I grew up with a Filipina best friend and her amazing mom taught me how to make lumpia, chicken adobo, and pancit💗 She also was a second mother to me because my mom left when I was 8 yrs old. I was so blessed to have her in my life. I love you so much Mumma Teresita💗💗

Thanks for sharing us your story. When you ,by any chance come visit the Philippines, i would love to extend that hospitality and love of the filipino culture. Let me know. Take care!
6:36 Indonesian here. Up until this video came out, I thought that the bowls with the rooster motif are only used in Indonesia. Turns out they're commonly used in the Philippines as well! Shout out to our neighbor next door! 🇮🇩🇵🇭
Yes Sir. Also the plate with pineapple. We also eat with one feet up the chair! Cheers our malay brothers down south!
We have lot's in common! SEA represent!
Hi neighbor 😂
@@FrancesAnneFong hi honey 😍🇮🇩
Come on we are not neighbor we are brother ..put in your heart bro.
I'm living in Dubai which has a huge Filipino community. They are one of the most helpful and kind people. Always willing to help and have smile on their faces 😊🇵🇭🇦🇪
Thanks for the compliments and wish you well.
SALAMAT PO MAM
I'm from Israel, and there are many Filipino immigrants here. Every weekend they all gather in an improvised food market in the old Tel Aviv central center, to eat, drink and chat. It's one of my favourite places in Tel Aviv, always reminds me of the kindness of Filipinos and southeastern Asians❤
Glad you liked how we keep ourselves happy while working here in your country. Greetings from Holon 😊
@@DanesBee small world😂 greetings from Hod Hasharon!
@@ozilan7284 ❤️❤️❤️
and hello from Ramat Aviv! :)
Hi from Modiin
Just moved to the Philippines a few weeks ago - loving it! Now I just need to make my video edits this good and I'll be grand 😁🇵🇭
and Filipinos are number 1 in watching vlogs
You mean you are living in pinas for good thats great.
WELCOME BRO!!!!
For the content
lets talk on editing. :)
G'day from Australia! I had the pleasure of visiting the Philippines and let me tell you, it was ace! The people there are top blokes and sheilas - so friendly and hospitable. And the food - crikey! Palabok and Adobo were fair dinkum delicious. The culture and scenery are also bonza - from the stunning beaches to the bustling cities. The Philippines truly has it all. Can't wait to visit again soon!
Damn I only thought Australians talk like this not comment it aswell 😂😂
what the heck is dinkum? Australian Doughnuts?
@@KenMikaze LOL... Dinkum means Genuine or Authentic. Crikey is a Brits slang for Surprise. And Bonza is an Australian slang for Bonzer, meaning Awesome or Excellent. 😃
I never knew how great Filipino cuisine actually is until I left the country and tried other country's cuisines. Yep Drew, definitely underrated!!
My boyfriend is Filipino and I knew nothing about the culture or food until I met him. It’s definitely underrated
do you have a sister?
@@MrWackydoodles bro wtf💀
@@kingofhell402 im handsome, guaranteed.
are u asian as well?
Are you gay?
I’m so glad you didn’t feature well known Filipino dishes like adobo, lumpia, and sinigang but more obscure but very delicious cuisine from my home country. Thanks for showcasing Philippine food to the world!
Lumpia don't taste good but I agree with the others
@@skyral4137how to say that you don't like veggies without saying "I don't like veggies".
@@skyral4137 ur asian or not u have to taste all of the flavors man if u just eat if the versions its not the best but the others are the best just try it
@@skyral4137 I used to not like lumpia but now that I have that UFC banana ketchup, I'm just gonna eat it all day tbh
Great video Drew. I love the Philippines...I went there 4 years ago, and haven't been back (the virus) but Im planning to go back soon. Love the food.
Thanks for sharing😀
@@MoreTravelsWithDrewBinsky Big guy appetite channel love filipino food.
This is soooo true...here in the states....they said filipino food are underrated....but every potluck...that I go to....the filipino food are always the one ones that runs out first...I remember....some of my coworkers...neighbors and their friends....always ask do you have more of the filipino food......REPRESENT.....
Growing up in the 90s people would have such a negative stereotype of Filipino food. Now, you see Filipino restaurants popping up all over Chicago. My culture's food has become a trend, but I'm thankful people are finally opening up to trying it. Thank you for giving it more exposure.
