It always anger me if children asked money from people. But I appreciate you for not giving them any. These street children were told that foreigners are easy money, because some foreigners would toss a dollar like nothing. Teaching these children to be beggars. Thank you for being different. High respect to both of you. Anyway, please be careful always, and enjoy your exploration.
Props to you both for going to that part of the metro. You are the only vloggers that i know of who consistently go to the less popular spots or spots that you would expect tourists to go to.
You should definitely hire a guide when exploring historic areas like Chinatown and Intramuros. Old Manila Walk tours are one of the well known tour guides that can guide you to the best restaurants, attractions and historical areas in the city. Also can’t believed you missed out on another mall tour when Lucky Chinatown mall is just under your noses at some point. Their foodcourt have authentic Chinese food stalls too. Binondo Chinatown was actually created by then Spanish Governor of Philippines to segregate the Chinese immigrants and traders in Manila to be able to keep an eye on them and to easily convert them in Catholism too. The Churches you have seen dates back to Spanish colonial times. The fancy Chinese Deli you saw is a famous old Filipino-Chinese chain. They have the best savory and sweet hopia in town.
You guys are brave enough to visit some places in metro without any guide. At least, you experienced what it look like here, everything the people, the places, and the foods of the Philippines. Thanks, you are not that judgemental about us. We have so much to offer for you as tourists. Remember always, we were also colonized by your country before that's why we speak your language too. Good luck to your vlogs i enjoyed it.
be careful where are you going to, avoid small alleys, not well-lighted streets or those that with too few or with no people, generally people are decent but there are those kinds that you have to be mindful in dealing with, those kids are kind of rowdy ! it's better to be safe👍🇵🇭...
I like it that you always give your honest reaction on everything in a good way. Flowery words are too overused when it comes to vloggers who comes to the philippines so you two are a breath of fresh air. Always be careful though. Unto the next EPIC BOYZ ADVENTURE!!!😄
Great job. Enjoyed watching your videos but scared as well. Living in Metro Mnila Quezon City area for 18 yrs but avoided slum-like places after a scary encounter more than 10 years ago in the backstreets of Quiapo area. I also cant handle the smell of the old manila. But Intramuros is a must try place. Be safe always.
I'm sad you're not getting the full experience of the food that you're eating. A lot of the food you're eating, you're not putting any condiments on them. Always ask diners beside you how to eat a certain food and if they need to have condiments partnered with a certain dish.
Agreed, they did the same thing with their Mang Inasal challenge, they ordered sisig instead of the "inasal"/chicken, lol. Ironic thing is, they dont seem to be shy but they dont ask or interact much with locals
Agree on this, they would have a better experience in their dining if they atleast know how to use the condiments and other ingredients they seem to do it on their own. They can ask even the waiter politely on how to eat or what to put in their foods to make it more special and delicious.
@@rgnald I think theyre too comfortable having each other that they dont feel the need to actually interact and chat with the locals. Unlike those solo vloggers who have no choice but to talk with locals to find theirselves around
Like some people mentioned here before...don't be afraid to ask the locals (including the servers) on how best to eat food that you order. You're missing out on fully experiencing Filipino cuisines. Use the dipping sauces, the calamansi, etc....And if you do not enjoy it after eating how the locals eat, that is fair enough too. At least, you tried it the Filipino way 🙂 But I'm enjoying your vlogs on your trip so far. Stay safe as well.
You guys so brave to walk around China town in Philippines. I did follow your vlogs and thank you for sharing all the countries you visited. Still a lot to watch but and I watched your vlog at LA walking Sepulveda Blvd going towards In N Out fast food by LAX airport. I started watching your channel since 2019 and I’m a fun of SB19❤️🙏❤️
best time to go to chinatown morning before lunch.. or after lunch.. some stores lile the famous shanghai fried siopao closes early... wai ying resto near ongpin st. usually closes late..
12:53 The Church's that you just pass is the Binondo Church's that's one of the oldest church in the Philippines, and that location you guys in, is the center of the town even in the early days the Churches are the center of the whole town.
Awesome guys, you will come back to the U.S. with so much world experience you can share to your family and friends. I hope you saw the main gateway in Chinatown by the bridge.
