i'm glad that jessica is very tactful while being honest at the same time about her food preferences coz a negative comment from her can ruin a struggling food business.
Don't mind the comments. I am Filipino and I smell foods first before I eat them because I want to know the ingredients and then confirm them once I taste it. The joy it brings to me, once my guess is right. I like to use all my sense when it comes to foods.
I'm a Filipino and what I can say is that you SMELL YOUR FOOD. We don't see it as a rude behavior. Don't mind those people, smelling your food is a normal thing to do, nothing to be ashamed.
Totally normal. Im a fil am and do that in phillipines and in America, ill close my eyes inhale and get a good whiff then take a big bite and enjoy the flavors. Ugh. My goodness ty GOD for giving me this wonderful palette and ty for my life as a filipino
Don’t worry Jessica! You definitely should smell food especially if you bought it outside! The only time it can be a little offensive is if you’re a guest in a Filipino home and they cooked food for you. I’ve been told numerous times by my mom not to smell food cooked by my relatives 😂 but aside from that, keep smelling the food lol
Haha, I don't care what people say or think, but I am still going to smell the food, no matter who made it. I mean, it's going inside my body, so I better make sure first what it looks like, smells like, feels like, tastes like, before swallowing it, or it might me sick, because my body is more important than how I am going to be judged. :)
As someone who isn't familiar with the Luzon area, I get to discover places there in the Manila area through content like this. I'm not into those promotional touring videos for a certain place that gets too boring with all the tidbit details that they say. This paborito series gives an element of chill vibes, casual, and entertainment of walking around, meeting strangers, food trip while also getting to see the places around. I also enjoy seeing your staff popping up every once in a while carrying their cameras with the mic. haha! Thank you Jessica! Keep up the good work.
Intramuros is kind of safe place to go around and also they got amazing restaurant there that is not fast food like tapsilogan, mamihan, lugawan and other Filipino restaurants you just need to be patient in searching and prepare your feet 🤣 I suggest you should wear sneakers and NOT any shoes with heels
I am now a fan of Jessica! She is very fluent in English and also able to speak tagalog. Her opinion is so honest but not offensive. She seems so kind and approachable.
It makes perfect sense that food in Intramuros is not extraordinarily good but manageably good. Especially in the context of an area where it's populated with a lot of students (lots of big colleges), food should be within their budget/cheap. This is also a great way to know the places you tour while discovering new foods that are outside the usual. Love how honest this episode is and it's always a treat to see Jessica expand her Filipino food knowledge through this series!
I live in the Philippines and I also smell the food before I eat. It helps me appreciate the food more. If I love the smell, I'd definitely love the taste. Sometimes I cook without tasting the food, I only smell it while cooking.
I agree. I also do the smelling. Especially if the food is interesting. Once you smell it, you may have an idea what were the ingredients and ia it really good or bad. If you wanted to copy....at least alam mo kung ano at paano.
@@arvintio1739 Yes haha mas keen kasi yung sense of smell ko? Or mas nalalaman ko yung ingredients kapag inaamoy kesa nilalasahan haha tapos kapag gusto ko yung food ayun ginagawa kong guide kapag gusto kong gayahin 🤣
I am also Filipino and I have been living in this world for almost 25 years. then I didn't even think about it... and just found out.. that we have a culture that says... smelling a dish before eating is a bad habit????? what if you just want to smell the Aroma of a dish??? and sometimes by smelling...... you can guess what those ingredients are...
DO NOT STOP SMELLING FOOD IT IS NOT RUDE! I usually smell my food too because first, I have food allergies and second I just love smelling it!😂 It kinda adds to the whole experience! I’m Filipino btw so don’t lister to the few comments that hinders you from doing so.
Hi Jessica! Since you’ve already tried the food near the universities in Intramuros, think you should also try the food/Paboritos near other universities (UST, DLSU, FEU, & etc.). I’m sure the students will be able to give you recommendations with great food and affordable prices.😁

I've never heard of that "filipino tradition" of not smelling your food. Do what you want with the food you got with your hard work!! Loving this series a lot!!! ❤
Its koream thing po . Ganyan po sila . Inaamoy muna nila pagkaen . Dito sa atin ganyan din tayo . Minsan sanay na tayo kasi alam mo kung bakit?paulit ulit lng pagkaen nati kaya kahit di mo na amuyin
@@ien17 Maybe in your household, sa mga kamag anak ko ala pang nagsasabi ng ganyan. If you know how to appreciate, prepare and cook food, you smell it as one of the steps before actually putting it in your mouth. Kaya nga langhap sarap, at amoy palang ulam na.
Ninong Ry din naman inaamoy yung luto nya aa ahaha. Partida, luto na nya yon. Sabi nga nya, you use all your sense para talagang ma appreciate mo yung food. Wala rin ganun culture samin. Kahit mga Lolo at Lola ko. Inaamoy namin kinakain namin before namin tikman especially if bago lang namin nakilala yung food. Tsaka sa smell mo rin malalaman kung panis yung kinakain mo, para kahit di mo na tikman, alam mo na agad kung safe o Hindi yung kinakain mo .
