Comment edited 3/16 to reflect changes with current state: Hi everyone! This video was filmed before the outbreak. 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. Things are changing very quickly and government is encouraging everyone to stay at home. Hopefully you can still enjoy this video and the yummy food through the screen! We can only hope for better news in the following months. If possible, support local businesses who may be offering delivery at this time. Much love to everyone
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?
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.
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 😃
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! 🤪
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!
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 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.
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.
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! 😉❤️
@@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.
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.
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!
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 love red kiamoy. I sometimes even dip it in sweetened vinegar (overkill) when i get the salty ones. In line with the pickled, fermented, preserved stuff...there's an old (like really old) small grocery there called Bee Tin (not to be confused with Eng Bee Tin). They have this 'dried pork tapa'. It's like their version of jerkies but much much much better. I always get the sweet and spicy variation. It's addicting!. They also have what's called mahu (i think). It's like sweetened pork floss you can eat as is before they got famous as a topping for breads like the one in BreadTalk (another must try though not in Binondo). ^_^
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 almost panicked but my 25 yr old son says " Mom, calm down don't panic we got this. Don't be ignorant like the rest of them" I love my kid! Love your show!! I love all food I just cant afford to go out! LOL.
My friend and I did a foodtrip in there. We visited all the places you went through and ate. Foods are all delicious and prices are cheap. Salute to you for not feeling full after eating too much unlike us 😅 There are restaurants you didn't visit that also offers delicious food ♥️♥️
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!💙
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.
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. 🤣🤣🤣
Me and my mom used to go there when we were kids and shop for hopia and go to eat at restaurants there! Not just it’s tasty it is also very affordable! I like the pork flavoured hopia! More creamy and flaky! Thanks TJ! 🥰👍🏼😊😘
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.

@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!

Manila must be the tastiest sounding capital city name ever. When I hear Manila I imagine tasty food, apart from the fact that it rhymes with Vanilla!
HAHAH YES I have to agree!!
Sarap talaga bumisita sa Chinatown. Ang daming restaurants.
I would like to try everything that you had. It all looks so delicious and tasty especially the fried chicken.😋😋😋😋😋

One thing i really like about the food vlogger, is they really taste and eat the foods. I will try those hopia..

Thanks for featuring philippines in your vlog. It makes me miss my home town more while working overseas.
you're one of the few people who showcased binondo food tour very well
how can people dislike this? this is so drooling to watch 😂
0:36 awe her laugh is so adorable
heh heh heh
It's hard not to love Miss TJ, now, isn't it?
Wow. You really went through the hitlist, here. Well done.
Watching this makes me wish my lola is still alive, she used to bring me to binondo and eat chinese foods.
Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 hope you enjoy your stay here
CupoftJ, you showed what we looking for:
KuChai-ah. And the Indonesian tofu, and
all the soaked 'fruits'
in the jar. We love that.
yay TJ is back :) I wanna try some siopao it looks tasty, and some of those sour things whatever they were :D
Whenever you react "wow or woah" i remember mark weins 😂

Was waiting for you to do a binondo food crawl. :) glad you filmed before the outbreak. :)
I would love to go to Binondo one day! That huge lumpia looks amazing!
And delicious too😋😋😋
Darn....I'm freaking hungry again, just had my dinner. Hello from downunder!
Soo yummy! I wanna jump out of my bed and drive to binondo now! Thank you for the feature! Welcome to PH -even if its pref-filmed! Love your videos!

love the little sounds she makes when she eats.

Kiampong ang Pork Asado 😍😍😍
😮😮 she's cute 😊 so fun watching her eat all those yummy food.
The fresh giant lumpia makes my mouth watery.
A very good place to visit and enjoy your day. There's no place like it!
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 missed you so much, thank you this a new video # I love indonesian tofu. God Bless you and your team and stay healthy

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.
