Lots of Asian restaurants around the world were being associated with the virus and people were not eating there due to ignorance. Racist comments or jokes about the virus will be deleted. With xenophobia and racism at an all-time high, let's make this a safe space where we can still enjoy Asian food and culture.

I live in Los Angeles and its so sad because in the 626 area word of the coronavirus scare is closing my favorite dimsum and asian food places. Thanks for making videos like this to showcase and appreciate asian food/culture!
Also here in the Netherlands, a few weeks back, I was buiying bobba tea (or was it taro taro) from an Vietnamese stall, there Whas a groep of Asians sitting there, and some youngsters bycycled by and said: " he bah corona!" At loud Which means "he yuck corona!" It felt very bad. My product I bought was tasty and did not make me sick. I also often buiy belgian fries in the same ally, it's like a small "china ally", but they are not all from China.
@@CupofTJ Here in NY too. Awful that all these businesses are hurting. Hate crimes here but thankfully they've made some arrests. The ignorant and racist comments online just keep coming. I wonder about the residual effects, like when Asians are traveling abroad a year later, 5 years later, etc. Will Asians still be targeted for this?
This is the first video I've seen of yours since the Google commercial was aired. Congrats on the national publicity of your channel. It's well deserved. 😃😃😃
@@ramgupta6280 Here is the link to TJ's part of the commercial ua-cam.com/video/mfyY8scSTF4/v-deo.html The main commercial is called Google Find Your Scene. FYI it also includes another great UA-camr I follow called Adam the Woo he's the one that says "Ralphie lived here". Enjoy 😃
Cool vid. My wife is Filipina and I have tried most of these foods. But I have not tried Kuchay-Ah pie. Looks great. We couldn't get to the Phils this summer because of the pandemic, but I'll make my way to Binondo next year and find Kuchay-Ah pie. Tagahanga!
The whole time growing up in Metromanila, I've only been once in Binondo to eat as it was considered uncool place. Now all I want to do is when I visit the Philippines again, Binondo will be on top of my list.
Hey TJ! First, you are so adorable and witty! Ho-Land hopia, #2 Kikiam, #6 Chicken pie, and #10 Kuchay-Ah, brought back precious memories and nostalgic yummy-ness! Thank you!
I'm 45km from Manila but since Pandemic can't venture to Divisoria/Binondo area. I like to eat the lumpia.. so big and tasty. The good one is with chili..😋
I'm very happy with this episode, seeing how you enjoyed the food I grew up with. My best food combination is Kiampong rice and Pork Asado or Beef Stew.
Really like what you are doing. Everything you tried looked really yummy better then most food videos I’ve been seeing. Found you from best ever food review. Something good.
I'm supposed to be in Taipei last month to try some food that you featured there, but due to the outbreak, i have to cancel plans and refund "almost" everything. I guess i have to wait 'til the next cool breeze to be there, (and hoping to say hi to you) Thank you TJ for featuring and supporting Filipino-Chinese Food. My gahd, it makes me want to go back to food tripping in Binondo. Again, salamat TJ.
1. Shanghai Fried Siopao for only 22! Will try that when we travel binondo. Mahihiya ang 7/11 Siopao na walang laman for their 35 price. 2. You should have tried Wai Ying’s Hakaw, Beef Wanton Mami, and Hong Kong milktea hot/cold. thanks, K, bye! 🤪
8:00 that yellow/green stuff is pickled mangoes aka burong mangga. Try that next time, it's very delicious! Also, there's champoy encased in candy. The sweetness counteracts the sour! Also very delicious haha.
I know you ate good food because I grew up there . Kikiam with steamed rice is so good and fresh lumpia is just my fave. I love the different hopia we can eat there.I especially like the pork hopia and I know there is also one with mango filling.Thanks for sharing this video.
im glad you tried Holland hopia. That's my all time favorite childhood snack. Best eaten when freshly baked or heated a few seconds on the microwave, yum!
Tried nearly everything you ate. 🤣 But i'd want you to try Eng bee tin's salted egg yolk lava pao, and soup no.5 of cafe mezanine. And yes to collab with Strictly Dumpling! More power! 😉❤️
Hello, Each time I listen to your vlog for a long time, your personality makes me laugh to forget my worries every day! From Quebec city, Canada see you soon!💙
Nakakatuwa naman to. I went to the same store just few days ago and it was close. i made a vlog about that but not uploaded yet. haha. i don't known when are they opening.
Missing you and your awesome vlogs from Shihpai (石牌) here in Beitou, Taipei. Wow, the dishes in Manila's Chinatown are somewhat similar to what we have in Taiwan, but also different. I notice the food is more of the classic style that you see in Hong Kong and other parts of China. Oh, the stuff with Ube looks yummy! Nope, I don't think we don't have that here although we do have dishes and snacks that use taro (芋頭). Hope you are enjoying the Philippines! Although I was born and raised in Taiwan, I did spend a few years in Manila. Btw, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, do you have to self-quarantine when you arrive back in Taipei? Unlike China, Hong Kong, and some other countries, I think the Philippines is not a high risk area, right? Anyways, God bless and be safe, TJ! 😁💕
Ube is oftentimes confused with Taro but they are totally different. Ube is only grown in the Philippines and it's used to flavor different desserts as well. Hope you can try!
@@James1230 correct indeed - Ube is Yam, (purple yam for the ube hopia, etc.) a starchy tuber (Dioscorea alata) very closely related to white-fleshed yams. Taro (Colocasia esculenta) we called gabi, spelled the same for the translation of night but pronounced differently.
TJ, I lost it when the guy at 8:37 let you eat the whole Kiamoy. It was like super sour and salty. Hahaha please don't eat something *unfamiliar* on one bite. 🤣🤣🤣
So, you actually had the sauces mixed up in the beginning. Filipinos eat fried chicken with brown gravy. The other sauces were for the kikiam. I'm. also so glad that you had Ho Land Hopia. The first hopia you had was the OK hopia lol.
@@randazoo if thats last year ok. But i doubt it the background tells us that it was just recently like 2-3 weeks. Binondo is a crowded place but look at her background very few people.
I subscribed because your so interesting to watch! Simply but natural and your so cute reacting of course if it's your tasting the food...More Power and Goodluck! 😘🥰😍🌹🌷
I been to Manila 2 times and didn't even know they had a Chinatown. I need to get out more! Will definitely visit on my next trip to Manila. I hope later this year. Fingers crossed. So frustrating not being able to book travel now.
How did you not know that? It's among the eldest Chinatown in the world. But if you're American, they may not welcome you 'cause the Chinese don't like Americans.
An amazing video TJ 🤗..I love when you do the top foods ..My favorite was the fried chicken 🍗 dipped In the gravy totally delicious ❤️I love your channel ..x