I really appreciate the honesty of this vlogger's food reviews. It's so refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid to give their genuine opinion, even if it's negative. It shows that they truly care about their audience and want to provide them with the most accurate information possible. Keep up the great work!
For students it becomes their Paborito if its the one that they can only afford and the one they can eat that will fill their stomach but will not hurt their wallet. 😅
Hi Jessica, love your series and method of interviewing locals and getting their recommendations. You keep a great attitude with everyone you meet that keeps your videos so interesting. Love your tagalog too. So nice to know you maintain your level of integrity by not just labeling a "paborito" just because you tried it. Great to see you reserve the level of labeling something a "paborito" as some place or food that actually earns it in your opinion. Kudos kid!
wahhh she's improved a lot in speaking Filipino language na talagaa, like I remember watching her vids like 2 or 3 yrs ago, there's a big change about her fluencyy
Watching your videos made me missed my hometown. I love the paborito series so much! To more food adventure on the coming months. You're very genuine to your viewers. Thank you, Jessica!
one thing about spice tolerance is, it is not about the ethnicity or what food they usually eat in a country but it's more like an individual thing or preference. maybe korea have lots of spicy dishes and foods but per korean have their own preference of spiciness as well. same with filipinos, they may not have too much dishes that are spicy but we also have our chilis that we use as dipping sauces or chili oils that we add in our food at times. we all have our own techniques on how we use our chili, thatI may say is a race thing. filipino palette or korean palette on spiciness doesn't actually exist. it's more like a bragging thing for the latter.
If you ever do a PABORITO episode in Mandaluyong, I highly recommend R&J's Bulalohan near the City Hall obviously famous for their Bulalo and you'll be surprised just how many dishes they offer. While in there, also try their Tapa and Bicol Express or other combo binalot that comes with tomatoes and salty egg wrapped in banana leaf. Charlie's Wanton House is also a must try in Mandaluyong, especially their Beef Wanton noodles and Jumbo Siopao. Keep it up and more power to your channel!
I miss the Wall! I studied in Mapua for 2 years back in college, and the wall was(I think it still is) one of the places to go to for easy access (it is just literally across the campus), student-budget-friendly yet tasty meals with free soup. Or there was a "Kantunan" at the side of the building but it is no longer there. Then after school, either beer garden or Wow Philippines were the 2 best places (at least back then inside Intramuros) to hang out for a "moderate" beer session with a free show from acoustic artist/band/s. My optional and less costy place to chill out was my or friend's dorm's rooftop. Just buy RH/gin+favorite powdered fruit juices and someone else's acoustic guitar. What a simple way to end the "night". Studies?? Not sure about that. 😅🤭
First all, congrats Jessica! Sobrang entertaining and informative ng video series mo, so smart of you for video concepts. Nakakatuwa yun paano ka mkihalubilo sa mga tao, so friendly & natural. Keep it up! Stay humble & kind 😊
I have to agree that foods for this episode is something that we can get anywhere. Intramuros wont fail you Jessica! Looking forward for Intramuros Part Two hahaha
Just don’t sniff vigorously, as long as it’s just minimal and you still emphasize dining etiquette then I believe there’s nothing wrong with smelling the food. - from Bataan/Manila 25.
kailangan mong mag leave ng comment na pwedeng mapuntahan ng tao sa place since the highlight is paborito on specific place, telling people na you can see or buy the food somewhere was like you were telling them not to eat there, STOP comparing the FOOD you ate to the other places who serve the same food(you can see SoMeWheRe) "paborito" nag ask kayo sa student, and pumili sila, most likely sa mga area na [napuntahan, pinupuntahan, at pupuntahan] nyo may mga kanya kanyang paborito yung mga tao na kainan at normal yun na magkakaron ng kapareho talaga sa ibang lugar. best thing before you start eating, ask people at least 3 food places from at least 5-10 people. So that you can decide kung ano yung the top 3 food places na pwedeng puntahan.
You still look pretty kahit pawisan ka na! Btw, ang galing mo na mag tagalog! I'm really proud that you're improving na sa pagtatagalog! That shows how hardworking, and dedicated you are on your craft! More PABORITOS EPISODE to come! For food recommendations naman here in Bulacan especially in town of Norzagaray we're known for kakanin or rice cakes like cassava cakes and halaya. I also recommend you to come to Malolos, Bulacan to try adong puti! ☺
14:50 Oh I love that so much. We have that here too. You can also have 2 flavors or 3 flavors. Then you can choose adds on like Jelly, Black Pearl, Nips etc. My favorite was Strawberry 🍓 with both and Jelly and Black Pearl as adds on then Graham toppings. The strawberry is sweet but has a subtle soury taste, that's why I loved it.
Well done, Jessica! I love your honest and respectful answer with this vlog. Also love seeing you interact with your fans especially the students. Continued blessings to you, from a Filipino family in California.
just some of them, most Filipinos can't tolerate spicy food unless you're talking about locals in the Bicol region. I even let my Filipino friends try to taste the spicy dishes that I eat which is like a 5 on a scale of 1-10 and they wouldn't even take another bite due to how spicy it is for them.
