6:36 Indonesian here. Up until this video came out, I thought that the bowls with the rooster motif are only used in Indonesia. Turns out they're commonly used in the Philippines as well! Shout out to our neighbor next door! 🇮🇩🇵🇭
I grew up with a Filipina best friend and her amazing mom taught me how to make lumpia, chicken adobo, and pancit💗 She also was a second mother to me because my mom left when I was 8 yrs old. I was so blessed to have her in my life. I love you so much Mumma Teresita💗💗
Thanks for sharing us your story. When you ,by any chance come visit the Philippines, i would love to extend that hospitality and love of the filipino culture. Let me know. Take care!
I'm living in Dubai which has a huge Filipino community. They are one of the most helpful and kind people. Always willing to help and have smile on their faces 😊🇵🇭🇦🇪
I'm from Israel, and there are many Filipino immigrants here. Every weekend they all gather in an improvised food market in the old Tel Aviv central center, to eat, drink and chat. It's one of my favourite places in Tel Aviv, always reminds me of the kindness of Filipinos and southeastern Asians❤
G'day from Australia! I had the pleasure of visiting the Philippines and let me tell you, it was ace! The people there are top blokes and sheilas - so friendly and hospitable. And the food - crikey! Palabok and Adobo were fair dinkum delicious. The culture and scenery are also bonza - from the stunning beaches to the bustling cities. The Philippines truly has it all. Can't wait to visit again soon!
@@KenMikaze LOL... Dinkum means Genuine or Authentic. Crikey is a Brits slang for Surprise. And Bonza is an Australian slang for Bonzer, meaning Awesome or Excellent. 😃
Growing up in the 90s people would have such a negative stereotype of Filipino food. Now, you see Filipino restaurants popping up all over Chicago. My culture's food has become a trend, but I'm thankful people are finally opening up to trying it. Thank you for giving it more exposure.
I've been visiting the States, specifically California, since I was a kid, and I think the problem before was that there weren't enough good Filipino restaurants thats why Filipino food got a bad reputation. Not to belittle those Filipino restaurants, but many of them had owners who were probably not good cooks, nor have skills in managing a restaurant. I mean, not anybody can be a restauranteur. Maybe many of them decided on a Filipino restaurant just to make a living in the States but it wasn't really their thing. Whenever we go and eat at a subpar Filipino restaurant, I always think how the Filipino food is being misrepresented and how its a missed opportunity to show other people what our cuisine can truly offer. Filipino food is excellent and can rival the other Asian cuisines. The flavors and variety of our cuisine is amazing. How I wished then that Filipinos in the States who know how to really cook (and there are many) would start their own restaurants and offer better Filipino food. Thank God, now, like you've said, many new Filipino restaurants of good caliber have opened. Hopefully it gives Filipino food the much needed respect.
I’m so glad you didn’t feature well known Filipino dishes like adobo, lumpia, and sinigang but more obscure but very delicious cuisine from my home country. Thanks for showcasing Philippine food to the world!
@@skyral4137 ur asian or not u have to taste all of the flavors man if u just eat if the versions its not the best but the others are the best just try it
This is soooo true...here in the states....they said filipino food are underrated....but every potluck...that I go to....the filipino food are always the one ones that runs out first...I remember....some of my coworkers...neighbors and their friends....always ask do you have more of the filipino food......REPRESENT.....
I want to eat at these places! 😂 I’ve been to Quiapo and Binondo many times and I plan to return next month. It’s funny how the Philippines has the greatest soups despite the fact that the weather is so hot. Usually in the states we eat soup on cold days and nights. Lovin this series from my favorite country 👍🏽
To add to that, we tend to eat anything hot and/or spicy and drink piping hot coffee literally in the middle of the day. Don't ask me why, even I don't know. 🤣
There are a number of Filipino restaurants on the west coast of the US. I had many to go to when i was in California. Now I'm in Washington still a good number of places. The best place to eat is at a Filipino's home so good.
I explained this to my husband that us Filipinos treat eating like a hobby or entertainment cause eating is where families and friends gather. It is def a special bond and moment. Unlike other people like my husband he treats it like just nourishment for the body or something that you just “need”. Us Filipinos we treat as “wants” and “loves”. That’s why when a Filipino invites you to a party and fills your plate with food eat it! Even when you’re full lol. Also gives you take away pls take it.
