I lived in and around San Diego for ten years as a kid. Tons of places to score good Filipino food. National City has quite a few places to eat with Filipino food. Man, I still miss the place
The first time I've been to Philippines was in 2016 and all the foods I've tried were absolutely delicious but my all time favorite was their chicken and ginger stew called Tinola, I'm still making it at home since I really fell in love with that dish. How I wish this pandemic will end soon, I'll definitely go back. Mike did so well in making me crave for a good sisig, I'll look up the recipe on Google later. Love from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
@@rado3880 i'm not a big fan of sour food so yess, Tinola is better for me but my boyfriend likes sinigang a lot, the recipe is quite easy too so I'm trying to replicate it at home but I don't think I can ever do it the way you do it in Philippines 😅
Tinola is one of my favorite dish. Really ahrd to decide which one is my favorite dishes coz I love em all. Sisig, kare-kare- kaldereta, adobo, menudo, mechado, sinigang, tinola, bulalo, nilagang baka, inihaw na liempo, lechon, crispy pata, lechin kawali, palabok, pancit malabon, lumpia I mean there are tons to choose from.
i need to show my mom this to convince her to go on culinary fiesta in the philippines! i've been begging her for YEARS to go there and everytime she asks 'why u wanna go there?' my answer has always been consistent. FOOD.
Yea. Thats a great idea! Try our filipino food and you'll be very satisfied i guarantee you. I'm just happy that many people loves filipino cuisine. ❤️
Sisig is my favorite Filipino dish. I can't get enough of it. Also, it's so damn Filipino that a tita is serving their food from a house and not an actual restaurant. Lol.
Thanks for making a research on our food! Btw Tapsilog stands for Tap - TAPa (Smoked Meat) Si - SInangag (Garlic Rice) Log - itLOG (Egg) So the vegies were just a bonus 👍
Hey mike! I love when you showcase Filipino food. I’m filipino and I love watching you try our food. It gives me a sense of pride and I think it’s awesome you have the gift of encouraging people not familiar to try new things, especially Asian cuisine. Keep doing you! Looking forward to your next videos 😊
Thanks so much for your Spotlight on Filipino food! As a Filipina, I wish our food Is more popular here in the US so thanks for highlighting some of the yumminess!!! Sooo good! Sisig is definitely one of my favorites! Hopefully jollibee opens up soon so you can go back there 😉
Filipino food probably one of the most underrated cuisines. Food influenced by different countries, can’t go wrong. Mike keep doing your thing!! Your bring positivity through your content, especially during these times.
seeing you crave for our dishes makes us filipino proud.. hoping to see you again eating in the streets of roxas in davao.. blessed day to you mike from: the food gods
Grew up on Filipino food, these area some great restaurants you went to. Gonna have to hit some up this weekend!! Thanks Mikey, this was an excellent and safe video! Take care.
Thank you Mikey for acknowledging Filipino foods.this video reminds me how lucky I am to be in a place surrounded with some of the most outstanding dishes around the world.proud Filipino here.thanks again Mikey.more power...
Glad you are featuring Filipino food! It’s really good and doesn’t get enough recognition on social media. You should try Filipino spaghetti next time 😍
Nxx yup as a Pinoy I definitely watched every single video of his in the Philippines from the night markets, seafoods, Davao, Tagaytay, Chinatown Mcdo, Jollibee and Buffets 👍🏽
"I've always said if I could have superpowers it would a 100% be teleportation, I mean can you imagine... today I'm in a mood for Chinese Food... Mmm... today I want Ramen I'll teleport to Tokyo and wait 5 hours"... took a bite. That's one of Mikey's humor I've always love.
So glad you enjoy our "Filipino Food" im Filipino myself & not really a big pancit fan just cause it's a genetic dish for Filipino parties, but that pancit in Seattle looks good!
I’m from Philippines and I seriously love your videos!!! If you come to cebu i’ll pay for everything in your next video if you let me be part of it!!💕🥰 I support you all the way dude!!!
Pretty dope that this guy is still showing us all these great restaurants and reviews while also taking the precautions during the pandemic! Food looks delish
Your comment about pouring syrup on snow reminded me of a neat story, from a book I used to read as a child in fact. In the Little House on the Prairie series (specifically Little House in the Big Woods), Laura Ingalls Wilder recounts making snow candy as a child during the Wisconsin winters. They would take fresh snow, pack it into a cast iron skillet, then pour pure maple syrup (this is Wisconsin so you know it had to be fresh and delicious) over the snow, in fun patterns. The syrup would harden and then they would somehow get rid of the plain snow left in the container and the candy shapes would be left. Such found memories of reading that delightful series.
I’m hungry and happy while watching this.. feeling the vibes while your eating all those Filipino foods and while describing it, its making me smile the whole time watching this!! 🙏💙😊
“Every single bite of meat that I take, it’s like a love story in my mouth” lol I love it! Your descriptions about food makes me super hungry! Thank you for filming filipino foos in America! 😋
Im from the Philippines, I'm so overwhelmed how you loved our filipino dishes! Hope when this pandemic ends, you'll comeback here and have some vids again. Stay safe Mike! ❤️
i dont konw but i have this attitude that if i saw or watched people from different countrythat likes or appreciate our (Filipino food) food i automatically fell in love with that person 😂😂. that's why i love this man hahahaha. I love you Mr. Strictly Dumplings!!!
Bulalo is very easy to make. If you want to follow good filipino recipes I suggest looking at the websites Panlasang Pinoy or Kawaling Pinoy but good luck on your Bulalo hunting tho! 🤣🤣
Your understanding of everyday Filipino dishes is wonderful!!! You make me a proud Filipino chef...pls let me guide you for other dishes when you come and visit the Philippines again
Enjoyed watching your filipino food shows all the time. Not all restaurants will cook same quality but you really know which eatery would cook the best! Which is amazing beause to actually understand & appreciate filipino cuisine you have to go to a reputable famous filipino restaurants. Not everyone can cook real pinoy authentic food especially if its not fresh native ingredients, even native charcoals make a big difference on smoked bbq.
It's lunch time here in the Philippines, I'm already hungry and don't have food yet... why did I open this video???!!! It made me more hungrier!!! But I'm happy and proud seeing you loving our food mikee. Kudos to the filipino community there 👍👌❤
Im from the PH and ive never heard/watched someone appreciate the Filipino cuisine as much as this man did. Hats off, sir!
I miss Pinas! Greetings from The Netherlands 😊
Pinoy Planet - I love your videos.
Hara Lingayan aww thank you so much!! 😊 I will do my best to cook many more Filipino dishes!