@@MonsterFishKeepersPH are you Maranao or Tausug? Those people from the southern Philippines (Mindanao) have very high tolerance to spicy food since their local cuisine are very spicy as well. Mindanao food are very underrated.
Ang cute nman ni Jessica. Pati ang intonation @ ang Filipino language ay tlagang hasang-hasa na niya..👍👏👏👏 Ang ganda ng segment na mga ganito. Keep 8 up! ❣️❣️❣️
I have never heard of smelling food being offensive in the Philippines. I honestly think it's necessary to do it before eating anything cuz usually you could tell it already if something went bad. and no I am not picky person heck I eat pretty much everything. ket kelan di ko pa to narininig
back in college, Spicy Chicken nasa 50-75 pesos lang ata yan (2011- 2015), my classmates and I are fans of the place. Glad that it's still there. Shoutout sa mga Lycean (LPU) =3 also, J's nasa 75 pesos (less than 100), back then. Grabe, nostalgic! nakakamiss maging student :D may "liempuhan" din dyan sa likod ng LPU, go there next time.. Usually talaga affordable foods at student meals inside the intramuros dahil sa mga students, bec of the universities dyan.
Yum! Thank you for sharing these dishes with us! There’s nothing wrong with taking in the aroma of a dish…i find that the flavors are enhanced. Do you ever notice that when you’re sick with a stuffy nose, how bland food is & you can barely taste anything? So go ahead & use all your senses, taste everything & enjoy it all one bite at a time! Bon appétit!
The foods of Spanish that mixed with our food was also influenced by Ottoman Empire so our foods is so unique that it's mixed with Spanish, Chinese and Middle Eastern taste.. Don't forget also that it's not only adobo or sinigang, those Muslims that was not converted by Christians also have different foods and there's a lot of different foods on every tribes.. I think you should know it since you love Philippine Culture too..

Love your vlog! You really sounded like a typical filipino who can speak english fluently with an accent. I like the way you deliver your content you remind me of Mark Weins one of the famous vlogger nowadays. The entire video I was really entertained its not only informative but you also connected to everyone effectively like they are part of it the culture and everything which is really goood one thing that content creator vloggers lack these days is the connection. You had me tap on subsribe button within the first 30 seconds of the video because its that good! Good job! More contents like these Jessica
What I like about your vlogs is that you make it so educational that even Filipinos like me would be amazed na parang taga dito nga ako - d ko nmn alam un - sort of way. Loving your vlogs it's like really living in my own country. ❣️
I love your honesty with your comments about the food. That should it be, no sugar coating because there are alao some people who wanna try those goods. And you gave them the idea. Kuddos
Hello po Ms. Lee!! Its nice and fun to see someone like you that wanting to taste our Filipino dishes. Kamsahamnida po sa pag-explore ng mga places at pagkain, kasi nagkakaroon din po kami ng Idea to try it too po. Nway po, i am a New Subscriber to your YT channel po. Thank you so much po again sa g-vibes. Keep safe always. God bless po. ☺❤
It was the best decision to try all before decising on your paborito. And it's Ok to smell... That's how you eat your food... through smell, through looking at it and through tasting it... good job, Jessica!!!
You are very entertaining. cool. friendly, and even if you are drenched in sweat walang arte. Legitimately love the Filipino culture, not pretentious like most people. Best korean vlog channel.
Small suggestion Jessica. You need to create a signature facial expression like Mark Wiens when he really likes the food. Watch his channel so you can understand what I’m talking about. Your special unique facial expression when you love the food will help solidify your distinct Jessica Lee brand. ❤🎉👍🏻
as an Intra student, i've been waiting so long for this!! Was hoping to see you :(( Place Reco: Belfry Cafe. It's beside Manila Cathedral lang din (literally hahaha) Drinks and Food Recos: Mixed Berries and Hibiscus tea, and Peach and Passion Tea + Choco Banana Walnut Muffin
its my first time hearing that smelling food before eating is a bad thing here in the philippines, probably because i never smelled something before eating it i just dig into it lol.
maybe not popular now a days especially with young folks but definitely when i was growing up its a disrespect to the person who cooked or served the food
Di siguro disrespect, pero mapapatanong Sila kung may problema, hospitable nmn Kasi tayo kaya mag-o-offer Ng ibang putahe o hahabulin ka Ng walis Tambo palabas. 😆
I love how grounded you are. I know some people that don’t even drink tap water from local resto. I just love your content and you as a vlogger. Continue to do more! 😊
One thing that i liked in this episode is she boldly said na wala pa syang napili "paborito" which is sa lahat ng napapanood nating mga food vlog lagi o dapat meron kang pinili, but here di na sya nag pretend na kailangan meron!! Kailangan o dapat may pipiliin, para malaman ng viewers, even though kitang kita naman some part na nagustuhan naman nya ang mga food.. Natutuwa lang ako sa opinion hehehe share ko lang.. I always watch your vlog, hooe to see you around 😍 May Our Lord bless🙏 you and guide you always 💐
For your Paborito Series. I suggest come visit the RODEO CAPITAL of the Philippines this coming April if you want to experience Cowboy/Cowgirl thing. Bull Wrestling? Horse Riding? yes we got it all.. This year's RODEO FESTIVAL will be on April. there are lots of dishes to try also.
