Ilove how colt is embracing the filipino culture with the open mind its so refreshing to see him colt enjoy together your family . eat food of filipino dishes
Did she just tried to understand the vendor in tagalog? That’s so cool, trying to learn the language. There’s many foreigners vlogging in the philippines and the foreigners who tried to learn to at least understand tagalog for me are thr most genuine foreigners because it takes an effort to learn a new language and showing some sort of effort to do so means they love the country.
I recently visited the Philippines and shared my experiences on my channel, but sadly missed this dining experience. Picking fresh seafood and having it cooked right there seems fun. The locals were so friendly and helpful. I definitely need to try this on my next trip!🇵🇭
What most foreigners don't understand about Filipino cuisine is that with the exception of some western dishes that had been assimilated into the culture, Filipino food is basically one giant Rice Toppings menu. Everything has to go with rice because rice like water acts as the neutralizer, you eat rice to dilute the taste. Is the dish too salty? Eat rice. Too sour? Eat rice. Too bitter? Eat rice. Too sweet? Eat rice. Too spicy and hot? Eat rice. That's why most foreigners find Filipino dishes too salty, sour, sweet or bitter and extreme, because they don't eat rice with it to dilute the taste. Filipino food also isn't heavy on high protein due to the tropical weather, the heat would make you melt under the sun if you have too much high protein in your diet. Those are more apt for countries that have cold winters. For energy, eat rice, they burn off faster and are easier to digest than red meat. Then just add a small portion of protein by eating cubed or bite sized red meat as toppings hence the Filipinos' love for Menudo and Afritada dishes. They're perfect toppings for rice.
When I went to the Philippines for a vacation, I loved the "sinigwelas". The green "sinigwelas" are not yet ripe. The red ones are ripe and very sweet! Next time you see it, pick the red "sinigwelas". Also, try the fruit called "atis" aka "sugar apple". It's green and looks clustered, the white flesh inside is usually a combination of sweet and sour depending on how ripe it is.
You need to do a part 2 of Dampa. Only the Lobster and the chili Crab are the usual orders that I'm glad you got to try. The others are mehhh... The ones that you missed out are large shrimps tempura style, either Crab or shrimps in salted egg sauce, grilled pork belly, steamed fish in Tausi Sauce, Baby Squid Adobo style, baked Cheezy mussels and Yang Chow fried rice or Salted fish fried rice. Hongkong Master Cook or Aling Tonya's restaurant are the best restos to. Have your food cooked. I believe in your first ever video of the Philippines, J suggested you to go to Dampa and you replied that you're definitely putting it in your list. Quite a long time coming.
Great vlog of your very fist dampa experience Lockwoods. I went to the same dampa when I last was in the PI. Only thing my family and I did somewhat different was shop for my seafood and gulay, (negotiated our price from the vendors,) then picked out the restaurant that would make the seafood that we just bought the way that we wanted it prepared. G told you Erin to pick your restaurant first…hummm, then shop hummm. See what makes Asian cooking the best is the different styles and use of flavors. That’s why the restaurant Is selected after you select what you want to eat that night. For example, I wanted my lapu lapu prepared Chinese style steamed with ginger, scallions and light soy. And I knew already how much the cooking fee was going to be. Yeah Phil, get you hands on that fabulous crab and go to town brother. Heck with being all neat. Why do you think they give us bibs and buckets at crab boils here in the states🤣😄
What a food experience. Didn't know that a fresh seafood outdoor market tied to a restaurant can be found in Pasay. Another item in my list to check out. Thank you again for sharing this kind of food experience. Love seafood.
glad that you met them, and that they can show you how we eat several of those kinds of seafood, it's enjoyable to see that you've met a friend who could guide you, that's what we want, every tourist should find a Filipino that doesn't want to take advantage of you to introduce you on our culture and had your backs. Cheers guys, looking forward to your next vlog.
@@livethephilippines I am glad that you don't feel different, as much as possible we want you to feel like this is the extension of your country, and feel at ease.
nice content! i like the way you're immersing yourselves into the local culture by learning and practicing tagalog... it will surely endear you to filipinos all over. 😃❤
Wow! Fascinating day/night folks. I love your video content. New subscriber here. I'm saving up to visit the Philippines assuming I can get time off from work soon. The food looks very delicious and everything in the market looks amazingly fresh. I love squid, but not cooked in its own ink. Looking forward to more of your adventures!