You guys are really cool, always be careful and dont let your guard down especially when go to a crowded area. Oh by the way, here are the list of 25 tourist places to visit in Manila: -Rizal Park -Fort Santiago -Manila ocean park -San Agustin Church -National Museum Complex -Malacanang palace -Manila zoo -Manila cathedral -Arroceros Foerest Park -Republic -Manila Baywalk -Divisoria Market -Casa Manila -Robinsons Place Mall -Greenbelt Chapel -Bahay Tsinoy -Money Museum -Binondo ( oldest chinatown) -Ayala Museum -Bonifacio Global City -Mall of Asia -San Agustin Museum Hope can help it, enjoy ! Its more fun in the Philippines 😊❤
You are already very near Divisoria. The biggest streets market in Manila. People in Metro Manila and even nearby provinces go there to shop because it is there where you can buy the cheapest products. It is very famous and really very busy.
OMG... just done mind those kids.. they don't know what they are doing... i would suggest if you want to explore areas like these.. get someone who can guide you.. be careful guys..And please don't forget to visit Cebu. Just relax and keep going.. Keep safe to Both.
To commute to Intramuros is also take LRT get off at Central Station ( near SM Manila) then just cross the street using the underpass at City Hall. The entrance to Intramuros is just right there.
omg finally you're in manila. Have you been in Intramuros and Fort Santiago? i recommend you to visit there you'll enjoy there for sure. stay safe always for the both of you.
Woooh.....watching you guys keep on walking....I feel more tired...ha.ha.ha..as if I am the one cruising Manila's Chinatown....with the smoke from cars and the heat....I wonder how you cope...he.he.he....
If you ever go back to Chinatown, try the dumplings in Dong Bei, the fresh lumpia at New Po Heng and the real oldest restos in Binondo is Toho Panciteria/New Toho Food Center and Ambos Mundos.
It’s a long, circuitous trip to Chinatown you did from the Post Office to the Bonifacio Shrine, to SM Manila, and you said here you took the LRT, when you should have crossed the bridge (McArthur Bridge where you jaywalked) to Sta. Cruz or the scenic Jones Bridge that could have lead you straight to Binondo.
A lot of Chinese restaurants there which cater delicious cheap food which you havent tasted are mostly located in the alleys around the place and you need a guide to take you there.
The church does represent the spanish colonial era. Majority of the buildings represent the post war era. Chinatown - Escolta - Quiapo - Recto , the area was considered the business district back then before it moved to makati. Intramuros was the seat of power during the spanish era. There are a lot of old restaurants over there. I wish i could've recommended it to you.
That's not the oldest restaurant in Manila Chinatown. The oldest are 1. 'NEW TOHO FOOD CENTER' (1888) at 422 Tomas Pinpin Street, Binondo, Manila. The Pancit Canton remains a favorite, along with treats like the Kikiam. 2. 'AMBOS MUNDOS' (1888) at 750 Florentino Torres Street, Sta. Cruz, Manila. They serve Spanish and Filipino-Chinese cuisine.
I recommend Lord Stowe's Egg Tart or Baker's Fair Dinner Roll or their square hopia (different flavors!). I also loved eating at Ling Nam! Their Beef Wonton Noodles superb! Waiying also is a good resto their in Chinatown~
becareful walking like that of places in Manila guys snatchers lots there a d you know pinoy are known friendly but we never know whose bad people that places you been visited .enjoy your visit and be safe specially places like that hehe
I heard Helen... The Spiral Buffet. I hope you can visit Spiral Buffet in Sofitel Hotel. It's located in Roxas Boulevard. That's the best buffet in the country.
Hey guys, that sauce was given to you for that dumpling to dip.. It could have tasted better if you squeezed calamansi and dipped those dumplings before eating. Next time... Please.. If you do not know how to eat your ordered foods, ask. As I said, there is no harm in asking. They will not serve you food which will kill you. If Filipinos eat them, you can eat them.
Hope you still like manila it's different here we're on a 3rd world country.Many people are poor but they always smiling and laughing. And you guys are very down to earth when you go back home i hope you will learn more bout' philippines and we filipinos living in a simple life but very happy people and hospitable. THANK YOU!
Whenever we go back home to the Philippines, we always go to Binondo and the Sta. Cruz, Quiapo area. IDK why but I like the feels of wandering its bustling streets than anywhere in Manila😊
Please take extra care if you plan to roam in a street like that without a filipino guide bacause someone might take advantage with you like those kids asking for money just for taking a picture to a girl,its so sad,some of filipino kids has that attitude😥 im just glad that you are sport and kind to them,by the way keepsafe always guys and God bless you
Biscuit boys, avoid the rude people or at least get some local friend to tour you so, you could experience the place better because they know where to go and also for your safety 😉. Like the place you dined is not the oldest Filipino-Chinese restaurant it's "TOHO PANCITERIA ANTIGUA" that's were Jose Rizal dined whe he was a live.
The kids in the plaza are more playful than rude. Even the slur ‘supot’ (meaning uncut or uncircumcised) is friendly banter. It becomes racist though, but coming from kids (teasing each other) is passable.
