22:15 that's the carriedo fountain and theres only three of that kind in the world (Manila, Philippines, Singapore, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) The old church at your back is the Sta. Cruz Church and not far from it is Escolta
Yes and I hope they do it clean it up more. Its a tourist destination and a former finance district in the 60's. Relocating the overhead wires, intense cleaning of the esteros and clearing of the unwanted personalities should be of big help
Another walk-and-talk day, brother. You're getting a lot of cardio exercise in the Philippines, huh? That's good, man. Very good! Would you consider going to the islands?
Tater! I haven't seen your videos in a hot minute! Good to see you again! "I apologize, I'm going to encounter a lot of vowels today" - this got me cracking!
For a first timer in the Philippines you had made good choices in the foodstuff that you tried ; good thing with some research it helps you along with the choices
You ate at the right spot, Wai Ying. It has always have line since the Chinese New Year in Feb 2022. You are lucky. I dont like duck, it's always tough to eat, and i feel like it's too pricey. Wai Ying musts are HK Milk Tea, Siomai, Hakaw, Beef Wanton Mami. When i was a frequent there in 2010. I felt like all the food in Hong Kong were just normal taste for me.
Yep, in Chinatown, you go there with a list otherwise, everything will look the same from the outside. Duck is an expensive item but not much excitement in it really. When eating Siomai or dumplings in the Philippines, always prepare your sauce. Soy sauce, calamansi and chili.
You mentioned your love for old historic buildings. You should then go to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan, a resort with 40 original Spanish-Filipino Colonial structures that were transplanted there from different places. And also Corregidor Island (also in Bataan) with it's WWII artilleries, fort ruins, war tunnels, museum, etc.. Would also like to recommend Vigan Heritage Site but it's sadly closed now because of the damages done by recent earthquake. I really hope the government and even NGOs (i think there's actually one dedicated to cultural heritage places) work on restoring it. Coz it's also one of the most popular tourist spots here.
I was trying to secure passage to Corregidor island because I really wanted to go there, but I was unable to find the correct place to take a ferry. They keep changing companies and none of the links online that I find are relevant sadly
@@tatertravels hello...try searching for SUN CRUISES tour for corregidor Island tour. If you're still in Manila bay area, ferry terminal is around the Mall of Asia.
Manila is the capital of the Philippines.. enjoy your stay... Though u need to be a bit careful. Walking through the busy streets with ur GoPro. We are all friendly. But some.. sad to say are scoundrels
They have Cat houses there in Chinatown too. Just ask around. You can get Siomai anywhere. Just go to a Metro LRT/MRT station or at a shopping mall. You can get Siopao at 7-eleven. You can get Chinese food at the SM Mall too. Just go to a North Park or Savory Chicken.
You should do Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner there or extend it for another day to get the full experience. Do a list of popular dish to eat like Dumplings, Fresh Lumpia, Tofu, Beef noodles, etc!
A good dipping sauce for your dimplings would be calamansi squeezed on soy sauce (not vinegar, ahem ---I'm sure there was one there). Then you add some chili garlic (yes, that whole mound or spoonful you put on the saucer hahaha) only according to your heat preference. That's what made you cough hihi. Was the earthquake this same day or after?
You were going caveman mode with the straw and milk tea there, lol. Haven't had Peking Duck in ages. It has a different taste to chicken i think. But yeah, it's really good. And can't go wrong with Siomai and Siopao, especially there in Binondo coz that's where the authentic Chinese food are. You should have tried the infamous Soup #5 at Cafe Mezannine. It has male cow "family jewels", if you know what i mean, lol. Though Soup #5 is actually a Filipino dish and not Chinese. The loud announcement was about trash pick-up. And yes, you pronounced Pasig correctly. It's also a city here. LOL at you singing Baby Shark :)
@@tatertravels There are ads at the start of the video Tate. At this point, i don't know if it would be beneficial to you to not skip them since you haven't applied (or can't yet apply) for monetization...
@@moondustgirl2132 We are about halfway there for the watch hours requirement. Though I was thinking of maybe waiting until I was well clear of the requirements again, just to be safe.
I think what you meant to say is that the Chinatown in Manila is the oldest Chinatown outside of China😍😍😍 Great video, very interesting. Keep up the good work😀😀😎
Hi tater.. i have observed things on you. I will keep it to myself first and not until you confirm(make a separate video about this) i notice you adapting to things here in Philippines whilst you just had a month. Adapting and unknowingly doing filipino style
@@tatertravels no you can make one. Just review your own videos then you yourself will notice things that you don't normally do in US but you did in Philippines. Folks will agree on this
I always used to go to Binondo because it was close to where I used to work. Can you please make a video about SOGO HOTEL in Manila! That's a great hotel!
At the 13:56 mark, you missed Chinatown's most famous and biggest restaurant PRESIDENT Restaurant. It used to be a theater converted into a fine dining restaurant. They serve roast duck and other meats there too. President has delicious fruit shakes and so does Wai Ying. Wish you could have stealthily asked us viewers some recommendations before you go to a location so that we could guide you. But I understand you safeguarding your security. At the 23:05 mark I think you passed by the trendy 1919 Grand Cafe which has good ambiance. Since this is my wife's hometown which I have mastetrd, instead of Cafe Mezzanine or Wai Ying I would have recommended Quik Snax and Yin Ying. Ramada is the best and cleanest hotel there others are just like hostels and dubious. Looking at your IG you went to the Intramuros area. You can walk from Binondo to Quiapo for your camera needs which is way cheaper than the malls. Lastly, ask somebody especially for where to eat, how to eat, where to go , how to get there, etc. Ride the ferry from Binondo to Rockwell Makati and Bgc
President is good but Grand cafe I have not visited that yet too. I frequent that place for my supply of Old Town Coffee in Bee Tin convenience store (Not Eng Bee Tin)

