They even wash ur hands.. That's how Filipinos so different from other nationalities 😍

Thumbs up for Manong Balut vendor for the awesome customer service. Even offering to rinse your hand like that. 👍 👌

Even the street vendor’s customer service was top notch. 👍

That was so adorable when you gave the extra food to the kids. They loved it. They also loved being on camera. So cute.

I’ve been to Philippines several times. I’ve devoured a lot of street food. I’ve never been able to bring myself to eat balut!! Props man!! Next time your in Cebu check out their street food it’s so good.

oh my God! you are actually sitting in the side walk of the street! you are really real cowboy! GREAT!

Why doesn't travel channel hire you? I swear dude you have top quality content

Thank you for this series. You've helped me scratch this off my list.

Love your shows Gareth 💗 My favorite so far is the one where you stood the exact spot your grandfather took a picture at so many years before. If I may say sir that you remind of the late great Anthony Bourdain on how you find the great hidden spots, that everyone wants to go to but didn't know they were there before watching your show. Be safe on your travels sir and can't wait for more shows.

Adidas in Brazil (Pés de galinha) very delicious! I love "pés de galinha" and beer!

you’re my new favorite travel vlogger. i like your content and your personality. your editing is top notch. cheers!😊

The intro scenes, combined with the perfect music, are glorious, just glorious. Does anyone wonder why I keep coming back to this?

Another great video. Nice editing. Genuine reactions.

My eye hurts now... been watching your Philippines vlogs since 2pm and its already past 8pm here in Toronto... it was so nice to see places that me myself as a Filipino has never been to. Me and my wife loves watching your vlog and we enjoyed it a lot. I got hooked up into watching vlogs like this only this week. I've seen few other vloggers, they look good and fancy but yours is different in a way that you explore not only the beaches and food but also the people and its culture. Good luck man to your next adventure! Philippines a lot more to offer even a year is not enough. Greetings from Toronto! Btw, I felt jealous! Its getting cold here now... uggghhh missing that warm Philippine weather.

You’re so brave eating all those food! Makes me want to be adventurous like you next time I come visit the Philippines.

I always salut you to show the world the filipino culture.. i love your blog..

Ave is hilarious! Love her travel vlogs and probably the best travel vlogger in the Philippines.

I love Ave's energy!! Great vid and educational

Eating that food definitely shows your "travel deeper" spirit! I was cringing the whole time!

Street Food is a favourite of mine - so delicious and mouthwatering and Filipino Street Food is just as i expected full of surprises! Two great travel vlogger's collabing :D !!! - i hope one day i can do an indonesian food episode with you Gareth :D - that be a treat - that words you told me "never too big to collab" at Tokyo - Haneda still lingers with passion wew! haha your face at 2:30 Gareth :P the deep fried quail egg =D looks crispy as hell!! - i usually eat the soup based one with vegetables delicious chicken rubber band haha - i always eat chicken feet for yumcha/dimsum but the filo chicken feet haha you arent supposed to eat the bones gareth ahahah! gee aveloveinit didnt tell you fast enough haha.. Thumbs up for Balut - im not sure i can eat it just yet! :D that was something.. This was an awesome street food episode! :D can't wait to head down to manila and smash them street food myself. Thanks for sharing Gareth! btw..People in Manila are so friendly ^^

Great videos Gareth ! From beautiful places in Philippines down to street food , your awesome!!

Hi Gareth, I highly appreciate your passion in exploring Philippines. Thumbs up for doing a great job! More videos! and keep safe ;)

Thank you for visiting our beloeved country Gareth,watching from 🇨🇦.

Oh my I admire your enthusiasm I’m Filipino born there but now living here in Seattle and I can not eat balut, thanks for appreciating our country and our culture

Texture’s what gets ya! Great vid dude!

Gosh y it took me so long to discover your yt channel...@avelovinit is my fave local youtuber...i'm glad you're friends w/ ave👌

You should have your own show on Travel Chanel, you’re very good at this!

wow! you're a tough man. 💪🏻❤️ can't even eat balut. so proud of you Gareth! thanks for appreciating and liking our street food. 😊

It might have been kinder for Ave to explain how to eat the different items rather than leaving you to fend for yourself, it is like being given a banana for the first time and having to figure out how to eat it. And why would you give someone something to eat that you wouldn’t eat yourself? That’s such a great way to introduce someone into your culture ... You’re a brave man to eat a duck foetus from a street cart vendor ...