@bang your head its pretty high. it will get worst for sure in the next few weeks. traveling in Asia always been cheap though =P
I still support Chinese restaurants. Even though many are empty these days.

That is such a shame to hear :( it is the same here in New York. Ty for supporting 🙏🏻
The same is true of all Chinatowns in North America and not just restaurants but all Asian retail. Some businesses have lost at least 50-70% revenue.
I do food reviews in LA. You're practically my next door neighbor!
Also here in the Netherlands, a few weeks back, I was buiying bobba tea (or was it taro taro) from an Vietnamese stall, there Whas a groep of Asians sitting there, and some youngsters bycycled by and said: " he bah corona!"

While you're in Binondo try the nostalgic Grand Cafe 1919 near Jones Bridge

Was waiting for you to do a binondo food crawl. :) glad you filmed before the outbreak. :)
Ohhhh yummy😮 looks good ! I am taking a trip to Manila I can wait to try...

Filipino/Chinese here! We all can survive COVID19 we are bigger than that virus! Lets help each other and pray! Stay safe everyone!
I lived in my manila for 25yrs yet i haven't tried eating in binondo. Definitely will try some of the dishes after the lockdown.
I know you ate good food because I grew up there . Kikiam with steamed rice is so good and fresh lumpia is just my fave. I love the different hopia we can eat there.I especially like the pork hopia and I know there is also one with mango filling.Thanks for sharing this video.

Yay Indonesian Tofu! Indonesians here...:)
Glad I found this channel.. Binge watching your videos during quarantine :)

It's not surprising since the majority of Chinese who first came to the Philippines were from the south of China, the majority of whom speak Hokien.
Ube is oftentimes confused with Taro but they are totally different. Ube is only grown in the Philippines and it's used to flavor different desserts as well. Hope you can try!
It's much more similar to Taiwan than China nowadays.

Me too. I miss those. That one in Chinatown is THE BEST.

i use to eat this candy that had like a clear honey coating on the outside and the sour plum on the inside. so good!
