Exploring QUIAPO's Famous Food And Market (Walking In Manila)
Вставка

- TODAY, I DON'T HAVE A MOTORBIKE WITH ME.
I'm going to walk around one of Manila's famous districts called Quiapo - but when I rode the Pasig River Ferry (avoiding the traffic!) I realised that I left my spare batteries behind!
So that's mission number one in Quiapo Market - after getting lost in the opticians and finding the classic Excellente Ham and Kim Chong Tin hopia next door!
I found the battery - and then headed straight past all kinds of power tools on sale to try Globe Lumpia's fresh lumpia - and it was worth it!
After some coffee I headed to Quiapo's less famous church; made from prefabricated steel in the 1890s, this is a marvel of engineering!
Onwards to neighbouring Mandaluyong where I visit Tanveer's Restaurant - his Pakistani food is as great as ever!
And then... well... let's be shocked. Why not.

I grew up in Quiapo until my family emigrated to the U.S. in 1975. I lived in Cruzada Street off Legarda. I also attended elementary school in San Sebastian College whose basilica you visited. Brought back many memories. The church exterior looks dilapidated with rust; I hope it gets restored to its glory. Back then, there was no mosque. Now it seems that there is a sizable amount of Muslims in the area. I envision Quiapo turning into a primarily Muslim district someday. Quiapo Church square looks much neater, but the chaos around the perimeter remains. I recognized Mercury Drug, a few historical houses, and the jeepneys. The rest all look new to me. I’m glad you had a great time in my old district and thank you for sharing your adventure with your viewers.
Wow, how times change! Yes the Golden Mosque was built in 1976 but that area is only around 4 blocks or so. It's still relatively small but very friendly and some great food (I'll have to go back!)
They were doing some work on the dome of San Sebastian Church... Hope the whole church can be restored!
A ham sandwich -how British is that! 😂
The churches in the Philippines are just so amazing! I had no idea there was one built from metal in Manila-this is why we all love your videos and what they show us. Glad the sickness didn't last long 😊🏴🇵🇭
Most British thing I've done in ages! Haha
What haha! Love how you met up with Susie in Phils and her hubby and Kumar! 😁
Thank you for the BGC tour we had the best expert guide! 😁😁
@@SusieinthePhilippines 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@KumanderDaot Being a guide is like being a teacher. You just need to know a little more than the person you're guiding/teaching to be considered an expert (and never let on that you're not as smart as they think you are). Take it from someone who substitute taught for 10 years. Haha!🤣
@@christopherturco197 hahaha I like this logic!
Sariwang lumpia in Quiapo is famous..so delicious😊
I watch your vlog because you feature the reality of the Philippines and there is no filter which I am most impressed that you did not limit yourself of the places you visited. Thank you or Salamat
Wonderful camera work with progressive editing and definitely a nice documentary framework ambiance. Excellent use of natural lighting, that is a very good plus when on the move. Have fun, KD. Enjoy kulas and Therine wedding.
KD you should feature a vlog riding the MRT and the LRT. You can show beautiful locations of Metro Manila.
Thanks KD for showing Quiapo. Brings back good memories when I studied BSEE at Feati University. Missed hopia at Echague and fresh lumpia.
The steel vaulted ceilings are amazing,great video..
Kumander you should have tried the mongo hopia in echaque hopia bakery in quiapo,too.
I always enjoy seeing the Philippines thru your eyes. There's something about the way you record and present it that is so appealing.
All the heritage buildings and the beautiful churches are something to behold - traces of Metro Manila of the past. And all the power lines that were run through the building to the homes on the other side.🤯 That's always fascinating and surprising to see. Who'd have thought you'd go to BGC so many times in such a short span when you hadn't be there before just a few weeks ago?
some years ago,I took a round trip on Pasig River Ferry as part of my work.
The round trip last longer than my work but it's all worth it. Hope to bring my child with me soon on that ferry trip
Thanks Kumander for showing Quiapo. I can't remember the last time I was there. Loooooong time. It's changed a lot. Much better than the last time. I can't wait to go back and see it again. I used to go to Quiapo Church. Salamat Po.
Yes, Ty Anselm, so interesting to view the church & learn its corrugated metal from Belgium. I’ve viewed it before online, but never knew these facts. Nor of the UNESCO worries. Maybe I will look into that some more….Ty also for the great editing: walking street level, or cruising the river level, then seamlessly Bird’s Eye view. Just where one would appreciate a drone’s eye. & Ty for ALL THE SNACKING. Merienda Man. I would’ve gone with the mungo…or Ube hopia. Your friends’ establishment, YUM! 💜Chana masala & anything ground beef; & Ty for pointing out the cool pinwheel texture & method to create it. 🫓Your friends truly love you. They take good care of you.
