      Nah. It's surface level. I'm pinoy too, btw. Older than YOU and grew up in the (deep) Mission, not the Ex. There are better places than the ones you went to and cheaper and something the old people like me can afford and are used to. Your friend should do more digging and hype places that aren't so trendy. Hell...there's a really good one just across the street from Kelloggs (sic). At this point, the vid looks to me like something that would appeal to mga puti. I think it's a bad assumption because you see Americans visiting back home who are literally eating lugaw and balut on the street in Tondo and are digging it. Yeh...have your friend do better. This is just ornamental and doesn't go deep enough to be inclusive of the greater Filipino experience in America.

      The other comments to this ain't it. The point of this video is to foster community and give people an introduction to places and culture they may not have had access to. And the target audience is definitely younger - hence the business owners, artists, and creators that were featured. I also relate a lot to the perspectives in this video being a second generation Filipino American that grew up and still lives here in the bay. Spread love and knowledge and invite people into spaces where they can learn and discover. We already get criticized enough from bitter relatives at Christmas, we don't need to hear it in RUclips comments too 😂 Perspective videos like this will never give you the full scope of a community, it's literally impossible to fit everyone's stories into one cohesive video. For us, the bay gives Filipinos love and we show it right back. 🤟

I can attest to all the GREAT food at family parties (and when they bust out the Magic Mike it's off the hook!). And I can't forget all the aunties always asking me when I'm getting married😆!
    I frequent Tselogs (for palabok and lechon kawali) and Fil-Am is my weekly Friday lunch (for sisig + chicken skewers). I remember going to Ling Nam, Sinugba, and Lucky Chances after the club! I'm so happy I grew up in the Bay Area, where I can experience the Filipino culture🤗!

    Back when they were still just walking distance from where i live i would always get the Pancit Malabon and Siopao Asado 👍
    I'm a distant relative (via my niece) of the fam that owns Kadoks and plus the owners eldest daughter is my childhood friend 🙂
    I got beef with Chibogs tho. Some guy that works there was rude to my mom. He didn't get fired because he's real tight with the owner. Dude is known for being rude
    I miss the original Toppings restaurant back when it was just walking distance from Chibogs (back in the early 2000s when Chibogs was Sinugba)
    What i would get at Toppings was their fried rice, chicharon bulaklak, lechon kawali, mongolian beef, and broccoli beef. My fam would get 2 plates of fried rice and one plate would be all for me 👍
    The original area where Toppings, Ling Nam, some Karate school, a Thai restaurant, an LBC office, Round Table Pizza, and OSH was at is now a Mercedes Benz dealership

    Just the video/platform I’ve been waiting the last few wks to ask this question:
    Does anyone else feel like senor sisig has gotten bland? (Particularly in the last year)
    a few months ago I had the pork burrito it tasted unexpectedly bland especially when compared to the junipero Serra truck days…
    Last week I got a tofu bowl (and I wasn’t expecting Tslog’s quality but..) and it was offensively bland… it did not attempt to resemble authentic Filipino flavor or even Mexican flavor for that matter..(nothing in the bowl was seasoned)
    These experiences were both at the Valencia st location..
    I’ve also tried the ferry building location a while back and remember that not being as good either
    Am I tripping or have they started “whitifying” their recipes..
    Hasn’t been the same since they’ve started expanding

    I’m sure a lot of these spots are your homies and peers. But it would’ve been nice to highlight actual mom n pop stores that are non Fil-Am and even more authentic. No hate on, at all, on these modern Fil-Am fusion joints. Just seeking balance, because there’s plenty out here runned by our aunties and uncles from the motherland.

    • @HiDidYouEatYet
      @HiDidYouEatYet  21 день назад +2

      I highlighted 8 spots and 3 of them are mom and pops that have been around for a long time. This whole video shows the range of more tradition stuff all the way to the more modern stuff to showcase what Filipino cuisine can be. These older spots generally also don’t like to appear on camera so that’s why I had friends talk about them instead.
      There’s definitely way more Filipino restaurants that I would have loved to spotlight too, but can’t fit everything in one video. Also really difficult to coordinate filming with so many people and restaurants! We really like Parekoy Lutong Pinoy nearby us. Islas also fantastic.

    The problem with Tselogs is everything is too expensive and the stuff doesn't taste like the way it should taste. They are experimenting and it always tastes like some kids were just playing around. Oh and the meat/egg over rice is $13. No. Just...no.
    The younger folk are trying to express Filipino pride on places like this but it's the wrong thing because the pricing is for mga puti not for mga kababayan who resent it. That and like I said, it just doesn't taste right.

    • @sweatlifedadding
      @sweatlifedadding 21 день назад +6

      I do understand your frustration with the prices but is that due to the business or economics? “Oh and the meat/egg over rice is $13. No just no” and you say is for “mga puti”, if that’s the case do you hold that same sentiment for Lucky Chances who charge $16.95? I remember when Superstar and Gateway Kitchen had silogs for $4 and now they range from $6-$8. I remember when super burritos at El Farolito were $6 and now they’re $15. A big bowl of Pho use to be $7 now $12-$13. Are all these restaurants catering for the “puti” or is it the rise of cost for everything here in the Bay Area, which is a whole different topic of its own.
      As far as taste, I have no argument there as everybody’s palate is different. We pilipinos will try someone else’s pilipino food and will say “My dad(or lola, or mom etc) makes this waaaayyy better” hahaha that’s just the love and pride we have for our families so I get it. But to bash a spot saying their pricing is for puti(white) and not for the kabayan is a bit disingenuous.
