat this ice murder until every shaved ice has turned into liquid. Then enjoy your hard work afterwards.
i really love your editing and presentation style guys !! I miss the Philippines.. as a Filipino American living in California... I havent been home in 30 years ! I watch these videos to get a taste of home.. literally.. lol
keep up the great job. Subbed !
Wow, what a. nice comment. Thank you so much for watching and we are glad we are able to bring you a little piece of home
Ive never seen a Mang Inasal branch that empty lol
haha. We made two other attempts to film there and could't get in so we got our chicken fix first thing in the morning when it was empty
RE: Goldilocks
Goldilocks used to have a contender called Red Ribbon that started in the early 80's. Red Ribbon had a superb cake and pie selection (peach walnut pie with a crunchy chewy meringue based pie crust -- to die for), and they also served nice meals. There was a time when I really thought that Red Ribbon would kill Goldilocks.
In the mid-2000's, Jollibee bought Red Ribbon. Then they greatly simplified the menu by getting rid of all the meals. They also reduced the selection of cakes to just the bare minimum usual suspects (e.g. chocolate log, sponge, etc.) They also got rid of the peach walnut pie. Really sad.
I mean think of it from a business perspective from JFC's POV. Karamihan sa mga inacquire nilang mga companies tended to have varying flavors from branch to branch, and some may have had profits but not enough to say they are growing as a company. They streamlined everything, they made sure na "fast food" became fast food, and desert shops became "desert shops". If you want proof of this, the amount of locations now compared to before they were acquired by JFC is testament to their growth that JFC's business expertise have brought. Yes, it's sad that so many of what they acquired lost their "personalities" or "souls", but they got business growth as an exchange.
As Nestor mentioned, it is a business model that JFC chose, so I guess you can't argue with their success. On the other hand I totally get where you're coming from
@@nestorjrlim3938 yep. That's pretty much how it goes. Streamlining and standardization is the key.
@@PureDetour don't get me wrong though. Even though I openly admit to be Team Red Ribbon, I also love Goldilocks. :)
@ Eric Son, Nothing wrong with that. We tried to film at Red ribbon for this video and both locations we showed up at didn't even exist. So Goldilocks for the win in this video.😂
Great job on this Filipino restaurants tour that isn't about Jollibee. 👍
Thanks! 😃 We really appreciate it
13:28 disappointed, no one told them to halo their halo halo. SMH sad
Yellow cab is my fave. You missed on the Charlie Chan chicken pasta. 4 cheese pizza is my fave. I miss the Philippines
We also missed on the Dear Darla. Apparently they didn't have the day we were there😢
I tried all of these (loved Pancake) but man, Zarks is just something else in my opinion, especially their burgers (probably the closest I can taste of an "American-sized burger" and would rival in quality) and it's one of my top fast food chains. Quite underrated as well but they are growing faster than expected for such a relatively young fast food business.
They were solid
I'm a new subscriber. Welcome to the Philippines and God bless you and your channel! 🙏🙂🇵🇭
Thank you so much, Robert! It means everything to us. Look forward to seeing you around on future videos
I love ArmyNavy and TokyoTokyo. I feel they are criminally underrated. I also love Mary Grace Café.
Now on the look out for Tokyo Tokyo and Mary Grace. Thanks for the tips!
@@PureDetour if you're in Cebu you should really try their homegrown brands/chains though like Choobi Choobi or Orange Brutus.
Making not of them now. Thank you
You featured most of my go to fast food chains (I've outgrown Jollibee at this point lol, not my brothers & little nieces though)
1. Pancake House (pancakes!, beef tapa, fiesta taco salad)
2. Army Navy
3. Chowking (siopao, buchi, wanton soup, sweet & sour, chowfan)
4. Goldilocks (Dulce de leche cake, mamon, polvoron, pork barbeque, etc.)
5. Mang Inasal (must try Palabok, Halo halo)
Tips: halo halo dessert must be mixed thoroughly before eating hence the word "halo"
Other rec places:
1. Banapple (the best beef tapa ever!)
2. Kenny Roger's
3. Goto Tendon
4. Turk's
5. Mary Grace Cafe
6. Nono's
7. Katherine's Cafe
Also try bulalo, sisig, mami, kare-kare, lechon cebu...I'm getting hungry 😂
Great recommendations and tips!
Yellow cab is great pizza, I also like here in Cebu Angels Pizza
You guys need to try Casava cake from Don Bonitto’s
Haven't tried angels yet but yellow can is definitely solid
I Love this content.. surprisingly THANKZ.. 😊
So nice of you. thanks for watching
You actually ate that chicken oil the filipino way which is good! 😂 We usually tend to put it on the rice and sometimes a bit on the chicken!