Thanks for your good words sbout the food n place.
Binondo used to be very dirty, I am glad to see some progress in the cleanliness. More needs need to be done but overall...great job Manilinos!
Yes and I hope they do it clean it up more. Its a tourist destination and a former finance district in the 60's. Relocating the overhead wires, intense cleaning of the esteros and clearing of the unwanted personalities should be of big help
Ya all of downtown is a lot cleaner. Even the river he called dirty looks so much better.
WaiYing!!! Alright, very good, fantastic!
You've Quickly Became My New Favorite RUclipsr , Tater!! 🎉🎉
" Aimed at the wrong hole...it happens!!" WAHAAAHAA, Tater, it sure does Buddy!😄😄😄😄

4:11 St. Lorenzo de Manila is the first Filipino-Chinese martyr saint served as a mass server in that church
Very Entertaining this guy.

Would you consider going to the islands?

For a first timer in the Philippines you had made good choices in the foodstuff that you tried ; good thing with some research it helps you along with the choices
Try going to some of the famous islands like Cebu, Bohol or Palawan 😊🇵🇭

Nice work mr. Tater! Thanks for doing this!!!
No no. Ty for watching!
Siopao is Cat meat cooked adobo style. yummmm

You too!

2k subs let’s go!
try the filling station restaurant on burgos st in makati
Wai Ying has the best dumplings ❤
Best place to hunt for great authentic chinese food in the Philippines.
Greeted by the rain? Don't worry we're the same. I went to Adriatico St a while ago for some coffee at Cafe Roo. You may want to check it out too 😘

Then you add some chili garlic (yes, that whole mound or spoonful you put on the saucer hahaha) only according to your heat preference. That's what made you cough hihi.

the vinegar was good though 😂
It was actually the next day, sadly
Man wish you would've seen the market there.
You were going caveman mode with the straw and milk tea there, lol.

It was a joke 😂 obviously there are many older places in China
You should try the crispy frog legs, its near the bridge or the side of the bridge rather.
You always crack me up with your humor. Enjoy your adventures in Manila Tater.
Thank you! Much appreciated
The Manila china town is like a city in itself because its huge

Great choice of food and restaurant Tater. Enjoy bro.
That's near my office, bro
I'm a little jealous you are so close to good food 🤣

Haha that would be a fun video, but I can't personally think of anything I've had to adapt to off the top of my head. I'm sure there's plenty though
@@tatertravels no you can make one. Just review your own videos then you yourself will notice things that you don't normally do in US but you did in Philippines. Folks will agree on this
Try to visit Intramuros in Manila too