Tinola is the best. I actually prefer it more than Sinigang.

I'm blessed to have a filipino momma-inlaw who love to show me how to cook. Best food ever!

As a part Filipino this episode makes me happy. More people need to try our dishes they are amazing.
I agree with you fatty food and salty food, amazingly super deadly...
Make you happen?
Or you mean happy? 😂
The same I agree as well and I'm Filipino but American by birth. Proud to be Filipino.
Filipino food is slept on
Yeah bit salty because we only eat dish just like 35% and the rest are rice.
Mike : uploads a video with filipino food
Filipino viewers: so you have summoned us...

I’ve been married to a Filipina for 40 years and love the food!
James O'Connor wow!
James O'Connor Congratulations and thank you for the amazing reply Sir Joseph Bar Paulo Moises.
Love the food only?!
Sisig is my favorite Filipino dish. I can't get enough of it.
Also, it's so damn Filipino that a tita is serving their food from a house and not an actual restaurant. Lol.
Thanks for making a research on our food! Btw Tapsilog stands for
Tap - TAPa (Smoked Meat)
Si - SInangag (Garlic Rice)
Log - itLOG (Egg)
So the vegies were just a bonus 👍
log means.egg

Mikey you’re really opening the doors of food opportunities to us Seattle natives! Honestly THANKS 🙏🏻
I'm lucky enough that I live in a neighborhood where there's a local canteen that sells sisig every other day. One of the best dishes ever!
It's literally 1am for me and I've never been so freaking hungry in my life up until I saw this video

You know it's good when Mikey keeps shaking his head after each bite😂
Soooo true.🤣
veronica castillo his positive expression of satisfaction 😍👌👍
Filipino food is so underrated!!
because it has so variants, no identity.
Mikey enjoying sisig puts a smile on my face
Why??
I love philipino foods too! I miss the chicken mang inasal its the best!!!