what an awesome experienced, eating good seafoods that will cost me in California an arm and a leg...lol. Many thanks sharing with us, your family outing in Pasay City. God bless
Dampa is a word with not only 1 meaning,depending on the usage... You are correct that it means dry, but another meaning is seaside, which I would say would be more appropriate source of the name where you are at. Since it is near the bay
*_Your daughter's camera shy, I thought you left her in the hotel, lol. Enjoy your stay here in Philippines... and thank you for loving my country._* ♥
i love the content in this video...envy you for the delicious foods you are eating....am impressed with how Colt is so articulate...missing Brooklyn....
Thanks! Ya, Brooklyn is at an age where she’s making choices for herself and we don’t want to force her to be on camera if she doesn’t want to. But she’s actually feeling more and more like vlogging with us lately so she’s in upcoming episodes. And she loved our Sydney visit on Always Be Changing 🤗
16:29 The one below are Santol.. You have to try them when you see those again, its one of my favorite filipino fruits :) Also, amazing Dampa food tour. Its good to take someone with you, because you have to be experienced with seafood to choose the right one. Because you can also just bring some seafood in yourself, has to be not even from there. I like the concept in general. I often walk trough wet markets and think "Hey that sounds interesting! But I dont know how to prepare it". The "bring your own ingredients" concept is fun
The original Dampa place is in Paranaque also in Metro Manila. It is the go to place to celebrate an occasion like birthday or anniversary before the eat all you can and the Korean samyupsal became popular 😊👍
Plain white steam rice is best for seafood. It will make the seafood dishes more flavorful. Garlic rice is great for breakfast only with your Tocino( sweet pork belly) mussels is my favorite, clams are good with glass noodles and calamari is best when grilled till it turns purple ❤❤❤dipped in vinegar with sili and cucumber 😊thanks for sharing.👍🏽😋🌞
❤EATING AT Dampa' is a once-in-a-life-time experience - live fresh seafood galore rarely available in the wet markets. With my youngest son and my care-giver, I enjoyed "curacha" (pink crab from the deep sea) most available in Zamboanga at P350/kilo, prawns, and sea shells! Wow! God is good! Praise God! You should try our local fruits (jackfruit, marang, durian, atis, avocado) rarely found in grocery stores galore! Peace and joy! 🇵🇭🙏🏻👏⭐️🎉
OMG, that is so cool you don’t pay the food until you get done eating wow 😮 I love that idea, i will look for that place next time we go back to the Philippines 🇵🇭 thanks for sharing and enjoy
Looks like you enjoyed that experience! And don't sweat the stress; you'll get used to it eventually. Just remember: primary stress on second-to-last or last syllables only, and check if you need to cut the airflow from vowels that end a word!. Otherwise, is it just me or is Brook more content to be in the background for most episodes? Would be nice for her personality to shine a bit through airtime, if she doesn't mind.
@@livethephilippines Can't wait! Currently living in Wisconsin... Just watching your show wants us to go back home! Explore why Siquijor is called the Mystical Island of the Philippines ;)
Hi 👋 I know everyone notices that Brooklyn doesn’t participate as much. We want to give her her freedom to choose if she wants to be on camera or not. We love showing her off to the world but at her age it’s important that she wants it for herself. I think if we’re patient she’ll come around on her own terms. 🤗
Yay! You should 😊 we don’t know what the total was because our friends were so generous to treat us. I do remember that they gave us a good deal on the lobster (3k php)
Now I am seriously craving for those seafoods. I wanna jump on the plane and visit Manila now. LOL. I am just curious, how much did you pay for the whole meal?
Glad you enjoyed your delicious meal!❤ I’m salivating just by looking at it!!! Colt’s special request about his squid dish looks so yummy, he has such a great taste😮 I remember when I was the same age as him, I was quite a picky eater, so exactly the opposite of him hehe it’s amazing how open minded he is with everything Always take care guys :) we miss Brooklyn! Does she have a particular hobby or passion? We’ll love to know more about her too🥰
She is so talented at art! Especially digital art. We’ll try to remember to share more of her work. She’s also the most knowledgeable soon-to-be-13yo in astronomy. 🤗
I love how Colt is embracing the Filipino culture with open arms and open mind. It's so refreshing to see him enjoying our food. ❤️
Open arms 🤗 and our next episode is his favorite experience ever. Plus, he created his own Colt In The Wild episode that will be out shortly after.

