Underrated can be a good thing. There are many cuisines that need to have enough spotlight, be it Filipino, Paraguayan, Mongolian, and Tunisian cusine. Bulalo is my #1 favourite Filipino food as a Filipino born American raised and naturalized man! 😋😋😋
Underrated because the stuff that gets promoted are so ordinary. Palabok may be interesting. But it doesnt taste great. Bulalo is too expensive and most of the time the restaurant just give you regular beef soup.
@@eduardochavacanoI can agree somehow that they're "so ordinary." Many of the flavorful Filipino cuisine come from the Bicol Region with their spices, in Pampanga, as well as in Mindanao with their Halal-based Filipino dishes. Lots of food from those regions are VERY underrated and not showcased that much in Filipino cuisine.
I’m half Filipino, but I grew up here in South Korea, and whenever I get back home, I would crave for isaw, kwekwek and fishball!😩 delicious! (I moved to the Philippines last year)
@@yuko6794 maybe you've eaten another dish of that. Maybe its the root node or contained some of the stalk of it or maybe the dish you've eaten was undercooked. Pinangat are 'gabi' leaves prepared dried or fresh with some native spices and cooked for a long time soaked in coconut milk until it reduces. The leaves are not itchy which is the main ingridient of pinangat, it's the stalk and root which are itchy. If you've eaten which you feel like a slimy in texture, you've probably eaten a dish that contained a stalk of that gabi. Pure leaves-Pinangat long cooked in coconut milk should be creamy, melts-in-your-mouth texture. There are 2 types of it maybe you've eaten the "inulukan" which is stuffed version of pinangat.
The “orange sauce” for palabok is actually a shrimp sauce (shrimp shells including heads and tails are boiled and thickened hence all the rich flavors are there) - or at least the authentic sauce for palabok should be 😊❤️🙏. Yummy!
thank you drew now you are a pilipino by heart and for giving a positive feedback regarding pilipino culture and cuisine!!! God bless you and family more!!!!
Love the inclusion of bulalo. When my family does occasionally go to a filo restaurant they'll always make sure they get sinigang but I'll always ask if we can get bulalo as well as I'm worried it won't be a default dish. I've been hooked since my relatives and I ate at some outdoor tiny "restaurant" at the side of a river that had the most delicious subtle bone broth flavour. Of course giant ass leg bone included so there was lots of marrow go around Also can't say no to some palabok. At Christmas parties I'll fill my plate with everything and go back for seconds, thirds etc. Sometimes one of those helpings is dedicated to palabok. Or it's a late entree after the main haha
@@travelloloDifferent strokes for different folks BUT as someone who is American AND half Filipino, I would have to agree with you on this. Authentic Italian style spaghetti is far superior to Filipino style spaghetti. I "like" Filipino style sweet spaghetti but I LOVE authentic Italian spaghetti! Most Filipino Food is either hit or miss..... it's either REALLY bad or it's REALLY good. Spaghetti w/Meatballs blows Filipino spaghetti out of the water! Like I said, this is me speaking as an American who's half white (Welsh) & half Filipino, on my Dad's side.
@joshuadiaz2330 It's sad that many Filipinos have never even tried authentic spaghetti or Italian food. If you start eating the good stuff first, then you will know the substandard food. Same with pizza, my wife, who was in the US for 8 years can't stand Filipino pizza because it has fake cheese.
@@travellolo Completely Understandable. That would make sense for sure. I grew up eating both American Food & Filipino Food but I think I've eaten more American Food than Filipino Food in my lifetime. My Mom's side of the Family is from Kansas so I grew up eating Steak, Potatoes, Chicken Fried Steak, Pork Chops, Hash Browns, Omelette's, Eggs, Bacon, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Top Ramen & Hamburger Helper. Not to mention Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Ribs, Grits, Potato salad & other American Food. However, on the other hand, I ALSO grew up eating Lumpia, Pancit, Rice, Sinigang, Filipino Adobo, Diniguan, Sweet Rice, Chocolate Rice, Ube, Halo Halo & other Filipino dishes because my Dad is an immigrant from the Philippines. Over the past 15-20 years I've experimented & sampled other cuisines from other countries & cultures from around the World too. Filipino Food is an acquired taste & so is American Food from a foreigners perspective. Luckily, I've had a few experiences with both authentic Italian & Greek Food, even though I didn't grow up with it. Any cuisine affiliated with Mediterranean Food is amazing Food. Italians have an amazing pallet & phenomenal skills in the kitchen. I'm sure not all Italians know how to cook but the ones who do? Fantastic! Even non Italians who were trained to cook traditionally Italian can create amazing food. Mexican 🌮🌯 Food is awesome 😎 too! Non fast Food high quality authentic Mexican kitchens are Top Tier & Top Notch Food! Filipino Food is amazing too but only certain specific dishes & cuisine's. I concede that Filipino Food has traditional all star dishes too but Mexican & Italian are usually elevated in flavor overall. Indian Food spices/ingredients are awesome 😎 too! I love me some good quality Indian Food.
@@travellolo agree, I like the filipino spaghetti but love italian style spaghetti more. My mom knows how to make authentic italian pasta recipes and it's far better. *we have more pasta dishes we don't show to other foreigners for the reason they might not like it* Like the way you just explained it hurts me a bit but understandable. Edit: not all "filipinized" food are bad.. that's an overstatement. We have chinese dishes that's not as bad as the sweet spaghetti.
Filipino food is a melting pot of different tastes from around the world. The Spanish, Chinese, Malaysians, and Americans have all put their culinary stamp on Filipino cuisine, creating a fusion of flavors that's truly one-of-a-kind.
I ate beef pares twice a day for almost a month on my last trip to Pampanga. I’m headed back in August and the first place I’m going to is this little shack across the street from Hotel Boss with the best pares 😅
I'm surprised you liked palabok. 😅 Some of the foreigners who have tried it said that it was plain tasting and does not have much flavor to it. 😂 Glad you appreciate our country. Salamat Kuya Drew ❤🥰
I've never been to the Philippines. However, I was graced with having several as co-workers. A lovely older couple were away from their family back home so they would invite me and my family over to try their cuisine. I cannot remember any of the names of these dishes but man, were they delicious. Some super spicy, most just a new flavor sensation. Sadly, at the time (nearly 20 years ago) they could not source all the things they wanted in our landlocked state. Since then between Asian markets now everywhere and the convenience of online ordering I think I will attempt to cook some dishes myself as the couple went back to the Philippines to retire with their family.
Drew Binsk, thank you so much for your beautiful vlogs. I love them. I am your new Filipino Subscriber from the Philippines. I am an International Cheffe that adores Filipino and French Cuisines.
I'm not sure if I consider bulalo a street food *it's just too heavy) and expected grilled food/bbq to be part of the list. I do prefer pares paired w rice than with noodles though.
Interestingly enough, only the Pares counts as a street food dish here, both the bulalo and palabok, are more home dishes or restaurant cuisine (Given the required preparations and mostly cost of those dishes make them quite expensive)