You got me really scared and nervous everytime I"ve watched your vlog. Those crowded places you've been too are not quite safe to go. Don't ever try to go to Divisoria guys or even in Quiapo area there are lot of pickpocketers and snatchers around or else your wallet might gone just in a split second. I was already a victim of snatching in Quiapo. Try to explore a descent and safe place next time. Be alert with your belongings when you are walking. Keep safe always and God bless you always.
Eat at ToHo Restaurant in T. Pin pin street in Chinatown. The oldest restaurant in the Philippines. Specialties Are Pancit Canton, Lumpia, Fried Chicken. National hero Jose Rizal have eaten here. Other good restaurants in Chinatown are: Ramon Lee Restaurant near Sta.Cruz church and Sincerity Restaurant in Quintin Paredes St.
Hi Guys! Hope you enjoyed exploring China town in Binondo, Quiapo, except for the pollution of course. I hope you clean your noses as they tend to gather black dust from being exposed to bad air every time. By the way, I noticed you don't use condiments much with your meals. Sometimes, you can do without them, but most Filipino/Chinese dishes taste even better when incorporated with sauce. Like for example, those noodles you had (Pancit bihon/ pancit canton), they were served to you with calamansi (cross between lemon and lime) and soy sauce, on the side (others also supply fresh chilis). They need to be mixed together and then you just scoop a bit with your teaspoon and sprinkle it on your noodles or any savoury dish. Do try if you fancy next time, just so you can experience the full flavour explosion of a dish in your mouth and discover the difference between original/plain and with use of condiments. Stay safe!
as someone who has always taken foreign guests/tourists to walking streets like binondo, quiapo, malate and "poorer"/messier parts of metro manila, I'm pretty stoked about the fact that the biscuit boys have gamely explored these areas themselves, because not many tourists would, and clearly most filipinos seem happier that tourists only see malls and the typical tourist areas. I don't deny that there's a risk for pickpockets and scammers, but those people are everywhere around the world. I wouldn't encourage newbie/naive travellers to explore these areas alone of course, but clearly the biscuit boys are more experienced travellers already. It's ironic even that out of all the places they've explored, they got pickpockted in a mall and not in one of these "dangerous" places people keep telling them. and here's the thing. I don't blame some folks. as a provinciana, I too was constantly told that these places are dangerous. But after living in metro manila for over 13 years I've found out that it's never as dangerous as they say it is. if anything, the people that warn me against these places have never actually frequented the area. long rant, but to conclude, keep on exploring boys! I love how you guys are exploring manila better than most filipinos. but yes, just keep safe and stay vigilant!
If you visit the district of quiapo church go to excelente ham in carlos palanca st. They have a stall that sell sandwiches were you could taste the ham...the best ham during christmas season, try also kim chong tin hopia a chinese pastry..theirs ube, beans and pork flavor also located in that street..and vienna bakery (establish during the american period) try their cream puffs..
Really enjoyed your walking / food escapade. Just don't mind that one comment below on what one street kid told you. These kids are from the depressed area and they do not have represent most of the kids here in Manila. I know that you don't do research prior but I wish you made an exception to Binondo because I can see from the video that you missed a few really wanted places to eat like the presidents. You mentioned that the restaurant you went to is old 1940 but what you did not know is that in Binondo you can find the oldest restaurant in the Philippines, TOHO ANTIGUA RESTAURANT, existing since 1866 and to date is already 156 years old. If you get the chance to go to Binondo again I highly recommend that place. Really lots of fantastic places to eat in Binondo. Cheers 🥂
You should dip that Dumpling in the Sauce. There's King Chef Seafood Restaurant at Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, Manila that serves delicious foods.
I'm not skipping ads to show my support to our favorite biscuit bois. 🤗👍🏽. Don't be offended with those rude street children. Never mind them. Stay safe always.
Seemed like you missed a lot when you explored the Chinatown. If I remember it right, there are a lot of food and resto suggestions in one of your vlogs when it comes to Chinatown food tour. I even suggested too haha. There’s a clip in your video that you passed by the Shanghai fried siopao house - tourists love that place. Also, I haven’t seen you quite interacting w the locals. Ask and the locals will be more than happy to help. 🙂
Wow authentic chinese restu in china town. Looks yummy. Waiting for street foods challenge, mani (peanut, kwek kwek, isaw, balut etc etc) 😅. If you still gonna do the mang inasal chicken (grilled) unli rice challenge you may also try their halo halo it yummy too and the tamarind soup (sour soup) pork barbecue and palabok … :)