I dumped it all over the rice and I like heat so I cut the chilis up and dumped that on the rice too. No idea if that was the right way, but I enjoyed it. 😂 Thanks for watching
@@PureDetour I do the same with my rice when eating in Mang Inasal or in Pares food joints. Also putting calamansi in it too.
How dare you called our spaghetti sauce Chef Boyardee!!! 😂😂
Hahahaha. Sorry about that. In fairness, I did say like Chef Boyardee but with more flavour.
Some of these fast food chains in the Philippines are actually found in the western part of the United States Carson & San Diego, California. These areas have huge Filipino populations. Canada, possibly Vancouver
I knew a few of them were in the US and Canada. I had just never seen one for myself outside of Jollibee
First of all, ur using forks. And what is BREAKFAST, it's food, it's a meal. It's the time of day. Not what the food is. Filipino breakfasts are left overs with eggs, hahaaha. The rest of the show was awesome. First timer here
When somebody says "not that bad", to me that means "it's quite bad." I love Filipino food, underrrated but tasty and delicious.
Did we somewhere in the video "not that bad"?
@@PureDetour no big deal. I just reacted to the phrase. Good video.
My own correction, you said "that's not bad" @ 23:18. No biggie, I thought you said "not that bad".
@@honestreviewer3615, Hahaha, I thought that was what she said, and started to watch the video again to try and catch it. Your reply saved me from having to watch myself on video yet again. 🤣
HELLO CANADIAN ENJOY BREAKFAST IN PHILIPPINES PORKSILOG
Will do! thanks for watching
My favorite chains in the Philippines has to be nearly eclipsed by Jollibee because of their heart and character and success including here in the United States.
Jollibee is also doing ok in Canada
I hope you guys travel to various parts of the country and taste the regional cuisines there. Can't miss dishes for me: Lechon, Bulalo, Champarado, Longganiza , Beef Caldareta and Crispy Pata. Also try the rotisserie chicken. It's so much better than what i get here in the US.
@Ricky Marasigan, some of these dishes will show up in future Manila videos (We are a couple of weeks behind real time with the videos) and FYI, I am currently in another part of the country.Thank you for taking the time to watch
@@PureDetour If you guys are touring around the country, I recommend:
1) Baguio city. "Oh My Gulay" is a vegetarian place. Get the vege-meat sliders, Walastik bistek and pasta. It looks like a big funky greenhouse inside.
"Canto" for the fried-then-grilled lomo ribs and beef pochero.
"Good Taste" is classic Chinese food but go on off-peak hours or else you'll get trapped among the mealtime crowds there lol.
"Chocolate de Batirol" for heavy snacks like champorado (chocolate rice porridge), palabok, turon, bibingka and their hot cocoa done old-school in a garden set-up.
@@jportega9404, Is that where you are currently located? If so, send me a private message on facebook, Instagram or on my website. If I make it that way, I would love to get in touch at that time.
@@PureDetour hi! Sorry I'm in Manila. I'm speaking from prior travel experience and there's a wealth of info on those restaurants online. Enjoy! 👍
Back in college in 2016 I al2ays eat at Army Navy in La Salle Taft
Wow I miss eating at Zark's.
I was surprised with just how good it was. Zark's is a winner
@@PureDetour It really is good. I used to eat there when I was working in Manila and it just made my day because it's a good food. I am glad you guys tried other restaurants for a change and I never really liked Army Navy's burger but maybe I'd order what you ordered next time I happen to come by an Army Navy.
We didn't try the Army Navy burgers, but those barilla tacos were VERY good. Best "fast food" taco I have ever had.
I like the niche you've chosen, food. Fave kind of vlog of filipinos. Also am happy that you covered army navy, pancake house and yellow cab. They're not getting much air time but these franchises can really compete with the best in the US. Chowking really is comparable to panda express but better, in my opinion. Panda Express just started recently, about a year, and I didn't really like it. Too oily and a bit flavorless. Zark's, I think, need to improve their flavor. Something in their meat that I don't like. Their menu is really attractive but the taste of the food is a bit off. They're cheaper than burger king though.
Thanks for watching and the great comment. Panda Express has been around in since i was a kid in the US(and I am old af), and it has always been garbage. In fairness to PE, it was my introduction to Chinese food. I would later learn that it was horrible Chinese food but my introduction to it all the same.
No clue if the Philippines version and the US are one and the same but I do think Chow King is better
Hello guys, new subscriber here,thanks for being honest in your opinions,stay safe and God bless always, following from iligan city here in Mindanao
Thank you so much for the kind words and especially for taking the time to watch, comment and subscribe. It means the world to us
I wished I came across this video earlier. I just came back from there a week ago.
