Walk further down the road. Go to 7-11 facing the church around 4pm. You'll see street hawkers selling siomai, calamares, dynamite bibingka.balut etc. Further down There is a shawarma place that serves good beef kebabs, then there's a Jollibee there go pass that there is a yellow store before the ice plant, there you can find Good Cassava Cakes and Pichi-pichi I think. Go further down that road and ask around for Emong's Malungay pandesal. It's a Filipino bread, you should taste that you can get it from the bakery you went to but Emong's is so much better. There's always a line there. Oh and after ask around where the vulcanizing is. They repair tires there NEXT TO IT I don't know the name is a "Pares" place. they have cauldrons outside you can't miss it. Order the pares. then walk further to the corner where you can get litson manok or roasted chicken.
I myself do a lot of spontaneous food searches whenever I'm in not-so-familiar places so I can relate to what you've done. More so because I also live in Quezon City, which is, by far, the largest in Metro Manila and with literally thousands of dining establishments, from the high-ends to the most pedestrian carinderias there are. Good show. 👍
I explore when wife isn't around. I drop her at a mall and I go walking. She has a more sensitive stomach and won't eat street food. Restaurants and A/C food courts are more her speed.😁
mall food courts here in the Philippines can be interesting. I have often thought about doing a video based on a large malls foodcourt. As always, thanks for watching, Darryl
Lugaw, Goto and Arroz Caldo are basically the same, the difference is Goto has pork intestines and tripe on it, Lugaw however is just plain rice porridge with some toppings sometimes. and the Arroz Caldo has hard boiled eggs on it.
Maybe about as real as I have experienced yet. I have been to several more famous Carinderias but nothing felt quite like being in these along random roads in Quezon City.
Filming that much in. a short time is often difficult. Being full was another reason I chose to end the tour. I could have easily filmed another 10 locations there
the carideria food you had are common everyday dishes, its like you mom's everyday dish... no innards or whatsoever... it family food, so nothing too extreme or special... in the philippines we also have that what you call sunday lunch... this is where the special dishes is served like kare-kare, dinuguan (pig blood stew), kaldereta, etc...
that's a great neighborhood for food. not many places have so many eateries right next to each other. it's really just hot eating during the day w/o AC. bulalo is one of the few Pinoy dishes I can easily eat without rice--it's usually not too salty
It was extremely hot out there. It was a weird day. I filmed that opening scene by our guard house and as soon as I walked out of the gates it started raining for about 30 seconds. It quickly stopped, sun came out and it was like God saying it was time to eat!😅
Bago Bantay is one of the best place to be if you are in Quezon City. Lots of carinderia food, near SM, lots of sari sari store, near terminal, etc. Strategic place.
Bago Bantay was amazing. And this entire video was filmed in probably 3-4 hours. There were a million other places I could have ended up at had these not been good.

A humble suggestion next time you have Bulalo. Take the whole bone marrow and place it in the small sauce dish. Sprinkle some Patis (fish sauce) and squeeze calamansi on it. Put some on steamed plain white rice, enjoy.
Woah! You ate so much within a short period of time and most of it comes with rice! That must've felt heavy on the tummy! Next time, you can just tell them "without rice" so you won't get so full very quickly. Nice video 👍🏻
Great suggestion! Check my channel out. I have released around 20 videos in the Philippines. All of your suggestions are featured and halo halo specifically about a dozen times. Thank you so muc for taking the time to watch.
I’ve been watching his video for quite awhile now and I haven’t heard him say this food is awful. He is not hard to please when it comes to food. He’s surely fun to bring him to a party.
And you will never hear me say anything is awful. It's not that it doesn't happen. It's just when it does I stop filming. I refuse to drag an establishments name through the mud especially when most of what I do is street food. This how people feed their family, they don't need a Western vlogger crapping all over their business. At any rate, I thank you very much for your continued support❤️
this is how i eat bulalo maybe some filipinos, first i kae the sawsawan. sour in some soysauce in your sauce bowl/plate, squeeze in the calamansi slice or press the red chillies making sure you press the seeds... then i get some meat from the bulalo, and soaked it into the sawsawan so that the flavor of the soy sauce calamansi and chillies sip into the meat... not eat that together with the rice dreanched with the soup and veggies... oh yeah....
My friends and relatives tell me im a good cook and i can tell that giniling that you had is good, ground pork sauteed in garlic and onions i add fish sauce after i have added the pork and of course the base is tomato sauce, boiled eggs are optional but they are good extenders for that dish.☺
Roadside eateries like that are usually cheap yet good home cooked meals, the menu varies per day too and its a go to eatery by college students and working class whos not fond of spending a lot of money for good food.
Oh wow.. my hood in QC. We have a house in B.B. Near SM North. I exactly know where you shot that bro hehehe. What are the odds..! There are some good eateries in n Monuz too..
This was a few months ago, Alan, and I am in Mandaluyong now. I stayed at Grass residences when I was there which is attached by skybridge to SM North. This was me literally walking out of Grass residences and walking three or four street near by
@@PureDetour technically Lugaw (porridge) is the plain one, it starts to change its name when added the main ingredients, when added with eggs it's called Egg caldo, with chicken it's called Arroz caldo, with intestines of pig or cow it's called Goto.
I have no idea. As I was walking down the street they followed me wanting to talk to me because I had a camera. They were hilarious so I thought the least I could do was buy them lunch
Usually I am not eating everything on the plates. I pack food and take it home or give it away if I have not put dirty utensils into the main bowl or plates. This one however was one shot. And it also why stopped after the Coco Sisig Kineme. I just couldn't eat anymore at that point. lol
You indeed are a good traveler Sir.🥰 You just enjoyed spontaneously with your food finds and so happy that you enjoyed Filipino food.💕enjoy your stay and take care..❤️ New subscriber from CA.👍
Hi Anna, I have been in the Philippines for 5 months and have made 19 full length videos here and a multitude of shorts. I have featured every dish you have mentioned and several of them multiple times. Thanks for watching
Egg pie has always been my favourite since I was a kid. In the US I only found one place doing that and it doesn’t even come close. That’s true egg pie where it’s dark brown on top. Not the light brown colour. I can’t wait to get back to the Philippines to have that again. Street food will never lose to restaurant food. Not only they’re as good, if not better, than restaurant cooking, they’re much cheaper also. Street food for me all the way. By the way, I have no idea how you can eat that much and stay that thin. Must be the chilis you eat all the time. If I can handle as much heat as you do, perhaps I’d be much thinner 😆
You are 100% correct about street food. I prefer it to many sit down type restaurants. As to staying thin, there is a reason I don't show myself on camera below the chest.😂
When eating bulalo always make a sawsawan or dipping sauce for added flavor, squeeze a calamansi, patis(fish sauce) or toyo (soy sauce) and sliced chili🌶️😋
Manila is not Bangkok. But vloggers are going to make it seem like it can be or is that it is. Bangkok is someplace where Scandinavians and Swiss people can eat where the Thai janitor or construction worker eats. In Manila, places called Lugawan or Karenderia is not even close to what a noodle shop in Laos or Cambodia is. While the places featured may be good. It can be misrepresentation of reality, when something so mundane is described to be "Awesome". (Love the tittle of the channel. I have very low standards for food places. But I take one look at some silver trays on a glass stand and my inner Mary Antoinette would say, Give them Jollibee.
