Hey guys the end of my Food Adventure Giveaway is almost up! To enter, go to my website and follow the instructions. Ends March 20th! eatwithmikey.com/
Gotta disagree with you boy. Dept. of Tourism aims to promote the country on a bigger level, and since the country has more than 7,000 islands and of different culture different food etc. It is far beyond their task to showcase things like these youtubers show in their vlogs. It's either you're too disconnected with the department's activities or you just don't want to see what you should be seeing.
Filipino food is one of my favorite foods. I was introduced to it when I was in college. I had some Filipino friends and they would have big dinner parties at their house. Great food and wonderful and kind hearted people.
Its in our culture, being good mannered, religious and friendly. We have a thing called "bayanihan" and i dont really have a exact translation but if i have to explain it ,it would be to help anybody at anytime and anywhere without needing something return. We act like everybody is family. Even families, i have aunt and uncles that arent even my aunt and uncles but they know me as much as my parents or even more than them if thats possible( ￣▽￣)
Your videos are some of the best portrayal of cultural food world wide I’ve ever seen. I’m glad and intrigued to visit the Philippines. Am a first generation American born Filipino American and would love to be able to go and see my family’s culture first hand. Thank you🤤🐟🐓🍦
YES! Sugbo Merkado is really on top when it comes to night markets. It's really clean, and well-managed. I'm glad you guys get to feature it here. Thank you.
Hi! Really love the attention that you're giving to our favorite hangout place! I hope you keep coming back. But to everyone who is coming to Sugbo Mercado that is a foreigner, please remember to be polite and peaceful. We've been getting so many cases of foreigners causing trouble here and it's just really upsetting for us locals because we don't have a confrontational attitude. 🌟 Please try and eat everything you can.
italians love to feed people too...so does spaniards, and french and latin americans...so yea! its all about breaking bread...and drinking wine (or in our case, beer or tuba)
@randy espeleta are you talking about Filipino taxi drivers in Manila? because i don't see that here in Mindanao, and in Visayas and Northern Luzon. if there are (just like cheats in every normal society), they are few. you are comparing culture/social heritage to individual behavior...wrong!
Don't mind those "pinoys". Trolling is a past time for a lot of Filipinos. We have a saying "Ang asar, talo" direct translation "the one that gets pissed, loses".
Strictly Dumpling thank you!! Hope you visit us again!! *and have some meet and greet* i'm from Batangas who's living in Manila, and you went to batangas & manila and I didnt have the chance to meet you!! So i'm hoping to see you around next time!!! 💖
This particular market is right smack in the middle of a business district. Everything surrounding it is office buildings and its a little shocking if you're not used to that. Went there, had a great meal! Though I didn't get the chicken.
Revina Que I would like to think it's because he had good recommendations :) I mean, any country you go to, it's always hard to find "good" food without a lot of research or recommendations
MA Hu We don't actually know if these are naturally raised, roaming chickens - they could be slaughtered at 3 or 4 weeks instead of the standard 6 weeks.. Western agricultural methods have destroyed farming globally 👎😡 really disgusting and abhorrently cruel
It is actually very popular in the Philippines, the Native Chicken, and cultivated in many farms. They are far smaller than artificially raised chickens served in fastfoods but they produce more oil and far more delicious especially in paricular dishes (e.g. tinola)
Native chickens or manok Bisaya are raised in many farms in Cebu and the ones I've seen are free roaming. Often raised in backyards where they're free to scratch and peck around. They're smaller compared to other chickens but have a different flavor.
Kuya Mike. I have been refreshing all your channels like 20 times a day. Agh one of my most favourite RU-vidrs. Travel. Food. Comedy. YES!!! So happy you visited my country. Makes me miss it a bit less, living in Europe and all. Well actually it makes me miss it more cause I miss the food...
They're not being nice just to sell you their food. Cebuano hospitality is insane. I went there during Christmas season for an internship and I think I attended like 12 different Christmas parties lmao they invite everyone and there's lechon everywhere 😁
I love how they don't need fancy or plasticky bowls to enjoy a soup when they have banana leaves on styrofoam cases. Filipino food is awesome. Bihon and Pancit, or Pancit Bihon is amazing!
I haven't been to Cebu yet, but maaan, after watching this video, I want to book a flight to Cebu now.. I'm glad you had a great time in the Philippines!
that Native Chicken is free range and farm bred they are not grown in poultry farms and fed with a lot of feeds that's why it is so delicious and the Tinoom with that chicken broth, the broth came from the chicken Juices they just put a little bit of water for steam wrap it tight with banana leaves, steam it and the juices of the chicken goes out and mixes inside creating that delicious broth and they did not added any flavor enhancers to it just plain salt, tomato, lemon grass, onion and ginger
Thanks for the good review of our Filipino Food! 😊 A little trivia: (You had noticed that we always use banana leaves to wrap our traditional foods.) My grandma told me that they use banana leaves before to wrap their lunch for school. It's like their traditional lunchbox. 😊
I have to say though, among most south east Asian countries, I prefer going to the Philippines just because I won't have to learn their language, they speak English quite well.