Almost always messing up how to eat halo halo. I cringed when the chili was mixed with the rice much more when it was used with the siopao maybe I should try that. Tip put toyomansi with the chili and dip the siomai it will taste better because it can be bland on its own
next time you go to Mang Inasal, mix soy sauce, calamansi and a little bit of vinegar then crush some chilies in there as your dipping sauce, then pour some good amount of chicken oil in your rice and the sauce you've made.. that will bring you to the next level, also for me Mang Inasal's Halo Halo is much better than ChowKing's and don't forget to mix your Halo halo just like everybody says Halo Halo literally means Mix Mix so you'll never forget how it's eaten, but it actually means "mixture of ingredients"
I've had Mang Inasal halo halo and if i'm being honest I like Chowking better. Your other tips are taken to heart and if I film Mang Inasal again I am doing exactly as you suggest and giving a shout out to you
Randy Santel the professional eater, went to one of its branches back then to do a food challenge.
With Zarks that is..
@@ScarlettHarleyMadison, Damn, I thought we were being original here!!!! lol
14:35 Mix it please, this is why it is called halo halo, u will enjoy it better.
As someone who grew up in the 80s-90s, pancake house's menu was way different to the current and was better. They did change the menu when the brand was sold to Max's group of companies (the fried chicken house), this umbrella company also owns Yellow Cab, Max's, and locally owns Jamba Juice and Krispy Kreme, among others. If you head to BGC, they have a spot there where all the brands under the company operate.
Mix well the halo-halo. That's the right way of eating it. :)
I coukd easily destroy 16pcs of that siomai
I'm watching you I'm drooling
@Ricardo Pacana lol, we drool a lot too, it's why we like to film these videos 😂
Just came across your vlog. Happy to see you guys exploring the food experience in the Philippines. When we used to live there, we enjoyed Mang Inasal, Chow King, Red Ribbon, Amber Restsurant for their pancit malabon and pichi pichi. For quick take out, I remember my inlaws love to order chicken from Chooks to go.
The tocino breakfast meal you ate can come in different variations like instead of tocino, it will be tapa (beef) or bangus ( milkfish) and will be served with sunny side up egg, garlic rice and with pickled papaya side dish (achara).
Halo-Halo means literally mix-mix so you have to mix the halo halo. Though I must admit, I cheat, normally eat the flan or icecream topping, then I mix the rest. 🥰
Pancit comes in different variations, different types of noodles, so the taste varies too. If sold on a fastfood chain expect ingredients not to be complete. But if truly home cooked or on a real sit down restaurant, the pancit will have more ingredients to it
Goldilocks and Red Ribbon are popular, usually where we will buy cakes and pastries like ensaymada, mamon etc.
Try to find Gerry's Grill, they serve yummy sizzling plate food.
Actually to really get the feel of fast food, just go around at the food court inside the malls, usually at the ground floor of the mall, there will be a food court.
That is the fastest way to have your fast food.
Yes, Mang Inasal does have the unli- rice offer. Personally, I do not like people doing it out of sheer gluttony. Feels like wasting food. Better just eat what one can consume properly.
@Paul Tess Arevalo Wow, so many great tips...thank you so much! Check out our upcoming videos we have tried some of the things you mentioned. And yes, we thought about doing the unli rice at Mang Inasal, but it just seemed unnecessary to try to force yourself to eat so much!
Try karinderia series.. like the sit down reaturant you see in the street. You'll find more homemade pinoy traditional food
@Peter Espina Thanks for the tip! We'll check it out. Any specific recommendations? Maybe in Cebu where upcoming videos are being filmed?
damn i really like you two's style. theres a realness that i get from you like you're not faking it but youre also definitely not being too harsh about it too
We try. The only thing we refuse to do is outright slam an establishment. If we don't like the food, we just don't put them on camera. This happens a lot more often than some might think. But I thank you for watching.
Wow, you're doing your homework in places where you go. Great job!
I try! Thank you so. much
We always have pancakes.... The rest is just junk food.... Good junk food.
Hahahaha, thats fair
Pancake house is me and my wife’s favorite place. We always get burger steak and potato salad and put some knorr seasoning on it.
That sounds awesome.
My go to burgers in zarks are mamba, 3 pointer and jaw breaker... those are really tasty burgers kinda on the heavy side thou. They also have several side sauce that you can use in the burger.