Woah braving the streets of Manila! Always be careful especially when crossing the street and if possible avoid walking along dark, sketchy alleys.

You'd enter at the back of the town guys, you must enter the town from the jones bridge (beside the post office), that's where the arc of china town..
If you ever go back to Chinatown, try the dumplings in Dong Bei, the fresh lumpia at New Po Heng and the real oldest restos in Binondo is Toho Panciteria/New Toho Food Center and Ambos Mundos.
Great to see china town bro... Im planning to go there
Be carefull always
Be careful guys..looking forward to see you in some tourist attraction here in the Philippines..

Explorers! I think I've only been to a restaurant in Binondo. You inspire me to go walking around.
They have the best lumpia there in Binondo! Next time ask any hotel staff or guards for reference.
A lot of Chinese restaurants there which cater delicious cheap food which you havent tasted are mostly located in the alleys around the place and you need a guide to take you there.
Bastos yung mga bata na yun ah dapat sa mga yun ipadampot sa DSWD..bootcamp para madala mga walang galang...

That's adventurous. I would like to go there one of these days. There must be some dishes for vegetarians there.
I am so sorry for that boy who called you supot. There is no such a perfect nation though and that’s an awful reality.
I recommend Lord Stowe's Egg Tart or Baker's Fair Dinner Roll or their square hopia (different flavors!). I also loved eating at Ling Nam! Their Beef Wonton Noodles superb! Waiying also is a good resto their in Chinatown~

Ang daming bastos na bata sa Pilipinas. nakakahiya. We Love you Trifate! ❤
Oo nga ang cringy nung mga bata na bastos. Marami rin naman magagalang pa na bata pero alarming yung ganun :(
Mostly in the slum area where parents have no more time to decipline their children compare to the children in the provinces.
So true. 😢 Nakakahiya.
Ano pa ieexpect mo eh mga skwater yan produkto ng kahirapan at libog yang mga hayop na bata na yan

Asian cuisine is enhanced by the dipping sauces... You can ask the waiters ...they will assist you... You can also ask for extra plates.
Our favorite is Ying Ying in Yuchengco St. Others you should try Masuki Mami, Dong Bei Dumplings, Sincerity Chicken, eatery in the Estero, Wai Ying...
You should get someone to teach you how to eat Filipino food the right way with the dipping sauce. It's all about the sauce lol 😆
I'm getting hungrier by the minute lol! I miss going to different cities to try out new food. Ahhhh! I miss my friends..
you guys shou;d do a collab with a filipino vlogger who could tour you and help you enjoy filipino and other asian cuisines
Please take extra care if you plan to roam in a street like that without a filipino guide bacause someone might take advantage with you like those kids asking for money just for taking a picture to a girl,its so sad,some of filipino kids has that attitude😥 im just glad that you are sport and kind to them,by the way keepsafe always guys and God bless you
You missed the Lucky Chinatown Mall. Every year we go there to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year and watch the fireworks display at Eve.
Biscuit boys, avoid the rude people or at least get some local friend to tour you so, you could experience the place better because they know where to go and also for your safety 😉.

It's needs to be dip in kalamsi and soy sauce to get the best taste hehe. Also pansit hehe
Omg that way in lrt I'm always walk there,, be careful guysss
You got me really scared and nervous everytime I"ve watched your vlog. Those crowded places you've been too are not quite safe to go.