I can't wait to see you exploring different delicacies in the Philippines soon. You will be amazed at how rich and gano kadami ang pagkain dito sa Pilipinas as in! Isa pang nagustuhan ko sayo is yung pagiging honest mo po, sana lahat ng vlogger kagaya mo Jessica. Keep safe always. New subscriber here❤️
Hey Jessica, Sol & Luna TV (previously MinyeoTV) is here in PH! I hope to see a collaboration since you are pretty much a local. And you worked with SB19 so it'll be interesting for them since they really like the group a lot. They even went here in PH!
When you visit different provinces here in the Philppines, please visit other places in Negros Occidental too, Jessica. Since I know you came from Bacolod City, so I hope you will try to go in northern or southern part of Negros Occidental/Oriental as well. Love you♡
Recommendation: When I visit Philippines, I like bag of beans in Tagaytay- the main branch. Love the coffee and of course their decorations. Was fortunate to go during Christmas Holiday 2022.
Nice episode Jessica. You should also try the binondo special Pork chop rice/noodle of "Tasty Dimsum". Location: corner of P.S. Bank branch. It is beside the sideway street of binondo church.There are also many food variety in the menu to choose from. Enjoy🙋♂️😉 P.s. don't forget to dip the pork a little in there special black sauce.
Omgg Jessica!!!!! I have been a subscriber before your Million subs when you were just hit your 100ks and I can now see how you beautifully transition from Jessica to JESSICA! I wish you more success! 🥰 I feel so honored and proud to witness you succeed in this platform! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember my college days 2005 era. There are so many places to eat and I'm quite surprised with the new places now. Of course the infamous fried food of Walls will always be my favorite next to grilled pork belly in front of BIR office. Back then we call it Batibot. I don't know if it still existing because there were a lot of changes in Manila vendors.
0:34 Hi Jessica! In case that you and your team are planning to do Paborito segment in Batangas (especially the northern part of it) , willing to spend a day with you even that I will have to cancel a media event just for this segment :) Followed you on IG too
Walls is my go-to place whenever I need to eat lunch during my college days in Mapùa in 2004. I am not sure if Manang Chicken and Hongma are still open in Walls. You should have tried eating at the famous Cantunan in Intramuros! Yakisoba+Half Long Combo 😊
nostalgia hits. Good ol J's. They used to have a free shuttle service on call, it was a really nice brand new toyota hiace. And it wasn't just unli rice back then, it was also unli iced tea all for like 70 or 80 php. Liempuhan was great too before it relocated to its current spot. They had liempo for like 35 and 5 php for extra rice. Not sure if its the same as it is now in terms of how they ran the place, but it used to be really distinct.
I lived there as a student and yes tbh although intramuros is a tourist spot, there are four universities inside so a lot of the food are catered to the students. I don’t remember any ‘specialty food’ there. Spicy chicken is like the fave because it’s good quality food for its price. I actually learned how to eat spicy food bc of the the spicy chicken lol. Idk if some of my fave karinderyas are still open because of the pandemic but even tho walang wow factor yung food the ates and kuyas are very accommodating. Sana nakakain kayo sa Chibz masarap sisig and tapa dun huhu Ty for the honest review!
Paborito series in marikina. Highly recomended macky's goto and mama ting's ... Try the original everlasting and rellenong bangus of mama ting's... And ofcourse the goto of macky's. (Located at jr rizal)
"very spicy for the Filipino palate"😂😅 most of the Filipino are into spicy foods, here in Mindanao some would even have chili dipped in sauce as a viand, I personally loves to put 1/2 of Naga Viper on my magi kare with egg🥰
All the foods that was shown on this episode are available when you use a delivery app. There are a lot of turo turo and Carinderia in Intramuros, kindly go to those who cook lutong bahay, which those students go since they can only afford less than 100 peso meal or what we call students meal.
Amazing vlog. I get to discover a lot about different places in Manila. can't wait to see you vlog and go here in our province PAMPANGA - THE CULINARY CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES.
I love that you were really honest with your reviews and even just watching, I agree that you can find those food everywhere. But I still think it's good for the mass. People can afford it.
Try the Pansit Maciang in San Pedro, Laguna. It is a Pansit with egg and ketchup. It has been renowned since early 50s. Universal Bakery too in San Pedro they have mocca mamon and Ensaymada with bacon. Also Puto Binan in Binan, Laguna.
Lol! Smell, touch, taste food. Always. Just don’t smell and then make a face. 🤭 even if it’s mabantot, some food like luosifen noodles may smell bad but tastes great. Bagoong does that to me but I eat it anyway. 😅 I like these series… makes me miss home but also a little peek of what I’m missing.