@@otchsigua8223so many kinds of palabok. No standard. Probably the worst noodle dish in Asia.

Ayyyy ako din po BULALO, BALBAKWA, grabe pampalakas ng buto buto at tuhod.. Kalameee oi pahingi 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m half Filipino, but I grew up here in South Korea, and whenever I get back home, I would crave for isaw, kwekwek and fishball!😩 delicious!
(I moved to the Philippines last year)
Fr tho the classic 1 peso fishball and the kwek kwek with hot sauce on it i hope i get back home soon
@@f.b.i1 yeahhh, glad that I can have it whenever I want to now🥰
That’s so cool 😎
@@peanutbutteryejam isn't isaw ummm something chicken or not?
@@f.b.i1 its chicken intestine
One filipino dish that I would say is underrated is bicol express. Paired with rice and it’s the bomb!
Man, you should try one of their district's especialty dishes- the creamy "Pinangat" there in camalig, albay besides bicol express.
@@justinmacasinag6258 very good dish! however I can’t eat much due to the vegetable’s itch my mouth 😭😭

@@justinmacasinag6258 Very informative, thank you very much. My mother told me it’s “pangat” but I’m not so sure if pinangat and pangat are the same.
Try humba
it's true My wife is filipino she make best food❤
The “orange sauce” for palabok is actually a shrimp sauce (shrimp shells including heads and tails are boiled and thickened hence all the rich flavors are there) - or at least the authentic sauce for palabok should be 😊❤️🙏. Yummy!
Authenticity always compromised by corruption. All just commercial and fake.
From the place top for palabok ... the flavor of the sauce has crab meat then
69th 👍
Disgusting
I'm alive the Philippines the all food is legendary
I m half japanese korean I like the filipino food in my heart since I married with filipina woman I love bulalo and palabok❤❤❤.

