I grew up in Oakland, I almost 70 years young. I had a Filipino best girlfriend Maria and a Mexican best boyfriend Santos. I have eating ever since then, delicious . Love this show❤️. In fact I made it FOB Restaurant this past weekend. I took my friend from Eureka, Ca. If you haven’t try it, it’s a must try😋.
Nah. It's surface level. I'm pinoy too, btw. Older than YOU and grew up in the (deep) Mission, not the Ex. There are better places than the ones you went to and cheaper and something the old people like me can afford and are used to. Your friend should do more digging and hype places that aren't so trendy. Hell...there's a really good one just across the street from Kelloggs (sic). At this point, the vid looks to me like something that would appeal to mga puti. I think it's a bad assumption because you see Americans visiting back home who are literally eating lugaw and balut on the street in Tondo and are digging it. Yeh...have your friend do better. This is just ornamental and doesn't go deep enough to be inclusive of the greater Filipino experience in America.
The other comments to this ain't it. The point of this video is to foster community and give people an introduction to places and culture they may not have had access to. And the target audience is definitely younger - hence the business owners, artists, and creators that were featured. I also relate a lot to the perspectives in this video being a second generation Filipino American that grew up and still lives here in the bay. Spread love and knowledge and invite people into spaces where they can learn and discover. We already get criticized enough from bitter relatives at Christmas, we don't need to hear it in UA-cam comments too 😂 Perspective videos like this will never give you the full scope of a community, it's literally impossible to fit everyone's stories into one cohesive video. For us, the bay gives Filipinos love and we show it right back. 🤟
Your channel deserves A LOT more subs. Your videos introduced me to diverse food culture in the bay, and I truly appreciate it. I love what you’re doing man keep it up!
Born, raised and still in SF, I love this vid! I'm Chinese, but went to San Jose State and the majority of my sorority sisters are Filipina. I can attest to all the GREAT food at family parties (and when they bust out the Magic Mike it's off the hook!). And I can't forget all the aunties always asking me when I'm getting married😆! I frequent Tselogs (for palabok and lechon kawali) and Fil-Am is my weekly Friday lunch (for sisig + chicken skewers). I remember going to Ling Nam, Sinugba, and Lucky Chances after the club! I'm so happy I grew up in the Bay Area, where I can experience the Filipino culture🤗!
This is the undisputed best tour of Filipino food in the Bay Area 👏. Especially accompanied by local artists D1 and content creators Adonis. Exceptionally well made. So proud of what you’ve done.
Grew up in the bay, not pinoy but most all my friends were, and these spots hit home. Looking forward to bringing my kids around to all these spots to explore a version of “fusion” of bay area I grew up with
This episode is great as always. Growing up in the Filipino community in the east bay lots of dishes bring back good memories of friend's parties. Your channel name is pretty relevant to filipino cuisine and culture too as it reminds me of how even if I stopped by a friends house just for a few minutes and told their parents I already ate something I wouldnt be able to leave the house without them giving me some food first.
As a Filipino immigrant who still has a foot firmly planted in both countries (oh, and is married to a Chinese 😉), thank you for doing this video! I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while. I hope you can revisit more Filipino food in future episodes. (especially in the eastBay if possible heheh 🙏)
When I moved away, that's when I realized how many people didn't even know what a Filipino was let alone the food. I lived in Texas for a bit and Mexican workers would try talk to me in Spanish and they'd get pissed when I spoke English. They'd swear and insult me in Spanish thinking I didn't understand. I grew up in the Mission😂.
@@HiDidYouEatYetI live in Portland now and it's still a trip. My wife and I own a food cart (not Filipino food) and we got to know a lot of Mexican food cart owners. Still trips me out that they don't know Filipino food. The truth is that Bay Area has the true immigrant, making their way in America communities. The Filipinos up here are more whitewashed. The Vietnamese community up where would be the analog to the Filipinos in the Bay.
My go-to Filipino restaurant is in Oakland: FOB Kitchen (in the Temescal Triangle). Their adobo is always on point, excellent fried chicken, quality cocktails, ecstatic halo halo, and their Filipino brunches on the weekend are delicious and you'll leave stuffed.
Why is Daly City always so foggy??? Cuz all the Filipino are working their rice cooker! 6:03 Joke told to me by a Filipino when I was kid growing up in Daly City
The problem with Tselogs is everything is too expensive and the stuff doesn't taste like the way it should taste. They are experimenting and it always tastes like some kids were just playing around. Oh and the meat/egg over rice is $13. No. Just...no. The younger folk are trying to express Filipino pride on places like this but it's the wrong thing because the pricing is for mga puti not for mga kababayan who resent it. That and like I said, it just doesn't taste right.
Everyone in the Bay Area got a Filipino homie.
If you don’t somethings wrong with you lol
For the most part, they're all good people. Don't think I've had any bad experiences.
💯💯💯

This might be the best video ever made on Filipino food culture in the Bay Area! (Okay, I’m biased 😂) 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Appreciate that! We just getting started but share the channel with your friends and run it up 🙏
Thanks for the overview. As someone who grew up in the midwest I've been intimidated about where to start with filipino food and this really helps!
This was good to see. Lucky Chances was definitely our late night after party spot, many moons back. Thank you for your work 🙌🏽
