JIM'S PARES & MAMI - FAMOUS PARES USOK OR BEEF STEW IN MALATE, MANILA. 

It’s good to see a Foreigner who loves our LOCALS… no more hesitation on trying local food so his stomach acquires our IMMUNITY to common LOCAL food pathogens😂

that resto is close to home,but never been there .they should have tissue at least .owner seems to be tightfisted,for him saving money first ,before health !

When life gives you lemons when you're all down and out, then you make and eat beef stew with kalamansi standing up. You have been rubbing elbows with the Grab drivers and Lalamove couriers, so that must really have been some cheap eats. At 80 pesos or less than two US dollars, beef stew with rice would be a big "miss-steak!"

Give Mr. Poon's a try, 1630 L.M. Guerroro St, Malate, also Aussie MCKIES 422 Arquiza St. By the Red Planet in Ermita. Enjoy your vlogs, thank you.

I think that’s an eatery for taxi drivers, jeepney drivers, truck drivers and tricycle drivers

There is a great shawarma place near that place, it’s called SSC which stands for shawarma snack center.

Can only watch. Want to visit the Philippines but don't want to self quarantine for 14 days.

why plain rice? Pares should be paired with garlic fried rice, always, this is Balsphemy, haha

if you go here in cavite or here in tagaytay or even in batangas im willling to acompanied you to show you the best lomi house inbatngas and cavite, like in agoncillo, corclon , calaca , talisay lomi house

Must be hellish eating there in the hot months. I wonder if the usok does a lot to enhance the taste of the dish. Smokey mami is something I've never tried.

i heard the food is good at Eugenio Lopez Center in Antipolo City

4:05 when knorr beef cubes hit xD

I'm digging your street level vids - interesting to watch, thanks..

You should hit Cafe Mezzanine along Ongpin St. in Chinatown district for their sumptuous meals, also try their Soup #5.

There is no insulation on the roof of the carinderia. Damn feels like an oven in there! 😀

Good night marshall butter's stay safe stay healthy🙏🙏🙏

i love pares and it was my first time to eat here

Boss try Charlie’s Wanton in Mandaluyong. Authentic noodles same with chinese restaurant in binondo.

Ni chili oil. Chili oil add some flavor

Why put calamansi in pares? It's not supposed to taste citrusy. To each its own. I don't like to put calamansi in noodles. Why change the taste that you like? Sisig good will with calamansi because it's made to with calamansi. You don't put calamansi in Carbonara right? Why put calamari in everything?

You need a proper tour of Intramuros

Do you mind sharing what camera you're using? It's crispy clear even at lower resolution

hit up DA WAVE in Malate

THIS DISH IS VERY VERY BIG IN MEXICO THEY CALL IT BERRIA AND IT IS EATEN AFTER PARTYING FOR HANG OVERS

Emma very quiet and shy, that makes her very funny and interesting. Love your vlogs Sir Marchalls

Great video mate 🙂👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Cheers from Australia

You look like the guy I saw today around noontime at Robinson's Galleria Mall in EDSA/Ortigas Ave. but I wasn't so sure. Anyways, if that was you, you sure look lost and hungry! Cheers!!!

What's a PARES? you people come up with strange names jk 😅

There's another branck at Xavier ave. At Quezon city. There are chairs fan and it's more cleaner and comfy. But I like it there at malate. It's more tasty. 😆

Try going Davao so you find carenderias like the fav of pres. DU30 eating beef feet or pares..

Pares is so underrated street food. All other foreigners try is kwek kwek, balut, turon and isaw

Glad ur travelling Pinas...God bless u stay safe. Ur a local now ahh galing 👍

Emma added too much soy sauce in the soup 🥣 🍜 🍲 take care of your health. Soy sauce is good and tasty but that’s one of kidneys and HB pressure enemy.

Malate used to be the hub of Manila's night life. Let's say it was the BGC of its heyday. Oz is opening next month, you planning to hop back down under?

It's like I'm watching Christoph Waltz eating Pares.

Really nice ...getting hungry with your meal Marshall ...

Too much soy sauce 😅

Great stew Marshall im still having problems with my pldt wifi i dont know when my connection will back

Simple place but the food looked good. Heard you are going to get some rain, stay dry and safe on your travels.

I lived in Malate for a few years. I do like how you do street walks to places where everyday Filipino's eat

Very interesting

Wow pares! It looks yummy Marshall. Stay safe.

Good to see this. Just be careful. Watch your diet! Haha.

Nice!