I can't imagine somebody actually eating the jawbreaker😂
Finally, something different
Thank you so much for watching
Try some best local restaurant delicacies in Ayala Makati or in Bonifacio Global City (Uptown Mall, Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio High Street South) soon :)
Thanks for the tips! Unfortunately I am no longer in Manila
It's interesting that Zark's is here...
Maybe it's just a weird thing for me because I am still remembering the time Zark's was just a hole in the wall in the wall.
Back then Commie (Zarks himself) said he didnt plan on making any other branches cuz it might lose quality.
but i think he found a way to keep the quality. (Main branch in Taft Ave. still the best, I've heard)
Tombstone Fridays!!
I really enjoyed Zark's. Glad you were able to get a kick out of the video. Thanks for watching.
I love Chow King, which happens to be owned by Jollibee. Sio Pao and ube halo halo...
@Mark Smith We enjoyed it much more than we thought we would. Sometimes fast-food type Chinese isn't great, but this was pretty tasty!
Chowking's menu was better before it was acquired by Jollibee Foods.
I'll bet. Wish I would have had the chance to try it then
You guys are awesome! Yellow Cab is my personal favorite place. You guys should try Bonchon and Tokyo Tokyo.
We were trying to focus on chains that were born in the Philippines in this video. But great recommendations
you're eating the halo-halo wrong..halo-halo means mix-mix,so it should be mixed well before eating..
Haha, thanks for the heads up. You are about the 1000th person to tell me😂.
For the Mang Inasal chicken, it is best dipped in soy sauce with kalamansi or philippine lemon. Great video! Made me hungry. 😍
Thanks for the tips! And thank you for watching
Fun Fact: Pancake House and Yellow Cab have the same Company called Max's Group. If you're from United States, They're the one's who franchised Krispy Kreme.
I had read a bit about that, but thank you for clarifying.
TOCINO is also good with VINEGAR and pepper ... You should try ....
I will. Thank you for the great tip
For me Army, Chow King, Andoks and BonChon are easily top 4. Suprised you didn't try Andoks and BonChon
We had researched before arriving where to try and a Filipino blogger recommended most of these. Had never heard of Andocks and had Bonchon in Thailand and it was horrible. We tried to do Red Ribbon instead of Goldilocks, but we showed uop at two locations that google maps said was there and open and it turns out they didn't even exist. We later saw one after completing the filming for this episode
brilliant idea.....correct it's always jollibee...try something new
Yes, you are right. We just wanted to try something different
Imagine eating a Halo-Halo without actually halo-haloing (mixing) it ;D
Cut me some slack. It was our first time and we didn't know any better.......I mean we were trying to taste each individual topping before we mixed it
@@PureDetouryou don have to reply to these a*holes. Don't mind 'em. Internet is full of trolls. Just do you thing and keep learning. I just subscribed, btw.
Oh... we have this party game that involves polvoron.
The game goes like this:
First, the participants would put a whole polvoron.
Then the first contestant who can WHISTLE a tune is the winner. :)
I don't think you can play this game with Goldilock's polvoron though. They're too big. YOu'll need to halve them.
Hahaha, that sounds like fun
that's not how you eat Halo-Halo ma'am and sir.... HALO in english means mix.. you mix all of them together with the ice shavings underneath and milk and then you eat them..
Lets be honest, can there really be a right or wrong way to eat anything?
New sub here. I 💙 your concept. You're a walking advertisement for not so well tourist-visited establishments.
@TravellingVloggerFan Thanks so much for the sub! We're hoping to show a wide variety of Filipino foods, stay tuned!
Palabok is incomplete without the calamansi. Mix it well and you'll get the real palabok experience with the kick of calamansi.
Thanks for the tip, but we did put the Kalamansi on it
"Chef Boyardee with more flavor"
Yeah, I'd say that's accurate. Never was a fan of Pancake House. BTW, you missed a fast food chain that you might be interested in: Tropical Hut. It's on the lower end of the spectrum, but it's well-loved. It's also our oldest, AFAIK. I get the feeling you might not enjoy it, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Thanks for the tip. Tropical Hut has been recommended by several people in the comments.
New subscriber here 🙋♀️ like this kind of vlog content, really enjoyed watching your videos in the philippines. I miss my home 😍 hope you guys enjoyed it there too! Godbless and take care.
Chowking is one of my favorite restaurant there ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Finally something new lol something aside from jollibee
Right? We just couldn't bring ourselves to do a Jollibee video and thought this might be more fun
@@PureDetour EXACTLY! And I enjoyed this a lot more lol
I'm shocked to see you using the spoon and fork the SEA way. Anyway you deserve a subscription, I like this video of yours, and maybe I'll watch others.