I think I am fan of yours now dude. I love your photos and videos in IG as well. Keep on travelling.

Gareth love your videos. The more you eat balut the more you'll love it. Thanks for sharing your food to the kiddos that was awesome you are class act my friend.

Hi Gareth! I honestly love your blog! The best! I felt the sincerity of you in every place you've been here in the philippines! And the one thing I really like is when you got emotional on visiting the same location where your grand father went. So endearing. Keep it up! Hope I can meet you! 😊😊😊👍

Eating street food in the streets! Most authentic street food eating content ever!

Missed everything on the Philippines thanks exploring Philippines we loved yah

Im always watching your videos.I love it so much❣️❣️

they all go great w/ ice cold beer. that's what you guys missed

Do more food videos - I like your regular adventurous American travel tone when eating. You are not a snooty, bug-eating "Woeld-Music" guy with an open mind for everything on Earth. You are more... Normal. It is nice to see you suffer trough a few things. It makes the things that you actually like more powerful. And it gives me hope for our people.

Gareth, you are no. 1!

Owh man what a nice travel vlog thank you for visiting our country man btw balut is my top notch favorite and it's even nicer if it is in 18 days

Oh God.. i miss that chaos of Manila.. 🇵🇭❤️

Love your content Gareth! You made me miss Manila my hometown...😭😭😭

That was hilarious! 😂 I've never been able to get past the look and texture of chicken feet either!

You are a brave and daring man Gareth. Love your honesty and true to challenge yourself eating local Filipino street foods. Love watching your videos, so continue in keeping us viewers about your experience here in the Philippines. God bless

I really enjoyed your vlog ! Lovely food ! You are so brave ... you ate chicken feet and balut

Youre so brave and natural reaction best male vlogger ❤

Kudos for you trying the balut

Great videos. I spent two weeks in Metro Manilla in 2004. Kwerk kwerk is the best. I was given Balut but not told what it was. I thought it was just a hard boiled egg. Those crunching bones! I felt sick for hours. The energy in the city is incredible. I've also been looking at your Norway videos. I spent two weeks there too and am going back in September. There is nothing to beat travelling.

That isaw. Saaaaaaraaaappp!!

You ate balut!! I'm impressed!! I like balut, but I skip the hard white part. Good job, G!

Hope you enjoy eating street food of manila and vacation as well

Marami din sigurong nabiling souvenir item ito, you are no longer new to our culture!! long live❤️❤️

I’m late to your vids but I really enjoyed your series on the Philippines

She really screwed you over keeping chicken foot information. Your face eating that. I can't stop laughing.

I like your attitude. I amazed to watch your vlog. More power Leonard

I love watching your videos ❤️♥️♥️

Am enjoying ur videos!Keep it up bro! Frank from Guam USA!

Hi Gareth, I am filipino living for ages now in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and I am missing Philippines and the filipino food terribly while watching your videos ha ha ha. Thanks for great videos and thanks for being positive person, I need positive vibes right now. I was worried that you will be choked when you put the whole chicken feet or the "fingers" part in your mouth and did not spit out the tiny bones ha ha ha Keep coming the videos man and keep spreading the positivity in this world..i will do the same in my own way.

I was going to comment on the Betamax thing but I see you got it covered. Yeah, it was the precursor of VHS from what I remember. I actually do not eat chicken feet, but the squid balls and fish balls I eat whenever I visit home. Balut, I love the soup and the yolk, the rest of it I give to someone to eat. There's another version called balut penoy, and it doesn't have a developed embryo, just basically egg yolk.

Hi Gareth, i couldn't beleived that you were right here in Makati Ave, Makati City, Philippines eating Balut. We appreciate for enjoying eating filipino street foods.

Congrats Gareth, after you eating Balut, you're a Filipino now.🥰🥰🥰

You are one brave man having that balut my friend. I have only eaten it a couple of times, and during those times, I was falling off the chair for being so drunk.

I like my balut with just salt. It brings out the flavor of the duck, yum!

I love your courage, man! The balut was rad.... I, too, like the deep fried quail egg and the chicken intestine. More importantly, i just love the hospitality and friendliness of the filipino people. I truly enjoy your travel videos.. well done.