I've been visiting the States, specifically California, since I was a kid, and I think the problem before was that there weren't enough good Filipino restaurants thats why Filipino food got a bad reputation. Not to belittle those Filipino restaurants, but many of them had owners who were probably not good cooks, nor have skills in managing a restaurant. I mean, not anybody can be a restauranteur. Maybe many of them decided on a Filipino restaurant just to make a living in the States but it wasn't really their thing. Whenever we go and eat at a subpar Filipino restaurant, I always think how the Filipino food is being misrepresented and how its a missed opportunity to show other people what our cuisine can truly offer. Filipino food is excellent and can rival the other Asian cuisines. The flavors and variety of our cuisine is amazing. How I wished then that Filipinos in the States who know how to really cook (and there are many) would start their own restaurants and offer better Filipino food. Thank God, now, like you've said, many new Filipino restaurants of good caliber have opened. Hopefully it gives Filipino food the much needed respect.
Who else loves the Philippines? Raise your hand 🙋
🙋♂️
@@arpadalmasi152 Thank you.
@@josueveguilla9069 yea I love the philippines from Hungary 🇭🇺❤️🇵🇭
@@arpadalmasi152 Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
🙋🏽♀️
After just 1 week in Philippines 🇵🇭The food is incredible I've put on weight I lost in India. Spent a weekend with Filipinos they like 7meals a day 😂.
I explained this to my husband that us Filipinos treat eating like a hobby or entertainment cause eating is where families and friends gather. It is def a special bond and moment. Unlike other people like my husband he treats it like just nourishment for the body or something that you just “need”. Us Filipinos we treat as “wants” and “loves”. That’s why when a Filipino invites you to a party and fills your plate with food eat it! Even when you’re full lol. Also gives you take away pls take it.
Yes, theres the usual breakfast, lunch, dinner..
Theres morning merienda, around 10am, afternoon merienda at 3pm....then the younger folks might have late night snacks...
Rinse, repeat every day....LOL
We are the hobbits in real world 😂😂😂
I want to eat at these places! 😂 I’ve been to Quiapo and Binondo many times and I plan to return next month. It’s funny how the Philippines has the greatest soups despite the fact that the weather is so hot. Usually in the states we eat soup on cold days and nights. Lovin this series from my favorite country 👍🏽
Well the climate is sub tropical with lots yearly rain. Soup is definitely best in rainy weather that's why we love soup
To add to that, we tend to eat anything hot and/or spicy and drink piping hot coffee literally in the middle of the day. Don't ask me why, even I don't know. 🤣
@@angkunehonghindimakali hahaha true ,we used to it!lol
@@angkunehonghindimakali 👍🏽😂 That’s very true! I’m tempted to ask why but seems like everyone truly enjoys themselves so I would just say to enjoy!! 😀
We drink hot coffee and cook stews on hot days a while we eat halo halo and ice cream on cold rainy days
Finally someone said it! Filipino foods are so UNDERRATED!
It's all about the views😂 I called it underrated the Filipino food are in mechilin ✨
Mikey Chen also said it.
Agree
Eh kinda overrated but okay
Bro is SOOO underrated. I’m a Filipino and everything is delicious
There are a number of Filipino restaurants on the west coast of the US. I had many to go to when i was in California. Now I'm in Washington still a good number of places. The best place to eat is at a Filipino's home so good.
Although Sri Lanka and it’s food is becoming more popular I think it’s the most underrated in Asia!
It's always a delight to discover new cuisines.
I think I found my first vacation place, thanks Dru and Chui 🌟💥
Me a Filipino watching a person loving the Philippines is just heartwarming man❤
filipino cuisine is so underrated. i'm so glad some foreign people appreciate it. 😊
Great video! Thanks for making these & giving us an insight into other cultures.
Great Job Drew! Thanks for uplifting the Philippines cuisine!
I should have one of my Filipino teachers from high school take me around the Philippines when I have the chance. I would love to experience their life there.
Thank you for appreciating the food from our country. The food from Philippines are really amazing.
You’re right, filipino cuisine is very delicious but unfortunately its underrated, thank you for featuring our food
Thanks Drew for this! Enjoyed it so much!
Thank you for getting the word out about how amazing Filipino food is and how awesome the Filipino people are! I appreciate you Bro!
I love Philippine Cuisine, something I might not like but in majority the food taste very delicious and exotic.
Very nice video that I like ! Thank you for sharing . Happy Sunday to you !
Welcome back Bro! Safe travels and enjoy the islands!
Pinoy cuisine is like a mix between Asian and Spanish cuisine plus the uniqueness of their indigenous cuisine, all those cuisines are fantastic, mixed up together and you have an spectacular cuisine.
