      😂😂😂 i watched this video for 3x before i write down my comment about those street foods.
      First: street foods are good if the preparation were good.
      Second: those are good if the dipping sauce were good, as well.
      Third: those street foods are good with soda drink or beer as your drinks. Panulak( street language for drinks)
      Fourth: balut is good if its warm and only 16days old not the 21 days old.... and the vinegar is a little bit spicy..
      Conclusion...next time....choose street foods with good dipping sauce and much better to buy on a small vendor rather than a big volume vendor. Because at the small street vendor, they cleaned and cooked it properly. I am not saying that the big bolumes are dirty.. My problem with the big volumes, they have the 3minutes rule of cooking/grilling. In the end, sometimes, its uncooked. While for the small vendor they did it really well.. Goodluck for your adventure at the North..Go south as well...God bless!!!

      Good job @Gareth, Im a Filipino, i tasted those but not a fan of street food fried or grilled, for my parents did not raised us to buy such. Due to influence of my peers I was able to taste those, its cool to try but not advisable for daily consumption.
      @Gareth enjoy the Philippines.

    Love your shows Gareth 💗 My favorite so far is the one where you stood the exact spot your grandfather took a picture at so many years before. If I may say sir that you remind of the late great Anthony Bourdain on how you find the great hidden spots, that everyone wants to go to but didn't know they were there before watching your show. Be safe on your travels sir and can't wait for more shows.

    My eye hurts now... been watching your Philippines vlogs since 2pm and its already past 8pm here in Toronto... it was so nice to see places that me myself as a Filipino has never been to. Me and my wife loves watching your vlog and we enjoyed it a lot. I got hooked up into watching vlogs like this only this week. I've seen few other vloggers, they look good and fancy but yours is different in a way that you explore not only the beaches and food but also the people and its culture. Good luck man to your next adventure! Philippines a lot more to offer even a year is not enough. Greetings from Toronto!
    Btw, I felt jealous! Its getting cold here now... uggghhh missing that warm Philippine weather.

      I’m Filipino and I was cringing too, I ate balut before when I’m still a child but not anymore, when I learned that SDA should not eat duck I stopped eating balut, also SDA doesn’t eat blood and now I am a vegan so that must be the reason why I was cringing but at the same time I was laughing too.

    It might have been kinder for Ave to explain how to eat the different items rather than leaving you to fend for yourself, it is like being given a banana for the first time and having to figure out how to eat it. And why would you give someone something to eat that you wouldn’t eat yourself? That’s such a great way to introduce someone into your culture ... You’re a brave man to eat a duck foetus from a street cart vendor ...

  • @Estenberg

    Do more food videos - I like your regular adventurous American travel tone when eating. You are not a snooty, bug-eating "Woeld-Music" guy with an open mind for everything on Earth. You are more... Normal. It is nice to see you suffer trough a few things. It makes the things that you actually like more powerful. And it gives me hope for our people.

I felt sick for hours. The energy in the city is incredible. I've also been looking at your Norway videos. I spent two weeks there too and am going back in September. There is nothing to beat travelling.
