Trying Authentic FILIPINO Food!! 🇵🇭 Lechon and Halo Halo Dessert 

Wow that’s very interesting!! I didn’t know the fruits changed with the seasons! Thank you so much for all that information!! 🙌🇵🇭

Thanks so much!

Yum!! Some of the best parts of Halo Halo! 😍 Buko is delicious always! 🙌

It was amazing !!! 🙌😍🇵🇭

Always, thank you🙌

Thank you so much!! 🙌 Such an unique mixture and it all works so well because it’s so delicious 😍 🤗

Me too!! Craving Halo Halo again it was so delicious!! 😍

❤​@@taylorsaunderss

We tried to go to House of Lechon in Cebu and it was sold out so we tried again in Bohol and it was closed for lunch, we listened to our tricycle driver for a recommendation and was super disappointed! 👎 Next time we’ll have to try House of Lechon again in Cebu!

Thanks for liking🤗

Haha yes!! That’s how we enjoyed eating it as well it was delicious !!! and also there’s no rules to eating it so why not get 2 desserts in one🤗😜

Amazing!! mixing it was delicious! Also we can’t wait to go back to Cebu and taste truly good Lechon since we didn’t get the proper experience the first time!! Thanks a lot for the recommendations! 🙌

Thanks for the tips! We enjoyed it so much before and after mixing it! 🙌 One of my favourite things we have tried in the Philippines!! 😍

I think we went to a really bad restaurant because it didn’t look like anything there was very good sadly 👎

I'll check it out! It looks delicious, kinda freaks me out to know what it is though haha

@@taylorsaunderss It's fried pork belly with spices and usually onion or green onion and a sunny side up or over easy runny egg on top.

And it's Halo Halo (sounds like Hall as in hallow hallow)

Oh reslly? I read that it was pork jowl and ears, pork belly and chicken liver 😳 that’s why i never tried it because of what it was!!

That would be amazing! 🙌

Wow thank you so much for that information!! I had no idea it originated in Japan!! That’s super interesting information and i’m so glad to know that now, Maybe when we’re in Korea we will try Bingsu! 🙌 & I agree i don’t think the Lechon place we went to was a good resturant at all sadly 👎

​@saunderss You're welcome! Now, if you're planning to taste "balut", here's how to eat it properly: 1. Look for the wider, rounder end and crack open a small hole. DO NOT POUR OUT the liquid inside. 2. Sprinkle some salt inside and sip the liquid until you've drunk it all. Some people will suggest sprinkling some vinegar into it but you're likely to end up with the liquid tasting like vinegar, so I'd suggest avoiding doing this. 3. peel away the shell until about half remains, exposing what's inside. 4. DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT eat the hard white part. Throw this away. The yellow part is the yolk, and this is okay to eat. 5. Eat the chick last. If the egg is 14 days old, you can just swallow the chick straight off. As the eggs become older, the chick becomes more formed, and the bones, beak, and feet become harder, and the feathers become thicker. The chick shouldn't be more than 18 days old, but there'd really be no way to tell. The vendor might claim it's a 14-day old egg but you'd have no way to tell if he's lying or not. 6. Brag about it to your less adventurous friends. A few more tips: 1. If you haven't gone to the Salcedo and Legaspi markets (in Makati), don't bother going there. You're not really missing anything worthwhile. If you do go there, it'd be pretty disappointing, especially if you plan on eating there. The seating area is almost always full so you don't really have a place to enjoy your food. The food items are kind of expensive, and you realize you could have gotten the same kind of food items at a decent restaurant with A/C, better service, and prices that aren't too far off. 2. Don't go to Intramuros or any Philippine museum on a Monday. They're closed for cleaning. 3. Always bargain with tuk-tuk or tricycle drivers. Ask him to name a price, counter by half, and start from there. Never, ever take his first offer. It doesn't matter if the driver's original price comes out less than five dollars. You're still being ripped off. Also, tuk-tuks and tricycles are only good for short trips. Malls in Makati are never accessible by tricycle or tuk-tuk. Any tuk-tuk or trike driver who says he can take you to the mall (In Manila or Makati) in his vehicle is an effing liar. Never attempt to go to a mall using this form of transportation. You're likely to end up having to walk a kilometer or more to go to the mall, not to mention getting into a fight with the driver for lying to you. Just use the Grab app to book a ride. 4. When in Cebu, always go to Rico's, CNT, or Ayer's for lechon. I'm not sure if Zubuchon is still open, just ask around. But those are the big four. 5. Temple of Leah in Cebu is not really worth visiting. Nothing Instagram-worthy there. Also, don't go to TOPS unless you have your own transportation. I'm enjoying your vlogs. Keep safe!

