Really enjoyed the time in the Philippines and the best way to connect with friends is over a meal or two (or three or four). And that's exactly what I got to do! From the classic inexpensive street food to a traditional Filipino dinner with the great Lechon, Crispy Pata, and the giant crispy catfish, we were stuffed, but always room for dessert.
And that took us to the Filipinos Legendary Bakery for desserts! The classic ensaymada certainly didn't disappoint. Thank you for joining!

“That’s not tea,that’s vinegar!”😆 Learned my lesson the hard way as well eating in a Vietnamese restaurant. Gave me what looked like the free broth in every meal,it was in a little soup cup so without checking,took a sip..lo and behold,it was the fish sauce!😂

Kamusta (Hello in Tagalog) Tim!! What you ate at both Mama V and Milky Way is basically the same amount of food my mom (Michelle) cooks when we go over for dinner!! Filipinos love to eat and Filipino moms love to stuff you. You walk away feeling like a Thanksgiving Day turkey…STUFFED!! We loved watching your experiences trying the amazing foods that the Philippines has to offer at the various buffets and cafes in all your recent videos in the Philippines. My mom (Michelle’s) would love to feed you one day with the volume of food you can eat!! Salamat (thank you in Tagalog) for another great video and bringing us along!! 😊😋👏🏽

LOL, that is an eggplant omelette called (Tortang Talong), it's not a tortilla. By the way, aside from the Spanish name, I'm not sure if it's actually a Spanish influence. Do they have eggplant omelettes in Spain?... That's like saying that (Ceviche) is of Spanish origin because it has a Spanish name, when in reality it's an indigenous pre-colonial Peruvian dish that lost its original name. The same goes for Philippine adobo, the name is Spanish but the dish is indigenous and simply lost its original name.

@TimLeeLetsGo Год назад

I knew that about ceviche that it was Peruvian and origin.. I found that out in the streets of Miami at the time out cafe. Funny what one can learn when touring a food stand 🙂