New Toho is the oldest Restaurant in the Philippines and its located in that area.
Eat at ToHo Restaurant in T. Pin pin street in Chinatown. The oldest restaurant in the Philippines. Specialties Are Pancit Canton, Lumpia, Fried Chicken. National hero Jose Rizal have eaten here. Other good restaurants in Chinatown are: Ramon Lee Restaurant near Sta.Cruz church and Sincerity Restaurant in Quintin Paredes St.

I wouldn't encourage newbie/naive travellers to explore these areas alone of course, but clearly the biscuit boys are more experienced travellers already. It's ironic even that out of all the places they've explored, they got pickpockted in a mall and not in one of these "dangerous" places people keep telling them.
and here's the thing. I don't blame some folks. as a provinciana, I too was constantly told that these places are dangerous. But after living in metro manila for over 13 years I've found out that it's never as dangerous as they say it is. if anything, the people that warn me against these places have never actually frequented the area.
long rant, but to conclude, keep on exploring boys! I love how you guys are exploring manila better than most filipinos. but yes, just keep safe and stay vigilant!
If you visit the district of quiapo church go to excelente ham in carlos palanca st. They have a stall that sell sandwiches were you could taste the ham...the best ham during christmas season, try also kim chong tin hopia a chinese pastry..theirs ube, beans and pork flavor also located in that street..and vienna bakery (establish during the american period) try their cream puffs..
Love the adventure.
theres cr in every mrt/lrt stations, you always use that transport, dont just go down yet, sometimes its a bit far from the ticket pass
Really enjoyed your walking / food escapade. Just don't mind that one comment below on what one street kid told you. These kids are from the depressed area and they do not have represent most of the kids here in Manila. I know that you don't do research prior but I wish you made an exception to Binondo because I can see from the video that you missed a few really wanted places to eat like the presidents. You mentioned that the restaurant you went to is old 1940 but what you did not know is that in Binondo you can find the oldest restaurant in the Philippines, TOHO ANTIGUA RESTAURANT, existing since 1866 and to date is already 156 years old. If you get the chance to go to Binondo again I highly recommend that place. Really lots of fantastic places to eat in Binondo. Cheers 🥂
You should dip that Dumpling in the Sauce. There's King Chef Seafood Restaurant at Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, Manila that serves delicious foods.
I'm not skipping ads to show my support to our favorite biscuit bois. 🤗👍🏽. Don't be offended with those rude street children. Never mind them. Stay safe always.
Take care always guys!
Seemed like you missed a lot when you explored the Chinatown. If I remember it right, there are a lot of food and resto suggestions in one of your vlogs when it comes to Chinatown food tour. I even suggested too haha. There’s a clip in your video that you passed by the Shanghai fried siopao house - tourists love that place. Also, I haven’t seen you quite interacting w the locals. Ask and the locals will be more than happy to help. 🙂
Agree. It's frustrating that they dont feel like asking locals. We speak English, c'mon!
Ay naku. Those kidsss
Hello, Bacolod City will have their MASSKARA Festival in October. I suggest you visit the city. Just a one hour flight from Manila. It’s fun.
You can asked for a plate bro so that you can shate the pancit...great servings ah
The thin noodles called BIJON/BIHON is prepared from ground rice and the thicker noodles called CANTON or MIKI is prepared from eggs & flour.
Wow authentic chinese restu in china town. Looks yummy. Waiting for street foods challenge, mani (peanut, kwek kwek, isaw, balut etc etc) 😅. If you still gonna do the mang inasal chicken (grilled) unli rice challenge you may also try their halo halo it yummy too and the tamarind soup (sour soup) pork barbecue and palabok … :)
Divisoria is near that place, hehe you can visit there to the most cheap stuff in the Phils. care of and made in the China country 🤙🙏🇵🇭
your so brave walking to side streets of Avenida ave.
I’m always watching your videos. Here in California

You should have used the "calamansi" (green lemons) and sprinkle it in the bihon/pansit as it will enhance the flavor.
Okay i feel embarrassed about those kids 😭 nakakahiya talaga oemgeee
Very brave. Filipino and I have yet to visit that area with the slums.
They are so friendly to see two walking cash roamimg around the city.. lol.
You should try eating those dumplings with a garlic chili soy sauce + calamansi (lime) sause. That would be so good 🙂 Its all about the sauce hehe
Please go to Tagaytay...