You should! And we agree 💯 how friendly and helpful the locals are.
So true - no dish is complete without rice. When I visited the Philippines in December, my guides called rice ‘Filipino power’ 😂
Haha! I like that :)
Rice is a staple food among many Filipinos and even to some other Asian countries as well
.love u guys

Dampa - small house
Like the small houses in the province

The ones in the plastic bottles are Mantis Shrimp. Their "punch" is strong enough to break the aquarium glass, that's why they are in plastic bottles.
wow. I had no idea. thanks for the info, mate!
Oh awesome! I wish I could have told Colt that when we were there. Now we’ll know next time we see that. Thanks 😊
Now we know.😅😅

No. She was with us. She just didn’t want to participate in the vlog and that’s ok. We want it to be their choice.
@@livethephilippines *_Yes I noticed that because she was not in the entire video except for the behind the scenes._*

We saw you guys from our Grab when we were headed to Airbnb in Uptown Parksuites on Monday. We’ll say hi if we run into you while here.

We had the best hosts 🤗 we would have been lost without them.
Next time you can try sweet chili crab or peppered crabs. The grilled squid is also best eaten with some garlic vinegar. Nice experience for you. 😊😋👍

If she wants one we’ll support her. We want being on camera to always be her choice.
That looks so delicious, can’t beat seafood, have a good day guys
Thank you! You too!
Haven't eaten in a Dampa in a long while now. Good that you were able to experience it. :)
It was a great experience 😊
Filipino stall and store names are unique and funny. Take for example this one, "Zeny's Crabs".
Hi nice seeing your family ❤️
Hello 😊
WE LOVE YOU! ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Y’all going to be a rice lover like us 😂 I’m happy y’all enjoying the Philippines, makes me miss my country so much ♥️
Rice goes with everything 😊

Amazing food trip 😊👍
fresh fish... ahhhh yum
You made me terribly homesick! 😩
Ohhh so sorry. We hope you get to visit home soon
Happy Eating, 🤣👍🏻❤🇵🇭🏝🚣🏻♀️
Thank you 😋
We will definitely visit this restaurant when we visit in December! ❤. How much did the whole dinner cost? Thanks!
Yay! You should 😊 we don’t know what the total was because our friends were so generous to treat us. I do remember that they gave us a good deal on the lobster (3k php)
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦👍
Hello in Canada 👋
Try Seascape Village also in Pasay. It’s like Dampa but way cleaner. I find that the cost is more or less the same.
Oh cool. Thanks!
Kudos to Cole for trying everything I have a 16 years old and he’s not that brave 😂😂😂❤
love it
I ❤ dampa. So fresh so delicious🎉
I'm hungry seeing these foods 😭🥰🥰
So good! 😊
Now I am seriously craving for those seafoods. I wanna jump on the plane and visit Manila now. LOL. I am just curious, how much did you pay for the whole meal?
We honestly don’t know. Our friends were so generous to treat us 🫶
Try the original Lechon in La Loma ( Mila's Lechon ,Lydia's Lechon & Ping Pings Lechon ) 30 - 45 minutes away from BGC
Ah, Colt you made me laugh (lobster) 😂 thank you ❤. I enjoyed watching this video. Y'all got me so hungry (I am on a diet!) lol.
Poor guy went in too early. At least he still loved it 🤗
I can taste it from here all the food that you guys are eating 😂😂. Enjoy ❤
So good! :)
Nice guy♥️👍🏾🇮🇹
Glad you enjoyed your delicious meal!❤ I’m salivating just by looking at it!!! Colt’s special request about his squid dish looks so yummy, he has such a great taste😮 I remember when I was the same age as him, I was quite a picky eater, so exactly the opposite of him hehe it’s amazing how open minded he is with everything
Always take care guys :) we miss Brooklyn! Does she have a particular hobby or passion? We’ll love to know more about her too🥰
She is so talented at art! Especially digital art. We’ll try to remember to share more of her work. She’s also the most knowledgeable soon-to-be-13yo in astronomy. 🤗
Good job on eating seafood at Pasay. Btw try watching a basketball game live as a family or try visiting Star city. Highly recommended for the family.
Thanks for the tips! 😊