Not really
Usually if there is a decent sized Filipino community, there will be a restaurant. I think one of the reasons why Filipino food is not really famous is because the way it's usually plated. A lot of it is not visually appealing, but things are changing.
You are right. Some Filipino restauranteurs in the US are lacking in knowledge on how to present Filipino in a way that would appeal to foreigners. Years ago, in San Ramon, California, I entered this small Filipino restaurant that was located in a strip mall lined with different Asian restaurants. It was a sad sight because the owner didn't know how to manage a restaurant. Everything was poorly presented, the decor of the restaurant was uninviting, and even the staff was lethargic. Even if they had good food, you wouldn't get to know it because you wouldn't eat there in the first place. I myself quickly made a u-turn out the door.
Fortunately, I've been hearing about many new Filipino restaurants opening up in the States nowadays. Many of them are being opened by Filipinos from the Philippines who have knowledge in running restaurants (or a business, in general). They are mostly young entrepreneurs who have the necessary skills and knowhow. I heard great reviews about their restaurants. I hope the trend continues and good Filipino food is enjoyed by many in the US.
yes 10 part series! exciting
Can't wait for more from this series!
Drew did it once again, Awesome Videos like Always You never fail to disappoint!
Ive lived in different countries and visited many wonderful places in the world but Filipino food is always going to be my favourite ❤️
Oh, we have a new tourist foodie guide other than I usually see in the vlogs of other tourist coming from other countries. Excellent👌
awesome. i have something to look forward to now with these episodes! and also when i go visit the philippines again! getting hungry watching this even tho i just had dinner lol
Thank you Drew for exploring our country 🇵🇭 and the delicious food around the Manila area ❤❤❤
The food looks delicious 😱👌
Thank you Drew for lovin Philippines ❤
Cool video! So awesome! Love the food, miss the country…soon
Oh I miss palabok, been 12 yrs since I had them, even bulalo. I have not eaten squib like that before , that will be in my bucket lists when I go back to the Philippines. Thank you Drew!
Drew, please keep on roaming around the country so that our foods in every provinces must be heard globally.
DREW is killing it! 😃👍
I am mouth watering watching you guys!!!!
I'm a 7th generation cook in our family business , and thank you for this video, u help us introducing to the world how good PH foods.
I miss the Philippines already....The palabok is sooooo delectable! It plays with your senses!
great show! thank you for showcasing palabok my favorite ever 😊😊😊
Great video and love the food
Cool video! Southeastern foods are delicious, keep on going 👍
Japanese here I'd love to visit Philippines someday☺️ Great food, fresh fruits, nice people
Thanks to your videos I learn a lot more about locals (and real spoken English I'm leaning hard these days >∆
Wow! Looking forward to watching more videos like this!
Makes me droll. Love it!
You're right i think now its the time for the Filipino Cuisine to be known also internationlly.
Thanks For Loving Pinoy Cuisine And Of Course The Philippines in General🙏🏽🙏🏽With Chef Chiu Around TARAHHH😍
The palabok looks amazing!
Super nice... I really love the vid... Ur so humble and generous unlike other vloggers... Ur the best. Continue to be a good one..
all these are just in Manila so far and coincidentally just the noodle based food. There are thousand more islands with their distinct cuisines. looking forward to more parts/episodes coming. i think a part of what makes it underrated is because each region have their own taste preferences, its not easy to say "these" are what makes it filipino food.
Si chui kasi nagdadala sa kanya kaya ganyan nalang yung kaya nyang ipakita which is sobrang dami pa tlga
Sinigang will always rain supreme for me when it comes to soups. I'm Korean and Thai so I know my soups and that sourness hits different even growing up with one of the kings of soup tom yum.
Thank you Brew. I love love love this episode!
So appetising, my gosh! ❤
Best collaboration ever. Chui brought you to the best food places.
Love your food tour of the Philippines.
Describing mami as “socks” or “feet” was not really the best way to sell that dish hahaha
I saw a documentary about this 100 year old shop …pre WWII…in Quiapo…that sells Hopia that are wood fire baked. Must be delicious too.
That 'socks' comment was inappropriate. Mr. Chui, next time do better please. I've eaten at Masuki (they have other branches, even in some malls) and at its cousin restaurant Ma Mon Luk , which is older. Their broth and noodles is not really luxurious. You can say that its even a commoners' noodle soup because it was indeed a commoners' noodle soup. It was started by Mr. Ma Mon Luk way before World War 2. He peddled it in the streets, carrying the tins filled with noodles and soup. It is not luxurious in taste compared to, say the Hong Kong noodle soups in most Chinese restaurants in Manila, but they have this flavor that makes it like a comfort food - nothing fancy but simple goodness. You put some pepper on the soup, some of the sweet sauce of the siopao too, and that noodle soup is banging together with the siopao!