@@taylorsaunderss If you're still in Cebu and you're craving cheap Chinese food, go for the Chinese buffet at Ding Qua Qua in JY Square, Lahug. If you want a more authentic but still inexpensive experience, go to Fung's Noodle House, at SSY Business Center, across Salinas Drive from JY Square.

I think so too haha! 🤗🙌

Next time!🙌

Yes so we hear!! and haha we aren’t there anymore, timing just wasn’t on our side this time😂 Next time we will have to plan a time when we’re in the same area at the same time and get a tour! 🙌

Welcome!! 🤗

I didn’t know Toronto had Lechon!! Thanks for letting us know we will have to try that out!

@@taylorsaunderss It’s called Wilson’s Haus of Lechon (Bathurst/Wilson) & Max’s Restaurant (Steelers/Dufferin )

Amazing!! Thank you, do you have any recommendations for good Halo Halo!? 😄

Try Max for halo-halo. But for crispy skin lechon , go to haus of lechon.

Okay awesome! I will have to check those places out they sounds delicious! 🙌

Amazing!! 🙌🍨

Yes next time we’re in Cebu we’re going back to House of Lechon! 🙌

I understand you're not a fan of meat. But if you guys get a chance to visit Bacolod. Try Chicken inasal at Aida's at Manokan Country. You won't be disappointed 😁

I do eat chicken sometimes, so i’m sure i would love that!! 😃 Thank you so much for the recommendations!!

Yes for sure, next time we’re in Cebu we will be going to House of Lechon! 🙌

Awesome! I also liked Chicken Inasal when I was there! like you I don't eat pork that often.

A lot of people have recommended chicken Inasal as well, next time we’re in Cebu we will have to try it! 🙌

Yes we need to try lechon at a good place to get the true experience! 🙌 And yes we halo-halo was amazing mixed and unmixed ! 😍

Next time we’re in Cebu or Manila it’s first on our list🙌

@@taylorsaunderss Taylor we enjoy your vlog even if you do not eat pork !!!! please do not be obliged. Besides there is plenty to eat other than pig. take care guys !

Thank you so much for the support!! 🙌 We appreciate it so much! 🤗

Yes we’re going to try Lechon in a new place in Cebu or Manila when we are there next time! 🙌

Yeah it was extremely disappointing, we had high expectations of it and it was very poor 👎 Thanks for the recommendations 😊

Holy crap... I'm a Filo American in L.A. Cali... and I've had waaay better lookin lechon over here. That's just unacceptable lol

Oh nooo!! So we’ve been hearing this is not normal!! Next time we’re in Cebu we’re going to try a better place, someone has told us Toronto, Canada has some good Lechon similar to LA haha

Yes for us it was, i do feel we need to try Lechon from a better place although Chicken Inasal would be for me more as i don’t normally eat meat! 🙌 Thanks for the recommendations! 🤗😄

Oh i didn’t know that was what makes the meat different!! Thanks for letting us know, next time we’re going to get some good Lechon in Cebu🙌

We were disappointed in it 🥺 Next time we’ll try a popular Lechon place so we get the true experience 🙌

i pronounced it both ways in the video and asked for someone to correct me on which one was correct.

Oh okay thanks for letting us know! 🙌 Next time we’re in Cebu we will have to try the Lechon there! 🤗

Haha that you for correcting me 😂 And wow we didn’t know we were eating litson, also didn’t know there was different types of Lechon to have! we tried Kewali in Puerto Princesa and it was delicious! 🙌

Yes very bad and would not recommend 👎

I didn’t say they were sugared, i said the crispness reminded me as if it were sugared because it looked so delicious but that wasn’t the case.

Yes for sure! We would never have found this Lechon place but our tricycle driver actually brought us there and said it was good, we come to find out it was definitely not good👎

@@taylorsaunderss its not good, i saw it so oily. Even me i will not definitely eat.

I’m glad it wasn’t just us that thought it was super oily 👎 I will not let one bad Lechon ruin our experience of it! I’m excited to go back to Cebu sometime and try it 🙌