THANKS !!!!FOR SHARING THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 AROUND THE WORLD!!! MABUHAY !!💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛🤍🤍🤍🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯✌️✌️✌️✌️
I luv bulalo 🤤
As a Filipino, my recommended gateway food for foreigners who want to try Filipino cuisine would be Lechon Kawali.
Wish i could travel with him what a legend ❤
I would die of a heart attack just by eating the "Pares" eitherway, delicious food

More power to your channel so grateful that you and your team picture our country.
Try the chicken inasal of Bacolod 🤤
Ina ya!
thanks for promoting Philippine foods bro, more blessings to you
Drew you are a legend and an icon already here, you are not a visitor anymore but a family.....
I agree 100%❤❤❤
Glad you like Filipino food. Most foreigners don’t like it so Filipino restaurants sadly don’t stay long in business in my area in the US. 😔
I ENVY YOUR COURAGE!!! IT'S FASCINATING TO WATCH, YOU ATE BLOOD!!?? COMMENDABLE. .
Yukkk BLOOD!
@@kenney1050 it's not BAD!!! IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR COMPLEXION, specially if it's moist
Thank you for visiting and eating in phillipines♥️
yummy yummy 😋 palabok ! ! ! my favorite 😍 💓 💛 ❤️ ♥️ 💕 😍 💓 !
Thank you sur for tasting and promoting our filipino foods🤗💙
I lived with a Filipino family for 2 years in gradschool. I was amazed how they made rice every day and ate it with everything. Even pizza!
As an Asian I am equally amazed by how other cultures survive without eating rice everyday.
Hahaha. Noodles paired with rice is a filipino thing.
I’m Filipino, I can eat almost anything with rice but rice and pizza that is crazy 😮
try also halo halo,batchoy and chicken inasal(grilled chicken)
Inalready forgot that place, rhe one restaurant rice and that yellow sauce thing
Those three are my favourite i like it
half filipino here! you have to try our spin on spaghetti! it has a sweeter sauce and its really good! 🥰🥰
Stop with the filipino spaghetti. Try real Italian food, and then you will realize filipinized food is terrible.

Austronesians din, ayun Yung mga ninuno natin
I never liked pancit but Palabok is really nice. And if you want bulalo, then you will love Nilagang Baka with Ampalaya (Beef Stew with Bittergourd).
Filipino foods are extremely underrated!
Thank for sharing the world about the filipino food best food in the Philippines.. godbless you.
I love Filipino food
👋
try some of the variants/specialties of pancit, there's so many and my fav is Miki Bihon. So fire when U get the right place
The street BBQ is the best ❤
ditto! Yes kahit saang kanto mo bilhin masarap ang BBQ natin.
Lalo na po yung Isaw ❤
Thank you for promoting our country, more power to you man..
Lumpia with sweet chili sauce was my FAVORITE
I learned how to cook Pad Thai in a Bangkok hawker stall for few nights to master it .... the Filipino Palabok to me is over Pad Thai.
I ate beef pares twice a day for almost a month on my last trip to Pampanga. I’m headed back in August and the first place I’m going to is this little shack across the street from Hotel Boss with the best pares 😅

I also recommended dinuguan(blood stew)
The authentic palabok sauce the orange one is from crushed whole boiled crab like a blue crab maybe.... Then the orange color came from anato....
Wow! So yummy delicious Filipino food.
Thank you for loving our food 💚💚💚
My Fav is Bulalo and Beef Pares and Adobo with Lomi
thank u for appreciating our food.. sori bout the mess in the streets by the way
Thank you for visiting the philippines

Proud to be pinoy❤
I love this food palabok one of my favorites
The sauce of Palabok (Luglug in my area) is made of pounded tiny shrimps.

Filipino cuisines is just there you won’t crave for it but until you taste it you would say recomend it to your friends or people in your country
yeah great taste filipino foods!!
Great and all filipinos that are made and more foods excellent...
I'm not sure if I consider bulalo a street food *it's just too heavy) and expected grilled food/bbq to be part of the list. I do prefer pares paired w rice than with noodles though.

Wow, likewise Naman dyan
Salamat gid! Ang behalf para sa philippined!!!!! ❤ (thank u very much! The behalf for the philppines!!!!!! ❤)
I'm salivating just watching this video. 🤤
Yout always welcome here at the Philippines. Thank you so much for coming.

You got me, I’ve only been there 32 times