Thank you for doing a vlog about our Philippines Cuisine. ❤
Thank you for sharing our food tradition bro! More blessings and power to you and your channel
Thank you Drew for promoting Filipino Food. It's not important how it looks like or how it's plated, damn it, just eat & change your perception!!! Happy eating guys
You're correct! There are lots of Filipino foods that are underrated. Thank you for loving our foods. Its a free promotion all over the world 😁😁😁
That is because the items that get so much attention and hype are so mundane or ordinary. Most Filipinos do not know what needs to get promoted because they do not anything about what people in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia eat.
You're amazing Drew!!!
It was a great video I enjoyed watching it, keep it going
I totally agree, Filipino food is
UNDERRATED🌼💜🌸
So glad you're doing this series, Drew! Filipino food is a hidden gem, as is the rest of the country.
Wow! Every food looks delicious! 😋😋😋🤩🤩🤩
This is a great example of Food Travel Vlog Segment! Approved!
Masarap ang mga pagkaing pinoy ginagago lang ng mga tindera kung hindi init init tinipid sa sahog
We don't need recognition it's just we love our foods no matter
Thanks dudes for the video. I enjoyed your food adventure and maybe one of these days we can also go to these food stores ❤
This is the kind of stuff we want to see. Perfect!
I love Drew and his content of every country.. much love and respect to Drew and Mark Weins... I'll sub also to Chui!
new subscriber here!! wow philippines ❤

I Didn't know about this BULALA resto.. need to visit soon!
looks so yummy!
I didn't know Philippines dishes are so rich
Philippines is a melting pot of cultures tbh, especially in Manila.
Thank you for liking our Filipino food. 🇵🇭 food is underrated because we lack presentation (eye candy).
Thanks for loving our food and our country the Philippines 🎉
God bless you bro in you vlogging journey. For that, I did subscribe to your channel. ❤
More Travels w/ Drew Binsky thanks for this video. I just subscribed.
Filipino food will always be an underrated one unless some Filipinos abroad are diligent and creative enough to promote it efficiently(esp. commercially)✌✌✌
actually, it is those abroad who destroy it to intelligent markets, who demand authenticity rather than manufactured dishes or fusion creations.
Thai food, Viet, and Taiwanese food are mostly greens and are healthy which foreigners love. Our food however are fatty, greasy and salty and this is why it is not as well known in some foreign countries..
Yes foreigners will love the taste of our cuisine for their first time but they will probably choose a more healthier dish the next time..
Only in major cities. Provinces have a variety of kinilaw, ginataan and kinds of pakbet. Stop talking trash about your own people. This is why shallow ignorance and disdain of elitists like you cause foreigners to think that our food is subpar.
We actually have lots of vegan/healthy dishes, it's just fatty & greasy food are more popular and often featured.
@@yu___kt name one.. most of vegetables dishes here have chunks of meat if you follow the original recipe
@@AdlenDelMundo bro u don't know visayan dishes ? my parents are actually vegetarian, u have the option to put meat or not on these dishes but mostly laswa , laswa na puso ng saging, adobong takway, adobong balatong, ginat-an nga gabi, apan-apan and many more can be cooked without meat. believe me or not I've tasted vegetarian binakol, pancit palabok, ubad, chicken curry without chicken 😭(we just used gluten chops), even veggie burgers and more.
@@yu___kt ocge sbhn mo sa foreigner mg request cla sa karinderya nyan. common sense eh. ang tinitinda sa karenderya mostly kht gulay merong bits ng karne.. un utak mo wla sa topic eh. prng di k bumubili sa karenderya eh
I missed the eating BRO. Thank you on the viewing of different areas of Metro Manila!!
Love your videos
🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🌟❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭❤️
Vietnamese food is overrated. It’s actually not that good. The westernized cuisine is awesome but the one in Vietnam itself isn’t.
Lol I never heard anyone say that Viet food is overrated 😂. And no way western Vietnamese food is better than the one in Vietnam. They are as good or worse because the preparation method is almost identical. I dont know what you ate in Vietnam and in western countries to come to this conclusion.
@@Nhn1460 I would lovee to tryy viet food🤤
Can't wait for the other parts,,,,😍 oooohhh DREW,,, you make me feel so excited about it,,
Thank you for sharing Sir, i hope you can add visiting some of the historical places with historical events to your content..... Nice video!!! 👍👍👍