Honest review lang to mga tol. Dinayo ko to kanina. Bumili ako beef pares. Parang ordinaryo lang lasa ng broth sa totoo lang mas masarap pa broth ng bulalo. Yung karne hindi din naman ganun kalambot at parang goma pa nga ung tigas pati may litid na kasama. Pag oorder ka pa mag aamoy usok ka dahil sa kahoy ung panluto nila. Overall rating ko dito 6/10. Kung taga doon ka sa lugar na iyon pwde na kumain dyan, pero kung dadayuhin mo pa ma disapoint ka lang

😋

Loved Your video, as always

does the menu have more then rice and beef stew?

@Marshall Butters, some malls have adopted, to some extent, the same set up - standing tables and no chairs - to attract people who frequent street food places. Not sure yet if you've already covered this kind of scene in your mall vlogs.

wow sir.. that looks delicious i wanna try that someday

hello marshall, just want to share this some tip for the best beef pares, the best to make the soup sticky is from tenderized cattles skin not from the flour starch as almost people usually do...its very authentic and strong in flavour for the soup alone , maybe its hard to find one especially in the cities i only found it one time in carmona cavite near the PFL training center.

New vlog to watch.. 👍

We use to eat at Jim’s pares when he use to have a small stall at Pedro Gil going to the American Embassy. It’s been awhile since i went back to Manila. Missing the street eats.. Thanks for the vids Mr. Butters!

Nice upload

you earned my sub. marshall

Unpopular Opinion: Calamansi makes everthing better. Try putting crispy chili garlic next time, makes it more flavorful. Another great vlog! More street foods pls!

Those wooden barriers on the table is ridiculous. Putting lime juice on a soup is not cultural, but perhaps that dish itself is not base on something traditional. Pares used to be something that is not like a Soup. People standing up and eating like this is so Strange for a Filipino food place. Its not even what is Basic. It was just POVERTY and innovation. Sadly this is how Filipino culture is evolving. If that was Basic, good luck to the poor.

Saw this comment on the origin of pares on Jessica Lee's YT video on favorite food places in San Juan where she ate at D' Original Pares. It sounded plausible and I thought it might be of interest to some here: Ivan Feliciano Just a bit of history about pares... Many pares restaurants claim the title "D'original"... But even before the so-called "D'original" pares got into the pares business. My kuya (cousin) put out the very first pares food stand back in 1982 (or 81). It was a feasibility study he did with his group mates for their final thesis as graduating students from their business course in UST. The "original" pares recipe was actually derived from a beef stew recipe of my tita (his mom), when we were kids we ate the leftover beef stew for breakfast and ate it with garlic fried rice together with the broth which was used to soften up the beef, and when we put the broth in small bowls we mixed in some of the sauce to add a little touch of "sosiness" (or sauciness if you may 😁). Back then we always ate this combo whenever our tita cooked her special beef stew and there are leftovers... So when he and his groupmates did a feasibility study for a food business. Since the proposed business was meant for the "masa", instead of the prime cuts of beef my tita used, my cousin used beef trimmings which cost a fraction of the price for a kilo of premium beef. But he stayed true to my tita's recipe, he still used star anise and cinnamon bark for the sauce, but he omitted the root veggies (to reduce costing). So the way he presented it to his potential customers is a small serving bowl of garlic rice, a small bowl of the beef "stew", and a tiny bowl of the beef broth mixed with the sauce of the stew, and I think back then they sold the combo for 10 or 13 pesos (early 80's pa 'to, hehehe). When they started their mock business they called it "special beef bowl combo", but some guys on his group said that the name isn't "masa" sounding... So my cousin said that it was our favourite combo so he just tagalized the word "combo" to pares... First they used the term beef pares, but decided later on to shorten it to just "pares". It was a hit to students when they sold it from a food cart they designed. And after they graduated they thought of opening a proper food stand along P. Campa street in Manila and called it "Original Pares House"... It went on for about five years until each one of them ventured into different ventures (my cousin's whole family migrated to the US)... Later on many pares stands sprouted in different places in Manila, doing their own spin on their pares combos, adding other food items to their menus like siomai and lumpiang Shanghai. Some use innards in their pares, some even have lechon kawali in their pares. You may want to do a whole episode on pares, and I suggest you start with Jona's in Retiro, because it is the real OG pares houses (after my kuya) that are still around. As for other suggestions just refer to RU-vid for that. Anhhyeong! 😊👋🏽

You have to try Jonas' Pares if you're ever in Quezon City. I believe they're the originators of the dish.