Hi, Jessica! new subscriber here, hehe. I've been watching your vlogs for like a week now. It just happened that it is only at this hour that I've got to subscribe to your channel, simply because I am a seminarian, and inside the seminary, we aren't allowed to use our cellphones. In fact, I am using the "community computer." Keep up the good work. We are all millions (one million plus subscribers, including me) of people who are rooting for you. God bless you!
Have supported you po ate since around 50k subs so proud to see na you're past your 1M milestone! Thank you po for choosing to share our culture and amazing street foods with the Paborito series! More power to you po!
I love your video editing. And yes although filipino cuisine isnt typically spicy overall, but when you do find that spicy dish, oooooooo putanggg is it hawwttt its so sweet hot n delicious! Im a Chicago fil-am and want to share this with all the foodies in Chicago I just know theyd love that kinda heat.. Ive been to intramurous a few times myself
Naging lomi ung sisig😊 anyways ur honesty in tasting the food is still polite. I rhink its nice and i guess every individual has its own tast buds and preferences..sakto lng ung pagkakadescribe mo sa lasa. Well Explore and enjoy Philippines.
Don’t mind the hates about smelling the food. That’s okay naman eh. Some pinoys lang talaga na parang sinasabe na maarte porket inaamoy but fck no. I smell the food also and doon mo ma appreciate yung food sa amoy palang. More upload and contents Jessica! Be safe always and also the crew behind the cameras. More and more food vlogs! ❤
Try to go here in Malabon please... We have also our own food like Pancit Malabon, famous kakanin and famous crispy pata. There's also lot of desert foods here and snacks... 😁💜

one thing about spice tolerance is, it is not about the ethnicity or what food they usually eat in a country but it's more like an individual thing or preference. maybe korea have lots of spicy dishes and foods but per korean have their own preference of spiciness as well. same with filipinos, they may not have too much dishes that are spicy but we also have our chilis that we use as dipping sauces or chili oils that we add in our food at times. we all have our own techniques on how we use our chili, thatI may say is a race thing. filipino palette or korean palette on spiciness doesn't actually exist. it's more like a bragging thing for the latter.
If you ever do a PABORITO episode in Mandaluyong, I highly recommend R&J's Bulalohan near the City Hall obviously famous for their Bulalo and you'll be surprised just how many dishes they offer. While in there, also try their Tapa and Bicol Express or other combo binalot that comes with tomatoes and salty egg wrapped in banana leaf. Charlie's Wanton House is also a must try in Mandaluyong, especially their Beef Wanton noodles and Jumbo Siopao. Keep it up and more power to your channel!
I miss the Wall!
I studied in Mapua for 2 years back in college, and the wall was(I think it still is) one of the places to go to for easy access (it is just literally across the campus), student-budget-friendly yet tasty meals with free soup. Or there was a "Kantunan" at the side of the building but it is no longer there.
Then after school, either beer garden or Wow Philippines were the 2 best places (at least back then inside Intramuros) to hang out for a "moderate" beer session with a free show from acoustic artist/band/s. My optional and less costy place to chill out was my or friend's dorm's rooftop. Just buy RH/gin+favorite powdered fruit juices and someone else's acoustic guitar. What a simple way to end the "night". Studies?? Not sure about that. 😅🤭

To be honest, Filipino spices tolerance is high and very underrated.
Those people from southern Philippines specifically Mindanao have high spice tolerance like the Maranao and Tausug people.
I don't have that high spice tolerance. But I don't care how spicy it is, still gonna eat it 🤣
I have to agree that foods for this episode is something that we can get anywhere. Intramuros wont fail you Jessica! Looking forward for Intramuros Part Two hahaha
Hi Jessica! I love how you interact with Filipino students!
I love the PABORITO series so much!! more food adventures on the coming months!! Thank you Jessica!!

Just don’t sniff vigorously, as long as it’s just minimal and you still emphasize dining etiquette then I believe there’s nothing wrong with smelling the food.

A very honest reaction. Love this content. Keep on going Jessica!🥰
kailangan mong mag leave ng comment na pwedeng mapuntahan ng tao sa place since the highlight is paborito on specific place,
telling people na you can see or buy the food somewhere was like you were telling them not to eat there, STOP comparing the FOOD you ate to the other places who serve the same food(you can see SoMeWheRe)
"paborito" nag ask kayo sa student, and pumili sila, most likely sa mga area na [napuntahan, pinupuntahan, at pupuntahan] nyo may mga kanya kanyang paborito yung mga tao na kainan at normal yun na magkakaron ng kapareho talaga sa ibang lugar.
best thing before you start eating, ask people at least 3 food places from at least 5-10 people. So that you can decide kung ano yung the top 3 food places na pwedeng puntahan.