Not my first trip to SEA and I have been in SEA for the last 8 months+ in multiple countries so it just seems normal to me now
Try Aristocrat, Conti’s, Mary Grace Cafe, and Chowking
Chow King appears in the video you commented on. Check my Philippines vlogs, and Aristocrat appears in another video
We are lucky to have Jollibee/Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, and Chow King all over the San Francisco bay area. I only tried Jollibee, from this list, when I visited the Philippines. Much preferred to experience the local cuisines prepared by the locals, as each province has it's own style, and stayed away from all the touristy traps for the most part.
I'm not big on fast food in general, but this one was fun to try all of the different brands here. As to trying out the different province foods, stay tuned. I am finishing up a stay in Cebu at the moment and moving on to Bacolod next. Videos of Cebu start on Saturday
Yellow cab's four seasons is Divine and my favorite ❤️
Yellow cab was as solid as can be for a fast food joint. Thanks for watching
To enjoy more of the HALO HALO which means MIX MIX,,, next time try mixing it. Ask the waiter or waitress on how to do it 😁
Thanks for the tip!
My go to fast food is chowking. I'm a bit disappointed with Jollibee with their lack of innovative meals. not a fan of burger steak. I used to eat their spag more frequently however I developed gluten intolerance since 2020.
Chow King is solid for sure.
You guys should go to.cebu and try roasted pig, we called it. LECHON..you guys seems just trying the.food.but we dont see you eat all ur food
Hi, I am in Cebu right now. Are you here?
As to the eating, we have made a lot of videos and I assure you NOBODY wants to watch eat every single bite of every single meal we eat. You may be the first out of thousands of comments on our channel😂
Although not a fast food, I’d like to see you try Mister Kabab at west avenue, quezon city. Also, I have another recommendation for you (not a fast food also) which is located at Macapagal Boulevard, called Huey Ying. If you are going to try it there I recommend ordering Tempura, Adobong pusit, crab sotanghon, and salmon belly sinigang
Great recommendations, thank you. Currently in Cebu so if I make my way back up north I will seek them out
RICH VOCABULARY! ENOYING THIS VIDEO. THANKS FOR COMING IN THE PHILIPPINES. BE SAFE!
Thank you!
Chowking and Inasal are owned by Jollibee 🐝. Before 2011 when the country was slightly poorer they were mostly patronized by the middle class and the quality of their food reflected that. Now even the homeless can afford to eat at jollibee
Thanks for watching
Kinda sad you guys didn't try out the Dear Darla pizza in Yellow Cab, and their sriracha wings and chipotle spiced wings. And the Charlie Chan pasta.
I'm sad too. We tried to order the Dear Darla, but they said they were finished. for the day The others I made no attempt to order
I love that I can get great Chinese food in the Philippines. Hap Tian is one of my go to's.
Please do a second vlog on Filipino restaurants like Max’s, Aristocrat.
No promises on Max's, as I have left Manila but be sure to subscribe and hit your notifications for Aristocrat. I have a funny feeling they will make an appearance here
U only try all American food but u didnt try Local dishes in Local Resto like Mang Inasal , Maxs and others tradisyonal Resto.
You apparently didn't watch the video because Mang Inasal was featured. In fact I stated it was my favourite. EVERY restaurant featured is Filipino founded, owned and operated. That was the purpose of the video.
Chowking and Mang Inasal are owned by Jollibee, so this fast-food chain is really an emerging Filipino empire!
They are indeed and we stated that in the video. JFC IS an empire, I don't think there is anything "emerging" about it.
Chowking and Mang Inasal is part of the Jollibee Food Corp. So basically you are still eating at Jollibee
Yes, we mentioned that in the video
try nano's tsiken inasal please its our business and we started it here in the philippines :D
Would love to. Unfortunately I am in Cebu now. If I make it back towards Valenzuela or QC I will definitely check out one of the locations
@@PureDetour thank you ❤
the polvoron is made with flour, powdered milk, butter and sugar. i'm a filipino myslef, but i don't know what technique goldilocks is using coz their polvoron seems to melt in your mouth with a warm sensation
Thanks for the that, we had no idea but were blown away how they jus melt in your mouth
You guys totally missed out on the Charlie Chan noodles from Yellow Cab, it's their most famous item aside from the actual pizza.
We did, but pizza was the objective
For the Chao Fan (Chowking), the siomai topping is usually dipped in soy sauce with calamansi and chili oil..chili oil is not typically combined with the rice
I am happy you edited your original comment. That one came off a bit condescending. I know the chili oil wouldn't typically be combined with the rice but I felt it needed more flavour and truth is, I will put chilis in my coffee. I just like chili in everything
Good reviews. Nice video.
Thank you again, Lloyd