Yes, theres the usual breakfast, lunch, dinner.. Theres morning merienda, around 10am, afternoon merienda at 3pm....then the younger folks might have late night snacks... Rinse, repeat every day....LOL
Oh I miss palabok, been 12 yrs since I had them, even bulalo. I have not eaten squib like that before , that will be in my bucket lists when I go back to the Philippines. Thank you Drew!
I should have one of my Filipino teachers from high school take me around the Philippines when I have the chance. I would love to experience their life there.
Usually if there is a decent sized Filipino community, there will be a restaurant. I think one of the reasons why Filipino food is not really famous is because the way it's usually plated. A lot of it is not visually appealing, but things are changing.
You are right. Some Filipino restauranteurs in the US are lacking in knowledge on how to present Filipino in a way that would appeal to foreigners. Years ago, in San Ramon, California, I entered this small Filipino restaurant that was located in a strip mall lined with different Asian restaurants. It was a sad sight because the owner didn't know how to manage a restaurant. Everything was poorly presented, the decor of the restaurant was uninviting, and even the staff was lethargic. Even if they had good food, you wouldn't get to know it because you wouldn't eat there in the first place. I myself quickly made a u-turn out the door. Fortunately, I've been hearing about many new Filipino restaurants opening up in the States nowadays. Many of them are being opened by Filipinos from the Philippines who have knowledge in running restaurants (or a business, in general). They are mostly young entrepreneurs who have the necessary skills and knowhow. I heard great reviews about their restaurants. I hope the trend continues and good Filipino food is enjoyed by many in the US.
all these are just in Manila so far and coincidentally just the noodle based food. There are thousand more islands with their distinct cuisines. looking forward to more parts/episodes coming. i think a part of what makes it underrated is because each region have their own taste preferences, its not easy to say "these" are what makes it filipino food.
Pinoy cuisine is like a mix between Asian and Spanish cuisine plus the uniqueness of their indigenous cuisine, all those cuisines are fantastic, mixed up together and you have an spectacular cuisine.
awesome. i have something to look forward to now with these episodes! and also when i go visit the philippines again! getting hungry watching this even tho i just had dinner lol
Top 10 Filipino Foods that I, a filipino myself, would DEFINITELY recommend. 10. Sinigang (a sour stew, sometimes with usbong, a type of leaf that gives flavor) 9. Adobo (a salty stew with lots of vinegar and soy sauce) 8. Giniling (ground meat with carrots and potatoes) 7. TORTANG (Fried) Giniling (an egg battered giniling patty that is basically the improved version of giniling) 6. Lumpiang Shanghai/Toge/Ubod (spring rolls with meat and vegetables) 5. Nilaga (which literally translates to boiled, its a stew with cabbage and corn with meats like pork or beef) 4. Pancit Bihon (gelatin noodles usually included with Lechon Kawali, which is fried pork and vegetables) THE TOP 3 (these hit hard) 3. BULALO (which you've already tried) 2. CHICHARON (the best snack which can actually serve as a meal) 1. P A L A B O K (you know why.)
Japanese here I'd love to visit Philippines someday☺️ Great food, fresh fruits, nice people Thanks to your videos I learn a lot more about locals (and real spoken English I'm leaning hard these days >∆
I just observed that when He Posted about Philippines, I'm expecting his viewers would increase, then look at his new post, it's still early but yet this video got almost 400k views unlike hes previous vids, you can see how supportive Filipinos are, 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you Drew for promoting Filipino Food. It's not important how it looks like or how it's plated, damn it, just eat & change your perception!!! Happy eating guys
Love your food tour of the Philippines. Describing mami as “socks” or “feet” was not really the best way to sell that dish hahaha I saw a documentary about this 100 year old shop …pre WWII…in Quiapo…that sells Hopia that are wood fire baked. Must be delicious too.
That 'socks' comment was inappropriate. Mr. Chui, next time do better please. I've eaten at Masuki (they have other branches, even in some malls) and at its cousin restaurant Ma Mon Luk , which is older. Their broth and noodles is not really luxurious. You can say that its even a commoners' noodle soup because it was indeed a commoners' noodle soup. It was started by Mr. Ma Mon Luk way before World War 2. He peddled it in the streets, carrying the tins filled with noodles and soup. It is not luxurious in taste compared to, say the Hong Kong noodle soups in most Chinese restaurants in Manila, but they have this flavor that makes it like a comfort food - nothing fancy but simple goodness. You put some pepper on the soup, some of the sweet sauce of the siopao too, and that noodle soup is banging together with the siopao!