Thank you for promoting Filipino food. It inspires me to do the same !
"The final of the lunches before dinner." Gotta hope Mikey makes it without starving,
Was just about to comment along the same lines 😂
Aahahhaa, his stomach always has room for more!
I want to see him do an eating challenge so bad
His second stomach is starving alright. Lol
Thanks so much for your Spotlight on Filipino food! As a Filipina, I wish our food Is more popular here in the US so thanks for highlighting some of the yumminess!!! Sooo good! Sisig is definitely one of my favorites! Hopefully jollibee opens up soon so you can go back there 😉
Taking a break from eating... by eating. Classic Mikey.
First time I heard, "food break", and "food break, but also eats dessert" lol! Mike you're my food buddy!
Mike: I'm here for Filipino food
Also Mike: Proceeded to get an Italian Meatball Sub
Eh Filipino Italiano. Potato potato
@@joshpittman1982 if that's the case then Italians shouldn't get mad at Filipino Carbonara lol
Filipinos love Italian food!
Oh you mean Filipino Spaghetti?
Because Filipino Time.
Idk why but Filipino food is underrated!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mike for appreciating our cuisine!
Lechon and sisig are the best pork dishes I’ve ever had. Just a plus that my wife Filipina or I would have never known about these dishes.
Ask your wife about Dinakdakan. It's the cousin of sisig, and another great pork dish.
Michael Gutierrez the Mayo is what makes it on that one. Good as well.
if I was Mike's grandma, he'd be my favorite grandchild cos he eats really well and he makes me want to give him more food hahahaha
Mikey looking at his food like "How YOU doin'?"
"And welcome to your knew home, my stomach"
Filipino food probably one of the most underrated cuisines. Food influenced by different countries, can’t go wrong. Mike keep doing your thing!! Your bring positivity through your content, especially during these times.
When Filipino food makes Mike enjoy eating vegetables
This just made me proud lol
As a Filipino avid fan of Mike Chen, this made me so happy. I’m glad you enjoyed our cuisine!
I'm glad Filipino cuisine is getting a lot more attention and recognition that it deserves
still underrated
Filipino cuisine is probably the worst compared to other Asian cuisine. Their food is unhealthy and plus their use of vinegar in most dishes.
@G Lazarus For someone who grew up with vegetable dishes from northern 🇵🇭 I can't relate.
I just felt really happy for he appreciates Filipino food and enjoys it a lot. Mabuhay tayo mga Pilipino❤✊
Yep, definitely call the series "on the hood."
In between food- also food.
If only my stomach can handle taking eating breaks by eating.
I truly love your appetite especially when you’re eating the Filipino food. I’m a Filipino who is based in Maryland USA.
seeing you crave for our dishes makes us filipino proud..
hoping to see you again eating in the streets of roxas in davao..
blessed day to you mike

I love how the eating break is actually just to get some dessert😂same
Glad you are featuring Filipino food! It’s really good and doesn’t get enough recognition on social media. You should try Filipino spaghetti next time 😍
True, I miss the food my sister in law made
He did when he was in the Philippines but I think only the McDonalds & Jollibee spaghetti
Im Filipino and I miss the Filipino spaghetti 😞
Nxx yup as a Pinoy I definitely watched every single video of his in the Philippines from the night markets, seafoods, Davao, Tagaytay, Chinatown Mcdo, Jollibee and Buffets 👍🏽
Did he ever had Kinilaw or Chicharon Tilapia?
"I've always said if I could have superpowers it would a 100% be teleportation, I mean can you imagine... today I'm in a mood for Chinese Food... Mmm... today I want Ramen I'll teleport to Tokyo and wait 5 hours"... took a bite.

Never drooled in the intro of one of his videos before, until now.
You must have a really unique taste. Most of his food videos make me drool.
i just love watching him eat and give compliments in every food he takes.❤❤ watching from the Philippines. 😊😊😊
I have legit been waiting for this all day. And it's finally here!!!
I just made my own longsilog(longganisa, egg, fried rice) I can eat those the entire day, easy to prep but awesome food, enjoy

Mikey Chen should totally host Man vs Food next. He’s got an iron stomach.
Definitely would watch that. Seems like he has a fast metabolism.
I wanna see a Broccoli episode

My amazing sister in law is Filipino from the Philippines and she cooks the most amazing food I’ve ever had in my entire life it makes me so happy
While thrle sisig is hot you can crack an egg to it and you can mix it
One of my favorite RUclips channels. I always enjoy his exceptional food videos.
Fact: Oriental Mart got a James Beard award this year.

I wanna eat to those places even though I am already here in the Philippines. Deymmm.
Don’t understand why that meatball sub was cut on such a weird diagonal.
It broke apart?
Im thinking that was focaccia?
CXCXCXCXCX no the guy literally cut it weird 💀
Firstname Lastname but why’d he cut it like that?😂
Because he didn't imagine anyone would eat it like a sandwich. I imagine it's a lot easier to eat open faced and shared with friends.
5 ⭐️ ‘s You’re pansit is canton, usually it’s bihon (the noodles). You got me craving for longganisa! 🤤
Not really. Miki is more common for canton than bihon
i've been to Philippines before.. the food indeed is really good.. people are so friendly, i miss philippines
Another perk of being Mike...restaurants staying open a little longer just for you and delivering food to your car 😭
i think its not just because its mike filipino's are usually like that hospitality through and through no matter what >.
“Every single bite of meat that I take, it’s like a love story in my mouth” lol I love it! Your descriptions about food makes me super hungry! Thank you for filming filipino foos in America! 😋