You still look pretty kahit pawisan ka na! Btw, ang galing mo na mag tagalog! I'm really proud that you're improving na sa pagtatagalog! That shows how hardworking, and dedicated you are on your craft! More PABORITOS EPISODE to come! For food recommendations naman here in Bulacan especially in town of Norzagaray we're known for kakanin or rice cakes like cassava cakes and halaya. I also recommend you to come to Malolos, Bulacan to try adong puti! ☺
14:50 Oh I love that so much. We have that here too. You can also have 2 flavors or 3 flavors. Then you can choose adds on like Jelly, Black Pearl, Nips etc. My favorite was Strawberry 🍓 with both and Jelly and Black Pearl as adds on then Graham toppings. The strawberry is sweet but has a subtle soury taste, that's why I loved it.
Well done, Jessica! I love your honest and respectful answer with this vlog. Also love seeing you interact with your fans especially the students. Continued blessings to you, from a Filipino family in California.
True. Kc pag d honest makikita sa facial expression.
I know it's a bare minimum but I really love how she asks permission first everytime she go inside the store. like jessicaaaaa, mahal na talaga kita
I feel like the first location forced her to eat the whole thing because of her pride as a Korean lol. 😂 It must have been so spicy.

@@rodericksumaway5441 F off with your proselytizing.
I think the spice tolerance of Filipinos are so underrated.
just some of them, most Filipinos can't tolerate spicy food unless you're talking about locals in the Bicol region. I even let my Filipino friends try to taste the spicy dishes that I eat which is like a 5 on a scale of 1-10 and they wouldn't even take another bite due to how spicy it is for them.
Only city boy can't take spicy food
@@serioguerrero1394 I'm a city boy all my life and I eat fresh chilis
@@MonsterFishKeepersPH are you Maranao or Tausug? Those people from the southern Philippines (Mindanao) have very high tolerance to spicy food since their local cuisine are very spicy as well. Mindanao food are very underrated.
Smelling the food is fine especially when you are rating it. Smelling is part of culinary experience.
Ang cute nman ni Jessica. Pati ang intonation @ ang Filipino language ay tlagang hasang-hasa na niya..👍👏👏👏
Ang ganda ng segment na mga ganito.
Keep 8 up! ❣️❣️❣️
I have never heard of smelling food being offensive in the Philippines. I honestly think it's necessary to do it before eating anything cuz usually you could tell it already if something went bad. and no I am not picky person heck I eat pretty much everything. ket kelan di ko pa to narininig
SO, WOrship JEHOVAH God father of Jesus b4 it's 2 late because d end is very neAr
same. This is the first time I've heard it's offensive for Filipinos. It's not like she's pessimistic about the food or something.

back in college, Spicy Chicken nasa 50-75 pesos lang ata yan (2011- 2015), my classmates and I are fans of the place. Glad that it's still there. Shoutout sa mga Lycean (LPU) =3
also, J's nasa 75 pesos (less than 100), back then.
Grabe, nostalgic! nakakamiss maging student :D
may "liempuhan" din dyan sa likod ng LPU, go there next time.. Usually talaga affordable foods at student meals inside the intramuros dahil sa mga students, bec of the universities dyan.
Yum! Thank you for sharing these dishes with us! There’s nothing wrong with taking in the aroma of a dish…i find that the flavors are enhanced. Do you ever notice that when you’re sick with a stuffy nose, how bland food is & you can barely taste anything? So go ahead & use all your senses, taste everything & enjoy it all one bite at a time! Bon appétit!
I really like your honesty. This is the vlogger we're looking for. Not other guys roaming around pretending they like it just for views.
Jessica makes me want to go to the PH just for the food lol
The foods of Spanish that mixed with our food was also influenced by Ottoman Empire so our foods is so unique that it's mixed with Spanish, Chinese and Middle Eastern taste.. Don't forget also that it's not only adobo or sinigang, those Muslims that was not converted by Christians also have different foods and there's a lot of different foods on every tribes.. I think you should know it since you love Philippine Culture too..
Hope you can go to Cavite City for your next Paborito series , they have foods that originated in Cavite City..
Great video miss Jessica 😊👍👍

Love your vlog! You really sounded like a typical filipino who can speak english fluently with an accent. I like the way you deliver your content you remind me of Mark Weins one of the famous vlogger nowadays. The entire video I was really entertained its not only informative but you also connected to everyone effectively like they are part of it the culture and everything which is really goood one thing that content creator vloggers lack these days is the connection. You had me tap on subsribe button within the first 30 seconds of the video because its that good! Good job! More contents like these Jessica
Jessica is So Beautiful and Friendly 😍❤️
What I like about your vlogs is that you make it so educational that even Filipinos like me would be amazed na parang taga dito nga ako - d ko nmn alam un - sort of way. Loving your vlogs it's like really living in my own country. ❣️
It's ok to smell it Jessica .. atfer all it's a"FOOD REVIEW" 😁😁

I love your honesty with your comments about the food. That should it be, no sugar coating because there are alao some people who wanna try those goods. And you gave them the idea. Kuddos
Proud Filipino here 🇵🇭☺️❤️
Hello po Ms. Lee!! Its nice and fun to see someone like you that wanting to taste our Filipino dishes. Kamsahamnida po sa pag-explore ng mga places at pagkain, kasi nagkakaroon din po kami ng Idea to try it too po. Nway po, i am a New Subscriber to your YT channel po. Thank you so much po again sa g-vibes. Keep safe always. God bless po. ☺❤
It was the best decision to try all before decising on your paborito. And it's Ok to smell... That's how you eat your food... through smell, through looking at it and through tasting it... good job, Jessica!!!