Oh my! I paused to comment & as I restart the video: there are Susie & Jonathan! Wowieee! Luv seeing y’all together.🤩🤩🤩No reason but that I’m Fangurling. FanVintageGurling. BIG TIME. Thanks!
Oh no, sorry to hear you were ill a bit. I gotta say I wondered early in this video while enjoying all your snack stops (as I frequently wonder for Susie, too), how is it your stomachs are so resilient. Mine never was in my visits to the Philippines, even when my tummy was a young woman’s tummy. But to be fair, my stomach didn’t fare well in Mexico either. ❄️🍽️
Excellent narrating 👏 you really have found your niche in life mate 👍
@@andylightfoot9014 thanks mate! Hope all's well back in blighty
I was born and bred in Manila, but left in 1984. At this point in my life, the only thing I really miss about Manila is that lumpia from Globe. Wish I could make it. Thanks for the memory!
Excellent adventure, mate! Now you need a little R&R.
I love that there are still horse driven caretelas
I’m only 5 minutes into this video and enjoying it. I love the drone footage and narration you add, KD! Really makes me miss my birthplace! Love how you show the foods, the markets, the streets, love hearing the sounds of the city! Wonder if you’ll vlog Kulas and Therine’s wedding? Looking forward to it if so! 🫶🏼🌞
Nice that you're vlogging in the Big Smoke nowadays, KD. How's your calamansi plantation by the way? Enjoy & stay safe in stormy season. 🎉🥰☔🌧👍
Kummander is my idol, I remember when he walked off with the pig head during a Filipino party, I love it.
Thank you, K. Daot..exploring Quiapo brings me back those days...college days...though not exactly in that busy, remarkable Quiapo ..but I passed by there just because of the traffic.. Amping always!
Honestly, I avoid watching any vlogs about Manila. But yours, I can watch and appreciate!
Hi KD, I see I have a lot of new vids to watch, I was in vacay to different parts of of the country like you but nowhere near your adventures. I like my adventures with comfort. Looking forward to watching ypur unique travel vlogs.
Kumander if you are in quiapo, try lumpia sariwa. Located at globo bldg near overpass going to raon.
Anselm, What you've featured is the San Sebastian Basilica.
Thank you Kumander Daot,I’ve been walking and passing along the vicinity of quiapo for almost 18 years during my college days.💞💞💞🇵🇭🇯🇵
Last time I was in Quiapo was in 2005 . Glad they cleaned it up.
Nice one! That church is really epic indeed. I wanted to see it a couple of years ago but it didn’t transpire. Enjoy your time there! 😊
WOW your here Anslem in Metro Manila.....just enjoy and take care...hope to bump into you...
great video kumander🔥
Excelente the famous Chinese Christmas Ham. Saw you with Susie, Jonathan and Kumar. Was in the area that day. 9 high school classmates met a classmate who went home from Australia. We were at TGI Fridays.
Stay safe and God bless you Kumander Daot...Enjoy your tour of Quiapo with a friend...
The chaos in Quiapo is insane.
Wow KD I work there before!I remember all the stree the buildings when I was there! Ingat KD
You shd check next along Carriedo, AMIS. Superb food. I miss that place. I grew up there in Sta. CRUZ area.
7:23 "You know what that is" I laughed so hard that I spilled my beer. DAOT NA!!!
I love quiapo, when i am in manila i always stay there. Like 1 minute from quiapo church! Love the area and the people! Only times i been makati was to go belgian embassy for my marriage paper things. Wish i was there so i could meet you haha !
3:40 Pairs well with ... "Ham On Rye" by Charles Bukowski!
stay safe idol god bless kumander daut....🇵🇭
Always fun watching Kumander Daot adventures.
I'm not familiar with Quiapo. Thanks for this video.
The san sebastian church is said to be built by Eiffel
TANVEER will look for it and try❤
I can't believe Kumander walked right by Jollibee's and didn't go in...
LOL😂
Once you become a Local, you won't be looking at Jollibee as an "Attraction" anymore, it would rather become an "Essential".
Kumander Daot amping.
OMG, Kumander, get well soon! That's why I never allow myself to get tempted to buy those colourful drinks from side walk vendors. Well, I did once about 3 years ago, I bought a coconut drink. Thankfully, I didn't get sick. But I was disappointed with the flavour. The coconut juice tasted like sweetest water.
In all these years of drinking everything I see this is the first time haha... I'll be more careful in the future!
You should do a fiesta vlogg kummander, each barangay in the Philippines, kind of like a food vlogg
Quiapo was different back in the 80s & 90s. Your wallet, camera or phone will be gone in 15 seconds.😁😬🤣
Maganda pala ang Quiapo kapag gabi
5:50 Fruit n Vegetable sold by ... what?
You can try going to tagaytay, really tourist friendly places
I think the TS trash skimmer is one of our club projects
Maayong buntag KD.., amping👍💪
Can't wait to see you at the wedding AMPING !!!
Madumi jan sa quiapo mga panindang pagkain
Welcome to Manila, KD and Kumar! Yeah!
See you guys soon!
Good lord, Manila is a mess!! I don't know how foreigners manage to weave thru Quiapo. Hope you're feeling better Kumander!
0:23 Knees not pressed against seat in front? On-air Asia? Must be an Exit Row!

Nahhh, pasig river is dirty and again. I wish Duterte is back to get things fixed again. Even the Manila Bay is back dirty too. Whata sad and painful view... 😢😢
mango latte looked dodgy.
