We're Kristin & Will, newlyweds from NYC that love all things food and travel. We spend our spare time and money traveling the world and our backyard looking for the best eats and most exciting experiences.
This is such a good review specially for your first introduction to the culture. Thank you for showcasing our food and I hope both of you get to visit the Philippines! You'll be welcomed with smiles and warm hearts. Good luck wiht your channel!
@travelfuller Cool! Will watch for it. Btw, if you can find an authentic resto (or know a filipino who can cook it traditionally) you might wanna try these other food that are also full of flavors Ginataang Kalabasa with Shrimp (Shrimp with Pumpkin & Coconut Sauce Bistek Tagalog Pininyahang Manok (Chicken with Pineapples) Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelette) Tinolang Manok (Chicken Tinola) Monggo Guisado (Mung Beans Stew) Lumpiang Sariwa (Filipino Fresh Springrolls) Igado Arroz Caldo
Imagine getting sisig for the first time and it's a bad one. You guys should go to a authentic Filipino restaurant. Not to mention the prices of these.
That’s not a good representation of traditional Filipino food. That said, I get these festivals are a gateway for people who are too scared to hit up Queens or the few modern spots in Manhattan.
Sisig is usually served on a hot cast iron plate served smoking hot drizzled with calamansi (lime like fruit) with mayonaise and cracked fresh egg on top. And fish ball is usually dipped in sauce. Some sells 4 or 3 types of sauces like sweet and sour, spicy and vinegar with soy sauce. 😁
I’m a Filipino from NZ and I’m shocked, that’s Outrageous price of street food in NYC! To the bloggers, that’s not look like Sisig and the fish balls it needs to dip into sauce. I won’t like fish balls too if there’s no sauce.
We definitely need to give sisig another try so we're going to make a video trying a better one soon! I'm surprised they didn't give us any sauce for the fishballs but maybe we needed to ask for it
The quality and taste of Filipino food in America has improved significantly. Many Filipinos unable to leave their country have no clue about how disappointing the food back home truly is---some dishes are so bad that they're better off fed to pigs.
Wow. Those food are really expensive. From the main course to the desserts. I can't believe that buko-pandan dessert is $10, well the tiny mason jar looks fancy. 😅. The fishball and pork skewers are very expensive too. Well, everything is expensive. The lumpia were extra tiny. You should try make your own pork lumpia. They're easy to make and more delicious specially if you only put garlic, onions and carrots along with ground pork. A lot of vendors add more vegetables so it's cheaper for them. Some would add flour in the ground meat. The ube burger/sandwich or whatever it was, looked like Americanized Filipino food. I have never seen or heard about it before. Though I often make ube pandesal.
That sisig doesn't look all that good tbh.. The one's you get in the philippines is way way better (taste and lookwise) compared to what you got from that stall.