Small suggestion Jessica. You need to create a signature facial expression like Mark Wiens when he really likes the food. Watch his channel so you can understand what I’m talking about. Your special unique facial expression when you love the food will help solidify your distinct Jessica Lee brand. ❤🎉👍🏻
Didn't know there's a tradition of "not smelling food because it's rude" here in the Philippines. Must be a regional thing.
SO, WOrship JEHOVAH God father of Jesus b4 it's 2 late because d end is very neAr
as an Intra student, i've been waiting so long for this!! Was hoping to see you :((
Place Reco: Belfry Cafe. It's beside Manila Cathedral lang din (literally hahaha)
Drinks and Food Recos: Mixed Berries and Hibiscus tea, and Peach and Passion Tea + Choco Banana Walnut Muffin
yes the walnut muffin!!!
its my first time hearing that smelling food before eating is a bad thing here in the philippines, probably because i never smelled something before eating it i just dig into it lol.
maybe not popular now a days especially with young folks but definitely when i was growing up its a disrespect to the person who cooked or served the food
Di siguro disrespect, pero mapapatanong Sila kung may problema, hospitable nmn Kasi tayo kaya mag-o-offer Ng ibang putahe o hahabulin ka Ng walis Tambo palabas. 😆

I love how grounded you are. I know some people that don’t even drink tap water from local resto. I just love your content and you as a vlogger. Continue to do more! 😊
It's okay in the Philippines to smell your food before you eat, Jessica. After all, you're the one to eat the food.
Love your vlogs! Stay quirky and bubbly!
One thing that i liked in this episode is she boldly said na wala pa syang napili "paborito" which is sa lahat ng napapanood nating mga food vlog lagi o dapat meron kang pinili, but here di na sya nag pretend na kailangan meron!! Kailangan o dapat may pipiliin, para malaman ng viewers, even though kitang kita naman some part na nagustuhan naman nya ang mga food..
Natutuwa lang ako sa opinion hehehe share ko lang..
I always watch your vlog, hooe to see you around 😍
May Our Lord bless🙏 you and guide you always 💐
I also smell the food before I eat Jessica! 😋 Don't mind the commenters! Lol

OMG!!! I suddenly miss being a student in Intramuros 🤣 I am craving for the spicy chicken and J's sisig now 😭
For your Paborito Series. I suggest come visit the RODEO CAPITAL of the Philippines this coming April if you want to experience Cowboy/Cowgirl thing. Bull Wrestling? Horse Riding? yes we got it all.. This year's RODEO FESTIVAL will be on April. there are lots of dishes to try also.
I can't wait to see you exploring different delicacies in the Philippines soon. You will be amazed at how rich and gano kadami ang pagkain dito sa Pilipinas as in! Isa pang nagustuhan ko sayo is yung pagiging honest mo po, sana lahat ng vlogger kagaya mo Jessica. Keep safe always. New subscriber here❤️
Hey Jessica, Sol & Luna TV (previously MinyeoTV) is here in PH! I hope to see a collaboration since you are pretty much a local. And you worked with SB19 so it'll be interesting for them since they really like the group a lot. They even went here in PH!
When you visit different provinces here in the Philppines, please visit other places in Negros Occidental too, Jessica. Since I know you came from Bacolod City, so I hope you will try to go in northern or southern part of Negros Occidental/Oriental as well. Love you♡
Recommendation: When I visit Philippines, I like bag of beans in Tagaytay- the main branch. Love the coffee and of course their decorations. Was fortunate to go during Christmas Holiday 2022.
Nice episode Jessica. You should also try the binondo special Pork chop rice/noodle of "Tasty Dimsum". Location: corner of P.S. Bank branch. It is beside the sideway street of binondo church.There are also many food variety in the menu to choose from. Enjoy🙋♂️😉 P.s. don't forget to dip the pork a little in there special black sauce.
That's why i really like Miss Jessica Lee,very down to earth person,her megawatts smile brigthen my day,she is very lovely and so on.
Omgg Jessica!!!!! I have been a subscriber before your Million subs when you were just hit your 100ks and I can now see how you beautifully transition from Jessica to JESSICA! I wish you more success! 🥰 I feel so honored and proud to witness you succeed in this platform! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember my college days 2005 era. There are so many places to eat and I'm quite surprised with the new places now. Of course the infamous fried food of Walls will always be my favorite next to grilled pork belly in front of BIR office. Back then we call it Batibot. I don't know if it still existing because there were a lot of changes in Manila vendors.
