    Don't be shy to ask anyone if you're unsure of anything, most Filipinos in the big towns or cities will leave you alone to give you space. Once you ask anyone for directions, chances are that you'll get more interactions than expected. Mostly, we'll be shy because we're not used to the British accent and some may have difficulty understanding you, patience and it will be okay in the end .
    Welcome and enjoy your Philippine adventure.

    You probably went to a Goldilocks restaurant where you would have to order food at the counter like you would at an IKEA restaurant. The staff there probably assumed that you already knew this and that's why you were ignored. What was the name of that Filipino restaurant?

    @albensana-ol9039 6 місяців тому

    for dining or takeout experience, there are several types in the Philippines
    1. Carinderia/Canteen/Local Eatery-style - pick/choose the food items and pay as you order (usually self-service). Mostly does not have a menu list and you have to ask what it is called (viand name) and the ingredients.
    2. Fastfood - same ordering process as Western fastfood chains
    3. Restaurant/fine dining - usually there's someone at the entrance tending to the customers unless the place is busy/crowded. Has waiters/waitresses/servers roaming or on standby.
    BTW, when trying to seek the attention of the waiters/waitresses/servers, you can raise your hand and wave to them.

    tip - just stand back and watch what people do in restaurants until you work it out. There are so many variations and quite often staff in many of these places don't care about customers so don't stop and think to help tourists. You just have to step back and observe. Orr ick Burger King - that also works :)

    • @LuisaTona
      @LuisaTona  6 місяців тому +5

      Very good point! I did try to observe and I couldn’t work it out, hence why I felt so awkward haha 😆 Luckily my experiences since have been much better and I have been served / told how to order x

    • @jayb1590
      @jayb1590 6 місяців тому

      No problem. As for what dish to choose.. I’d say that their two best dishes are crispy pata and sisig (I love this one even though it might not suit every westerner’s tastebuds.)
      P.S if you want one of the best desserts ever, go to a shop called Bebang HaloHalo. Thank me later.

  • @thestevecbr
    @thestevecbr 6 місяців тому

    yes, generally just sit down, raise your hand to staff to get their attention, ask for the menu and after choosing your meal, raise your hand again to get their attention and order. when done eating, raise your hand again to get attention, and ask for the check. its a hand thing 😊

    I think you went to a self service Filipino restaurant, where you point at the food you like. Just guessing. Jollibee is a Filipino fast food, counter part of McDonalds. If you like chicken, you can go to Mang Inasal. Chowking is another. In the islands, you can easily go to a small restaurant where you choose your food. And don't be afraid to ask anyone for help. ❤