Sinigang will always rain supreme for me when it comes to soups. I'm Korean and Thai so I know my soups and that sourness hits different even growing up with one of the kings of soup tom yum.
People definitely eat bone marrow in American cuisine. It’s been popular in fine dining for a while. A quick google search shows over 50 restaurants in chicago that serve it. It’s full of flavor and a great way for restaurants that break down their own beef to make use of parts that would typically be wasted.
That is because the items that get so much attention and hype are so mundane or ordinary. Most Filipinos do not know what needs to get promoted because they do not anything about what people in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia eat.
new subscriber here!! wow philippines ❤ i hope you can also feature all of the signature dish or unique food frm each of the region or provinces like in bicol region where u can see the perfect coned volcano and almost all of the food are spicy and with coconut milk, in cebu the lechon is wow, in pampanga lots of delicious food too especially sisig with different versions, in pangasinan the is a so called papaitan and many more😊
Thai food, Viet, and Taiwanese food are mostly greens and are healthy which foreigners love. Our food however are fatty, greasy and salty and this is why it is not as well known in some foreign countries.. Yes foreigners will love the taste of our cuisine for their first time but they will probably choose a more healthier dish the next time..
Only in major cities. Provinces have a variety of kinilaw, ginataan and kinds of pakbet. Stop talking trash about your own people. This is why shallow ignorance and disdain of elitists like you cause foreigners to think that our food is subpar.
@@AdlenDelMundo bro u don't know visayan dishes ? my parents are actually vegetarian, u have the option to put meat or not on these dishes but mostly laswa , laswa na puso ng saging, adobong takway, adobong balatong, ginat-an nga gabi, apan-apan and many more can be cooked without meat. believe me or not I've tasted vegetarian binakol, pancit palabok, ubad, chicken curry without chicken 😭(we just used gluten chops), even veggie burgers and more.
@@yu___kt ocge sbhn mo sa foreigner mg request cla sa karinderya nyan. common sense eh. ang tinitinda sa karenderya mostly kht gulay merong bits ng karne.. un utak mo wla sa topic eh. prng di k bumubili sa karenderya eh
2:47 PALABOK is Pinoy's response to Western sphagetti. Its ingredients are the local counterpart of western spices. If you find local sphagetti expect it would be sweet not a little sour as westerners do with tomatoes or sometimes cheap sphagetti uses banana ketchup instead of tomato sauce.
Filipino food will always be an underrated one unless some Filipinos abroad are diligent and creative enough to promote it efficiently(esp. commercially)✌✌✌
Lol I never heard anyone say that Viet food is overrated 😂. And no way western Vietnamese food is better than the one in Vietnam. They are as good or worse because the preparation method is almost identical. I dont know what you ate in Vietnam and in western countries to come to this conclusion.
You should try Ramon Lee panciteria in Ronquillo. Their fried chicken is the best. Well, almost everything , built in 1928 , 5 years more, it will be 100 celebrating 100 years.

Thank you for liking our Filipino food. 🇵🇭 food is underrated because we lack presentation (eye candy).
I Didn't know about this BULALA resto.. need to visit soon!
Filipino food will always be an underrated one unless some Filipinos abroad are diligent and creative enough to promote it efficiently(esp. commercially)✌✌✌
actually, it is those abroad who destroy it to intelligent markets, who demand authenticity rather than manufactured dishes or fusion creations.
great show! thank you for showcasing palabok my favorite ever 😊😊😊
🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🌟❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️
Palabok looks soooo good where is this place in Quiapo?
Vietnamese food is overrated. It’s actually not that good. The westernized cuisine is awesome but the one in Vietnam itself isn’t.
Lol I never heard anyone say that Viet food is overrated 😂. And no way western Vietnamese food is better than the one in Vietnam. They are as good or worse because the preparation method is almost identical. I dont know what you ate in Vietnam and in western countries to come to this conclusion.
@@Gbg23345 I would lovee to tryy viet food🤤
You should try Ramon Lee panciteria in Ronquillo. Their fried chicken is the best. Well, almost everything , built in 1928 , 5 years more, it will be 100 celebrating 100 years.