0:34 Hi Jessica! In case that you and your team are planning to do Paborito segment in Batangas (especially the northern part of it) , willing to spend a day with you even that I will have to cancel a media event just for this segment :) Followed you on IG too
Walls is my go-to place whenever I need to eat lunch during my college days in Mapùa in 2004. I am not sure if Manang Chicken and Hongma are still open in Walls.
You should have tried eating at the famous Cantunan in Intramuros! Yakisoba+Half Long Combo 😊
nostalgia hits. Good ol J's. They used to have a free shuttle service on call, it was a really nice brand new toyota hiace. And it wasn't just unli rice back then, it was also unli iced tea all for like 70 or 80 php. Liempuhan was great too before it relocated to its current spot. They had liempo for like 35 and 5 php for extra rice. Not sure if its the same as it is now in terms of how they ran the place, but it used to be really distinct.
Spicy Chicken in the walls was just around Php60.00 back in 2010. Miss it. Then, J's really improved a lot, wow.
I lived there as a student and yes tbh although intramuros is a tourist spot, there are four universities inside so a lot of the food are catered to the students. I don’t remember any ‘specialty food’ there. Spicy chicken is like the fave because it’s good quality food for its price. I actually learned how to eat spicy food bc of the the spicy chicken lol. Idk if some of my fave karinderyas are still open because of the pandemic but even tho walang wow factor yung food the ates and kuyas are very accommodating. Sana nakakain kayo sa Chibz masarap sisig and tapa dun huhu Ty for the honest review!
Paborito series in marikina. Highly recomended macky's goto and mama ting's ... Try the original everlasting and rellenong bangus of mama ting's... And ofcourse the goto of macky's. (Located at jr rizal)
jessica’s so adorable lol the way she interacts with people is so wholesome ❤
Binge watching your paborito series hehe. I like how you interact with people. Huhu wishing to see you din like them huhu 🥲😊
"very spicy for the Filipino palate"😂😅 most of the Filipino are into spicy foods, here in Mindanao some would even have chili dipped in sauce as a viand, I personally loves to put 1/2 of Naga Viper on my magi kare with egg🥰
All the foods that was shown on this episode are available when you use a delivery app. There are a lot of turo turo and Carinderia in Intramuros, kindly go to those who cook lutong bahay, which those students go since they can only afford less than 100 peso meal or what we call students meal.
Amazing vlog. I get to discover a lot about different places in Manila. can't wait to see you vlog and go here in our province PAMPANGA - THE CULINARY CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES.
I love that you were really honest with your reviews and even just watching, I agree that you can find those food everywhere. But I still think it's good for the mass. People can afford it.
Please do naman po , province paborito series .thank you po :)
Try the Pansit Maciang in San Pedro, Laguna. It is a Pansit with egg and ketchup. It has been renowned since early 50s. Universal Bakery too in San Pedro they have mocca mamon and Ensaymada with bacon. Also Puto Binan in Binan, Laguna.
Lol! Smell, touch, taste food. Always. Just don’t smell and then make a face. 🤭 even if it’s mabantot, some food like luosifen noodles may smell bad but tastes great. Bagoong does that to me but I eat it anyway. 😅
I like these series… makes me miss home but also a little peek of what I’m missing.
Hi, Jessica! new subscriber here, hehe. I've been watching your vlogs for like a week now. It just happened that it is only at this hour that I've got to subscribe to your channel, simply because I am a seminarian, and inside the seminary, we aren't allowed to use our cellphones. In fact, I am using the "community computer." Keep up the good work. We are all millions (one million plus subscribers, including me) of people who are rooting for you. God bless you!
Have supported you po ate since around 50k subs so proud to see na you're past your 1M milestone!
Thank you po for choosing to share our culture and amazing street foods with the Paborito series!
More power to you po!
I love your video editing. And yes although filipino cuisine isnt typically spicy overall, but when you do find that spicy dish, oooooooo putanggg is it hawwttt its so sweet hot n delicious!
Im a Chicago fil-am and want to share this with all the foodies in Chicago I just know theyd love that kinda heat..
Ive been to intramurous a few times myself
Naging lomi ung sisig😊 anyways ur honesty in tasting the food is still polite. I rhink its nice and i guess every individual has its own tast buds and preferences..sakto lng ung pagkakadescribe mo sa lasa. Well Explore and enjoy Philippines.
Omg she's so cute that's why i love korean people kasi ang babait nila at mga cute din❤😊
Don’t mind the hates about smelling the food. That’s okay naman eh. Some pinoys lang talaga na parang sinasabe na maarte porket inaamoy but fck no. I smell the food also and doon mo ma appreciate yung food sa amoy palang. More upload and contents Jessica! Be safe always and also the crew behind the cameras. More and more food vlogs! ❤
it was so funny when Jessica said "wala", nc ep, pls do a poborito series in Baguio too
Try to go here in Malabon please... We have also our own food like Pancit Malabon, famous kakanin and famous crispy pata. There's also lot of desert foods here and snacks... 😁💜