You can tell he’s full when his nose turns red and he looks like he’s about to sneeze 😹. Notification squad here... you know the day will be good if you start it by watching Strictly Dumpling lol
Hi Mike... I would just like to say, If the chicken that you ate in Cebu is the best. Then why won`t you try to come into my island (Negros) just 1hr away from Cebu Island via Toledo City - San Carlos City by ferry. Coz, the best chicken in the whole philippines in only in Negros. It's called "CHICKEN INASAL" one of our island`s pride dishes as well as ESTOFADO and LINA-GA (pork/beef sour soup). For there`s one fruit in the philippines that can only be found here and take note it only grows here in Negros and that is "BATWAN" not all filipinos know`s about this fruit. It`s only indigenous in our island hope you`ll pass by our island before heading back to Manila. BTW, thanks for all the positive review that you`ve given so far on all filipino dishes that you and your wife (sorry, if i`m mistaken). I really appreciate what your doing and help us filipinos promote our delicacies. Filipino food is one the world`s most unrepresented food in the world. Again, thank you! always been a big fan of your vlog.. :)
Karl Bajar We also have Batuan Trees in Iloilo. It's not exclusive in your place. And Estofado doesn't came from Negros. It's common dish within Spanish-Colonized country (Chile and Peru have Estofado too FYI). If you say that Estofado came from your place, did you know that Ilonggos cook a lot of Estofado too (most esp. during fiestas)?!
Uhhhmmm estofado,linaga and batwan is not exclusive in youre island. You just mentioned the most common dishes found throughout the Philippines. Are you really Filipino?
Kudos to you my friend...I recently came across your videos and I loved everyone I've seen so far. Thanks for the uploads.......I haven't been back home to the Philippines since 1998 (shout out to my Cabalens)...but your videos....especially the Night Markets.. makes me want to go home just to pig out...lol....danggg....mouth watering...Keep it Up.
Thank you Mikey for coming over here in Cebu. I was planning to get some food in Sugbo Mercado which is a nearby food market from our house and I feel abit sad that I didnt see you. Uggghhh..but now I am so glad and amaze how you like our food. I should have been there waiting and eyeing for you to get a picture of you. So close yet so far. But then again thank you for sharing and featuring our gastronomic food here in the Philippines especially here in Cebu.
I am proud of you, knowing what is calamansi now from the start of your manila journey you only said citrus flavors. now in cebu your mentioning the all arounc citrus we use calamansi.... maybe you should try kinilaw.. (ceviche)... enjoy eating.. :D I don't know if you tried taho, maja blanca, sapin sapin, ibus (ebus), halo halo is pronounce as (hălo hălo) your close, but i was laughing when you said halo halo with a long A sound used in ape.. but good job.. keep up eating.. :D totally support you.
Mikey, super great gratitude for your vlogs. I'm 58y, from Manila Philippines, have done a few local and asian travels (wish I could do more) Your vlogs got me started on going all over on virtual tours. Still am recovering from the loss of my wife five months ago and your videos play a great part in making my days less lonely. Thanks, or as we say in the country "salamat"!! And keep them vids coming
Im so mad that i live in cebu and havent tried half of the things youve shown (except for the tuna, its so good) definitely going tomorrow and drag my friends with me 😂😂
I was 1 hour late but I am watching this at 1am in Singapore. Thank you so much for the like the last time. Btw I am 12 and have school tomorrow but I love your Vids and would love to meet you some day.
Cebu is a fantastic place to be exposed to really good Filipino food!!! Cebu has great Lechon and Humba!!! Two must have dishes in the Philippines!!! Dinuguan from the Visayan region is also awesome!!! ☮️🖖🏽
Lechon is a favorite foods and home in Cebu, Philippines and let's enjoy to meal between Birthdays, Weddings, Celebrations, Vacations and among them the Noche Buena on Christmas Eve Season and we love the favorite for the Filipino foods only.
HOOOOOOOOOLY COW, Mikey you're already at 1 mil subs! I've been following you for quite a while and it's awesome that all the work you put into your videos is paying off! Keep it up man, love your content and your positivity, your adoration for food is inspiring
I swear I have never heard anyone give a more thorough and diverse way of describing food... not even on the Food Network channel or anything like that! I seriously get entrapped in his words
Oh boy! You're making me sooo hungry, again! I can't wait to go back home to Cebu & Negros island next year year for a visit to my homeland and eat my favorite lechon manok (roasted chicken), etc.! Filipino food...the best! Thank you for visiting my country, kiddo! You're awesome & love your food channel. God bless you & keep up the good work.
i can argue with you not to take my pride as filipino but to tell you that theres a lot of kind filipino cuisine not only meat salty and greasy but all veges, so dont worry if you live here you have a lot things to do so to be alive and happy...
Dale, for our daily fare we eat a lot of vegetables. Bitter gourd, moringga, banana blossom, okra, water spinach, eggplants, beans, squash, carrots, chili leaves, river fern my favorite etc. So you're good. :)
hi Mikey that roast 🐔 chicken looks amazing and very delicious. that egg whoo . enjoy today's video tremendously, till the next video have a great day today God bless 👋 bye. 🍴🍗🍤🍝🐠🐟🍖🍜🍳👌👌👌👌👌.
Sugbo Mercado should continue doing this food market maybe branch out to other parts of Cebu City and neighboring cities. Its supporting local entrepreneurs and creating new food products. I bet you found the best place to gorge on different kinds of dishes that's mouth watering from the viewers perspective.
